Movie Review: Kalki 2898 AD

Image
  In the cinematic universe of Indian science fiction, "Kalki 2898 AD" is an unparalleled milestone. Directed by Nag Ashwin, this grand spectacle melds mythology with dystopian futurism, creating an experience that resonates beyond the screen. With the visionary Prabhas at the helm, portraying the titular Kalki—Hinduism’s prophesied tenth avatar of Vishnu—this film serves as both a riveting epic and a profound meditation on the cyclical nature of human civilization. The Plot: A Vision of the Future—and the Past The year is 2898 AD, and Earth, now a shadow of its former self, is ruled by oppressive regimes that have cast aside the ancient virtues of humanity. Technology has evolved into something akin to magic, where quantum mechanics and AI form a dystopian theocracy that controls the masses. Amidst the chaos, the prophecy of Kalki—foretold in the ancient Hindu texts—begins to materialize, with a mysterious warrior rising from obscurity to challenge the dominion of these tyr

MOVIE REVIEW : Sector 36

Image
  Sector 36 is a beast of a film that grabs you by the throat from the opening scene and never lets go. Directed with razor-sharp precision, this taut crime thriller is a testament to the idea that justice is not only blind, but at times, unforgivingly brutal. The story plunges us into the underbelly of an urban nightmare, a city teetering on the edge of chaos. Sector 36, a notorious district, is where the worst of humanity festers—drug lords, traffickers, and killers run rampant, protected by a system too corrupt or too broken to stop them. Enter our protagonist, a steely, weathered police officer who’s seen too much and lost even more. His resolve is both terrifying and magnetic, a man who walks the fine line between law enforcer and vigilante, driven by a thirst for vengeance that feels personal, raw. The atmosphere is oppressive, the kind of claustrophobic urban decay that makes you sweat just watching it. The cinematography is slick, using dim, harsh lighting to mirror the moral

The Almond Story

One couple with their little son were living happily in a house. One day the wife found some almonds in a jar on the kitchen shelf. It was almost forgotten, kept deep behind. The wife was quite health conscious. She always used to prepare foods with less oil, less spice. She used to control and monitor her husband's food habits also. Drinking a lot of water was a must-to-do daily routine for that couple. The wife was quite happy with this sudden discovery. She did not want to keep those almonds untouched anymore and want to empty the jar. It was late evening. The wife took a bowl and put all the almonds in that. Then she poured some water into it. Somewhere she read that soaked almonds are good for health. She did not want to miss the chance and waited for the next morning to come. The next morning, the husband woke up first with the same daily habit of reading the magazine for some time. Meanwhile, he felt little hunger and rushed to the kitchen casually to find someth

A Wish

Author: Sham Saha Dated: December 06, 2011 How many times have you felt dejected when God has not fulfilled your wish? I am going to tell you a tale which is based on wish. I know Arpan since my childhood – since those days when we used to fight over rare and expensive TinTin Comics available in a small town, since those days when we used to fight for the best place in classroom just around the single ceiling fan in a class of 61, since those days when we were in impish deed like ringing door bells of any house and used to run away from the spot.  Still we were best friends and had close-nit bond. Those days remain yearning forever. After we passed school, we were not in same place. Things had changed. I got opportunities to study in Metropolis and left my small town. Still we were in touch. My best hang out had been always with him when I was at my home in vacation. The only change I saw in him, that he was quite reserved to share his personal matters, otherwise he
