Patiala House

The best thing of this movie is to see Akshay Kumar in a role of a sober boy of 34 years old who plays cricket and runs a small shop. In short, this is a story of a second-generation Sikh in London's South Hall area who gives up his dream to save his father`s reputation until he meets a girl who gives him the strength to stand up for what he believes. 

India today has correctly and precisely reviewed the film which goes like this :  “Bijis, baujis, bhangra. It’s a tried and tested formula that doesn’t always work. But add to it Bollywood’s new favourite Punjabi kudi Anushka Sharma and lots of cricket on the eve of the cricket World Cup and it’s a surprisingly watchable movie.” 

Yes, it is a just watchable movie with family and we should not expect much from it. 

Broadway - another multiplex came to Salt Lake

Broadway Multiplex - another multiplex opened today in Salt Lake City on its Broadway Avenue. The use of name "Broadway" is very significant because it is on the Broadway Avenue itself (on the 5th. floor of Big Bazar Building, at Sector-III, Salt Lake City). With this  multiplex, Salt Lake City got two multiplexes,  the other one being at City Centre. Another two multiplexes are at Swabhumi and Mani Square Mall which are at stone throw distance from Salt Lake , on the other side of Salt Lake, on the EM Bypass. 

Salt Lake residents may remember today that decades back there was a proposal to open a Cinema Hall near today's City Centre but there was a hue and cry from the residents of Salt Lake and  the move was stopped. That time the parents  of Salt Lake thought their children may go spoiled by frequent watching movies in the nearby theater. The move was opposed and stopped. Today, Salt Lake got 4 multiplexes, each having 4 screens, means 16 theaters,  enough to spoil their children.

Now the crazy politician who are in Renaming  spree, should rethink to rename this Broadway Avenue, the prestigious Avenue of Salt Lake City. As we know there is a thinking to rename it after a freedom fighter or a poet to show respect to them by some politicians. Putting the respectable leaders  or poets or anybody on the roads, is not the only means to show respect. to them There are ways to show respect to them. Why to drag them to the roads.

 The Salt Lake city residents, especially of Sector-III,  should cheers for this grand opening of this multiplex making movie watching  simple, comfortable and convenient.

"Patiala House" will be my first movie in this theatre on the opening day.
