ABCD2 , Aga Bai Arechya 2 and Timepass 2!

       In general Bollywood is not that great when it comes to sequels , especially when the sequels are a continuation of the first part. The main reason maybe that most of the times the sequences is an after thought , the producers hoping to cash in on the success of the first part. But then it's like a double edged sword as people have even higher expectations from the second part. These three  movies are no different and they are not worth separate posts. Also," I reveal too much of the story in the post " was a complain from one of my readers ( who is responsible for 33% of the page views of this website; the other...

Its a novel...

Ashi Hi Banva Banvi- Revisited!

Recently I had too many references to this movie from one of my friends and I didn't get them most of them. Although this is one of the most successful movies of OUR times (I guess when you are beyond 25years you can start using these generation related phrases), I didn't remember much of this movie. I knew what the cast was and what the plot was but the jokes seemed unfamiliar so I had to revisit this one. In OUR times our sources of entertainment were limited, most popular being the weekend night movie on DD national (which went on till 1-2 given the number of ads it had including the famous Nirma, Vicco wala ads). Marathi movies had the...
