Jawan Review: Citizen Khan’s Massy Bollywood Mas Jawan Review: Citizen Khan’s Massy Bollywood Masala Entertainer For The Political Bharat! Whistles, song, dance, crazy fans, popcorn stockout, SRK fans going crazy - The SRK masala blockbuster rides the Great Indian Theatre takeover! I saw the movie in a big non-multiplex screen on the first day and public was hysterical at every SRK act - entry, dance, dialogues, action! The southern spice and Bollywood superstar create magic! ‘Bete ko hath lagane se pehle, baap se baat kar’ got the maximum applause. Aryan - ticked! The fight against the corrupt system - spearheaded by an army officer and his jailer son. Farmer suicides, dilapidated medical system, faulty arms deals, environment harming factories politician-businessmen nexus, international collaboration - all the ingredients for our hero to fight the system and stand up for common man. After a spectacular opening act, SRK sets the pace with fiery Robinhood acts with the Chak De type womaniya squad. Nayanthara and Deepika are effective and glamourous. Vijay Sethupathi is underutilised - a stronger villain was definitely needed! The little girl is too cute and Sanjay Dutt is forced. The Hollywood matching action and thrills are highly engaging. The pace dips in the second half and music is forgettable - unusual for a SRK movie. A stronger edit and sharper dialogue writing would have lifted the movie even further. Though the final climax with its big sermon and action ensures a strong ending. Watch the total paisa vasool Bollywood masala potboiler! SRK is having fun as an action hero after his romantic hero days. Pathaan scores over Jawan but let the audience decide! #Jawan #JawanReview #Shahrukhkhan #Atlee #Nayanthara #VijaySethupathi #indiancinema #bollywood #newreleases #hindimovie

Teacher guides to develop hand (skills), head (knowledge) and heart (wisdom) with love, grace and humility! Remembering the wisdom, love, guidance, warmth and values that I have received. I am because of these divine souls who have blessed the paths of many. I remember the debts that I owe to my parents, my friends, my colleagues and my seniors for being the guiding light in this journey. My best lessons came from my critics and adversities! My mentors have never preached or given lessons - they have inspired me by their actions, ideas and presence. #TeachersDay #teachers #gratitude

When Impregnable Outliers & Strongest Stars Get Di When Impregnable Outliers & Strongest Stars Get Disillusioned! One of the most pivotal points of ‘The Scam 2003’ is the turnaround of an upright, ethical and faultless government officer Madhusudhan Mishra. The vrituous and disciplined soldier has been toiling for years but has been ignored and often overlooked for promotions. He turns away the conniving scamster protagonist Abul Karim Telgi and his bribes. In fact, he invites Telgi to his office and publicly humiliates him in front of the entire staff for attempting to corrupt the system. He is impregnable. Telgi is smart and ensures a promotion for the officer by greasing palms at the central government. The officer finally gets the promotion but he is devastated and unhappy. He questions that the system never saw decades of his work and loyalty. His entire career’s work was neglected but a scamster’s one act got him the promotion! His unhappiness and sense of bertrayal is real. On that fertile ground, Telgi ploughs his charisma and soft spoken charm to sow the seeds of his empire. By winning over Madhusudhan Mishra, he won a lottery and builds his network. What are the lessons? Majority of the corporates and government offices work because of the diligent and righteous professionals. Failing to create a system that acknolwedges, respects and encourages these individuals is a recipe for sub optimal success. The top management and HR function believe that the people stay for the paychecks but the outliers are driven by their own professional values and moral compass. Extraordinary leaders like Rockerfeller, Carnegie, Bill Gates, Tim Cook, Tata, Narayan Murthy & Abdul Kalam shine as examples for pushing the envelope for a true meritoracy with human touch! #scam2003 #sonlyliv #scam2003sonyliv #thetelgistory #crime #thriller #weekendwatch #ott #corporatelessons
