Tumhari Sulu Movie Review

Movie Review - Tumhari Sulu

This is one of the rarest cases where I went for a movie without having any clue about the movie. A friend of mine said let's go for this Vidya Balan movie. I said okay . We went for an evening show at an INOX.

Starting of the movie clearly depicts that it is a movie revolving around a woman from a middle class family. Sulochana aka Sulu is a housewife from a middle class family . She is shown as unsuccessful 12 class failed woman who tried her hands on so many things but failed in everything she tried. But she doesn't give up. She is always compared with her twin sisters who are doing well in their respective lives and career. Sulu 's husband is a struggling man, who works for a garment firm for the past 12 years. He is not happy with his work life. Sulu has a son also who add some humour and unnecessary tenstion to the story.

First half of the movie is interesting, as audience and as Vidya Balan's fan you would be keen to know what is coming next. From housewife, all of a sudden she became a late night RJ who works under Neha Dhupia. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Neha Dhupia.  She adds glamour and masala to this middle class family drama. Second half was boring, I feel that writers didn't know what to add in 2nd half, so they filled some unnecessary drama. Clearly story was dragged in 2nd half. Then all of a sudden they realised times up, movie needed to be over and they made it over. No kidding.

I give Tumhari Sulu 2 stars... for Vidya Balan and Neha Dhupia.

Gulabo... I want you more and more...

Indian Dessert Fusion

After having a ravishing dinner at Nirvana a famous restaurant in Mumbai, the manager came to ask if we want a dessert which is just out of the world. He offered Gulabo with lots of excitement and a big smile, we instantly said... Sure, why not?? Wait was little long... around 5 to 10 minutes. But let me tell you every second we waited was worth it. Gulabo came in a plate very well decorated and very beautiful. Slices of Gulab Jamun dipped in a flood of rabri. Centre attraction is a smooth creamy milk cake type, topped with half cut Gulab Jamun. The beautiful plate is garnished with chopped crispy almonds and pistachio. I can die for it over and over again.

Life in Mumbai Local Train ... Episode 1

Life in Mumbai Local Train is equally interesting like Life in Delhi Metro. I don't want to compare these two interesting journeys. With excitement I am writing my first episode of Life in Mumbai Local Train. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. 

It was a normal working day, I boarded the train at Marine Lines which is just one station away from Churchgate station where I had to get down. I sat next to three women. They must be in their late 40s or early 50s. They were going to work, I guess they work together. Like the way I and my friends do, they were discussing about 26 Jan holiday travel plan. Don't go by their looks and age , they were three smart women who could easily beat even teenagers in terms of energy and excitement. They planned to go to Aurangabad and visit Ajanta Elora . They planned to return on a Monday and go to office directly. Man ... this is what I do all the time... return on a Monday and go directly to work. I feel so happy to know that I am not alone.



It was a very short journey but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to their conversation. After they successfully planned their travel they moved to a new topic ... topic about a movie where there is Sanjeev Kumar and Shashi Kapoor . I have no clue which movie they were talking about . Then one of the ladies started singing a song from the movie . Another woman joined her. Then all three of them started singing together. They were least bothered about what others might be thinking about them... That's how it should be. A morning Mumbai local train journey like this is most welcome .
