Kurbaan – First Look

September 24th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Bollywood, Films & books

This is what excites me today – the first look of Kurbaan, an upcoming film with Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor. Painfully intense, but promising. Yay!!

I have to say that I was very amused by Karan Johar’s comment on the poster, and how he said it:

“One’s a bare soul and the other one’s a bare back…” :)

Sensitive and prude people, consider yourselves warned..!

DEATH

Terry Pratchett is an absolutely brilliant writer and his books really amuse me :)

DEATH, found in several of his books, is the quirkiest and most memorable character in a book ever – I adore him to bits! Don’t you just love him too? ♥

Here’s a few of my favourite Pratchett quotes:

- DON’T WORRY, IT WON’T BE FOREVER.
- Good.
- IT MAY SEEM LIKE FOREVER.

Maggie O’Farrell

Maggie O'Farrell

I love Maggie O’Farrell. She’s my all-time favourite writer, and I’m eternally grateful for all the beauty she brings into this world. Each page in any of her books is as delicious as a perfect piece of dark, rich chocolate! There’s something about her voice, her writing style, that simply moves me beyond words… Over and over again I’m blown away by how it conjures up this mesmerising sense of getting intimately close to each character, inviting me to feel the rhythm of their breath, to taste the unique quality of their heartbeats…

Saif Ali Khan & Deepika Padukone in Love Aaj KalIt’s been a really long time since I looked forward to a film as much as I am yearning for Love Aaj Kal right now. Directed by exceptionally talented Imtiaz Ali and starring one of my all time favourites, the insanely amazing Saif Ali Khan – this is one of the few upcoming releases that I simply can’t wait to watch! I’m loving the music, and the promos are all looking very promising. Oh, come on… release already!

Rang De Basanti

Rang De Basanti

I’m just after rewatching Rang De Basanti. Again. I was crying my heart out, as usual… It’s such a soulful, beautiful and awe-inspiring film, and yet it somehow leaves me shattered and emotionally exhausted every time.

What is it about these boys that makes them have no fear? I think sometimes a person can be pushed so far that they enter a place beyond fear. A place where you find a strange peace. Where you free yourself to do the right thing. Because sometimes that’s the hardest thing to do.
