My thought on: Aarakshan

When i first saw the trailer, I knew exactly what to expect. A lovely melodramatic, heartwarming, meaningful & realistic film. 

The director, Prakash Jha never fails to surprise me. 

The presence of strong dialogs in all his films are well appreciated by his audience and always gets me thinking. His films all have such immense strong morals which i hope everyone learns from. 

You can never walk out from a Prakash Jha film without thinking about the moral. 

I've watched Aarakshan 12 hours ago yet it's still on my mind and I'm not surprised! 

Aarakshan is a movie which i truly believe in. 

This movie shows how the education system is not doing enough or even anything for the people who are lower in society. 

What i love about Amitabh Bachchan's role is his will to give more then he takes & help others even if he has nothing. He has a perspective on education which he truly believes in and stands for thus proves that education is nothing you can buy.This is a reason why everyone should watch this film because we need people to follow Amitabh Bachchans characters footsteps. 

Amitabh's character is a warm, giving teacher who teaches free of cost for students from the weaker community. 

In my opinion education is both equally important to any student who is from a high society class or not. 

What has society to do with education? Why does it matter? In the beginning of the film, Deepak Kumar (Saif Ali Khan) is interviewed by some people & the people ask him about his society/background & not a question about his education. This happens in everyday life and that pains me. Whats wrong with this generation? Society shouldn't be questioned. 

This movie has been banned in 3 states! Why? Watch it yourself to see if its deserved to be banned. 

All the actors in this film portrayed themselves perfectly. This has been my favorite performance of Deepika Padukone as she was influential in her role & extremely committed. 

Amitabh Bachchan was the star, the gold, the diamond. You cannot walk out from this movie without praising Sir Bachchan because his effort, & skills were visible.

Saif Ali Khan hasn't proved himself that much with this film since he wasn't in this film as much as Deepika and Mr Bachchan but his role is like a breath of fresh air. Extremely refreshing and likeable and the same applies to Prateik Babbar! 

It is worth watching for the sake of the moral and lesson but is slow in the second half. Many of the credits go to the director Prakash Jha and I hope people will give this film a chance. 

My rating: About a 6.5 or 7/10

Life & beyond!

"Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again. Life each moment 
no matter what"-Anonymous. 
Life brings such powerful moments which we have to face. 
Either moments which impact our lives in a positive or negative way. 
In my previous entries of life, we've talked about life being filled with good moments and bad ones. 


"The biggest risk in life is not taking one."
If you don't take risks in life, then how can you say you lived life? 
Isn't life full of taking chances? Full of letting yourself out of your character experiencing 
new things?
We have to go through risks.. Risks which either ends the way we want it to or not. 
To experience both these moments put you in a forward position in life-I mean, doesn't life do that?
This is life.


"Everyone dies, but not everyone lives." "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, but the life in your years."
These are 2 quotes i recently read on twitter. 
You can die at the age of 85 yet feel you've lived an incomplete life, and you can die at the age of 20 and feel you've lived a complete life with no regrets as you've lived your life to the fullest and ultimate best. 




As much as life isn't about winning, it isn't about the amount of days you've lived either. 


With all the games and obstacles in our lives, we either win or loose. 
Well, winning is one of the best feelings ever experienced. 
A feeling of accomplishment, pride, & joy bundled up together,& above all, the thought of 
being unbeatable.
Losing is another story. 
If life was about winning, then how could you say you've learned anything in life?
Because, when you loose, you learn from your mistakes since the only reason you loose is from a mistake you've done. 
Winning just isn't life because if it were, then cant you just imagine what it would do to your self esteem? 
Loosing builds emotional resilience. 
I'm not saying that losing is life but simply stating that its important to experience loosing too! 
Life is about the things you catch up with by experiencing both winning and loosing (in this matter). 
It's those feelings i've mentioned above about winning which makes you experience the goodness of it and also the importance of loosing by learning how to get back on your feet and learn from your mistakes. 
Winning and loosing both simply move you forward in life. 


Life isn't about the amount of years, months, or days you've lived, but the life and memories in your years.
Never count on the amount of time you may life, because thats not the definition of life. 
Who are you? What is your purpose in life? What is the meaning of your life? 
Instead of asking yourself how much time you have to live, ask yourself how you will use the time your living now! 
Life is full of second chances so if you feel your not living life the way you'd like to now, don't give up on yourself because one day when your in a hospital bed you'll look back and ask yourself why you didn't grab the chance when you could've. 
You must understand its always better late then never. 
Live that 2nd chance and if God doesn't give you that chance, then you have to seize it yourself.

Scene from movie 'Pyaar Impossible'

My thought on;Singham

If your a person who loves action, and thriller then you'll love this film.
Singham, a thrilling action movie which will leave you at the end of your seat.


All the actors we're portrayed perfectly and the credits have to go the director since it's visible that he's broughten the best out of all the actors in the film. He's extremely talented, and his work is well appreciated! Kajal, a new comer in bollywood, played a great supporting role. Also the villians were shown in a strong fierce way which would amaze the audience.


 Ajay was the star of the show, non the less he was the hero! He was brought perfectly in this movie. He played a really good hero which amazed me since I'd just look at him and say to myself that we do need more guys like him in reality who thinks the same like he does although that was just a character in a film, and this is reality.
I haven't seen many of his work, but i bet that this is one of his best work.

The storyline of this film was strong and Ajay tabood it very well by being the macho hero he was. It was very impressive! 

My rating of this film: Between 7-8/10. 

My opinion on;Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, a movie that you will refuse to let go from your mind and heart since it will stay with you forever. Its a movie that will have a huge impact on your perspective of life, and widen your eyes to such beautiful things you've never focused on before. 

It's incredibly inspiring, and motivating. Its not just a movie that entertains an audience, but gives a lesson that can change ones life. As said in Amitabh Bachchans words 'ZNMD is a triumph of spirit' 

In just 10 days it grossed 1.08 billian indian rupees! 

The poetry in this movie was written by none other then Javed Akhtar (Directer Zoya Akhtars father, and father of actor Farhan Akhtar). Spoken to millions with the lovely message its given out. 

All the actors (Katrina Kaif, Kalki, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, and Hrithik Roshan) we're outstanding and superb! They really proved themselves with this film and i could go on praising them but you should watch the movie yourself to experience seeing them act in such wonderful roles.

A strong moral brought up in this film: "Birth was not our choice, death is not our choice, but the way we live our lives is absolutely our choice. Enjoy your life" This is the message sent out. Live life. Lifes too short. 

From this inspiring movie I've made a bucket list, a list of things I'd love to do before i die. Definitely inspired by ZNMD. Wouldn't have ever written a bucket list if it weren't for this eye opening movie. 

I am a dreamer, but ZNMD taught me to do more then just dream, but to fulfill all those un-granted wishes and dreams i've been holding in my heart for so long. 

So why not make a bucket list? Ask yourself what do you truly want? What are your dreams? Things to do to make you feel like your lifes complete?Go for it! 

There are so many more morals, but it all comes back to one main thing; living life. Watch the movie yourself, and experience the importance of life through a movie that brings such meaning, a magical journey, and the importance of giving everything a chance. 

My rating for this film: 8.5/10

The three friends in life (Past Present Future)

Everyone has a past, present, & future. 


Some stuff that happens in our past are moments in life we never want to remember. The moments we regret, feel guilty about, or absolutely hate. It could go on. But don't forget there were also moments of happiness, joy, moments you'd love to repeat and live again. 
They say we shouldn't live life with regrets. I agree. Life is short, we should live it to our fullest. How? Well, I've been asking myself this question and the only thing that came in mind is to not take everything so seriously. Shameful to say, but I've failed at that. I actually take nearly everything seriously, but there is a reason to it. At least, that's my excuse. My advice is to lighten up, i will take this advice for myself too. 
I'd love to have a mind thats free. Not worry too much yet not too little at the same time. To have this comfortable balance, & be happy with everything. Of course that is impossible (To be happy with everything) because life is life and its bundled up with both good and bad moments. Truly, the only way you can approach to life succeedingly is to deal with everything that comes to you in the right way with extreme balance and strength. Not sure how, because i can give you indefinite ways since it depends on which situation.  :-)  


As we're done talking about the past, lets talk about the present.  They say “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.” This gives us a reason to why everything we regretted in the past should be thrown in the garbage and be forgotten since its HISTORY. Today is a gift, and thats exactly why it's called 'Present'. Take it as a gift/blessing from Allah to have you live this wonderful day.


The future, as said in the quote above is a mystery. A complete mystery. A lovely mystery. Who knows if it will be a good day or a bad one? But there is a way to control the future, in a way. Heres a quote to support what I'm saying: 'Every Morning You Have Two Choices: Continue your sleep with dreaming, or wake up & chase your dream." This is in your control.  All in your hands to do what your heart or mind tells you. 


Shahid kapoor recently tweeted on twitter:" Be thankful for life every moment of it !!! We really have no idea how much we have !". You could die any second. What would panicking do? Live life! Chase your dreams! Sing in the rain! Dance in the snow! Enjoy every second your given since remember, the present is a gift and thats exactly what your living :)


Well, heres my favorite quote of all time! "Forget mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it. Today is your lucky day.:)"-Anupam Kher. 

LIVE. LAUGH. LOVE. 

Goodnight everyone, 

Sara. 

P.s. Every wonder why its called Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening, Good night?
