Talvar Movie Review!

Talvar is not the regular masala Bollywood movie. It does not have the luxury of Item Songs, In fact, It has no unnecessary "Sing and dance routine". It is fresh and unlike a typical Bollywood movie. It focuses on the story and characters right from the beginning till the very end. Almost all of us know that the plot is loosely based on The Noida Double Murder Case(14-year-old Aarushi and 45-year-old Hemraj, a domestic help employed by her family).
All of us know about the verdict of the case, But, most of us do not have any knowledge about the facts or circumstances which led to that verdict. Talvar Movie tries to focus on that part. There are many sides of the truth. Truth can be modified. There is a very thin line which separates truth from fiction. Truth becomes fiction without lack of evidence, political pressure, and communal issues. In India, justice is not delivered with proper "Terms and Conditions". 
As far as the story is concerned, it is a gripping one. Nice editing and a superlative performance by Irrfan Khan are the icings on the cake. Irrfan Khan is funny as well as serious in the same moment. He has really developed as an actor. He did complete justice to his character. I can't even imagine the movie without him. Rest assured, you will never ever find a dull moment in the movie. Crisp editing is the key. No unnecessary melodrama, No unnecessary prolonged narration at all. As far as I know, the movie stayed true according to the actual course of events. 
Watch the movie for Irrfan Khan. How he deals with his inner demons as well as the demons of outer circle are a treat to watch. He is playing a no-nonsense character who believes in justice, who believes in crossing the line to discover the truth, who believes in supporting the truth, who believes in taking a stand against injustice. Does he succeed in his mission? Does he discover the truth? Is he successful in conquering his inner demons? Is he successful in solving the murder mystery? To know the answers, watch #TalvarThisFriday. Trust me, you will never regret watching this movie. This is one movie which will compel you to think about our society. Now I can proudly say that Bollywood is really shining!

Dreams Of Childhood!

Education of kids is the primary concern of Indian parents. Parents often focus on education of their kids and tend to ignore extracurricular activities as they want their kids to score maximum marks in each and every exam. Parents forget about the importance of extracurricular activities which develop the creativity and personality of kids. Extracurricular activities like painting, singing, dancing et cetera are very important for kids. Will it not be great if parents can encourage their kids to chase their passion with dedication? 
There should be a balance between studies and extracurricular activities/sports.

Comedy Hunt!

Stand-Up Comedy is the toughest job. Trust me, I am not telling a lie. Performing in front of a huge crowd always creates butterflies in your stomach. Sometimes, the crowd never appreciates your hard work. The crowd never laughs at your wittiest lines. Sometimes, the crowd boos you. Sometimes, you might be going through an emotional turmoil, Still, you have to stand on the stage, hide your own tears, perform and make others laugh. A job is a job. You have to accept the criticism and keep performing till the crowd accepts you as a good performer. 
Performing in pubs is never easy. People at pubs want to have a good time. People at pubs want to enjoy. People at pubs want to experience something new. In pubs, if the audience doesn't like your performance, then you will receive a lot of criticism. Never be afraid of the stage, Never think about the negative response of the crowd, Never let the success get into your head. Stand on the stage, take a deep breath, forget about the world and start performing to spread smiles all around. 
Live In Style is doing something good for stand-up comedians. Live In Style is supporting stand-up comedians.
