Donating Money Without Spending A Rupee

8 06 2007

Even if you don’t have a penny to your name, it’s still possible help your favorite causes. All that’s required of you is a simple click of a mouse. By visiting “free click” donation sites, you can give money to a charity by clicking a special button and viewing advertisers. Best of all, your donation won’t cost you a single rupee.
End Poverty
Most of the programs work in a similar way. You click a button (usually limited to one click per day) which will bring up a new page with a number of sponsored advertisement buttons. By simply looking at these advertisements, the advertisers make a small donation toward the cause. It’s that simple.

Although most charity sites don’t require a visit to the sponsor’s site, the charity sites encourage you to visit their sponsors for the simple reason that the more successful the advertising is for the sponsors, the more likely the advertisers will continue sponsoring the charity involved. There are also a few sites where the cause will earn even more money if you click through to the advertiser’s site.

Krrish Review

1 07 2006

Firstly let me inform you that I am not writing the usual review about the movie story, plot, characters,etc. If you are interested in that stuff please look elsewhere.

I just happened to watch Krrish with my friends yesterday. While the rest of my friends were busy making fun and laughing on the film’s SFX, I could not help but witness the hollywood influence on my friends mindset. I am in no way suggesting that the Krrish SFX are great. Infact they are nothing compared to Hollywood standards but the important thing we fail to see is the fast revolution occurring in Bollywood regarding film-making techniques. Directors like Rakesh Roshan are at the helm of this revolution. Slowly but surely we are witnessing a rapid change in the way Indian movies are made.

There was a time when a Hindi movies had a simple story woven around this premise (Hero/Heroine/Love/Parents against relationship/Emotions) and a little bit of dishoom-dishoom action thrown around and the Indian audiences would happily lap it up. But the current crop of movie-watchers are smart and want full value of their tickets worth.

I am bored of the tearjerkers Karan Johar and his clan makes. I bet many of you share my opinion. I don’t want to spend my hard earned money to go and cry in front of the silver screen.
Coming to back to Krrish, Trust me, there is no other ‘super’ star in Hindi film industry who can pull off the role of a superhero as convincingly as Hrithik has done. The actor has the right mix of brawns, youthful exuberance, grit and emotional vulnerability required for the role.  Watch him transform from the simple guy to Krrish. Coming to the SFX, although lacklustre by Hollywood standards, it is the best yet in Bollywood. Ching excels in the action work. There’s no attempt at realism whatsoever with sequences left deliberately cartoony but the stunts are very inventive and very fun. Hrithik has worked hard and it shows in the martial arts display scene. Ching has apparently gone on record saying that he was one of the very best non-martial artists that he has ever worked with.

One of the major highpoints of Krrish is its penultimate 40 minutes. The fight between good and bad, noble versus immoral, virtuous versus corrupt has been depicted in film after film. And if the fight between the two extremes is portrayed in the most convincing fashion, the viewer is bound to carry the film home and most importantly, return to the movieplex to watch the on-screen clash once again.

Krrish has set and example of progressive cinema that breaks the image of a usual stereotype.

Some excerpts from leading newspapers and websites (American):

1)L.A. Weekly:

GO KRRISH In Krrish, the young Bollywood superstar Hrithek Roshan — a hunk with a perfect profile — plays the Indian subcontinent’s first true superhero. Roshan is light on his feet in the requisite dance numbers and thoroughly convincing in the martial-arts and “wire fu” routines devised by Hong Kong’s Tony Ching Siu-tung (House of Flying Daggers), but his greatest asset as a masked marvel turns out to be his infectious grin, which inoculates the movie against solemn foolishness. Krrish is hearty pulp cinema that really sticks to your ribs.

2)Hollywood Reporter

As with most Bollywood movies, Rakesh Roshan’s “Krrish” covers all bases. The three and-a-half-hour epic features romance and drama for female viewers, action and intrigue for the men and comedy for everyone. Action sequences, directed by celebrated Hong Kong action choreographer (and director) Ching Siu-tung, who choreographed “Hero” and “House of Flying Daggers,” are fun to watch. One extended chase has Krrish springing across a complete city like a cat and then swimming a whole ocean like a fish. Coupled with some effective special effects, it’s impressive looking stuff.
