Difference between Asin & Katrina?


About Asin:
This is the reality,  give "1 crore rupees" to Asin for a movie & she will act for "6 crore rupees" worth. If you do not believe this, please do watch the bollywood movie "Ready"!
If you think Bollywood is where she over acts or reacts, then my friends, you are wrong - You should see some of her South Indian movies(Kollywood(tamil) & Tollywood(telugu)) because you are really missing out on some of the over the top acting skills that she employs to woo the audience. The other day, I was discussing this with a Tamil friend of mine. He just shut me down saying "she is so beautiful & when she over reacts you have to see her eyes rolling like a naughty kid's reaction & as long as she is pretty and chirpy I will watch her movies". I thought, oh boy! No point in talking to this maverick.

I get eye sore watching her on TV & always wonder 'when will she stop reacting unnecessarily?'
Also please watch this 9 seconds clip to get a gist of what i'm talking about, I really want to bang my head on to something.

About Katrina:
Give her "6 crore rupees" & she acts only for "60 rupees" worth! & walks away with maximum accolades for not acting at all and if you observe, most of the movie critics love her & give the readers an instant shock by saying Katrina Kaif has acted well in the movie and somehow you believe that & buy a 500 bucks worth ticket & wait until the movie ends to see if she ever tries to act, to our dismay she never does. And here again, I was discussing with a North Indian friend on this & all he said was, "Man, she is damn hot. By the by, why the hell do you expect her to act? As long as she is in every frame of the movie looking pretty we guys are fine".  What to do with this maverick now!!
It is like saying, I'm a surgeon but I don't know how to operate. Holy Cow!

Conclusion(rather, My conclusion):
Here is my personal choice, instead of scouting for the two extremes portrayed above, I would vouch for 'Anushka Sharma', a balanced actress who can act well, dance well, look super hot, pretty & confident. Besides, she chooses her role with care where there is scope to act. I like her! By the by, the only saving grace to me in the movie "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" was Anushka Sharma, otherwise the movie was BS.

Also, out of the established actresses, I would vouch for the following two:
1)Vidya Balan - I don't think anybody else can do justice to her role in "Paa", marvelous! This is called as acting to the T. A big bow to Vidya!!

2)Konkana Sen Sharma - Try to squeeze in any other actress in "Wake up Sid", probably not! - Konkana nailed the role. Poor female, never got her dues in Bollywood. A quick suggestion, do watch "Mr & Mrs Iyer" & see for yourself as to how she pulled off a Tamil girl character with panache. Now that is class act!!

Oh, I like Deepika Padukone too!!
As a movie buff, this is my personal view, not meant to hurt anybody. Leave a comment if you agree or even if you disagree!! I would love to read your views!

    Very true... I hate both those ladies' acting skills.. Esp Asin.. Very very melodramatic acting.. Me & my sis will feel like hitting her.. But try arguing that to guys... They will brand u as 'Typical female type.. U ppl are so jealous of them'..
    And with Kat.. No emotions at all.. But I love her 'Chikni Chameli' dance.. Feel like no one else can shake the hips like her !!

      True Chitz, every time the argument is with a girl, we are always right but when it is with a guy my god, they brand us "J" :-)
      About hip shake, you should see the dance moves of Koena Mitra(yes long back! She did some alteration to her nose that now she looks pathetic, but she had very good dance moves back then & she used to be fit as a fiddle)

      Thanks Nilu!!
      I know everybody loves to argue on this!! And I'm not a fan of both these actresses, I think that is pretty evident from my post.
      Yeah, when I was penning down this post, I myself could not stop laughing on how much I criticize ;-)
      Priyanka is actually good choice too!!!

    I think Bollywood now became an industry where the leading ladies crown for who exposed better.... Kat Anushka, Kareena, Kangana,deepika are rated because they expose more... But see Aish, Priyanka, Vidya and Asin trying to act rather expose.... They should see the films of Sridevi, Kajol & Madhuri to learn what is acting...

    I'm from Tamil Nadu and Asin really never impressed me. She acted so over the top and got on my nerves.

    And Katrina... sigh... She can stay for Advertisements like the Mango juice. I want to see actresses in movies not just pretty faces, though I like Madhubala or Kajol in terms of appearances and acting. :P

RIP 'Google Reader' and what next?

We all know ' Google Reader ' would shut it's service down on the 1st of July this year. If you are not aware, then try logging into Reader, you get a popup reminder like the one shown in the picture below. There are so many people, who logs into Reader as the first thing in the morning than logging into their own blogs, for them this shut down means letting go of a helping hand. And the worst thing is, there are umpteen number of alternatives available in the market for free, so which one to choose? To be honest with you, there are pluses and minuses in each and every product. But there are 2 Reader alternatives which come close to Google Reader and that is Feedly and Digg ! I'm somehow inclined to try  Feedly , so here I have jotted down some basic information to get started. If you already are using some other alternative, good for you! - You don't have to read further, coz this post is only about Feedly! Ok, So why do you think Google is shutting down the Reade

What NOT to do with Social Media!

“What happens in 'Vegas' stays in 'Vegas'; what happens on 'Twitter' stays on 'Google' forever!” -  Jure Klepic Ever heard this quote before? Although, the quote is sarcastic, isn't it scary? For the past one week, we have been hearing news about NSA( National Security Agency ), PRISM( A Govt. program, where corporates are supposed to provide user's data shared in social media and call records to Govt. ) & several other Govt. agencies gathering personal data out of social media et al. Here comes the question: Why do NSA or Govt. spy on our personal information? What do they achieve, by doing this? A brief overview -> According to me, Govt. and the National Security agencies have always spied on the shared information available online. Only now, we are getting to know that our data is being monitored, thanks to a Whistle Blower named " Edward Snowden ". Why is this freaking people out?  Mainly because of over-sharing of personal

Google Glass - All that you might want to know!

Google showcased the concept of  " Google Glass " in 2012, but for the past couple of months people( 500 to 600 so far ) started using the Glass and have come up with mixed reviews, with the feedback slightly tilting towards the negative side. Well, it is just a beta version(a test version)! The good thing about Google is that, they have sold Glasses only to app developers, testers and couple more and not to general public. Google is open to feedback and ready to fix problems and make them fool proof, before selling them to general public. I have been following this topic for quite sometime now and have read nearly 100 articles on this. Hence, I'm more or less capable of imparting some knowledge gained theoretically and sharing the same here. Is it a computer, a tablet, a phone or what on earth is ' Google Glass' ? Google Glass is a head-mounted wearable technology(or a computer) that easily rests on your nose and ears very similar to a pair of glasses, only that
