They are the meanest creatures ever born on this planet. They are the pain in the arse of our Bollywood heroes and have some of the most badass lines; lines which make them immortal. Sometimes these villains are so badass that they own the movie, and the hero becomes just a mere character. Of course, in Bollywood terms and conditions, the hero always wins, but from the audience perspective, the hero might have won the battle, but lost the war. This post is my tribute to those 20 immortal villains that have graced the Bollywood silver screen. Some are straight out of comic strips, others are downright evil and mean, and the rest just tickle you and force you to roll down the corridor. It is such a shame though that these characters are more known as the Villains whereas they actually are the Heroes of the movies they were in. It was very hard to arrive at the final top 10 list, but you know, I am a genius of sorts when it comes to matters like these. No hurt feelings for those who couldn’t get through. Maybe you could be featured in the next list coming up shortly. Special mentions to the ones who just missed the list by an inch. ROLL THE DRUMS…….

20. Lotiya Pathan (Kiran Kumar) - Film: Tezaab
Achievements and Activities: Ganglord, kidnapper who doesn’t believe in Villain fashion. No white shoes, no furs and no underground camps. Downright street stuff with local goons and badass street fights. Started the first onscreen gang-war things of sorts.
Why is he on the list: In a movie which has Anil Kapoor playing the angry young man Munna, Madhuri Dixit dancing to ‘Ek Do Teen’ and the whole country dancing to it, if you can still remember the name of the villain, job well done!!!
Youtube Reference scene (click here) :- Lotiya Pathan is enraged at Munna getting punished for only a year.

19. Gulfaam Hassan (Naseeruddin Shah)-Film: Sarfarosh
Achievement and Activities: Ghazal Singer who playbacks Jagjit Singh’s vocals perfectly and carries out terrorist activites from his ancestral fort in Bahid, Rajasthan. Keyword: Mohajir.
Why is he on the list? He can pull out the ear of a child goat just because he broke a vase. He made the word “Gunaah” as one of the keywords for all mimicry artists who want to copy Naseeruddin Shah.
Youtube reference scene (click here):- The climax scene of Sarfarosh when Ajay Rathod’s plan dawns on Gulfam Hassan, but its too late. ….Read the rest of this Post ..JUMP..!! »

Deathnote-It’s my most favorite anime of all times. Coz, unlike others which fill up weeks after weeks with fillers and absolutely no movement in the characters for ages, Deathnote is a story told in 37 episodes. Each episode an epic. More about may be later, but here is a ball point pen sketch of Ryuk. Took me almost 3 hours to complete. Kinda amateurish, cos I am self-taught. Messed up in  a few portions, the apple (yeah, that’s an apple, no red pens sorry!), and the other hand’s fingers as well. And as it was a ball-pen sketch, so no editing whatsoever. But that’s the fun part actually. No turning back. Ok, I should just shut up, and let you guys judge me after all.

*******UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE *******

Yes, it is almost a year since I started this blog. My labour of love, my ramblings through the woods of uncertainty and often madness. This is where I have vented out some of the weirdest stuff that my brain could have ever imagined. In the process, my writing skills have been challenged, and I have tried to meet those challenges. I know I haven’t frequented this space for quite some time, so start things over, I am planning on doing a theme change for OKS. 

The main theme is going to remain as this one. This is called the German Newspaper Theme. It is simple, quite editable, and I like it. I have done away with the Silver Lexus theme, although I loved it. This will be an ongoing project until I am satisfied, so you might encounter some weird page when you hit the website URL. Just don’t get scared, and stay calm.Don’t panic, Uncle Sujoy will be back with help in just a mo!

Also, since this is an ongoing process of numerous trial and errors, I will keep you posted about the changes through this post. I know I am running a risk of my website having a shitty look for the next few days, but then, the ugly duckling always becomes the beautiful swan. Until we get to the perfect design, wish me luck on me mission! Cheers!

Update:~ Dec  14th.

The new blog theme is called Velocity, and it is available for free download on BlogOhBlog. ….Read the rest of this Post ..JUMP..!! »

In the voice of Mohd. Rafi from the movie C.I.D, when Johnny Walker sings, “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil Jeena Yaha, Zara Hatke, Zara Bachke, Ye Hai Bombay Meri Jaan”, never did anyone realise how these words would hold a whole different meaning on Nov 26th, 2008. Or is it? Has Mumbai or Bombay as we prefer to call it, witnessed too much that it can hold in its belly all these events and still carry on and on and on? Resilience and “Spirit of Mumbai”- are these words just to solace ourselves and are now turning out to be synonyms of lack of security, lack of facilities, and lack of proper administration and trying to come in terms with it. Is the ‘chalta hai’ attitude making us into ‘jalta hai’. I am writing this from the comfort of my secured room in Southampton, England. And I wonder what my friends working back in Mumbai are feeling right now. Do they feel safe, now that the 60 hour plus tussle is over? Or is it just the beginning of a series of sleepless nights? Paranoia, Panic and the sense of fear, and then trying to come in terms with it as life moves on and we all look forward to another day, facing the rush and hustle-bustle of the busy Mumbai. Braving the danger? Don’t think so. It is bread we need to earn and hence, work to attend. But amongst all these, scores of questions bother me. Can anyone answer me? Is anybody hearing?

1. Has the involvement of the international press in broadcasting this event as a terror attack of a similar magnitude as 9-11, brought the much-needed attention of issues in India? How much is too much? Is it the death-poll that decides if the news features in the headlines or in the ‘international section’ where they also discuss ‘the new Made in China fake iPhone’. Is it because a Rabbi was killed, and a Jewish center was held hostage that the world is taking notice? Or is it because of the supposedly Britons that are involved? ….Read the rest of this Post ..JUMP..!! »

Well, can you squeeze in a whole jukebox to a single CD? Forget compression technologies. I am talking about A.R.Rahman, arguably one of India’s greatest music composers. From Carnatic to Qawwali, Blues to Bhangra and from Bollywood to Broadway, Rahman has conquered all. From his first album Roja, which was released in the year 1992, to the latest Hindi Album released:- Ada, Mr.Rahman has indeed scaled new heights, invented and reinvented new sounds, broken borders of genres, and made a brand for himself.He has to his credit,the most recognisable ringtone of India (the Airtel ringtone) and above all, he features in the list of TIME magazine’s most influential Asians (alongside Freddie Mercury). Mr.Rahman deservingly stands at a position where many musical stalwarths envy to reach. And with every new composition, every new note, we get to experience a nano-portion of the musical genius, Rahman .And it has indeed taken me sleepless nights and intense brainstorming and repeated playing on my Winamp to compile this list of the Top 10 songs from A.R.Rahman’s ever expanding, self-challenging discography. It has been a strenuous and mind-numbing process and I know at the end of it, I have succeeded to narrow down to the Top 10. In many ways, some will totally agree with me on these 10. And some will totally disagree.
The rules are simple-
1.Only one song from one album [with one exception, I make the rules, I break them ].
2.Only Hindi soundtracks [I couldn't possibly go for the other languages in which Rahman composes. Although I would specially like to mention the Boys soundtrack which is in Tamil]
3.From Roja to Ada [I don't have a sneek peek into the future]
4.No remixes, no Bombay Dreams
Please let me know what did you think of this list. Do post your comments of your own favorites or your own additions at specific positions. Of course, you need not agree with me completely, but well, we Indians have never managed to reach a 100% consent ever. Anyway,so here we go.

10. Saathiya -Saathiya
Forget Rani Mukherjee. Don’t even mention Vivek who. Okay, we can applaud Shaad Ali’s compelling cinematography with the snow caped hills, the yellow fields, the glimmering sun and the gurgling water. But the real magic with this song is when you close your eyes, and in the ethereal sound of Sonu Nigam and lively lyrics of Gulzar, the words roll out-
Hastee Rahe Tu Hastee Rahe, Hayya Ki Laali Khilti Rahe
Zulf Ke Neeche Gardan Pe, Subah Shaam Khilti Rahe

and as the chorus builds in to-
Saathiya,mm…hmm..Saathiya , mm..hmm…Madhyam Madhyam Teri Geeli Hasee
Saathiya,mm…hmm..Saathiya , mm..hmm…Sunke Humne Saare Peeli Hasee

News Fart: Tushar Kapoor slaps Emraan Hashmi

Introduction: You thought news reporting was all about Horoscopes,Sex Scandals-Sting Operations, Khali, Startling facts about Salman vs SRK documentarues and yeah, the gut wrenching Crime shows. Hold on, I am taking News Reprting to another new level. Yes, the butt level, coz that is where the methane is. (Can anyone verify the composition of fart? ) This news section is called News Fart-news you would not find anywhere else, News that would stir your soul and make you turn into sleepless zombies and do the ‘Thriller’. Yes, it is that smelly and it is that tasty. Don’t blame me. It is ‘them’ (Aaj Tak, India TV, Star News,Zee News, News 24, IBN…the list goes on) who started it.

Yours faithfully,
Disturbed Soul.

FART: Tushar Kapoor slaps Emraan Hashmi
/* P.S. All incidents depicted here totally fake and are creations of a mental state brought by watching too much of Aaj Tak and K-serials, which is like…actually there is nothing that compares that. It is the lowest form of life on earth, ever discovered */
Growing under the shadow of Ekta Kapoor can be mentally strenous.Wait, is she his mother,or sister? (That is actually a question not based on Ekta’s looks,mind it!) Mentally strenous why? Because Ekta is the epitome of Indianness, she is the red color in the sindoor, the tulsi in theVirani courtyard, the kumkum on kumkum (no metaphors)-you get it. And going by that, if you go on to star in movies like Jeena Sirf Mere Liye,Kucch To Hai,Shart-the Challenge, Kya Love Story Hai et al. Could take a toll on your nerves. And well, when you have your arch rival showing his ’skills’ left, right,centre, what more do you expect one to do?

The Incident:
News just in from our correspondent at a Bollywood movie premiere recently, Tushar Kapoor was spotted landing his five fingers of his right hand on the cheek area of Emraan Hashmi. Due to bad lighting and the amount of the volume of Paparazzi circus present at the spot, it was not possible to determine whether it was at a velocity which would qualify the action as a SLAP. ….Read the rest of this Post ..JUMP..!! »
