Hunterrrrrr - Gulshan Devaiah Will Definitely Hunt You Down with His Scintillating and Titillating Performance!!!!!

I bet not many of you could claim to watch Gulshan Devaiah's Hunterrr starring also the ever-so-magnificent Radhika Apte. Like many of those great, misleading movies, it also gets categorized wrongly, an adult comedy (Thank your Gods and Indian Censor Board for at least calling it THAT) precisely whereas if you would ask me, I shall simply like to call it an 'adult drama'. It's undoubtedly hilarious in many parts but if a comedy makes you cringe in your guts, what would you call it? It also made me sad at various moments and then let me empathize with its lead characters in Radhika Apte, Gulshan and his friend Kshitij. Let me go one better: It's a very serious film that discusses the concept of perverseness and sexual mischievousness explicitly through its protagonist, Mandhar. Mandhar is a VASU, apparently a some type of sect that tries to hit on girls and women repeatedly without really committing to a long term relationship or letting itself fall in LOVE. Success ratio of VASU sect is outstanding considering what its representatives really do and our Mandhar is its undisputed champion for he is doing Vasugiri for last 15 years. The film depicts his life journey with utter convince and if I remove first 40 minutes of it, I found it extremely believable and engaging. Gulshan Devaiah, someone must do a story on this enormously talented actor. He literally sent a shiver to our spines with his first starring role in Anurag Kashyap's 'Shaitan' and here he is trying to break a glass ceiling that has confined him to being an art-house product and a serious actor. He is not portraying the life of a sex addict here. If you get slightest of this idea by watching Hunterr's trailer, you would be sadly mistaken. He goes on his sexual adventures alright or misadventures I would rather say but he never once shows a sign of mental digression. If you really want to witness the live of a sex addict, watch Steve McQueen's 'Shame' instead starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan. Our Mandhar finds love too in Radhika Apte and she has got a history of her own of many casual affairs but she has concealed one very deep scar too which I could not afford to reveal here. Ending of Hunterr is one of the most gladdening aspect of it for many Indian dramas start off brilliantly to only lose all their charms and steam later. Hunterr is one true omission of that increasingly frustrating and disappointing list. It's also one of the bravest films that one average Indian viewer could have his hand on for our much-maligned censor board blocks everything off and for that deviant behavior that lets Hunterr off its hook, Censor Board of India must be congratulated as well. What's more, Hunterr made money too on box office with its lowly budget of 6 crores. Better still, its director is coming up with a sequel titled 'Hunterr 2' with Gulshan and Radhika again headlining it. I must say I am one happy viewer after watching this most challenging of Indian Movies of year 2015. I am happier for I followed my instincts that started kicking me inside when I fell for its trailer and song: 'Chori-Chori, Teri Meri; Love Story, Chalne De' for the first time. Arijit Singh and Sona Mohapatra, how could I really thank you enough Guys?

A Monumental 30-years Wait for Premier League Title is Finally Over for Liverpool

Finally, yeah finally. Liverpool, my beloved lads in Reds conquered the England. 30 years. It's been a long wait but this title run was worth the wait..... From the bottlers of 2013-14 to the one point loser of 2018-19, to the Champions of 2019-20; it's been a remarkable story I am chasing after since 2004-05 and I have seem many come and go but Liverpool's RED stuck to me and Jurgen Klopp's mentality monsters just bulldozed their way through the English Premiere League title after 30 years in such a way that it seemed it was never ever far away from our grasp. Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur; look away now, guys.....this moment is ours to savour. There was a time when you laughed at us thinking how in hell Liverpool became 18 times champions of English Football bit this sweet 19th will remind you for a long, long time how we became 18-time English Champions at the first place. A huge shout-out to my man, Steven Ge...

Book Review: Unanswered

'Unanswered' is a book penned by Mr. Kunal Uniyal and it's his third book. I am calling it a book, using a common noun to describe it and I have a good enough reason for doing so. It's a book that consists off both poems and prose and I was in real dilemma picturing its prognosis in my mind. It started with a poem named 'You and I' and beautiful it was, all poised and lyrical. And then came a snippet of a prose by the name 'Life of a Yogi'. They were really not connected and I was perplexed. Then I allowed myself some comfort and decided to dig up some more. Some more beautiful poems and accompanying yet again not quite related passages of prose followed but now they looked more in shape and very much in order. Now I was beginning to realize that there was more to this book than met my eyes earlier and it's scope is much wider that what I originally thought. You are required to engage yourself with this book and once you do that, you will know you ar...

Two Faces of World Cricket: A Baffling Scenario

In months of March-April this year, ICC scheduled the World T-20 Qualifiers for associate teams in Ireland and Scotland. Two spots were reserved for 12 teams in World T-20 scheduled to be played in India in March 2016. Tricky scenario is that they will again have to participate in a qualifier event before the commencement of actual world cup where they will compete against the likes of Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. So you see how tough is their journey to the center arena of World Cricket. So in the aforementioned qualifier event, Nepal and Oman were competing in a match. I wanted to see the match live on Star Sports 1 which was the official broadcaster of this event. But I didn't get to see it for Star was supposedly broadcasting only 16 matches from the tournament. I was dumbfounded for I wanted to see the progress made by teams such as Papua New Guinea, Jersey, Oman, Namibia, Hong Kong, Nepal and many others first hand. But then again, some of my favorite teams qualified for the ma...
