Hindi Poetry : मदमस्त जहाँ

मोहब्बत की हवाओं में, मदमस्त जहाँ हो गया,

नाम इस आशिक का , गुमनाम कहाँ खो गया ।

मशहूर था किसी दिल के शहर में, वो क्यों बदनाम हो गया

इश्क तो हवाओं में था कमबख्त मुझे ही जुकाम हो गया ।

कहते थे कभी लोग सभी, किस्से मेरी कहानी के

मुख्य उस कहानी का किरदार कहाँ खो गया।

मोहब्बत की हवाओं में, मदमस्त जहाँ हो गया,

नाम इस आशिक का , गुमनाम कहाँ खो गया ।




रुकते गये कदम  मेरे , मंजिल से दूर मैं हो गया,
कछुआ ज़माना निकला आगे, अहं में खरगोश मैं सो गया ।

अनमोल मेरे लफ्जों का जाने, मोल कहाँ वो खो गया ;
फैला जो फिर शोर हर तरफ, सहसा चुप मैं हो गया ।

हर भाव ज़माना देख रहा था, बिन आंसुओं के रो गया;
भीतर ही भीतर आंसू हर अरमान दिल से धो गया।

मोहब्बत की हवाओं में, मदमस्त जहाँ हो गया,

नाम इस आशिक का , गुमनाम कहाँ खो गया ।




छूट गया घर बार, आसमां छत नई अब हो गया
 मौत हसीना से मिलना था , पर जीने का न मोह गया।

तिरछी हर नजर हो गयी, ज़रा लीक से हटकर जो गया;
कचहरी लगी जो रिवाजों की , साबित गुनाहगार मैं हो गया ।

जिस दिल के टूटे ख्वाब कांच से, पत्थर का वो हो गया;
ये शख्स तो जिंदा है मगर, वो 'कलाकार' कहाँ सो गया ।

मोहब्बत की हवाओं में, मदमस्त जहाँ हो गया,

नाम इस आशिक का , गुमनाम कहाँ खो गया ।

धन्यवाद ।

Hindi poetry : वतन से इश्क

वतन से इश्क

आंधियों से हो भयभीत,
बिना दुखों के ही  ग़मगीन

क्यों डरते हो तूफानों से ,जरा एक फ़िक्र हटा कर तो देखो;

तुमसे हर तूफ़ान डरेगा, हिम्मत ज़रा जुटा कर तो देखो।

पस्त हो रहा होंसला
लगे हर इरादा खोंखला,
क्यों डरते हो ऊँचाइयों से , दिल से डर मिटा कर तो देखो;
ख़िदमत में आकाश झुकेगा , नज़र ज़रा उठा कर तो देखो।

हर तरफ परछाईयां है,
भीतर दिल के तनहाइयाँ है।
क्यों डूबे हो तन्हाईयों में , दुश्मन को दोस्त बना कर  तो देखो;
हर जात धर्म सब साथ चलेगा , ज़रा एक कदम बढ़ा कर तो देखो ।

हर सड़क बंद हर गली बंद
आये न कोई राह नज़र
क्यों जकड़ गये हो इस जाल में , सोया शेर जगा के तो देखो
 देने को रस्ता सागर सूखेगा , पाँव ज़रा भीगा कर तो देखो ।

फ़ैली नफरत हर ओर है
मारकाट का शोर है
संकुचित हुए हो इन जन्ज़ालो में , किसी से दिल मिला कर तो देखो;
हर तरफ प्यार का चमन मिलेगा, ज़रा एक फ़ूल खिला कर तो देखो ।

 मोहब्बत क्यों बदनाम है
सब आशिक क्यों गुमनाम हैं
हर तरफ प्यार की नदी बहेगी, दो बूँद ज़रा बहा कर तो देखो;

कहते हैं सब इश्क गुनाह है, ज़रा वतन से दिल लगा कर तो देखो ।

धन्यवाद ।
जय हिन्द ,
जय भारत ।

Hindi poetry : कभी कभी मेरे दिल में

कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ये ख्याल आता है
सोच के भंवर में इक बवाल आता है।
रग रग में है  समाया  जो ख़ुदा
वजूद पे उसी के सवाल आता है।


खौफ के अंधियारों में छुपा हुआ जहान है
क्या मिटट्टी तेरी ही नही ये, गर्भ तक जो लहूलुहान है;
क्या ऐसी बातों पे कभी न तेरा ध्यान जाता है ?
कभी कभी मेरे  दिल में ये ख्याल आता है।


समाज में रिवाज में क्यों  फंसी हुई ये जान है,
क्या बेटी तेरी ही नही वो लुटा रही जो मान है;
इस सोच से मन में इक अजब सा भूचाल आता है,
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ये ख्याल आता है।


तेरे नाम पे दुनिया लूट रहे क्या वो संत फ़कीर महान हैं,
पत्थर और सोने की मूरत क्या दोनों न एक समान हैं;
तेरे दर पे खड़ा होके ये सवाली  सवाल यही दोहराता है,
कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ये ख्याल आता है।


ये दुनिया भी अब अपनी खो चुकी पहचान है
जिंदगी खिलती थी  जहाँ  शहर वो अब वीरान है;
तू सोचे जिसे महान है
जिसपे इतना अभिमान है
ज़रा निगाह गौर से डाल ख़ुदा
वो बन गयी 'शमशान' है ।

क्यों क़व्वाली मातम की  सूफ़ी दिल ये गाता है
मैं ही क्या हर कोई अब तो यही हाल सुनाता है,

'कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ये ख्याल आता है।'


धन्यवाद।

A Wandering Thought

On a clueless journey with an aimless mind, searching for a word evolution from the hearts of my heart.

Gyrating around the streets of hollowness, descending upon the peak of emptiness; I am wittingly pretending to act like a maniac.

I am tucking the beauty out of this hoaxing world, smiling nature is giving winking reaction.
A little bit diffident, abashed on my action;
I want to apologize for showing this frivolity, for showing this coyness.


Is it a contingency or a sinister ! leading my aghast soul to a poignant legend; I never wished for the latter but it could be your own wish .

I don't ever fucking doubt these signs, but right now I can feel a rebel in me; Never minding the result whatever it could be.

I was crying without tear , I was dying without fear; now is this a fall or a climb up toward the sky;
I don't know my limts but it is a strategic try.

I feel no need to introduce myself, boasting all the shit which is far away from what I am actually.
I am free vibe , an aimless dart;
I am power packed, memorising art.
Ignoring all inpetitudes.......

I am nothing but a thought wandering in your heart.


Thanks for reading.

Movie Review : Wazir

Wazir is an intense thriller with predictable climax 

'Wazir'
U/A; Crime-Drama
Director: Bejoy Nambiar
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar, Aditi Rao Hydari, Neil Nitin Mukesh, John Abrahm

Pluses:

Impressive star cast and their performances , decent writing by Vidhu Vinod and Abhijit.

Minuses:.

Predictible climax, inconsistent editing, forced placing of songs, pathetic flashbacks, irritating background score, aimless direction 

Critic Rating :

3/5

Business Rating:

2/5 

Details:

Film has a complicated storyline, the film starts off with  introduction of the ATS officer Danish Ali (Farhan Akhtar), his wife Ruhaana (Aditi Rao Hydari) and their only child Noorie. One day, when Danish is out with his family, he spot a dreaded terrorist Rameez (Naseer Husain). What follows after that is a series of chase sequences, which results in the sudden death of the innocent Noorie. Completely shattered by the death of his child, a mentally disturbed Danish Ali lands up 'eliminating' Rameez, which results in him being suspended from his service. 

Stressed with this grief, one day, just as he is about to kill himself, there enters a chess champion named Panditji aka Omkar Nath Dhar (Amitabh Bachchan) in his life. He, then, teaches Danish the 'similarities' between the 'game of life' and the 'game of chess'. Gradually, the two become the best of buddies and start spending time over drinks and chess. One fine day, Panditji reveals to Danish that his daughter was murdered by the politician Yazaad Qureshi (Manav Kaul) and that he is waiting to take revenge for the same. Danish joins Panditji in his battle against Yazaad Qureshi. As days pass, Danish realizes that Yazaad Qureshi is not just a mere politician, but is more than what meets the eye. Just when Danish plans to eliminate Yazaad Qureshi, Panditji gets 'attacked' by a certain mysterious villain named 'Wazir' (Neil Nitin Mukesh). What happens towards the end is something that turns Danish Ali's world upside down. Who is the real 'Wazir', what happens to Panditji in the end, does Danish Ali become successful in eliminating Yazaad Qureshi is what forms the rest of the film

Performance

Amitabh Bachhan is phenomenal, farhan akhtar has again delivered an honest performance. Aditi Rao is decent in her act, John and Neil Nitin Mukesh are energetic in cameos.

As a director, Bejoy Nambiar has disappointed a bit after a reality drama like shaitan. 

Background score is irritating and album has no chartbuster hit. 

Editing is clueless.

Final verdict

Watch it for great performances by Amitabh and Farhan.

Movie Review : Katti Batti

 Movie Review : Katti Batti

Starcast : Kangana Ranaut , Imran Khan

Critic Rating 
2/5

Business Rating:

2.5/5

Pluses:

Couple of melody songs, Kangana Ranaut again delivers a superb performance, fresh lead pair , heart wrenching climax

Minuses:

routine storyline, Imran Khan lacks in confidence, too much manipulation in screenplay in 2nd half

Nikhil Advani has given some really big disappointments in last 10 years or so i.e. 'Salaam E Ishq', 'Chandani Chowk To China', 'Patiala House'. And now for some strange reasons he has got responsibility of re - launching career of his own and Imran Khan with best actress of current time Kangana Ranaut.

Rishi Kapoor plays a Mr Bhalla, who runs a bakery in a hill station called Kasol. He is never seen to be baking anything. All he does is to yell and shout at his wife, and sonny boy Inder (played by Supriya Pathak and Abhishek Bachchan, respectively). Why? That’s a mystery.

Ms Pathak is to be found in an ‘ashram’, looking vacantly about. Abhishek switches locations from a Bangkok poolside with bikinied babes to the winding roads of Kasol, where he encounters college-mate Nimmi (Asin, colourless) who has feelings for him. Why anyone would have a tender spot for someone as indifferent as Inder is an even bigger mystery.

Up pops a long-haired goon called Cheema who’s only job is to twirl a gun, and threaten people. Why the talented Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub took on this thankless part is a … yes, you got that. It’s a puzzle.

Plot? Non-existent. The jokes? Screamingly unfunny. Rishi Kapoor doing ‘su-su’, singing ‘aiyi-aiyi-aiyi’? Groan. When will grown men wanting to urinate stop becoming an acceptable gag in Bollywood? Can someone solve this? It’s always good to see Supriya Pathak, but when will someone come up with a substantial part for her?

Film has nothing new to offer. It is heavily inspired form '500 Days Of Summer' (few shots are photocopy) and then story takes some twists in last 30 minutes. Film takes off with shots of Maddy (Imran Khan) madly searching for his lady love Payal (Kangana Ranaut) and then few flashbacks, fall in love, rom -com and a couple of quirky dialogues and then there is a classic twist of romantic genre in the end - that's  the new Nikhil Advani film for you. One should not expect great or different things in this genre but having Kangana Ranaut as lead but focusing so much on Imran might be Aamir's choice but no one else is interested in this scenario. 

Performance

 Kangana Ranaut is simply outstanding as she looks funny in 1st half and intense in 2nd with equal ease. Imran Khan is still in 'Break Ke Baad' mode and fails to recover from few disasters in last couple of years. Vivan Bhatena and Nicole Faria make no headway in acting t. 

Film has decent screenplay but overall story is cliche plus ineffective dialogues are big minus . Film has sharp editing by Maahir Zaveri, a guy to watch out for. Music is average except one hit song 'Lip To Lip'. Cinematography is average and production design is perfect. 

 Director Nikhil Advani again falters and falters big time with such a poor and direction. He fails to extract performances from Imran Khan and continues to deliver half hearted shallow films. 

Final verdict

 This movie is overall below average 
and doesn't even deserve to be called as "one time watch".

Song lyrics : ki banu duniya da

Aaj Ranjhe kiraaye te le le ke heeran
Ishq-e-Di chadar kari jaan leeran
Hotel te bhele ch churi khawa ke
Ae majiyan charani kidhar ja rahi hai
Ae chad di jawani kidhar ja rahi hai
Ae husno deewani kidhar ja rahi hai

Ho Ghaghre vi gaye phulkariyan vi gaiyaan
Kaanna vich kokru te vaaliyan vi gaiyaan

Ho Ghaghre vi gaye phulkariyan vi gaiyan
Kaana vich kokru te vaaliyan vi gaiyan
Reshmi dupatte dore jaaliyan vi gayian
Ghunn vi gaye te ghund vaalian vi gayian
Chal paye valaiti baane

Ki banu Ho ki banu
O ki banu duniya da
Sache paatshah Waheguru jaane
