30 Days in September - Intensely Brilliant

By the time, you are done with the play; you will find some sort of shake in your brain. This terrific play will crawl into your mind and reawakens the bitter truths that can be found around in the same society we live in. Directed by Anup Baral, this play by Indian playwright Mahesh Dattani is adapted into Nepali by Aashant Sharma and Bal Bahadur Thapa.

It deals with the post traumatic stress disorder that Mala is suffering from because of the sexual abuse which she got by her own mama (uncle) during her vacation in September when she was 7 years old. Abuse continued every year and by when she was 13, she was used to it, moreover, she was willing to have sex more. This effect haunts her still at her thirty, society labeling her as characterless woman. Mala confronts her mother for why she did not prevent her from abuse but her mother always tells to forget the pain and prays to God, despite knowing the reality that Mala has faced. Deepak enters their life, and

Mala Limbu looks like Sofia Vergara!

I came across the photos of Mala Limbu from her debut movie One Way premiere. She looks smoking hot in that red outfit, no doubts! Oh wait, I then noticed something. My eyes are telling me that the new actress in K-town pretty much resembles the very famous actress Sofia Vergara, whom I know as Gloria, with her famous Colombian accent, from TV series Modern Family. Look at these women with killer-looks. Red-hot! What do you think?

Shamitabh - Ego Clash

Movie: Shamitabh

Director: R Balki

Starring: Amitabh Bachchan, Dhanush, Akshara Haasan

For me: **1/2 (out of 5 stars)

In one scene of the movie, Dhanush tells the media that it can even create hatred between one person’s face and his voice. Same is the major and basic plot of Shamitabh - face vs voice. Shamitabh is the story of a dumb man aspiring to be an actor and his life, from his childhood to his journey towards stardom to his rise and fall. It is the tale of how human ego arises on the surface creating conflict between two people and how it ruins each other.

Plot:

Daanish (Dhanush), a young dumb man, comes to Mumbai after his mother’s death, to pursue his dream of being actor. After some juggling between here and there in film studios and hiding in one vanity van, which he terms ‘five-star hotel’, he meets Akshara (Akshara Haasan), an assistant director.

Movie: Sambodhan

Director: Hemraj BC

In My Eyes: ** (out of 5 stars)

Oh yes, corruption is indeed the most challenging problem of Nepal in present scenario. Movie Sambodhan tells the fact that corruption lies somewhere within each one of us and in many daily doings, so the change must start from ourselves to eradicate corruption from its roots.

Plot:

Ramji Gole (Dayahang Rai), senior inspector is leading an investigative case of serial murder, which has taken place in a very similar manner – coins scattered over dead body.
