money counts.

saw the movie 'network' on pix today.showed the dirty world of the tv business.how ratings are everything,how it eats away any or all human values amid people.robert duval as the top producer and faye dunnaway as the ruthless programme exec who chops away people if they dont bring in the audience, are exemplary in their roles.no one can forget peter finch as the crazed news caster or william holden as the insecure tv anchorman who finds it difficult to balance a girlfriend and a family and finally ends up losing both.thirty years have passed since the movie was made and ironically nothing has changed in the world of media.it is as though there is no place for ethics.it is only money that is important.someone called me cynical the other day for making the same observation .sadly very similar thoughts were echoed by none other than sir mark tully in one of the functions that he recently graced.i guess everyone is caught on to the gravy train and nothing matters.who said this? money money money sweeter than honey!they knew the world for what its worth.tata.

sweet taste of love

coming back after a long time.saw the movie 'mungaru male'.i've always had a hindi film fixation subsequently have this ugh reaction to non hindi films(more fool me,i know).but i was pleasantly surprised with mungaru.it was good.please,i apologise if it sounds patronising.thats the last thing i intend.the hero is endearingly sincere.the heroine is passable of course.the music is enchanting and the locales mind blowing.there is an ache in his movie that is difficult to ignore.as a love story its not new but definitely refreshing in its presentation.all the world loves a lover, you cant help loving this guy.may we see more such romances on screen.adieu for now.
