The most entertaining movies in 2010

Peepli showcased the real India: the rural rot, the yawning rural-urban divide, the TRP-lusting media and the total insensitivity towards real people


Dabangg is pure chavanni chhap entertainment, easy to ridicule but the toughest to create

Each year Bollywood comes with dozen movies in the theatre but only few movies do better or average.  Directors come with different plots like multi starrer movies to non commercial movies. Some Movies manage to encapsulate all the right ingredients to create hit films which may even go on to become classic. Here the list of top three  films from Black Comedy Movie Peepli Live to full Masala Movie “Dabang” which left their remarks in Hindi film Cinema.

Peepli showcased the real India: the rural rot, the yawning rural-urban divide, the vote-bank politics, the out-of-sync bureaucracy, political class, the TRP-lusting media and the total insensitivity towards real people, real problems, and real solutions for a real India. 
Peepli live come out of the Amir Khan’s Production house. Anusha Rizavi has directed this movie very beautifully which leaves a hard core message to the society and Indian Media with comedy. This is a hard hitting satire about the state of farmer suicides in rural India. Only a couple of directors have the ability to take a well written script and churn it into prime time entertainment which not only sends a strong message but also manages to rake in good money at the box office. Peepli was the first Indian movie to make it to the Sundance film festival in USA. This movie has taken up two important issues, farmer’s suicide and how Indian Media especially electronic media is presenting these issues in front of the society. No star in this movie, which was also a great challenge for Anusha Rizvi but all actors acted superb and made it a hit at Box office. This Movie entertained and educated Indian Society, politics and Media as well.

“Munni Badnaam Huyi” rocked the dance floor and Salman Khan made noise as he released Dabang. Just like Wanted, Dabangg is an all-out Salman film, specifically tailored for the superstar and it has super hit written all over it. Salman Played Chulbul Robinhood Pandey, a cop in Uttar Pradesh who is Courageous but also has some negative means “quality the sometime good but mostly bad guy’, the right mix for our present times”. Dabang is shot and well produced; the scenes are constructed tightly even as the story telling has a larger than life grow to it, helped by the significant western style background score. Sonakshi Sinha looks sultry and makes a very assured debut.  Sonu Sood is quite good, while Arbaaz puts in a solid performance. Dabangg is pure chavanni chhap entertainment, easy to ridicule but the toughest to create. Before Dabangg hit screens the world was hooked to "Munni Badnaam Huyi" which is one of the hottest item songs on the scene.

Back with laughs, Arshad Warsi, , Ajay Devgan, Tusshar Kapoor, and ShreyasTalpade brought us the third installment of Golmaal. Golmaal 3 is an ideal fun ride with thrice the enjoyment and gratification, thrice the magic and thrice the hilarity. The movie has lot of twists and turns with each twist give you laughter and each turn gives you more laughter. Films don't often have sequels; the cast and crew of Golmaal were brave to create G 3. The risk was worth taking because Golmaal 3 earned great reviews and pulled in a huge crowd! The film was able to bring us new jokes and more star power as Bebo and Mithun joined in on the fun. In an industry where sequels rarely work, the Golmaal franchise seems to have struck gold with its formula of making sense out of nonsense. If Golmaal-l was sheer fun, the second in the series took a slight dip in terms of merriment. AndGolmaal 3 provided right graph of laughter meter. Golmaal Three done fantastically at Box Office and audience laughed at Rohan Shetty’s well directed movie.

These are three movies which includes laughter as well as serious message to the society. If we watch these movies, they are very different from each other but remarkable at their story telling. Movies are well written, directed and produced.

Govt proposes to create a biometric data base

    

People should be actively involved in the implementation, monitoring and social audit of the programme MGNREGA

Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on Wednesday said that the government proposes to create a biometric data base of all workers covered under its flagship MGNREGA scheme at a function held in New Delhi to mark five years of the launch of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act.

He showed apprehension over problems in implementation of MGNREGA in Naxal-affected areas. The Prime Minister also announced that the government will establish a technical unit, comprising a panchayat development officer and a junior engineer, in each gram panchayat."Priority is being given to Left-wing extremism affected districts, and districts where the annual MNREGA expenditure is above Rs 100 crore (Rs 1 billion)," Singh said.

The Prime Minister maintained that MGNREGA had generated 880 crore person days of work since its initiation. "The average person days of employment per household under MNREGA in the last financial year was 54 days," Singh said. He also noted that wages under MNREGA were now being expended through more than 10 crore bank and post office accounts.

He pointed out that the role of Right to Information Act is important in this regard. The Prime Minister added that the government also plans to formulate micro-plans at the village level with people`s participation to determine which works should be undertaken and where.

Addressing the function the National Advisory Council Chairperson Mrs.Sonia Gandhi expressed concern over shortcomings in implementation of MGNREGA scheme but put the obligation on the states to deal with them. She noted despite appointment of district level officers, the present system of hearing and solving complaints of the people is not fully satisfactory.

The government also plans to formulate micro-plans at the village level with people's participation to determine which works should be undertaken and where."The people should be actively involved in the implementation, monitoring and social audit of the programme," Singh said, adding the role of Panchayati Raj could be enhanced for this. The Prime Minister also expressed concern that millions of small and marginal farmers, especially in tribal areas, are being forced to work as MNREGA laborers because their lands are no longer productive enough to support their families."The real success of MNREGA will be achieved when it is able to address the 

circumstances that made the programme necessary in the first place," he said.
