Been pretty bad with blogging this week - mostly technological issues. At work, things just kept failing for one reason or the other and had to fight fires. And then, just a fraction of a second before I wanted to back up the wife’s computer, it crashed. And oh, it crashed big time. It could not read the registry or something and I had to burn a Windows XP CD with SP2 and 6 hours later (2.45am!), it was back online.

Anyway, all that is not what this post is for.

On Tuesday we went to see a Hindi movie since it was a ‘Terrific Tuesday’ where all movies were $5. And this is the first time I have gone there on a Tuesday and man, there were SO MANY people! The line to get the ticket was reasonable, but we went for dinner in the restaurant next to the theater, and when we came out from dinner, we saw that the line was going all the way out on the sidewalk! Amazing. I have not seen such rush on weekends and here we were on Tuesday looking at so many people willing to watch a movie at 8pm, wait in line for it starting at 7pm!

We saw Paheli. It was quite a nice movie. Amol Palekar has done a good job. There were three or four moments in the movie where I thought I had found a hole, but just one or two scenes after that, the hole would get plugged. Good, clean, entertaining movie.

Rani Mukherjee looks good in the movie. And not surprisingly, Shah Rukh Khan delivers. This is “his” character. He does it well.

The music is good, and the colors in the movie are quite bright and make it pleasing to the eye.

Tuesday worth driving 15 miles for.
