Madras Cafe Movie Review

Madras Cafe Movie Review: Intellectually Scripted and Well Planned Assassination Plot by LTF

Cast: John Abraham, Nagris Fakhri and many more

Plot: It is a very new story in Bollywood which was never touched because of the political issues that are connected very close to soul of the movie. Vikram Singh (John Abraham) is a RAW agent in India deployed for a covert operation in Lanka which is in the dominance of Anna (Prabhakaran). Anna supports Tamil group and fights for them against Lankan Army. To bring peace in the Lanka, Indian Army was sent by PM to Lanka if not external forces can occupy Lanka with the help of Anna and can use that piece of land of illegal activities against India which was developing at rapid pace in that era. In mean process Indian army was attacked by LTF lead by Anna and many IA people are killed. Now Vikram goes to Lanka to make counter operation to Anna and its get misfire in this process he loses his wife as well because of secret agents who passes information from Indian Govt to Lanka. In revenge Vikram gets crucial info about Anna and was attacked. After the brutal attack of Indian Army on Anna, to seek revenge against us he joins hands with foreign forces to attack Indian Ex Pm. Who is Anna? To whom he attacks? What happens to the attacked person? What John Abraham did while the assassination is planned against our ex PM? What happens is to be watched at Big Screen.

Plus Points: Any kind of movie whether its small or big needs a well bound script which is available here and indeed lots of research would be went through before coming up with this kind of movies. John Abhram was perfect for the role. Nagris Fakhri has some portion but did her justice. Best cinematography i have seen in recent past movies where the civil war episodes are very well shot.  Movie ends with tragedy but the fact is; we will get to know that we have miss used our RAW information and could not save a VVIP from assassination.

Negative Points: Back ground was not sinking with the movie which would have been better. Post interval movie was dragged a bit which would have been easily had a cut in editing. Not a regular commercial movie which misses comedy, drama, love, songs and lot more in it.


Verdict: Well Scripted, Intelligently narrated, well sound and highly appreciated story which makes the movie must watch from my view. It was never touched area in bollywood, Probably Mani Rathnam in a movie touched about LTTE and civil war which is different here. Commercial movie lover please skip this and who wants to see something new please book your tickets in near by screen today.

Best Sleeping Positions and Direction

              In my current blog i want to address the direction in which a person or child need to sleep as per Indian Vasthu and also about most sleeping positions by a common men/women/child.

Directions:


        The direction of the head while sleeping is given great importance in Indian Vastu. The prescriptions are as follows.
                   1. Adults should sleep with the head towards South or East 
                   2. Children should sleep with their head towards East 
                   3. Guests are allowed to sleep with their head towards the West. 
                   4. Sleeping with the head towards the North direction is totally prohibited as per Indian Vasthu.

Sleeping in the wrong direction can also cause health problems. Vasthu Sastra recommends that the head must be placed towards the east for undisturbed sleep. The second best sleeping direction is with the head towards the west, the third choice is south.

Directions and its implications:


North:  The Vasthu sleeping position with head in the North direction is strongly opposed. It might cause major illnesses and sleepless nights for the person sleeping in such a position.
South: Indian Vasthu highly recommends this direction as your usual sleeping position with head towards the South. This is believed to provide sound sleep and increase the wealth and prosperity in the household.

East: Sleeping with head resting in the East enhances memory, health and spiritual inclination. It is usually advised by Vasthu Shastra Consultants to plan the children's room in such a way that their Vastu sleeping direction comes out to be east. This leads to higher concentration and retention power.
West: This is not a very advisable sleeping position. Vaastu Shastra says sleeping with head resting in West might cause disturbed sleep due to nightmares, some major illness and tendency towards violence. 

Sleeping Positions:

There are 6 common sleeping positions, namely:

1. Fetus

2. Log
3. Yearner

4. Soldier 
5. Freefaller
6. Starfish 



"The Fetus" is the most common position, with the sleeper lying curled up on their side. It is said to reflect someone with a tough exterior shell but a soft, sensitive core. 

"The Log" position is that of someone lying on their side with their arms down. "Log" sleepers are sociable and outgoing, but gullible.

"The Yearner" sleeps on their side as well, but with their arms stretched out in front of them. This positions tends to reflect a cynical straight shooter: someone who is hesitant to commit or trust but once they do, they're all in and mean business.

"The Soldier" position is on the back with the hands at the side. This is a common one for more reserved, less dramatic folks.

"The Starfish" is the least common position, but when you find a "Starfish" sleeper, hang onto them! This position is associated with people who are selfless, generous, humble individuals.

Conclusion: Always sleep by keeping your face towards south and legs in North and always try to sleep in Starfish position which is very rare among us.
