Things I liked:
1. $100 bet between by the goon on Omkara.
Omkara defeats the goon and tells "You bet on horses, not on lions".
2. (Pure Evil) The words by Dolly's father to Omkara to corrupt his mind. (If she can betray her father, whats the proof that she will be loyal to you?)
3. The way Langda tries hard to hide his disappointment and smile on the appointment of Keshu as bahubali.
4. The shot of Langda breaking the mirror in his house.
5. Langda to Keshu: Hum chote logon ki khuchli pe bhi thoda dyan dijiye huzoor.
6. Omkara's joke on marriage just after Bhaisaab's 25th anniversary marriage joke.
7. Omkara to Dolly: Hum mein kuch kami thee kya?
8. Langda telling Raju that they are both fucked up, he because of Keshu's promotion and Raju because of Dolly's marriage to Omkara.
9. Langda telling Raju "Koodo MC" when he is trying emotional blackmail with him saying "I will really jump into the water".
Things I didnt like:
1. Langda's killing in the end. Why? I dont understand why Indu got so angry? Why would she kill her husband, father of her children over Dolly who she has known hardly for 2 months? Besides Langda kind of deserved that bahubali promotion more than Keshu. Even though Langda's actions cant be justified, he had a perfect excuse (which is the injustice meted out to him in the promotion of Keshu as bahubali) for his bad behavior. |

[After his first screen test] The studio guy told me, "Kid, you have no future in this business." I said, "Why?" He said, "When Tony Curtis first walked onscreen carrying a bag of groceries -- a bag of groceries! -- you took one look at him and said, 'THAT'S a movie star!'" I said, "Weren't you supposed to say, 'That's a grocery delivery boy?'" |

Why the name flawed genius?
I searched a lot for a proper name. I was even worried at some point that choosing flawed as name may affect my subconscious in a negative way. But after a lot of thought, I came to the conclusion that "flawed" is not a criticism but its just the way I describe myself from a third person's perspective. Any flaw becomes a negative when it makes me feel inferior and uncomfortable with myself. But when I accept flaw just for the reason that nobody is perfect and learn to live with it comfortably, it no longer becomes a flaw but just a part of my whole persona. In short, for me being flawed is not a flaw. (Ironic, isn't it?) Its just about me being imperfect just like everybody else. By that rationale everybody is flawed to me. And I still like a few people inspite of their flaws.
Probably "genius" also may not be self-complimentary thing but again just the way describe myself. May be. I didnt give it much thought.
PS: Thanks to Sweta for encouraging me to do this. |
