Oppari with Oprah

Hello ji, are you a celebrity or do you think that you are one? Have you met the Kannagi of the west, Oprah?  No? Don’t worry. Now arranging a meet might not be that easy, so are you good at photoshop or do you atleast know someone who can do the required imagery for you? Nevermind if you don’t, can you atleast find a gossip-hungry journalist? Find one & give him/her a sound-byte on how [...]

Lyrics are overrated

Dear readers, its high time we bring back nonsense bulletins to counter all the crap that is doled out in the name of prime time news. This is Munna Mobile bringing you the best of news you cannot use. Music has been an integral part of our cinema and has served as a narrative vehicle for characters to express their feelings. Over the years the poetic element has taken a backseat and songs in cinema [...]

Supremely Sublime Movies of 2011

There may not have been too many posts on the blog this year but that doesn’t mean that there haven’t been any bad movies this year. While other blogs/sites are compiling their lists of the best of the year, I’m here doing what I do best. You are wrong if you think I’m gonna list a few b-graders and get away, this list is for the duds that came out this year with large budgets, [...]

Review: Desi Boyz – Chitrangadha Singh is a wooomaaaan

I had begun to write a review for Desi Boyz even before I watched it. I just had to cross check if it was as I predicted and add some things that I missed. Well I hope I hadn’t watched it for what I had written earlier was far sweeter than what is about to follow. There was a horrible movie called Deuce Bigalow which later spawned an even horrible sequel. Looking back I feel [...]

Review: Rockstar – The travails of an ailing gal

This has not been a good year for Hindi cinema, with severely hyped duds or blockbusters that made us groan & shriek in disbelief for the moolah they raked in. Rockstar is backed by an awesome soundtrack by the maestro A.R.Rahman & sadly many can’t or refuse to see beyond that. There have been many movies that have featured brilliant compositions but rarely has that managed to hide the godawful monstrosity behind them. Rockstar is [...]

Fasting and very furious

Dear bhaktas and Dipusanth, I bring you this message with the hope that peace reigns across borders and the air we breathe is safe again. Who am I kidding, let’s just hope that India retains the test ranking and some random bollywood starlet doesn’t get into another smuggling/MMS scandal. Speaking of scandalous smugglers, how are Messrs Ramdev & Hazare? Last I heard, they were having a fasting cage match, where they fast for 45 days [...]

Cup jaye par kapde na jaye

Dear Sreesanth, ladies and gentlemen, this is Munna Mobile reporting from the Wankhede stadium with hours to go before the mother-in-law of all clashes goes underway & decides who the who lifts the world cup. Also I hope I’ve pleased fans of the Kochi Tusker who outraged over my salutation in the previous edition where we put him after men and women. The whole country is gripped with world cup fever and with India making [...]

This is Munna Mobile reporting from the lawns outside the Ministry of Environment and Forests(MoEF) where after copious amounts of filter coffee and ribbon pakodas, grim faces have emerged from an all staff meeting.

Shakuntala, Get a science textbook!

Bhaktas, This is your resident philosopher Baba Bangali bringing you this update from my cave in the Himalayas. I’ve been away on important business like spamming sites that anger the wise folks over at HJS. I’ve had to set aside my troll activities to focus on a matter of grave importance. This past week, a very disturbing article was brought to my notice and my sympathies are with the mentally unstable columnist. Afterall it isn’t [...]

Kamzor Kadi Kaun to decide Ind-Oz series

Junta, after our mildly successful expose about North Korea and Endhiran, we now bring you the latest developments from the cricketing scene. While the whole country is singing paeans to the historic series crushing victory and the nation’s favorite son scoring a double century while crossing 14,000 runs, we chose to focus on other issues. Afterall this is Munna Mobile bringing you news you cannot use and the only other to-do on our list is [...]
