The Man Who Knew Too Much is a collection of eight short mystery stories which reminded me greatly of Chesterton's Father Brown stories, except these were not quite as good. I dislike mystery stories where the main character solves the mystery with the aid of a clue that the reader did not have access too. That was one of the reasons why I really like Chesterton's Father Brown mysteries, because if you pay close enough attention and think enough, you can come to the correct conclusion yourself before the answer is announced. Unfortunately, Chesterton does not write all of these stories in that way (though a few of the eight are), and it makes them not as much fun to read, though they are still very good. In terms of content, Chesterton does a fabulous job of bring up moral issues (for example, do we tell the public the truth about murder if it will be harmful to the public?) in these mysteries, and they really make you think. As always, Chesterton has also intersperced the stories with witty yet deep phrases which also make you think, and if you are an underliner you will find many things to underline. In conclusion, this is a good book, but if I were you, I'd read his Father Brown stories before I read these

Sadar udham is a misterpiece , where the authenticity of the era in history has been so well captured and illustrated through the medium of film and the acting and cinematography is exceptional which makes this movie stand alone amidst its contemporaries. This film hooked me in immediately as it engaged both my cerebral and emotional attention. I’m a second generation Pakistani, Hindustani, Indian born and bred in the UK. I grew up in the 70s in a mixed south Asian community. I recall being weened on Bollywood classics through my parents taking me to our local cinema which would screen the blockbusters of the time. I was fascinated by both the films and music scores. Being brought up bye lingual in Urdu/Hindi, Punjabi and English this film was a treat and sensation for me and no need for subtitles haha. On a serious note the strong undertones of this story based on non-fiction are a reminder lest we not forget the sacrifices which our forbearers endured and made in the name of freedom from the British Imperial Occupation and Tyranny of India lasting 200 years. This film reminds us of a period of history where we see the ugly side of human nature. What struck me while watching the film is how an occupying nation used the indigenous peoples of India to inflict oppression, horror and violence on their own people. It’s important that this kind of storey is told if only to raise awareness within our UK of certain history or histories which are not buried or selectively represented in main stream education.

This movie has depict an image of life in remote hamlets of tribal areas is all about through an intricate tapestry of music, dance and drama. Simple lives, meaningful rituals, drinking habits, food traditions and finally, their beliefs and reverence for their Gods are all shown through a narrative that is relatable to the masses so that the effect is supreme. The love story, quite practically shows that carnal desires are part of the emotion but nothing is cheap or crassly presented. Women have a strong voice and an important role to play in the film. They are not merely sidekicks. Human flaws are not hidden in the script but neither are they harped on. In fact, this realism and fine-tuning is what makes Kantara a sensorial and spiritual delight. If a cultural renaissance could be transcribed through cinema, Rishab Shetty has shown how that is to be done. Perhaps the audience has understood through this movie that it’s high time we recognize the good work happening in cinema and reclaim our roots through that powerful vocabulary.

your heart and emotions melt by John Green starts with a 16 years old dying lung cancer patient Hazel Grace met a young cancer survivor Augustus Waters at a Youth support group. Augustus has a painful secret and charming personality yet strong believes in seeing positivity in every single thing. They both fall in love with each other but are scared to admit. They both initially developed friendship and share common favorite author and book. They both share a trip to visit their favorite author hometown and their they admit their love for each other. Well things get heated up during their trip and they get to know each other lifetime scars. The boy escaping death scene is ironic as he is now afraid to leave his love behind but happy on spending last moments with her. The story end leaves a question mark on our minds as if Hazel dies due to cancer so the story ends ? Or her life ended with the death of her lover so the book is completed. I liked how the plot seems to be alive and at the same time breathtaking and heartbreaking. It isn’t the traditional love story as the author relates it with cancer and death. After every chapter, every romantic yet truthful dialogs you have to take a pause to process what’s going on? There’s so much happening that a person gets emotionally attach. For me its “candle in the wind” as hope is lightened yet fears play a great role. The romance shown in Augustus waters character and by calling HAZEL GRACE by her full name sets a new mind-blowing romantic line to which hazel falls without even noticing. The caring yet understandable qualities are in characters to which every teenager will fall. The author explained hazel’s view and to explain the end he used another story and book reference in his own novel which is both the main leads favorite book. The pain on the loved ones funeral by expressing them in words is so strong that can be felt by every reader. This book makes you laugh hard yet damping your eyes at the same time.

I'm rating this book 5 stars. It's the best science/mystery book ever read by me. It is written in a simple and precise manner. It was very simple and an easily understandable book for a teenager like me.It was Agatha Christie's great writing skills that made this book very exciting. Just after midnight,the Orient Express is stopped in its tracks due to a snowdrift. A passenger lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times. I liked the way how Hercule Poirot identified the killer(s) from a scornful and impatient array of foreigners. The story was very real and kept me guessing to the end. And finally at the end, when Hercule Poirot pointed out the points against the murderer, as there were many alibis that all were innocent, I was completely shocked and surprised by the way he did so.

The Real BEAST of the Season " A decade ago, the Kannada film industry was striving hard to make quality films to join the race with other South Indian films for a Pan India recognition. People who follow KGF from Part 1 have a huge expectation for this sequel and Director didn't disappoint the fans in Chapter 2. Quite a lot of detailing went into the script to bring out the true essence of KGF from Chapter one. Prashanth Neel will surely join the list of top directors in India. He deserves all praise and applause for his great work in the film. The storyline is quite simple but the way it was written and narrated makes the film stand out from other commercial films. The inclusion of Adheera and Ramika Sen adds value to the script. In my opinion, KGF Chapter 2 is one of the best commercial films made in Non-Linear format. The film travels back and forth with some interesting twists and turns to unfold the remaining story. Prasanth Neel outlined and sketched all the vital characters with a purpose. The theme of KGF is to glorify the heroic acts of Rocky Bhai but at the same time, each build-up sequence is carefully coined with emotional value. The audience erupts in theatres for all game-changing moments. Yash again proves that he is the best in business to perform a powerful role like Rocky. His screen presence with a rugged beard look and fearless attitude is precise for the build-up scenes. The introduction scene of Rocky in Chapter 2 is a treat to watch. The climax encounter with Adheera gives an adrenaline rush to the audience. There are quite a lot of goosebumps moments in the film and the best among all is the Police Station gunshot scene.
