तपना जरूरी है.....

तपना जरूरी है

पकने के लिए ...

चाहे...

इंसान हो

या फिर... माटी…

माटी

कच्ची रहे

तो

बह जाती है ..

इंसान

कच्चा रहे

तो

ढह जाता है..

बिना तपे या फिर

बिना पके

कहाँ चलता है

जिंदगी में..

अगर खरा होना है

तो,

दुखों का ताप ,

झेल कर

अनुभवों की भट्ठी में

तपना तो... पड़ेगा ही न ...

------------------------------------------------------------

I, too, shall have to endure opposition to myself, If ever my own hypocrisy is revealed to me.

Meeting myself one day, I shall say it clearly: I do not appreciate your interference in my life.

I was left ashamed before my own soul, yet even then, I did not offer—nor accept—my own apology.

I have no grounds for a complaint against the world, For my relationship with myself was through my own medium.

The world is not yet aware of the tragedy I've endured, And so, I offer condolences only to myself.

 मेरी मिट्टी से बहुत ख़ुश हैं , मेरे कूज़ा-गर

वैसा बन जाता हूँ "मैं" जैसा बनाते हैं मुझे...

Meri mitti se bahut khush hain, mere kuzaagar,

vaisa ban jaata hoon "main" jaisa banaate hain mujhe ...

kuzaagar-mitti se baratan banaanewala kumhaar

कूज़ा-गर= मिटटी से बर्तन बनानेवाला कुम्हार

Mardani 3 Movie review

 Released on January 30, 2026, Mardaani 3 has garnered mixed-to-positive reviews, currently holding an average critic rating of 3.5/5 stars. While Rani Mukerji’s performance is universally hailed as a powerhouse "star turn," the film’s narrative has faced some criticism for falling into predictable patterns in its second half.

Critic and Audience Sentiment

• The Positives: Critics from NDTV and Bollywood Hungama have praised Rani Mukerji for her "ferocious and emotionally razor-sharp" portrayal of Shivani Shivaji Roy. The first half is widely described as a taut, gripping thriller that successfully tackles the dark world of the beggar mafia and child trafficking.

• The Critiques: Some reviews, including those from The Hindu and The Indian Express, noted that the film "loses steam" after the interval. Critics pointed out that the plot shifts into a more generic "massy" grammar, with a late-stage foreign conspiracy angle that felt less grounded than the franchise's previous entries.

• Comparison: Many fans have compared the film's tone to Delhi Crime, noting its grim and realistic atmosphere, though some felt the villain in this installment (Amma, played by Mallika Prasad) didn't receive as much development as the antagonists in the first two films.

O Romeo movie review

The 2024 film "O Romeo" is a modern-day romantic drama that attempts to breathe new life into the classic "star-crossed lovers" trope. While it borrows its thematic DNA from Shakespeare, it swaps the balcony for the digital age, focusing on the complexities of love in a world of social media and cultural expectations.

Here is a breakdown of the film:

1. The Plot

The story follows Romeo, a charming but somewhat disillusioned young man, and his counterpart, who comes from a vastly different socio-economic background. Unlike the original tragedy, this film focuses more on the internal conflicts of the characters—dealing with parental pressure, career ambitions, and the "noise" of modern dating.

2. Performances

• The Lead Pair: The chemistry between the leads is the film's strongest asset. They manage to make the instant-connection trope feel earned rather than forced.

• Supporting Cast: The actors playing the parents provide a grounded, sometimes frustratingly realistic portrayal of traditional values clashing with modern desires.

3. Direction and Visuals

The director opts for a vibrant, almost "dream-like" color palette during the romantic sequences, which contrasts sharply with the muted, sterile tones of their professional lives.

• Pacing: The first half is a breezy romantic comedy.

• Tone Shift: The second half takes a sharper, more dramatic turn as the consequences of their choices catch up to them.

4. The Verdict

The Good:

• Fresh take on a very old story.

• Strong soundtrack that complements the emotional beats.

• Relatable dialogue that doesn't feel overly poetic or theatrical.

The Not-So-Good:

• Some subplots involving side characters feel underdeveloped.

• The ending has received mixed reactions; some find it poignant, while others feel it’s a bit abrupt.

---

Overall Rating: 3.5/5 It’s a solid watch if you enjoy contemporary romances that aren't afraid to get a little messy. It’s less about "death by poison" and more about the "death of expectations."
