Bollywood version: Aurangzeb
It must have been an exciting experience for moviegoers to see the other face of his ego actor on the screen. But to make a dual role pivotal point in the film in 3D era, which is as familiar with it as it is with a tub of popcorn, requires either reverse cliches or mind-blowing story. Unfortunately, does not provide Aurangzeb.
Instead, the debutant director Atul Sabharwal invest a lot of time and a lot of the characters in the construction of intrigue through the first half. In the second group, the story meanders burdened and come away even sputter characters with several gunshot wounds, cough and die after suggesting the absence of a remarkable instinct for survival.

The setting is the jungle of real estate in Gurgaon. A family of corrupt police officers wanted to shoot down a family of gangsters who are in collusion with politicians and builders. Something you would not believe. So come last conducted discreetly to the fore and brings a coincidence is unlikely - and gangs (Jackie Shroff), son of Yashwar-fat, Ajay, Vishal look alike (both Arjun Kapoor).



Title of the film may have led you to expect Machiavellian protagonist etched delicious. Instead, the central character suffers from cliches - of character and circumstance - and lose unpredictable. Arjun, however, holds his own. Never felt, was a monument although of (excuses the script only one like him to visit the salon), and boy can emote. That his two characters are not distinct enrollment is more in the script enough, and less to him.

Character that rises beyond expectations is that of DCP Ravikant (Rishi Kapoor). Kapoor is the choice of performers, playing top cop without hesitation self-serving.

In a typical gesture is unfortunate that the old school Bollywood, women have little or no voice. Swim in a bikini and gyrate to seduce the hero and the audience, or play terrorists scheming house.

At the same time, characters die foolishly, and not before speaking dull and one-liners. At one point, trying to face Mexico in a room full of investors in the real estate sector to be serious, but it seems to caricature the nest. The film has that in common with a piece of debris. It continues until the bullets are gone. We do not hope to get

Lawyer said: Sreesanth has been mistakenly arrested,

New Delhi: Indian pacer and Rajasthan Royals player S Sreesanth was 'falsely or wrongly' arrested by the police, his lawyer said on Friday.

Speaking to reporters, said his lawyer, Deepak Prakash: "It was Sreesanth or falsely arrested by mistake they (Delhi Police) have got some misinformation or arrested by mistake."

He was arrested late Wednesday and accused of spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) points - Sreesanth and two of his colleagues Rajasthan Royals - Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila. Was addressed to a cricket player who triple and 11 bettors with fraud and criminal conspiracy.

According to the police, Chavan Friday broken down under interrogation and admitted his role in the scandal spot in the results of the matches. However, Prakash said was a confession, "has no value."

"They (the players) have to admit that before the court. Police can not say anything, it has no value at all," said Prakash.

"Anyway, Sreesanth is not recognized. Although his name has been involved, there is no issue with Sreesanth. He would fight it out.

"He is cooperating fully explained his innocence," said attorney more.

Counsel also mocked accusations of that Sreesanth use the towel for bettors signal, before the start for more than it runs will be abandoned, saying that the majority of players use towels because of the warm weather.

"It's a very unusual thing. Ninety percent of the players use towels. Match was at 04:00 ... there was a need for a towel," he said.

Barcelona, Bayern, and the slow death of tiki-taka

Following totaling beating Bayern Munich 7-0 and dished to Barcelona, ​​it's tempting to declare the end of Catalan dominance and the dawn of a new age of German. It's not that we have not seen this side lose before. In fact, in six consecutive semi-final Champions League Barcelona, ​​I've lost four times and once only really convinced. But despite their dubious record to some extent, and it was always clear that they were the best team in Europe, and one of them was the other teams to adapt and take extreme measures to win.

More than that: FC Barcelona blog works Barcelona Blaugranes Bayern Munich blog Bavarian Football
He was able to withstand losing to Inter Milan and Chelsea with their heads held high, knowing that it has taken a lot of luck and extreme measures to knock them out of the club. Not this time. Bayern steamrolled them two legs to set up all German final at Wembley Stadium (Borussia Dortmund concept was less convincing against Real Madrid, but won 4-3 on aggregate anyway). No side Jupp Heynckes' do not change their plan because they did not have to - they played the same way for football and this is what the German saw them set fire this year and use it to sweeping the Blaugrana.

This is the first real setback Barcelona was on the big stage since Pep Guardiola took over the reins in 2007. Although many in the football community discredit the idea that this represents the end of an era in the history of Barcelona, ​​this result clearly shatters the myth of their invincibility. To make matters worse, laced side are favorites to win the Champions League this year, which created a great way to achieve long-term success and is about to employ a very manager who fired the Catalans to such dizzying heights during the past decade.

This does not mean that Barcelona will not remain a force in Europe. They are a relatively rough season, but is still clearly one of the top sides in the continent. They can still dominate the league and they still have the likes of Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Cesc Fabregas and Lionel Messi in their primes. And they will regroup this summer - Barcelona is not particularly short on cash, after all - and we can probably expect that it will extend that run from the semi-finals for the next seven years.


But just accept that Barcelona will remain a good team and shrugging shoulders and one represents a failure to understand what happened over the intervention of this semi-final. In fact, it's a mistake Champions League this campaign the whole of Europe (and Chelsea and Inter defeated). Here is the truth: that the rest of the world is catching up to the tiki taka -. At least one of the elite sides already blown right past it.

It is important to remember that game tenure Barcelona is basically a crutch. It's designed to mitigate the fact that the Blaugrana defense is basically intact, allowing the side to play in a balanced fashion is almost ludicrously. And can understand all of the innovations Guardiola feet to the side in the light of minimizing opposition touches the ball, and when opponents Barcelona do not have the ball, they can not score goals.

Even Guardiola himself has admitted that Barcelona has had problems when they are not in possession of:

We played in the other half of the team as much as possible because I get worried when the ball is in my half. We are a terrible team without the ball so I want us to get him back as soon as possible, and I'd rather give up errors and the ball in their own half of our country.

It is realistic and reasonable, but Guardiola genius to sell it to his players - and football watchers around the world - in, where almost religious moral, tapping and then to include his ideas in the elegant self-club. When Xabi discusses a method Barcelona to play, and he does not even talk as much as his lessons in a delicious blend of intelligence and controlled manic enthusiasm. What began as a way to Barcelona to paper over the cracks and clear and turned into a cornerstone of how the team plays. The tail is wagging the dog now.

None of them can be a problem if the current incarnation of Barcelona did not have severe and obvious flaws. They are not easy to exploit, by any means, but they are easily spotted. Insisting on holding possession high up the pitch of trouble for the opponent's defenses, but also opens them to attend a counterattack.

Spent Bayern much of the second leg of Wednesday's game to take advantage of the tendency Dani Alves "to push up on the right wing, winning the ball through a combination of David Vitoria and Bastian Schweinsteiger and Franck Ribery and then use this triangle to break quickly to the gap that resulted. And the team Bavarians are not the only team that stung Barcelona counterattack focused on the wing. follows the phrase this recipe in 2010, did not Chelsea until last year, and it seemed to AC Milan to attack the space behind the change back to win 2-0 at the San Siro earlier in the this year.

But the problems with the defense, positioning, and even goalkeeper is not new, and they're usually not as severe as we saw in the semifinals. Carles Puyol and Javier Mascherano missed both legs of the tie, leaving the Blaugrana starting Gerard Pique and Marc Batra in the center of defense. In the second match was not Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba are available.

In previous years, those injuries and suspensions will not matter - Barcelona had beaten Bayern anyway. What has changed?

More than anything else, it seems as if it should have picked on the team and one of the keys to the Blaugrana in the game: a fitness center. In order to play high-pressure pattern Guardiola, implementation, and players had to be fit madly. Most teams simply can not match the intensity, and they want to go away from try prosecute Barcelona whenever they were on the ball. Which was most of the time.

In 2009, Barcelona was a great advantage in fitness, even when compared with teams from leagues became more physical, and explosive such as Chelsea and Manchester United. Against Bayern Munich over the past two weeks, I've looked exhausted. Germans were smooth. At the San Siro, where it looked as if Milan emerged Catalonians before going to a completely different strategy and breaks down at the Camp Nou, not wonderful hosts in energy conservation and forcing Barcelona to work harder than I used to move the ball.

Take something away from the tiki taka -: He changed football and supporters brought tremendous success over the past few years. But extremist philosophy, just like any quantum leap in the sport, the other parties have been working to catch up. Now this is what began to happen, and Barcelona are going to have to change with the times.

They can no longer afford to ignore the goalkeeper incompetent average defensive line. Once supported al-Qaeda, and will attack their game not have to serve a dual purpose, allowing them to play faster and take more risks. In short, Barcelona and almost going to have to move back toward a more prevalent method.

However, as it was a bit more forgiving, and the recognition of just how close came to Madrid to win the famous: "Nothing is insurmountable for a club with nine European Cups, which showed their heritage, so much heritage, yesterday."

Iron Man 3

Genre Action / Adventure, Science Fiction Running time 130 minutes director Shane Black Screen writer Drew Pearce, Shane Black actors Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Ben Kingsley, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle OFLC rating M Year 2013 English
If you should be selected from superheroes, I'll have Robert Downey Jr. in the wisecracking Tony Stark on Christian Bale growling Batman any day of the week. While the films show the respect for tradition Iron Man comic book, it also keeps the tone appropriately goofy, fondly mocking their hero - the billionaire inventor who flies around in a robot suit at a high level - God, vanity, arrogance and generally tampering.

Last year, the much-hyped Joss Whedon's superhero team-up The Avengers saw Tony gods battling an extra-dimensional monsters along with the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans). This probably represents the best that can be done at the present time in the range of form - basically, a talkative band comedy interspersed with bangs.

One might expect a similar level of disregard of Iron Man 3, directed and co-authored a talented vulgar postmodern Shane Black, who has been out of action since his inspired action comedy Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (also starring Downey Jr.) in 2005. He also found there and in other places, and one of the black sensitivities most recognizable in popular cinema - Part old-fashioned romantic, part Hollywood from the inside, part snickering 12-year-old boy.


Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man 3.
These qualities are present in Iron Man 3 to some extent, along with other black tics can be recognized (Christmas tunes, scenes of torture, and the unjustified use of the word "Ficus"). But the film is still a manufactured product rather than anything more personal. The Black rein love of the outrageous and profane for young viewers, and the action sequences are mostly routine, with little gained by 3D, the plot traces arc redemptive Overwamilliar of, where Tony must regain his humanity with the help of his friends.

Announcement
We learn early on, does not have a mind-blowing events of Avengers Tony deeply shocked and prone to panic attacks (a logical progression from Downey Jr. in wired'' schtick). At the same time, a new enemy appears in the form of jihad ethnically ambiguous, and Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), who puts the long-suffering Tony pal James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) in a hospital in the latest bomb.

For revenge, Tony calls unwise latest opponent to go one on one at the top of the cliff palace-cum-laboratory which is shared with the long-term sweetheart Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). For their part, are fed up with Tony Pepper depression and she's ready to be intrigued rival inventor Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), a former technology geek who restored himself as a corruption of companies along the lines of the 1980s with the treated hair back.

To solve the mystery that connects Aldrich with Mandarin, Tony has to go out on his own, at least as far away as Tennessee. However, the design of the script so he has always publicly God wounded narcissism, whether it's Jim, pepper, bodyguard Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), a child hero worship (Ty Simpkins) or simply computer Jarvis live (voiced by Paul Bettany ), which controls the high-tech weapons.

Even more than most films superhero, are constructed film Iron Man on the paradox of star charisma, which disappears almost whenever kicks working on computer-generated where once they are secure Tony in the suit, and he could be anyone (although an occasional close-ups of his face straining ). This explains why the verbal ironist Hyper like Downey Jr. is so perfect for the role: the sense that he is able to stand back from the story, the narrator works as an observer like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean saga.

To put it another way, Tony in his lawsuit gets to feel strong and secure at the same time, an infantile imagination We welcome winkingly for the post. Black knows exactly what to do and are willing to tell us this: In the final monologue, Tony explicitly refers to shield as a "cocoon". Of course, if he intends to really get rid of Technology him for self-protection, the series has to end - and if Downey Jr. wants to get out of the rut his lucrative private, he should try his kind where you are given artists a little more freedom.
