Khatta Meetha movie review

When Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar join hands, you expect the cineplex to reverberate with laughter. Let's not forget, the team has regaled us with some terrific entertainers in the past. Naturally then, you expect Khatta Meetha to take the legacy forward.

Well no doubt that there goody comedy its worth watching. Movie plot is corruption in the society which is well know in the world of construction or to be specific GOVT CONTRACTORS(Rod's, bridges ....... etc) don the The climax is not good it can be better. I think where hero should be more aggressive at that point they framed comedy of NO use. Starting is too good.

Khatta Meetha raises a finger at the corruption in government establishments, but what it tries to say, or expose, has been witnessed over and over again. In fact, it's the writing - sorry, the absence of it - that makes matters worse. The beginning is good, the middle falters and the end is exasperating.

Struggling road construction contractor Sachin Tichkule (Akshay Kumar) is doomed. There is no chance that his dreams will ever come true, simply because he has no money to bribe. To make matters worse, the new Municipal Commissioner turns out to be his ex girlfriend (Trisha), who now hates him.

The film reveals the extent of corruption and bribery rampant in the system and the ingenious means you have to adopt if you want to survive in today's times.

Khatta Meetha attempts to say a lot many things in those two hours and forty minutes. Oh yes, its running time is a problem, more so because the narrative lacks the power to keep you hooked to the proceedings.

Okay, coming back to what I wanted to say, Khatta Meetha is more of a collage of isolated incidents encompassed in within its duration. The collapse of the bridge, the consequent murder of Tinnu Anand, the constant bickering in the house, the tu-tu-main-main between Akshay and Trisha, the sister's track, the corrupt netas and government babus, the payment issue of workers... several sequences are a repeat of what you watched barely minutes ago or an hour ago.

Priyadarshan's handling of the comic sequences is noteworthy especially in the first half of the film. The repair-and-paint sequence at Asrani's mansion is sure to bring the house down. Ditto for the conversation that Asrani has with multiple people, in person and also on phone. Also, the road roller sequence is a laugh-riot and prior to that Johny Lever's sequence of repairing the road roller is truly funny. But a few isolated sequences aren't enough. The veteran storyteller ought to know the importance of a watertight screenplay by now.

Finland - Land of lakes and jungles.

The first impression you get, looking out from the window of the plane, is that there are a lot of trees. An endless carpet of forest, with lakes in between. And a few small farms and small towns. So it's kind of a surprise when you land in Helsinki to find that the airport is so modern and efficient. Not a polar bear in sight.Aside from ice hockey, Formula drivers and mobile phones, Finland is perhaps best known for itse lakes, forests and archipelago. There are hundreds of thousands of islands and lakes, and the dream of every Finn is to have a little cottage on one of them., a place where he can take his shoes off, go fishing and heat up the sauna.

Total area 338.144 km² (130.558 sq. miles). Finland is the seventh largest country in Europe after Russia, Ukraine, France, Spain, Sweden and Germany

Maximum distances 1.157 km (719 miles) north to south, 542 km (336 miles) east to west

Land border with Sweden 614 km (381 miles), with Norway 736 km (457 miles) and with Russia 1,340 km (833 miles)

Length of coastline 4.600 km (2.859 miles), 1.100 km (684 miles) excluding inlets

Of the total area 10% is water, 69% forest, 8% cultivated land and 13% other

Other 188.000 lakes and 179.584 islands, 98.050 of which are in the lakes. Europe's largest archipelago lies off Finland's southwest coast, and the Åland Islands, an autonomous Swedish-speaking province of Finland, are part of this archipelago.

Time Zone

Time in Finland is 2 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The time difference between Eastern U.S. Standard Time and Finnish Standard Time is 7 hours. Daylight Saving Time (DST) is in effect during the winter as in the rest of the European Union. Finland is always one hour ahead of Central European Time (CET) and two hours ahead of time in the UK and Ireland. The 24-hour timetable is usually followed, so shop signs might read as follows, for example: 09.00-21.00 (meaning from nine to nine), or 07.00-19.00 (seven to seven).

Population 5.3 million
15,7 inhabitants per square kilometre
71% live in towns or urban areas, 33% in rural areas
principal cities: Helsinki (564,000), Espoo (235,000), Tampere (206,000), Vantaa (189,000), Turku (175,000) and Oulu (130,000)
about 1,25 million people live in the Helsinki metropolitan area
Finland has a Sami (Lapp) population of 8,700

Languages: Finland is officially bilingual: Finnish is the first language of 92%, and Swedish of 5.5% of the population. About 1,700 people in Lapland speak Sami (Lapp) languages.

Religion: Christianity reached Finland about 1000 years ago, more or less simultaneously from east and west. As a consequence, both the Evangelical-Lutheran and Orthodox churches still have the status of official religions. Some 82,4% of the population belong to the former and about 1% to the latter, and both faiths are protected under a constitution that guarantees freedom of religion.

Did you know Finland has:

5.3 million people
1.8 million saunas (approx 500 are traditional smoke saunas)
5.2 million mobile phones (Nokia is a Finnish brand)

188.000 lakes (accounts for 10% of the total area)

180.000 islands
475.000 summer cottages

203.000 reindeer
200.000 salmon

35 national parks

and...

1 Santa Claus - the real one!

Anger management

Anger is the root cause of all problems.Everyone knows this, but noone does anything about it.
Anger has a strange property of controlling the situation. The moment you get angry, the situation starts controlling you, rather than you controlling the situation.
For example, you are leaving for office and suddenly there is an unhappy incident. Now, do you get angry about the incident and spoil your day or try to forget the incident for the moment and go about your normal routine.

Often people repent for being angry. But then is anger controllable? Of course, it is. But, for that to happen,you need to define your limits of tolerance.

What is your limit of tolerence? Is it just the drop of a hat or a sight of a henious crime? At what point, do you think you should get angry. At what point could do you justify being angry?
If you could answer these questions, you have the solution for your problem.
