How old are you ?

You might be close to 50 right ?

 

Why are you still leaning towards libtards ?

 

I sort of liked socialism/communism when I was in college , the day I got my first salary I became a capitalist

Not that old dude lol Everybody is liberal at some level. conservative at some level. Also there are certain areas that has to cater to entire public. Certain to hardworking people. You cannot compartmentalize people. Why do people come here? Because it is capitalistic country. But not all capitalism benefit people. Most definitely crony capitalism does not.   There are many things like roads are using public money. The money that foreign nations get as aid are public money. People have no say in this. Donor class have special privileges. You have to get the balance right.  You have social security. 100% capitalism is unsustainable. 90% of the people will find it difficult to survive.

That’s pure Bernie talk. Not that there’s anything wrong about it. Just noticing the inspiration

Not bernie talk. Because It is true. It is not a conspiracy theory like deep state. There is something called crony capitalism index. Russia tops the chart. India is somewhere in the top 10 as well. listen to the Jon Stewart podcast about money in politics.

Is it a prequel for the jackal? Worth watching? I liked the Bruce Willis movie

bruce willis oen is average. Watch the original one 1973 Edward Fox one. Real seat edge thriller. That guy acted as General Dyer in Gandhi movie. This one is a modern take. Original one was set up in the 60s.  This one is more current. Eddie Raymane is effortless as usual. But other cast members could have been better.  We have to see how it goes. First episode was thrilling enough.

Today, usually avoid theatres as it’s getting expensive. 
 

Do Patti - Don’t watch it and save time. Totally avoidable and unintentionally comic. attention to detail missing tha. Kajol played the investing officer, prosecutor and defense lawyer .  Khade khade chaprasi bhi ban jaati. Kahani ki mother-sister kar diye

Wish I had seen this post before watching it yesterday. But no regrets - very scenic; love to see that side of India.

If you like to watch scenic views of India, spend your evening on a documentary. Instead of such BollyTrash. 
 

This is about a river adjacent to  Sharavathi river (Uttara Kannada district)

Well, the intent was not to watch scenery. It was to enjoy what I thought it would be an uplifting legal thriller - underdog with no chance fighting rich influential people and somehow winning, proving that there is justice in the world! Jolly LLB type. But after watching, scenery was the only good I could really find

 

But thanks! I will enjoy that Sharavathi documentary.

It was laughable from a legal pov. No investigating officer can act as prosecution as it is a conflict of interest.
 

 

 

 

 

 

SPOLIER: 

Not that it matters , but  I Kajol proves that the husband was framed by the twins, but he will still end up in prison and nobody seemed to care about his 10 year sentence!! They should at least show him some concern in the end. I was screaming at my wife, WTF! Get his sentence reduced. Chu!!

Smile 2, 6/10, downgrade from first though the acting was top notch. 

 

Planning to watch Gladiator 2, Sabarmati Report, Amaran, Lucky Baskhar in next 1-2 weeks.
