Kehta Hai Dil Jee Le Zara
Another soap centered around relationships with an older girl, I think a trend for the same genre has started with the soap makers in India. I find it very disheartening that an actor of Ruslaan's caliber fails to get work and has to appear in bad films and now a soap of all things.
DV, once again saves the day when DV's father's henchmen are about to kick the owners of a bungalow out.
As DV said I fail to understand how can you go bankrupt when you have such a huge mansion, that too in Mumbai. It seems the same story of parents being against the marriage and yet he loves the older women is being repeated over and over again on Indian television. But as it yet in its early days (for a soap), it was still a tinge better than other soaps being aired now a days.
Direction: Bad.
Story/Screenplay: Average.
Acting: Both the leads are average.
Music: Average.
Overall a watchable episode (by soap standards), but not a good one.

Woody Allen while maintaining his one movie each year streak, manages to produce another of his cheeky humourish drama about human psychology. As much repetitive it might seem to his previous work, it's flaws and repetitiveness is completely foreshadowed by Cate Blanchett's best ever.
Jasmine (Cate Blanchett) is a proud ex-upper class lady, who after the loss of her wealth, moves in to her sister's place. Struggling to come in terms of her own past, she not only becomes a headache for those around her, but ruins herself also.
Just like all Woody Allen films, this film also has a 'stage drama' feel to it, with the protagonist being there from frame one to the last frame, and everyone else just coming and playing there part. As always Woody proves himself one of the best presenter of human psychology and mannerism, with this strong account of narcissism.
But what comes as a striking surprise from this low budgeted typical 'old classic drama' is Cate Blanchett's superb portrayal of Jasmine a egoistic lady. She certainly deserves the Oscar this year. It was also good to see Sally Hawkins' great rendering of Ginger. The story might be ordinary, but Woody with help from Cate and Sally, manages to produce to characters which will be remembered for long.
The film also has some good production design. The editing is also good and keeps the film more interesting with the parallel flashbacks, however, it might seem a little abrupt at times.
Direction: Nice.
Story/Screenplay: A typical Woody Allen stage drama with strong characters and a satire on human nature. Even though it is good, but I still feel the best writing nomination was a surprise, as his previous works are more or less the same.
Acting: Cate Blanchett will be a sure shot winner at The 86th Oscars, she totally surpasses Amy and Sandra's performances. Surprisingly, Sally was also great. Alec and others fit into their roles perfectly.
Music: Good background score with collage of 80's soundtrack accompanies by Conal Fowkes' "Blue Moon", a pleasure to the ears.
Overall a solely Cate Blanchett driven drama with some refreshing comedy, a good family film.

Nach Baliye
Season 6 saw many ups and downs, it had some good performances and a tough competition, yet the show went off track a lot of times, from frustrating comedy, judges' irritating gestures, to show off romances, it had it all. Fortunately, it didn't have a judges fallout episode.
All the jodis gather to celebrate the finale, along with Farhan and Vidya, with few special cameos from Manish Paul and Sunil Grover.
Unlike other episodes the finale had some good comic moments, particularly the Ankur and Raju ones, whereas, Sunil Grover was ineffective and boring. Dances on the other side weren't as good as they used to be when the competitors were competing for the trophy. The seriousness was missing. The judges' performances weren't catchy as well. Farhan and Vidya who were here to promote sequel of Pyar Ke side effects i.e. Shaadi ke side effects, left midway.
As the winners were decided totally on audiences vote, the 'winning jodi' was bound to win, however undeserving they might be.
Direction: Average.
Script/Story: Average.
Performances: Average, below potential. Judges were disappointing as well.
Music: Average.
Overall a time pass finale with undeserving winners.
