'The Last witch hunter' the recent Hollywood movie which was released on the 22/10/15 the movie stared Vin dieasal the american action star most of his film is just an average action films like xxx and Fast and furious and the chronicles of Riddick, the films story is not a regular stories of Hollywood, its starts from 14th century where a group of persons goes for a witch hunt and they are looking for the witch queen, the protagonist of the film kaulder was able to kill the witch queen with a lot of difficulties but in the process the witch queen cursed kaulder to live forever as a punishment, kaulder becomes immortal, now the film comes in the modern times where he is a fulltime witch hunter and work for the organisation name' Axe and cross', which is christian organisation who worked to maintain the truce between the witches and the humans, now kaulder is 800 years old and still young, he behaves just like xxx the story is many times seems like the story of xxx here xxx is not dealing Russians here kaulder is dealing with the witches, kaulder is supported by a Dolan's there are 36 Dolans in these 800 years and all of them served the klauder or you can say they helped Klauder in his mission, 36th Dolan said that he wants to retired soon and give his charge to the new Dolan, for the token of there respect and long relationship, but after this incident the 36th dolan was died, Klauder get the news of his death and he gone for the last rituals of the 36th Dolan where he find something is wrong, actually the Dolan was attacked and cursed by the witches who are trying to regenerate the witch queen once again, klauder and the 37th Dolan are trying to find out the way to take out the 36th Dolan out of his curse and bring him back to the life, in this process klauder in search of memory potion gone to a bar a witch bar open for the witches only by a witch named chole, she is a witch who can able to made magic memory potions chole is ready to help the klauder, klauder gone back to time in his memories where he saw his wife his daughter and the witch queen he saw the whole witchhunt but here some link is missing, klauder take chole with him and gone to meet her friends, when they entered her house they found her dead, now what? Klauder goes to another witch who suppose to help him to go back to his memories but she double cross him and give him a wrong potion which disillusioned him in some drem world where he get some unfavourable memories, here chole who is actually a dream walker helped klauder to come out of this danger and get rid of the band of witches, and kick there ass badly, after they come out of the club of the old witch klauder told chole that you are dream walker and a dream walker don't need any magic potion to regain the memory so she can help her, with some difficulty chole is ready to help him to know his secret, with the help of Chole Klauder gone to his past again and this time he saw that how his friends save him by not destroying the heart of the witch queen, the witch queen actually not cursed him to the immortal life it is like she saved her chances to regain her life again through Klauder, and now his loyal subjects are trying to raise her again from the sleep, klauder comes to present and tries to counter the witch queen but she gained the life and ready to spread the great plague in the Newyork city, the 36th Dolan is come to life again but not fully come out of the spell of the witches klauder come to discuss with him what to do, Dolan said fight her again last time only he can able to stop the witch queen, Kluder is ready to fight with the witch queen Chole also joined him and the 37th Dolan also come to help him, now they met once again in a confused state of fight which is poorly directed and picturised adn the whole matte in end looks very hodgepodge nothing is cleared as it should be cleared, in the end before climax the 37th Dolan ditched the klauder and revealed that he was actually a witch but without power, he helped the witch queen but she also not shown any curtsy to him and killed him because he don't have any magic power so he is of no use, klauder with all his experience and gadgets fight with the witch queen and killed her at last but her heart is still remains alive, now what? Klauder this time want to destroy the heart but it also means that he dies with the end of the heart of the witch queen, but chole stopped him and said that you should be living for me, ( love connection, in hollywood my god) Klauder also thought that its not worth to die so he choose to live, at the end Klauder and 36th Dolan is sitting at the bench and Klauder said he is leaving the society Axe and Cross because they are ditched him for 800 years and not revealed his truth to him, 36th Dolan said the Axe and Cross already dissolved now Klauder have to work without the society but he the 36th dolan is there to helped him as long as he alive, in the end Klauder and Chole are now together and forming a new team the heart of the witch queen is now preserved in the vault where Klauder kept his weapons. There are lots of flaws in the story, the camera work is not good the action is not even average, some areas of the story is really good, like the relationship of Klauder with his wife and daughter before 800 years they died, the story is just to much illogical, in the disclaimer the film producer said that we are favouring any superstition of witch practices, its a total work of fiction, the story of the film slow and the script is loose many places yet creates very meagre drama but effective drama the film is week in action is the most painful thing because you suppose to see a good action in Vin dieasels films, so in all area its a week film but yes it also a new thought, dealing with the witches in the modern times one thing good in this film that its a travelled in time sometimes it is in 14t century and sometime its in the present. I personally like one dialogue of the film where 37th Dolan said the world is now full of gadgets like Smartphones, internet the tracking the world is changed a and you have to adopt them, because the world is changed now, Klauder replied Yes BUT ONLY ON THE SURFACE you can watch the film for once just because of its unique theme if not new otherwise the film is below average film.

Ravan: Hero Of The Shaivas

Today is Dussehra and everyone is going to enjoy Dussehra today, in Dussehra we use to burn the effigy's of Ravan 'King of Demons' RakshashRaj Ravan the source of evil, at least people thought that he was an evil king cruel towards his subjects and doing all the works done by a villain in Hindi films, to burn Ravans effigy is to symbol of good is victorious over evil generally, at least this is what we have in our common perception that Ravan is a bad character of Hindu mythology but I have a different opinion on Ravan. As our own mythology said that Ravan was a great scholar he was a wise man he have the knowledge of all the Vedas shastras and the other holy scriptures of our religion he was son of Rishi Vishrva and grand son of the great sage Pulastya he was half brother of Yaksha Raaj Kuber he has gone thoruogh severe penance to get boons from Brahma and Lord Shiva, in fact he is considered as the one of the greatest worshiper of Lord Shiva, he offered his head ten time to lord Shiva he mastered in the art of Music, Tantra, science, and warfare he was a great military strategist and one of the best generals of his time he fought for his people for the betterment of them against Arayns he fought against the mighty Devas who generally seize the right of the Asuras, he fought against the discrimination against the Rakshasas by the Aryans and Devas he won many battles he won back lanka again from his half brother Kuber, he was a good administrator he always ensure that any devotee of lord Shiva should not be disturbed in his worship he was a great diplomat and best in political science and strategist he was a hero, as Shaiva I always admire him and inspired by him he always stood against wrong doing of the mighty Devas he never discriminates against anyone on the basis of his/her cast or creed his friends and relatives are from different sects like his daughter in law was a Naga, his sister in law was from Yakshas he done all the work which a good king should do, even he was misguided by his sister surpanakha to abduct Sita, Ravana had no choice to save the face of his family, he know very well that this act will definitely caused the end of his family but he also knew that Ram was a Avtaar of lord Vishnu its the only way that he and his family get the Moksha from this birth. Ravan relation with his brother Kumbhakaran is also great Kumbhkaran was also a great warrior Ravna has prematurely rise him from his sleep to fight against the Monkey forces led by Shri Ram than Kumbhkaran told him that oh great king of Lanka return Devi Sita to her husband lord Ram and ask him for truce, Ravan replied now its not possible, we come far ahead in this war that we can't stop it now, now pride of our family is at stake we have to end this war any way and I need your help brother will you not stand with me in this emergency our country is attacked by the intruders, outside this castle enemies armies is waiting for our death will you leave me in this situation? Kumbhakaran replied brother like a true soldier its my duty to fight for my country and king, I will fight for you till the last breath of mine but this time I am not able to ensure you about the victory like always, I try my level best but I don't have a chance before Lord Ram oh great king of lanka probably this is my last salute to you Brother, if I died in the war I get my liberty. Kumbhakarana died on the battle field after showing his gallant war dexterity he was martyred by the hands of Lord Ram, when the news of Martyrdom of his beloved brother come to Ravan he break down in tears he said these lines then 'Oh my dear Brother Kumbhakaran you left me like this in the time of emergency, oh brother you gone I feel like my right hand is cut from my body you are my strength, you are my pride you are pride of Lanka now the Lanka is orphaned today now who is going to protect us brother untill you are alive my hopes are alive you died with the hopes of my victory our victory, you leave me in the mid of this chaos brother today I became powerless you are my pride brother oh great soldier your country toady is orphaned'. These lines show how he loved his brother as a common man do to his brother how he showed his emotions for his best soldier and a younger brother together. After this incidence his eldest son Meghnad ask Ravan to go for the battle. Meghnad a master strategist and a master illusionist he was a skilled warrior and Tantric he was also have many supernatural abilities by which he can turn the war in there favor he prepared for the war but before that he was need to do a Yagya by which he was going to get some powers and by the help of that power he was suppose to become invincible, but his another uncle Vibhisan ditched the lankans and told the Ram led forces about the yagya and the secret place of the yagya the Vanars led by Lakshman get there and after a gallant fight Lakshman took his revenge the revenge which he wants to take from last birth( I narrate that story later) after that the mighty king of Lanka Great warrior Ravan comes himself to fight against the forces of vanars led by ShriRam and Sugriva after a gallant battle Ravana was get the martyrdom he deserved , when Ravan was lay down and defeated at the battle field Ram told to his brother Lakshman that Lakshman go to the great king of Lanka and ask his about the Politics and Diplomacy, lakshman first don't want to do that but when he was insisted by the Lord Ram he go and asked to Ravan oh king tell me what is politics and diplomacy Ravan keep mum and turned around his face arrogantly before doing that he said that go to your brother and asked that how a king should be treated and how disciple treats his guru ? Lakshman returned to his brother Lord Ram and said brother Ravan is still the same arrogant fellow he don't tell me anything and show attitude to me, Lord Ram than ask him where you stand when you ask him about the politics Lakshman replied infront of his head lord Ram than instructed that go to his feet and bow your head towards him and asked that oh great king of lanka please tell me what is politics and diplomacy is all about than Ravan gave the through lecture over the subject he told to Lakshaman that oh dear Lakshman don't repeat the mistakes I had done in my life, and he also said that war is never useful for anybody its always loss in the war no body wins in the wars there is always defeat in the war, at last he bowed to lord Hanuman the incarnation of lord Shiva and begs him for forgiveness that he was not able to recognize him he said to Lord Hanuman I leave my remaining family and my subjects to your hand lord look after them my duty is over lord and he left the world finally.Ravan throughout his life live like a hero and died like a hero is this the right way to treat a hero? When Lord Ram himself considered him as a hero and give a him a proper respect of a King and Martyr and arrange the funeral with full army honour and Royal honour for a king than why we disrespect him like this?, now the condition is this that Mrs Gandhi Manmoun Singh and other corrupt leaders are torched the effigy of Ravan, is this not his disrespect? Ghor Kalyug hai bhai.
