The Other End of the Line

I was video hopping for songs on youtube when i found video from this movie. When i saw that.....i was so shocked that this movie was released in India and i didn't know anything about this movie. So i found more information on my favorite movie database IMDB.com. And then tried searching for the movie online.

So, why did i see this movie? Other than this movie has the beautiful Shriya Saran and Tara Sharma to offer in the cast but more than that......it is based on call center life, which is my most fav things now a days.

About the movie, it's a simple story or kind of a Cinderella story if you would say. The movie is based when the call center culture came to India and now they are providing all kind of services. Priya(Shriya) works at a call center for a bank in India and Granger (Jesse Metcalfe) has a account with the same bank. Priya, goes by the name of Jennifer David and pretending to be an American and faking the accent, is Granger's telebanker. Because of some unusual activity on the account, Priya and Granger come together and talk about different things. Priya aka Jennifer, says that she is based in San Fransisco and one Granger asks her to meet her in SF.

Priya, on other hand in India, is tied down by her parents by getting her engaged to a person she doesn't even love. Priya is dreamer and ready to take risks to achieve something. And that's when the twist comes in. She agrees to meet Granger in SF and leaves India to meet him for a trip of 5 days to US.......just to know if there is something between them. She reaches there and on the first day, she gets disappointed because Granger wouldn't even notice her around.
But there ways cross, eyes meet and with some supporting events, they become friends. But how would Priya tell that she is Jennifer David?? Priya ran away from home and now her parents flying to US to take her back.....what will happen there??? and will Granger will fall in Love with an Indian Girl?????

Though the story line is pretty much predicted but for people who love romantic movies ....this will be a treat. Two different cultures coming together is always a fun movie to watch.

Shriya Saran puts in a good performance and is pretty convincing in the movie. Jesse Metcalfe is pretty good with his good old contemporary American looks and also puts in a good performance. Do watch when both of them are together.....their chemistry really clicks. Other than that Anupam Kher has nothing to prove....he is a good actor and has portrayed the character of Indian father of young girl pretty well. Tara Sharma is also good with her chunks of footage given.

Over All...........the movie has a really nice feel. Yea, it is a chick flick..........but i know there are a lot of people who love romantic movies.

I'm rating it a 6 out of 10. Good movie, kind of chick flick.....romantic movie lovers will love this one.

English- Wordless Wednesday

Although, India has some 15 National Languages and some hundreds of other.....which we speak but are not recognized as the National Languages. Still people are going crazy to learn English. Its really tough for an Indian to survive or to get good job, if the person doesn't know English. People think other who don't know English are stupid and they don't deserve anything.

People who know English think they are from some other world and look down on the people who don't. It's hard for some people to learn English. I mean.....think of it....you have been brought up in an Hindi Speaking family......and suddenly after.....20 years .... you are asked to learn English....that to fluent and with an accent.

People are doing everything. They fake accent as if they are living in America, Australia, England or any major country and are here in India for some vacations. F***k you, fakers.

I used to work for a call center and yes, you may thinking that i used to fake my accent there but no, the good thing about that company or call center was that the people who were calling in knew they are calling in India.......and in a way both - the call and the receiver- will have to adjust to understand each other. This feature was like the best thing about there.

I'm an Indian and i too want equality for all no matter what region or state you come from or what language you speak.
