Goodbye year 2008.

Today marks the end of this year. We can never see such year again, it’s gone and buried and we are looking forward to another year.
Some of us have been through turbulent times and some beautiful moments. Let’s put God first as we await a glorious year 2009.

La Ravancha

After their father's murder, young sisters Isabela and Soledad are separated. Isabela grows up in a world of luxury, provided for by her godfather, who adopted her; Soledad is raised by a woman she wrongly believes to be her mother, and who was actually a witness to the girl's father's murder. To protect her, she ran away with the child and has brought her up in a humble but loving home. Both sisters grew up to become beautiful women, never suspecting that destiny will one day reunite them to fight for the love of the same man. He is the distinguished cardiologist Alejandro Arciniegas, whom Soledad met on the cruise ship where she works. From the very beginning, Alejandro and Soledad fell madly in love with each other, without giving a thought to their social differences.

For Soledad, he is the love of her life, but she will painfully discover that Alejandro is the son of the man who murdered her father. And furthermore, that she has a very strong rival: her unknown sister Isabela, who also happens to be in love with Alejandro. At the same time, Jose Luis Hernandez, a humble and hard-working young man becomes obsessed with the idea of winning Soledad's heart. Unfortunately for him, Soledad's love for Alejandro only grows, as does Isabela's jealousy - an uncontrollable jealousy that will ultimately unleash a terrible force of hate and passion.

I will post the summary for you to read very soon.

BAGHBAN

Starring
Amitabh Bachchan as Raj Malhotra
Hema Malini as Pooja
Salman Khan as Alok

There is a saying that parents take care of their children when they are young and growing up. But when the children step into responsible life, it is their turn to take care of their parents.

The movie tells the story of Raj Malhotra [Amitabh Bachchan], his wife Pooja [Hema Malini] and their four sons [Aman Verma, Samir Soni, Sahil Chadda, Nasir]. Raj has a flourishing job as an ICICI employee and his earnings are enough to keep the whole family going.

But Raj is in his old age and now wants to spend ample time with his wife. Even after 40 years of their marriage. Raj and Pooja are very much in love with each other. like a gardener, Raj has nursed his family of four children with the hope that one day he and his wife will have comfortable life.

But fate has something else in store for the couple. Raj takes premature retirement from his job to spend more time with his wife. The responsibility to take care of the couple now falls onto their sons.

But none of them are willing to do so, particularly when they realize that their father has no money left. So the Malhotra children come up with a solution – the father would live with the eldest [Aman], the mother with the second son [Samir]. And after six months, they would shift to the third and fourth sons [Sahil, Nasir].

Raj is not happy with the idea as it means separation from Pooja. It is only a matter of time when their children start ill-treating them.

This is when the couple’s adopted son Alok (Salman Khan) steps in. Even though he is not born of them, Alok loves Raj and Pooja like deities.

Time passes and one day, fortune turns in favor of Raj and Pooja. And that is when the greedy sons realize their mistakes and come back to their parents asking for forgiveness.

Baghban is rich in emotional drama that is likely to reduce a viewer to tears.

On the whole Baghban is a healthy family entertainer that takes a look at the lives of parents who are left in lurch in their old age to fend for themselves by their children.

Behind Closed Doors

Has anybody seen this Nollywood movie? Behind Closed Doors. It’s so interesting. A man (Richard Mofe Damijo) with six months to live offers to help his impotent brother (Desmond Elliot) to become a father. The wife (Stella Damasus Aboderin) agreed to be impregnated by the elder brother to her husband. The wife got pregnant, the husband became bitter about the situation and they now started having problems in their marriage. As a result of this, the wife (Stella Damascus) always goes back to the elder brother for comfort and along the line they became very fond of each other. The husband (Desmond Elliot) couldn’t take this anymore and made up his mind that he was going to kill his elder brother and his wife too.

I have seen part 1 & 2 and eagerly looking forward to part 3. It is a story written by Rose Ingbi. I just wonder when the part 3 is going to come out. It’s like its taking forever.

Lorenzo’s wife (La mujer de Lorenzo’s)

This telenovela has been on for too long and I wonder when it’s going to end. It was formally aired on Galaxy TV but now on MBI. MBI has not been consistent with this soap opera, and now only God knows what up with MBI station, it’s been off for a while. Anyway, let’s just wait and see what happens next.

Greetings

Today is Boxing Day and I hope you are all having a nice time. May God’s blessing be with each and every one?
Happy holiday.
