the much hyped..

iPhone comes to india ... but at what cost ?


the all awaited iphone hits the indian market this august 22nd. the price for the phone has been decided to be 709 $ roughly equivalent to 31000 indian bucks. It is my conviction that i phone is highly overpriced for the features available and as per the indian market, price is one thing which is very important. Many players which provide high end phones like htc, o2 etc., have brought in exceptionally good mobile phones at reasonably low price and it seems like iphone will have to cut down its prices to compete with these players.

All this on one side, there are customers who are ready to invest more than what iphone deserves for the apple brand. apple has been satisfying it's customers and one thing they bank on is customer's brand loyalty. Will iphone gain it's loyalty in india ? ... only time shall answer the question.

why so serious?

The dark Knight unarguably one of the best movies i have ever seen on the big screen. Though the movie was very lengthy, to be precise 2 hours 32 minutes, never would anyone feel bored or let down. Though the story is about batman which is played by the talented Christian bale, It was the magnificent and dark role done by the joker( Heath Ledger) that has brought accolades to the movie. It is my strong conviction that Heath ledger will be awarded the posthumous academy award for his unparalleled performance in the movie. The movie is on rank 2 of the 250 best movies of all time on IMDB (Internet Movie database) only after shawshank redemption with a rating of 9.2.

The movie's storyline revolves around three main characters Batman, The joker and harvey dent, the district attorney of Gotham city played by Aaron Eckhart. The movie has excellent action sequences and mind boggling dialogs like " Why so serious ? " , " Do i look like a man with a plan?", " You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain". Maggie Gyllenhall has done equal justice to the role of Rachel Dawes which was played by the gorgeous Katie holmes in the previous batman movie , " The Batman Begins". The protean Morgan Freeman and Micheal Caine supported Christian Bale in his fight against crime in the movie.

All in all... I would rate 5 out of 5 for the movie which has unprecedented performances.
