Agent Vinod : Movie Reveiw

Saif Ali Khan in Agent VinodMore Pics

Director: Sriram Raghavan
Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor

He tries to be a Bond-cum-Bourne kind of a secret agent. More than an intelligence officer, he comes across as an action hero - a Singham over a spy. More than clothes, he changes countries. He can open any door, barge any security, escape every attack and kill any person. He has instant access to database of spies and terrorists across the globe at his fingertips. He is the man - Agent Vinod.

All of that is acceptable as long as the intended espionage thriller has an inventive storyline. But after a world tour across half a dozen countries, the film culminates with a traditional climax where the Indian capital faces a nuclear-threat. The time bomb has to be detected, decoded and deactivated. The only novelty in the narrative is that our neighbouring country is not the perpetrator. It's not the terrorists but some elite business community who spread terror around the world so that they can gain out of the sudden stock market fluctuations across the world. Ludicrous as it may sound, this is the film - Agent Vinod.

Airtel’s 4G is Not coming on March 20th 2012

We are sorry to tell you that 4G is not coming to India tomorrow  there was a rumour in the Internt that Airtel will be launching 4G services in Kolkata on 20th March.

The news was also covered by a leading newspaper which took as a fire in the Indian internet space and Mass media.

As you know 3G was not so popular in India due to several factor ranging from pricing to handset availability coverage etc.

Experts believe that 4G tariff in India is going to be sky high when comparing with 3G all though its so premature to comment on the tariff prior any launch.

The main aim of 4G technology is to enable users with high speed mobile internet access, thus enabling several other features. Also other aim was to converge all the existing networks into one network.It’s truly going to be a technological evolution.
