ڈان

کافی عرصے بعد ہم نے بالی‌وڈ کی کوئی فلم دیکھی۔ یہ نئی ڈان ہے شاہ‌رخ خان والی۔ بالی‌وڈ کے سٹینڈرڈ کے حساب سے ٹھیک فلم ہے۔

Paths of Glory

An antiwar movie by Stanley Kubrick which shows the utter futility of the trench warfare in World War I, this is a great movie worth watching.

The Bourne Ultimatum

I have liked the Bourne trilogy since I read the books a long time ago. Finally I saw the last movie of the trilogy which, in my opinion, is the best movie of the series.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

The fifth movie in the series is shorter and better than the fourth with Voldemort’s return and a sombre mood at Hogwarts. The acting in this movie was also better than the earlier ones.

god is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

Christopher Hitchens is a good polemicist and it shows in his book. This is not a book presenting research or theological discussion, but it does present forceful arguments against religion and the religious.

Children of Men

It shows a dystopian future where humans have become infertile and then suddenly one woman is pregnant and everyone wants to use that for their own advantage. A good movie overall.

Spin

This is a book about the apocalypse, love, father-son conflict, ecology and the stars going out. Definitely one of the best science fiction novels written in recent times.

M

M is a classic crime thriller about a serial killer who murders children. I recommend it highly.

The Last Mughal: The Fall of a Dynasty: Delhi, 1857

This is a great book about Bahadur Shah Zafar, Delhi and the events of 1857. It makes everything come alive. If you are interested in Indian history, it’s a must read.

A Mighty Heart

This is a movie about the kidnapping and murder of journalist Daniel Pearl in Pakistan in 2002. I rate it 7/10.
