Happy days (Movie review)

If you ask any one who has completed his/her college, What are you best and most happiest days in your life? then the answer would definitely be - College days. This is the theme of the movie and the title is apt and sounds brilliant. Shekhar kammula always deals with the simple things yet which make their impression on life.

Casting :
Casting is good and fair. The charactes fitted into the groove nicely.

Story:
Sweet and simple. Life(Few of the chapters) in engineering college.
The first half deals with making new friends , seniors, ragging and freshers party which goes on in the first year of engineering.
The second half deals with love, jealously, envy, not to forget farewell party and ofcourse campus placements too.

Performances :
Though everyone looked naive in their appearances and their acting skills they fitted the bill nicely and did a decent job. They have become instant stars and their pics are famously dispayed in orkut nowadays. Everyone wants to be a chandu or tyson or rajesh or madhu or shravz or appu. My friend murali says he's Rajesh.hehehehe

Music :
Music director Mickey J Meyer has done a decent job. Even though few of the songs remind you of some other old songs, they are hippy, hummable and good.
The background music is netter comparatively to the music in the songs.

Screenplay, Dialogues:
Screenplay is just like a river. It flows smoothly throughtout the three hours.
Dialogues are in colloquical form and few of them really stand out.Good job done by Shekar Kammula again. Especially Tyson dialogues at times are touching.

Direction:
He who uses his actors skillfully is a good director and Shekhar kammula is the best example. Without him the movie would not have been same. He worked with many new comers in this movie but pulled off something out of nothing from them. He has done has great job.Hatts off!

Best thing:
Dint show any negatives and influences the audience in a right note for example no bunks and everybody studys well.

Climax:
Happy days has a happy ending.

Rating 4/5

5 career mistakes you should avoid


Choosing a career based on remuneration
Big mistake. If your main aim is just money, it may just be the start of the road downhill. True, the indisputable purpose of working is to earn and that of a good career is a continuous salary, but when you choose your career choose one based on your skill sets and not how much an industry pays. If you have an attitude that blatantly screams, "Show me the money!", the only tangible object you may soon see is the exit.

Working in too many places for too short a time
Sure, it's great to say you worked for the best companies, but that's only if you hold more than five or 10 years of experience. Organisations do not see any reason to employ drifters. And if you are drifting, my suggestion is to dock that raft and jump on the big boats.

Jumping industries
Photography, advertising, HR, sound. It's nice to see variety on any resume, but if an individual has no speciality, the uniqueness of employment is lost. No longer do people need someone who can do everything or knows more than what is needed.

The need of the hour is specialisation, the offering you make that not many can replicate. We are not machines, and our individuality is our USP. Constantly shifting industries only works is the area of expertise traverses industries.

Punctuality and regularity
Work is not about rebellion, you have to be on time, you have to adhere to the rules. You can bend rules, but breaking them leaves you with career stains that don't easily wash off. All offices demand this dedication, and if you make the mistake, and repeat it, the negative image will stick with you.

Arrogant, more arrogant, most arrogant!
The biggest, yes biggest mistake is arrogance. You may be good, but if you work for someone you have to learn to compromise. To be part of a team that runs with as few kinks as possible, you have to put aside your ego. It doesn't matter what your career, if you can't take orders, you will never work happily.

They say to err is human and forgive divine, but sadly, this doesn't apply to the world of the working man or woman. To err is now a financial liability and forgiveness takes up valuable business time, and our fast paced, hypersonic world chooses not to waste any time on trivialities. So as you go about your pursuit of a meaningful career, make sure you don't commit these career mistakes
