Do you wanna know?

Do you know my story I bet you don't What I dream in the night, What I think over my coffee? What takes me over When I stop talking? Why I am so silent On a moving train What I see outside   the barren landscape.. Do you wanna know Do you? Do you wanna know What I feel when I see a beggar on the road, A fellow in the waiting room Do you wanna know Wat I think of a bird Perching the branch ever so tightly And diving down ever so lightly..

After few more Hyderabad establishment's advts, a few public notices , No Smoking and 'Need No Pirate' posters , the movie finally started. The screen paves a   way to the Pre world war   British era and the eyes take some time to get accustomed to the darker tones of the screen . If you are bored of watching the scantly clad chicks of hollywood , the dark robes of the characters here provide some variety . Now in retrospect, Red and black and white offcourse   were the only colors in the whole movie.   Though robert   is the witty, funny, sharp and ever so quick detective of yours , I always kept looking for the fair toned, green eyed Jude Law , the possessor of a balmy Brit voice.   The dialogues have a rhythm of a flowing stream and the verbosity characteristic to British...
