An individual brain is the cosmic centre of the universe and has the power to achieve everything by way of power of visualization (Dhyan Yog in Indian culture), Positive energy and Karma.

Originally conceptualized by Rhonda Byrne and Directed by Drew Heriot this documentary is based on a secret which Rhonda Byrne discovered while reading a book gifted by her daughter which says “Mama this will Help OXOX” .

Ms Byrne then started finding that secret behind the secret. She quoted “I’d been given a glimpse of a great secret, I began tracing the secret back through history, I couldn’t believe this the people who knew this were the greatest people in the world….. thou ironically all the people who featured in this documentary has no historical significance at all at least till date thou few are internationally known like Jack Canfield, Esther Hicks, Bob proctor and rest are little known in masses before the release of this documentary and the publication of the book with the same name worldwide.

But than What Is Secret?? Does it hold validity practically?? Is the documentary able to succeed to convince you with the power of an individual lies within?

The Answer is a Big YES. It does. Thou there are some instances mentioned by speakers which are logically debatable as far this documentary is concerned which has been discussed with the flow of article

                                       The Secret is LAW of Attraction



Bob Proctor, a philosopher effectively introduced the Law of attraction that puts viewers in a state of thought for a while to introspect why they are not in 1% on the wealth creators. The conversation is than carried forward a bunch of speakers which includes

John Assaraf, Joe Vitale, Bob Doyle (C/ o Wealth Beyond Reason);Esther Hicks(C/o the teachings of Abraham);Bill Harris( a therapist & founder of Holosync) ;James Arthur Ray; Dr. Michael Beckwith, Jack canfield (C/o Chicken Soup for the Soul series); Mike Dooley & Many more… All of them tried to justify one statement

“MYTHOlogical” may have derived from two words MYTH + LOGICAL i.e. thou we believe in the GOD & DEMONS and their Super Natural Powers but still there lies some logical sequence in the stories we heard. But Clash of the Titans (2010) is an exception in that. Only begging on high class animation; the story failed to hold as the screenplay is full of potholes.

“       In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment…
We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.

Five Point Someone - The Real Idiots

 FIVE POINT SOMEONE

Author: Chetan Bhagat
Genre: Campus Drama


The Critique Lab Score Board
AVA Score : 8.2(Max 10)
AVA Medal Honour ™© : ȫ TITANIUM
Recommendation Level : High

A bond popularly known as Friendship thou discussed; argued and honoured in many ways from ages it’s true that emotions of a human being mysteriously layered beneath the heart are hard to read from words and eyes...The one who narrates will always loves to discuss; criticize others keeping himself besides the veil and
that’s what’s Chetan Bhagat tries to do while writing one of the most engaging story into Indian Print Space on campus life.


Characters
Three Idiots viz. Hari; Ryan and Alok met by instance while their dear seniors were trying to ragged them by forcing them to put their clothes off and stuffing empty coke bottles into their----- …You know where if you have read that. Ryan as a true Greek soldier saved them from getting virtually raped and a bond of three started in the IIT-Biggest Institution in India for Engineers.
Chetan seems to chosen himself as Hari as he is the one who narrates the complete the Story from beginning to end giving individual space to each friend also by allowing them to write one chapter for themselves including Neha …Hari’s Girlfriend and Prof Cherian Daughter. And who is Prof Cherian? Well he is the HOD and Hari’s only Nightmare

Ryan is the most dynamic guy to whom even Hari want to follow .A Guy with Greek God looks& Physique ; full of Confidence and a Heart to die for Friends (and run away from parents).

Alok is studious who has left his passion for painting to take up his family responsibilities as his father is half dead due to paralysis; sister has grown up and her to be in- laws needs a dowry ticket( a CAR) to make her enter into a institution called Marriage and his Mother teaches Biology in a school- The only earning member in the family
Neha is a girl every parent will cherish and boys will ask for...Beautiful; confident; Emotional ( and Hari will tell you better the day when Neha’s father found her Wrapped in a bed Sheet and Hari in his Shirt n I mean Only in a bed sheet)

And Hari...well He didn’t told about himself much as he enjoys writing about others...A safe-sider

Overview and verdict

It’s an engaging story which not only make you feel lighter but also makes you feel emotions of each character near to your heart with a straight focus on dark side of Indian education where Innovations; new ideas are given no space and everybody supposed to be a Parrot.
All characters, incidents and experience are so alive that if someone has ever lived in hostels or away from homes one could really imagine the scene by scene of novel as you move from one page to other.
It’s a story which does not just focuses on entertainment part but seriously raises the question on bitten Indian education system in IIT and how the system actually brought about changes in the lives of three friends.
It’s also tries to highlight whatever happens family is important even if you don’t need it...They are the one who stands by you when Nobody stands by you…. And Yes Friends...Good Friends are the most lovable assets of One Life.
Chetan tries to make his best to make you smile even in the most serious situation in the story…and that’s the real USP of his style
A very much recommended to all readers who want to recall their campus lives’ fun ;issues and of course first love..

Lastly, if you wish to know if Movie-“ 3 idiots” was based on this book on which such a great controversy raised then honestly the campus life in first half of the movie is a Direct hand pick from the Chetan Bhagat’s Five Point Someone..May be it was Director’s arrogance or Planned Promotional Strategy ; Five point Someone is an enjoyable ride...You will love to take on..Cheers!!
