    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

Musa, which is released in 2003, directed by Joni Anthony and starring by several Malayalam comedians and comedy artists like Dilip Kuchekhanifa, Jayakrithi Harishreshwar. There are a number of comedy actors who have joined together. The story is based on the main character Sahadevan, who is acted by Dilip.

    There is one Bengali movie which made me laugh. I watched it with my parents when I was a child. I can vividly remember that movie because the storyline was completely different than others. The main character was played by Bhanu Bandopadhyay, a famous Bengali actor. In that movie the story was about a person who committed suicide and then how his life is going in the heaven. It's not something very spiritual, it's not something related to, it's not something very serious. How the central character Bhanu Bandopadhyay having fun in the heaven, how he is talking to his fellow heaven dwellers with a sarcastic way, how he is exploring heaven with so much entho, that is the main storyline and I felt that story had a different kind of vibe. That's why I laughed a lot.

    So, the movie that made me love was a movie named Birthday Kiss. So, this I was watching with my mom on my 18th birthday as a reflection on how my birthday is going to be celebrated on the following Christmas. So it was a movie filled with nostalgia as well as jokes and a panoramic sense of humor. So the sense of humor was projected in a very nice pattern. What made me most love was how the sequence of kissing was followed for a birthday girl in a snowy way and how in a magical express once the birthday girl was transferred from a snowy to mountain to deserts and jungles on her birthday. Especially the scene when their parents used to fly on the sky and they were throwing away their pebbles, chocolates and parachutes to the social buildings made me more love and smile on my face. As well as I laughed at how the birds, the flamingos was taking that little girl to distant places on her birthday. And finally, the cake that was presented on the film had humorous characters and lovely jokes. These jokes made me laugh often sometimes to the mouth as well as sometimes what I have found is that the jokes were at a level of teenage, not some adult anecdotes or phrases. So this made me feel like I was back to my childhood, reminiscing on how I used to make love on small small activities and move some corner things. So this deviated me from my daily routine and stressful jobs and I enjoyed a lot with these company and the movie they watched. Thank you.

    As far as I remember, the only movie I laughed loudly was a Hindi movie called Entertainment, which is basically a hero who is dog. The dog name is Entertainment and is completely movie revolved around that dog. I saw this movie when I was 18. I'm not sure where I watched it. Yeah, I remember now. My brother bought a DVD player. We used to watch movies in DVD player back then. So he bought a CD and me and my brother watched it together. And we felt so good after watching that movie because we never thought that movie could be so much interesting before when we start watching that movie, we felt like it's just a normal movie with an animal in it. But eventually that movie becomes so interesting because the tactics, the tricks that dog does in the movie was mesmerizing that the dog was a complete hero in a movie and obviously Akshay Kumar was there as a hero, but I couldn't felt like he was the hero. The dog Entertainment was a complete package of entertainment in that movie and stolen the whole show. That movie was so, so, so good. I don't have a right word to express about that movie. Everyone should watch.
