People who defined 2008 — II

2008’s high­est grosser at box-office and all set to be re-released Jan’09 to cross the 1B mark, The Dark Knight hov­ered in news for Ledger’s death, his highly acclaimed per­for­mance and the movie’s out­stand­ing sales record. The finest super­hero movie yet, Christo­pher Nolan and his crew did a fab job in cre­at­ing this dark thriller. Oscars may not do jus­tice to this bril­liant movie for many rea­sons but the com­mer­cial suc­cess might have just com­pen­sated for it.The cin­ema rarely gets any better.

The duo had their worst night­mares come true. The lesser said the better.

He came, he saw, he con­quered. He seized the turf dear­est to ex World No. 1 Roger Fed­erer and pro­duced one of the most mag­nif­i­cent streaks in ten­nis world ever. The list of accom­plish­ments for the young Spaniard include French Open Slam, Wim­ble­don and Olympics Gold along with myr­iad of other tour­na­ments vic­to­ries. What bowls me over? — his inno­cent — “No?”

Con­stantly under scrutiny after inher­it­ing the trou­bled legacy of Chuck Prince, Pan­dit never set­tled down. The both­er­ing phase is far from over and he knows he can be the next scapegoat.
