Prince of Persia

So anyone who has been a kid in this world would have played the video game Prince of Persia sometime in their life. I remember being the little prince, running around everywhere, drinking poisoned potion in an effort to save the lovely 2 dimensional princess from the evil Wazir, who has her trapped in a room full of little cushions and fluffy mattresses.
Hence we set off yday to become mall rats and watch the latest Disney movie called Prince of Persia. After snarfing down my delicious Chinese noodles, we set off for the multiplex.
It's a boon that we live only 10 minutes away from what is arguably one of the best places to spend the weekend in Delhi. Select City Walk and the two malls that adjoin it, give you a lot to do, in terms of walking around, browsing the various displays and eating - national past time for me and my husband.
Having bought three novels recently, I have curbed all desires to buy any more books for the next three months until I finish all the books on my bookshelf. This includes Thomas Friedman, P G Wodehouse and William Dalrymple. In India authors, 1/4th of a Rushdie novel is left, which I really should finish.
My verdict of Prince of Persia - well the effects were good. The Princess was beautiful. The plot was interesting.
All in all, 3/5 stars.
