 HH Review: Nazar, Rotterdam   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Nazar serves excellent Turkish food in what is a very pleasant restaurant; it's actually pretty cool, rather than tacky, and has a better vibe than Bazaar.
Nazar works best for two to four people, because service can seem slow when there are more of you.
Nazar is also good for very hungry people who want to fill up on one of the delicious oven dishes - I have had the excellent guveç etli (stew) several times - and who will not spoil their appetites on the tempting bread and dip.

NAZAR has four songs in all and in terms of tunes, the title track sounds pleasing to the ears.
NAZAR rests on Meera's shoulders and the Pakistani actor does impress you in certain portions.

 Nazar Boncuk-The Evil Eye
Once upon a time (yes, it starts like in a fairy tale) there was a rock by the sea that, even with the force of a hundred men and a lot of dynamite, couldn't be moved or cracked.
The force of the evil eye (or Nazar) is a widely accepted and feared random element in Turkish daily life.
The word *Nazar* denotes seeing or looking and is often used in literally translated phrases such as "Nazar touched her," in reference to a young woman, for example, who mysteriously goes blind.

 Nazar (2005)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Nazar is a story of a young and talented pop star Divya (Meera) who once driving back to home discovers a dead body.Divya goes to check on her and from then on, her life takes a complete turnaround as she starts getting premonitions about impending murders.
The biggest flaw of nazar, beside the much hyped Pakistani heroine Meera is that it is very predictable.
Overall Nazar goes down as another flops of the Indian film industry and with all the controversy it created before its release this movie is sure a no go.

 Crutchfield Advisor - Show Car - Nazar Abdelrahim's Ford Taurus
For Nazar Abdelrahim, building his system was a long learning process which began when he replaced the worn-out factory speakers in his 1998 Ford Taurus.
Nazar's growing desire for more overall volume eventually led him to install the Kenwood KAC-848 amplifier (50 watts RMS x 4, 150 x2) to drive his subwoofers, switching the Profile amp to 4-channel mode to push his full-range speakers.
Nazar Abdelrahim didn't know much about car stereo when he bought his Ford Taurus, but step by step he has assembled a well-designed, moderately-powered system that's got plenty of room to grow — and he's learned a lot about his new passion in the bargain.
