3 Idiots Review / Comment’s

Aamir Khan to a surprise has worked in more than one movie having the same plot. It could be his attempt to reach excellence, or enforce the message down through the audience.

Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak & Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin - both had the same story line of a lover boy trying hard to get his love.

Awwal Number & Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar & Lagaan - all in the zest & zeal to be the winner at the end of the game.

Baazi & Sarfarsoh - had the fight against crime yarn.

& now Taare Zameen Par & 3 Idiots - driving the point to let the child be born free and let his creativity and interest build into his career.

Aamir Khan who has always been linked as a perfectionist, today reviles the secret & mantra of being successfully… In a recent TV show when N Murty and R Tata were asked for the success mantra they said its Luck. Aamir Khan says work with passion towards your subject & strive for excellence, sala success to jhak mar ke tumhare peecche aaega.

Rajkumar Hirani has put across a brilliant plot covering diversified topics and bringing the best out of each of them by somehow linking all of it back together. The pregnancy, teaching methods, hope of life, respect for parents, heart consoling fact & many such topics put into one big bag and shaken for delight. You would also always know it’s a Hirani movie when his simplistic `humanism alone works' philosophy is showcased.

All in all a vital, inspiring and life-revising work of contemporary art. A must watch, way better than the book, which is a first. BTW, the 3rd idiot isn’t Aamir Khan it is Javed Jaffery. Njoy.

For those of you who are net savvy, 3 Idiots is the first Indian film to be legally released on You Tube. (When you can’t stop piracy, why waste time fighting against it.)

Jail Review / Comments

No doubt Madhur Bhandarkar did not advertise this movie well. He knew it was not his best attempt.

If you are going to watch this movie expecting it to be an entertainer along with the realism Madhur always manages to bring to the floor, you will be partially disappointed. Even though the concept of showing pragmatic imprisonment may sound serious and black, there were many moments in the movie which could have released the stress from the drag the movie was becoming and brought life to script. Many characters shown, but not utilized well.

Right after the film certificate, they saw 3 pages full of sponsors, including some top five stars hotels, shopping malls etc, but it turned out depressing to see the entire 2 and half hrs in the jail and court area.

In a way I personally respect Madhur, as in all his scripts he has managed to bring out the real truth of the society right on your face, unlike many others who hype it and get caught at the censor board (in this case except the nudity scene).

However, for this particular movie I would say it’s ok if you miss this drag, unless you want to know the actual reality around the procedures and processes of entering, escaping and living in the Indian jurisdiction.

All The Best Review / Comments

At the start of the movie all the actors sing the title song, at that point in time it look likes they are telling all the best to us as we will need that to sit thru the movie.

But Rohit Sheety has managed to keep the good work up, third time in a row.

He obviously starts with a stunningly creative stunt and a gala parade, which I believe would have taken most of the funds, as rest of the movie has been shot in a house and outdoor scenes are local Goa whereabouts.

The plot has couple of events which the two young couples get caught into for their need of money, and the fun begins when they try to hide it and the pieces unfolds in front of their macho big brother.

Good work has been extracted from most of the characters. All of them put together and some events has given decent results:

Marie Maid (not my maid, her name is Marie) with the typical Goan accents;

Car garage & Music band – utilized for one event each in the movie;

Ever green comedian Johnny bhai as Tobu bolta hai;

Sanjay Mishra as the tensed homeless tenant who keeps singing Just Chill;

Sanjay and Fardeen as Dharam Vir respectively, Sanjay strong and powerful and Fardeen still learning his acting skills;

Mugdha as Vidya, in vastu science;

Asrani as her father who gets beaten up for nothing and uses old hindi proverbs;

Bipasha plays a double role to prove her duskiness further, as Jhanvi and Princess Of Lesotho;

last but not the least Ajay as Prem Chopra taking away all the credit at the end by being the ideation king and prankster that he is in real life.

I must say the dialogues are outstanding. Some of them really well though of…

Cricket tournament called – GPL…

Baharo phool barsaoo mera mehboob aiya hai

PhD – Phata hua Dhol

MBA – Maha Bekar Adami

& some nice use of Swahili – Muzuri Sana. Baraka Baraka.

All in all an enjoyable family entertainer, you can go for over the weekend and de-stress.

Main Aurr Mrs Khanna Review / Comments

You know sometimes something does not go well and you immediately start thinking what did I do to deserve this.

That was exactly my thought 30mins into this movie.

A very depressing, unrealistic, out of place, a bit unethical and a badly edited movie.

When the world has started showing upward trends, who would want to see a movie of recession times.

Also what can one expect from a movie which was suppose to go on the floor in mid 2007 and has been rejected by Priyanka Chopra, Ayesha Takia, Preity Zinta, Lara Dutta and Deepika Padukone for the main lead. And I have heard Kareena did this movie just because Salman requested her personally.

And can u imagine Bappi Lahiri in a movie. Mere ghan ye nahi sun sakte!

Trust me, if you haven’t see this, you are blessed.

Don’t pre judge me, I have to write reviews.

Dil Bole Hadippa Review / Comments

Oye bhool fikraa, hai jigraa !!! Toh sang mere bol HADIPPA !!!

A very dynamic movie.

India Pakistan issue, Husband wife distance, Father Son relationship, Indian Western culture, Male Female differentiations, Woman empowerment, all these touchy social concerns nicely blend into one.

A movie reinstating that dreams are the biggest drivers, and if you believe in them you can achieve it.

Rani Mukherjee after the long hiatus, just brilliant. It felt like she was polishing her skills while she was trapped in her new house. Dialog deliver/Punjabi accent excellent, Cricket poses perfect, Looks beautiful, Style flawless, Presence fascinating.

“Veer Prathab Shing, Right de Left hand batsman”.

Rani started her career with Mendhi, fighting for women rights. Here she starts the second phase of her career showcasing girl power. A remake of “She’s the Man”, but not the typical copy, good justice and imagination put in the script.

Nice job done! I think staying with big brands, pay back - Yash Raj Productions.

Not to forget our upcoming chocolate hero, who ends up getting paired with every single girl he acts with (by single I mean both, each and spinster). He always wanted to be like Shah Rukh Khan, here he not only plays the role of the coach but also dresses, and in one act plays DDLJ character of Raj.

Screen presence of Shahid has been always charismatic, just like his dad.

All in all, a movie worth the watch.

What’s your Raashee Review / Comments

Didn’t give the punch that is expected from an Ashutosh Gowariker movie.

I think the biggest flaw was the expressing less, emotion less, enthusiasm less, effort less actor. It was a big drag to see him. I mean, come on, it’s just that much that you can copy from Hrithik, after that you need to bring in your own originality, if any. Any song, fast or slow, you can’t keep doing the popping and locking. Any dialog delivery you just can’t read the script, put some life into the character. There were so many moments and chances in the movie where the actor could have taken this film to another level, but affsosh, Ashutosh had signed Harman for the movie a year back.

I would just leave this thinking Ronnie and Ashutosh paid the guy poorly looking at his past performance and that’s how he delivered now too.

Other than that, there was a lot of effort put on the drawing board of this movie. All raashee’s played the precise role and depicted the perfect character of each star sign.

Stories built around each kanya, had something new to say and kept the interest going.

Ashutosh had this movie very close to his heart, he tried to keep this movie to his religion and showed a lot of guju presence. He had lots of high expectation from it, but I think we all know his over confidence is now even showing on award functions.

Priyanka Chopra is on a roll, man! If I am not mistaken her consecutive last four movies have been a hit. And she even got the best actress award for one of them.

Fantabulous act and delivery by the latest bollywood queen. She surly does give her 100% to each scene. I must say her first role as the Aries girl was mind blowing. The accent she displayed was hilarious.

Most of her acts being indigenous at the same time had echo of her personality. He facial makeup, finger nails, lip do, eyebrows (except at one place) was more or less the same.

Finally, I would say wait till it comes on dvd, because then you can keep forwarding the non-relevant 13 songs.

Kaminey Review / Comments

I would rate this movie - Sucks!

But you would like to carry Shahid’s handover ahead and interpret that with 'Main Fa ko Fa kehta hoo!'.

A very dark predictable movie bought at peanut price from the streets from Africa. That’s true, the story has been written by a roadside gangster of Nairobi.

Story of two brothers with obvious psyche, one bad, one good, one running after his dream to be a bookie and stuck in the gangers games, the other being the part of the play due overconfidence in the Home science course.

The question asked is do you want to take a fort cut or a fmall fort cut.

Normal story showing the short falls of short cuts taken in life leading you to a dark future. Sadly the ending here leaves the public with a note of aspiration for taking up crime. Charlie is shown taking the crime ahead and having a successful future. Guess the director saw Shahid as the Hero in both the roles he was playing and made a glory finish for him, not giving justice to the script.

The boldness comes in displaying Mumbai police in the drug racket. Spin-offs’ thereof had its twists and turns, but nothing that would keep your anxiety high.

The script showed potential for becoming a very powerful plot, the characters used are talented; but I guess that’s the best Bhardwaj can create from it.

I was very surprised by the star rating given by the media, I think that’s where the role of the title ‘Kaminey’ comes in – I am sure it was bought.
