This calls for a celebration:

1. I saw a movie after 4 months!
2. Watching Neil and John together was a treat ;-)
3. To top that, John was nude. Hehe!
4. And of course, got to see the place New York, just for 150 bucks!

So, yes, lots of reasons to like the movie - The actors, the screenplay and thecinematography. 

One shot, I clearly remember - Reflection of the helicopter shownon the bonnet of a car. So, yeah, great ideas!

Talking about the storyline, it revolves around terrorism. But the fact that the suspects are treated so inhumanly was shocking to see, that too, without any evidence. And the vengeance leads to more terrorism, once the suspects are rescued. The script was convincing and so was the acting.

John, especially, should get a special mention here.Besides having a sexy butt, he can really pull off a character well. Katrina has looked as pretty as ever and her stand of - standing by her husband/boyfriendis a HIT! After having seen Johnny Gaddar, Neil has proved himself as a great actorbut there was nothing challenging about his role. There is no doubt that he hada crucial role to play in the film. 

Agreed that Irfan Khan is not that great looking but he will still be mentioned because of his tongue-in-cheek advice J That made the film entertaining. And ofcourse, I am assuming we all know how great he is as an actor! There were bits when I was curious to know ifJohn was really guilty of terrorism and the prolonged suspense lead to boredomat one point but then it finally picked up. 

The climax was disheartening. We all are used to happy endings and this onedidn’t have one. But we also want reality, don’t we? I can’t think of a climaxotherwise, so I won’t blame the script writer for this.

To sum it up, it is definitely worth a watch. Whether you walk out angry, content or even ridiculing the director, do watch the film to experience the pain. Fortunately, you don’t have to carry it all your life, like them. Though, nothing justifies terrorism!  But one thing, well said in the film - All wrong decisions are taken at a wrong time!

The guy (don’t know his name) sitting next to me loved the film. He thoroughly enjoyed it because after every scary scene he would turn to me to see my reaction and crack up laughing.

And me, I would promise myself not to entertain him further but couldn’t help. I love watching horror movies. I just enjoy the thrill. I just love preparing myself not to be scared or yell out and end up doing the same. Raaz isn’t so scary but there were few scenes when I jumped.

The storyline is weak but the journey isn’t so bad. Builds up the suspense pretty well though the climax is disappointing. Kangana Ranaut is the New Urmila Matonkar. She is best fit for such whacky roles. I found Shekhar Suman’s son pretty average but he can act decently well. And Emraan Hashmi, I love him for his songs, though the kajal which he must have borrowed from his wife, I think he should just return it to her. Doesn't suit him.

For those who love scary movies just watch it to enjoy the thrill. I give it 2.5 stars on 5.

I knew it is about Kaun Banega Crorepati -in this film - Who wants to be a Millionaire and that’s the only information I had. But this Slumdog Millionaire had so much more than just that.

To your surprise, it’s gotta cute love story. Ten year old street child falling in love with another.. sweet, innit?

So how each question is related to this kid’s life who is born and brought up on the streets to India? Danny Boyle has done a great job and I am glad that they decided to release it in India as well. Though I felt the beginning was slow and I had to kind of force myself to be more involved in the film but as it caught pace, it caught all my attention.

Jamal Malik, all three kids who played growing up years of this character were totally interesting and Dev Patel’s straight forward dialogue delivery was convincing. Unfortunately enough, I am upset about the fact the way India is depicted. They have shown that only dirt and filth happens in India. May be they had do this to prove - why beggars are beggars! But even then, I am not too appreciative of that.

Though it is very well written and filmed. I am not convinced how he got the last two answers right for which the script-writer chose destiny as an excuse and ended it by the tagline – IT IS WRITTEN! Yes sir, well-written.

Lets see if the slumdog is able to impress his true origin – India. Slumdog Crorepati release on 23^rd January. Don’t Miss it.

I give it a 3.5 stars on 5.

If you are a Sardar with a good Surdy sense of humour, bindaas attitude, authentic Sardar accent and under 18 years old, please contact me. Under 18 because I generally like Sardars only till that age. I am not being racist. Lot of my friends are Sikh and I love them all. Just that I love Sardar kids more than Sardars themselves :-)

This long story because the first half n hour of the movie was about this under-18-year-old sardar, whose name is Lucky. He always wants things to go his way, no matter what. His cool attitude, accent and acting stole my heart.

The story did not change when he grew up. The older cut-surd Abhay Deol too is just too charming. He is a thief and not a cool thief like Hrithik Roshan from Dhoom but a cheap thief who doesn’t even leave show-peices or chindi photo frames. ;-)

I wouldn’t say the movie made me laugh my guts out but it did bring a smile to my face. I did sense a bit of pain in my jaws by the end of it. Reason could be Abhay Deol. There is something in him which the other Deol brothers don’t have. It’s got no story line, just a fun-no-brainer-flick with a retro feel.

I know a lot of you need a break from the news channels flashing breaking news after every five minutes. I am not saying forget the incident but be brave, smile and fight. There is nothing that can stop you from going to a mall or a multiplex. This is your country, not anyone else’s!

And BTW, Aaoji Khaoji was the restaurant's name started by Lucky Singh! If I ever open a restaurant, you know what it will be called :-)

If you’d ask me, which was your favourite movie in the year 2008? My instant reply would be - A WEDNESDAY!

It’s got no bhashan, no preaching! It’s a mirror of our condition and sadly, nothing can be done. I don’t remember a minute I was distracted. I have never been so much into in a film, or anything else, perhaps!

Naseerudin Shah plans a blast in Mumbai and very bravely he tells the policemen about it. Inspite of them knowing about it, the helplessness is evident. Protecting people is a priority and at the same time, they have to placate the terrorist to stop them from firing/blast and find out the spots.

Crux being, today it is so simple to plan a blast. Naseerudin was no terrorist. He was a common man. If he can do it, if he can plant a bomb in a POLICE STATION, think about the guys who are trained for 20 years just to do this.

It was mind boggling. It had the effect on me for a week. Sadly, yesterday was a wednesday too and the attack continues even today. And today, again as I see the dead count going up, it doesn’t make me sad. It makes me angry.

Angry because I am not doing anything to make it better. Angry because I do not have the guts to go up to them and shoot them all dead. Angry because they will do this until they are dead! Angry because I will have to wait till I am dead!

A Wednesday – A must watch for each Indian or perhaps everyone who will be dead, sooner or later!

But if you want to do something about it before you or your loved ones die, you can do something about it. Let’s start right away.

And I thought it was a woman's business to look HOT. I was so wrong. John Abraham has crossed all the limits - He looked HOT! Like siiiiiizzzzzzzling HAWT.

Okay, attention! Lets talk about the movie. Dostana was exactly what I thought it to be. And even then, I wasn’t bored. Though, there were bits when I felt, oh its just about to get over but nope.. it went on. So yes, it was slightly long.

It was funny. Abhishek can act really well as a gay. But John.. He is just too manly to be a gay! As titled, the movie doesn't talk about friendship, it is all about LOVE. Everyone in love with Piggy chops!

Maa da laadla bigad gaya gets the award for the best song.

You must be wondering why I haven't mentioned about the babe - Priyanka Chopra. Well, to confess, jealous!

Arrey, she gets to go for all those fancy dates and that too with THREE different men ;-) What luck! And why not, she is Sindhi in the movie and looks nice :)

Funniest scene – when Abhishek’s mother gets to know about his son’s sexual preference. Followed by a couple of scenes.

Hot bods, good locations, little funny, not too senti, good gay jokes. Dostana is all about that. Worth a watch once. Recommended.

Go ahead and enjoy.

Be Happy and Gay!

Money is the reason for all the stress! I am not saying this after watching EMI but the same morning when I saw the flick!

I got a text from Barclay Card saying I have been charged seven grands for being a part of priority circle. Huh... What is that? While I was busy at work, these customer care executives had called once.

'Ma'am, a free gift for you.'

'What for?'

'You are a part of priority circle'

'Okay. Whatever that means. Is it for free?'

'Ofcourse Ma'am'

'Alright then. Bring it on'

This is the brief discussion I remember and then I was charged Rs 7,000. Painful, I tell you. Not that I am going to pay. And I don't want those free gifts either.

Yaa. So the movie. Yes, it talks about Loan - Liya hai toh chukana toh padega. Fair enough. But Sanjay Dutt, who is from the recovery agency comes up with an alternative as to lets solve their problems first so that they are able to pay up. Don't know how practical it is. I mean, of course I know. It is not practical at all!

Wish everyone was so considerate. Blah!

But obviously that gave an emotional touch to the movie. Gandhigiri types, you know. First half was boring but the second half was entertaining.

Worth a watch? I guess you can skip this one. Recession time. Save up, guys. ;-)
