The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:54:21 GMT

During the last two weeks, I managed to watch a couple of movies... So here are my views on each one! :)

The Good

New York

All I could say, is that Yash Raj Films have finally come back to their senses... And it's all thanks to director Kabir Khan. The movie was brilliant, and explained the fact that "Terrorism has no religion!" Everybody in the movie, from John Abraham to Katrina Kaif to Neil Nitin Mukesh -- they delivered their career-best performance. Kabir Khan managed to bring the actor out of John. Katrina delivers another natural performance after Namastey London. Her Hindi diction has improved as well. Neil is the show-stealer of the film. Irrfan Khan does his Slumdog Millionare act again. Overall, New York is worth every penny! A must-watch!

Rating: 4/5

Lajja

I've been trying to watch this movie for a long time now after I heard about its subject and all the critical acclaim so I finally managed to watch it. I must say, the movie is clapworthy! Director Rajkumar Santoshi handles a subject like this with utmost ease. It has to be one of or even the best female-oriented movie in Bollywood. Manisha Koirala is superb, its sad she made bad career moves after a fabulous role like this one. Madhuri DIxit is graceful as usual. Words are not enough to explain how fantastic an actress she is. Mahima Chaudhary gets a chance to display her acting ability, and she's fabulous! I liked her track the most. Rekha is excellent as well. The male actors -- Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor and Ajay Devgan -- do full justice to their roles and fit their parts perfectly. Recommended!

Rating: 3.5/5

Salaam Namaste

I was not into watching this movie to begin with, but I was surprised that it was good. I think Salaam Namaste is the best work done by Siddharth Anand -- compared to his other movies, Ta Ra Rum Pum and Bachna Ae Haseeno. Both Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta did their best work in this movie. Arshad Warsi is good. Overall, Salaam Namaste is worth a watch!

Rating: 3.5/5

The Bad

Dhadkhan

Okay, you seriously want me to talk about this film?! :P

Rating: 1.5/5

The Ugly

Kambakkht Ishq

I watched this movie with zero expecations, yet I found it very, very BAD! No Horrible! Actually, no words are enough to describe how sleazy, cheap and vulgar this movie is! I beleive anybody who likes this movie shows how low his standards are. Yes, there are brainless comedies like Welcome or Singh Is Kinng, but atleast they entertained. Or if you didn't like them, then think of something twenty times worse! Kambakkht Ishq is a perfect example for "style over substance." I have no idea what the writers, and the director Sabbir Khan thought while making this movie. Just casting a couple of unknown Hollywood actors we've never heard of wont turn it into a good film. OK barring Sylvester Stallone, but to be honest, his time is over! I mean come on! Akshay Kumar is getting too repeatative, enough is enough dude!! Kareena Kapoor is the saving grace of the movie, she looks ravishing! The less said about the other actors, the better! The worst among all is Javed Jaffrey, he gets on your last nerve! Or Denise Richards, who has no idea she is being insulted in the movie, haha!
Okay, this movie ain't worth it... So I'll save my words for something else! Just an advice from a friend, don't ever give this movie another look!

Rating: 1/5 (For Kareena's performance and the okayish songs)

An ‘Un’forgettable Experience!

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:26:25 GMT

I forgot to mention earlier, but I had attended Shah Rukh Khan's Temptation Reloaded concert, which took place in Dubai Festival Arena on October 25, 2008 and lasted till nearly 1 AM, about 2 weeks ago and it was truly an unforgettable experience! It was my first (proper) concert, actually it was not even proper 'cos of its bad organization. I had paid for the backseats but I ended up in the VVIP god knows how lol. I went there to meet KK (Katrina Kaif) and I ended up meeting the other KK (Kareena Kapoor), it was not even a meeting -- just a few waves, a few screams, and at the end I was kicked out by the security. What a shame really, and the worst part is that Katrina left after Kareena and on the top of all that she was much nicer by shaking hands with her fans. Unlike Kareena who ordered the car till the tent and left with her eyes down speaking on the phone (probably with Saif?) ignoring her fans while Ritesh Deshmukh appeared out of nowhere.

So yes that backstage part was the most unforgettable not to forget SRK arriving to inside the tent before all that with fans screaming and SRK responds to 'Dhoom' untempted while I see Kareena sitting (on a table?) with her phone in her hands while something about the tent caught her attention. As I got kicked out, my cousin was lucky to catch a glimpse of Katrina's million-dollar smile! Ofcourse I've seen it while she was on stage but I was not lucky enough to see her closer. Well atleast I could see VJ Anusha Dandekar so close after watching her on MTV and in the movie Virrudh. She looked pretty but short. Actually, all of them look better in real life than reel life -- Kareena looked (surprisingly) beautiful because I don't find her attractive in off-screen pictures.

Now to the show, there wasn't much apart of SRK inviting fans to dance with him on stage, Gauri surprising him with a cake for their wedding anniversary which was on the same day as the concert as well as Arjun thanking SRK and Farhan Akhtar for Om Shanti Om and Rock On!! respectively. And yes I missed the solo stage performances of Katrina and Kareena while SRK was already performing when we arrived about 30 mins. after the show had begun. Not only that, I brought my video and digital cameras uncharged so I haven't recorded or captured anything though my cousins and sis managed to take a few photos and about 15 mins. from the show until the battery was low again. It was all unplanned though we were keen to go earlier but we faced a bunch of conflicts though we were lucky enough to grab the last 4 tickets available.

As for the organization (if any), it was terrible... I had to push myself inside to get to the front seats and how I and a few people managed to go backstage must've been a hilarious view. So that's it for now... Until I manage to remember some more, see ya!

First Post

Welcome to my LJ. This is my first post so I’m just going to continue with some random stuff… I’m Aryan/M/16/UAE, my birthday is on August 23rd; six days ago. So I’ve turned sixteen, and I had my birthday cake yesterday. My sweet sis arranged a small surprise and I had my cake yesterday. As they say its sweet 16. :P

Anyway, I watched Bachna Ae Haseeno a few days ago. It was surprisingly good, far better than what I expected. Ranbir Kapoor is superb. Bipasha Basu is in form for the first time and for a change I’ve liked her this time. She is very effective. Minissha Lamba is excellent, especially in the second half. Deepika Padukone does a fair job. Kunal Kapoor deserves a special mention. Overall, it’s a very entertaining film! Definitely worth the bucks and I must say, Yash Raj Films is back on track! ;) I’d rate it 3 and a half out of 5
