In most reviews, the stars were on the higher side of 3.
Friends came back from mid-afternoon shows and raved and ranted. Thought it had something to do with the beer levels. Some came back after evening shows and continued to rave and rant. This was serious. But somehow I couldn't get myself to believe them or rather get off my lazy backside and see the movie. That is, till last night.
Maybe it was fate or kismet as the movie poster, which I googled today, proclaimed.
The film is cock!! No apologies for the language. None at all.
It was a waste of an evening.
Why would anyone, I mean anyone in their sane mind think the film is close to palatable???
The story is lame with too many flaws. While being chased by the cop, why couldn't he jump into a taxi in the first place instead of running a marathon, waits for the phone to ring with instructions hail a cab??? When someone's chasing us, wouldn't we to find the quickest escape route??
The acting, well to put it into perspective, the mobile phone, a Nokia 6600, easily overshadowed anyone else's performance. Followed closely in second spot by the shadow that covered Gajraj for most of the film. Sarcasm aside, Gajraj was impressive.
Was trying to figure out why people thought it was a good film. Could come up with the following reasons;
- The hero dies in the end. (We're still not used to this in Bollywood)
- There is very little make up. (If there ever is a film where we have the hero or heroine sans make up, it has to be a good film e.g. Chameli)
- The hero dies in the end.
- It touches on a sensitive issue. (I have to say this- so many have touched the sensitive issue in so many ways and so many number of times, it's lost its sensitivity)
For all those who haven't yet buckled under pressure and watched the film, Bigg Boss 2 will give you better viewing pleasure.
Yes, I have come out of the closet. I am a Bigg Boss 2 fan. I've seen 6 episodes until now and I am hooked.
Don't know what it is about those few will-never-be's but I enjoy it.
Just have a few questions.
Who is the Alina girl? She isn't a singer, doesn't look like a dancer (read item girl), is she a TV actress??
And which item number has Sambhavana done?? Never seen her.
BB2 has become saans-bahu of sorts. Everyone claims not seeing it as it's full of losers but they all seem to be the updated about the events.
When I saw my first episode, I did ask myself -
Isn't Debojit getting any opportunity to sing in the industry?
Why is the saans-bahu lady, Ketki there? Thought she was doing well!
The Roadies 5.0 winner deserves to be. I have been an ardent fan of Roadies but missed out on the last few episodes of 5.0, till somebody told me this guy had won and I was glad I missed it.
Donno whether MTV offered him a job, like they did to most other Roadies, but my guess is that they haven't. And that's why he's here.
Ehsaan couldn't make the cut with his brand of humour it seems. Sad but true.
Isn't Zulfi a moderately-successful model?
But as I continued watching, all these questions seemed to disappear into the wind and meet with the answers, which in any case were blowing in the wind.
Now I do not care who is who and who is what, just like watching them dressed like school children and acting (or are they?) challenged.
Donno whether it is entertaining or not, but it feeds the bitch in me. And I like it.

Alina is a nobody. BB 2 wanted one participant to be a nbody. Aamir, Mumbai meri jaan, and now wednesday. All based on similar topics. Enuff of bomb blasts and muslim terrorists. Its nauseating. Wednesday was not bad though. Perhaps coz it has Naseer and anupam kher. Mumbai meri jaan had too much to interpret. It tried to be an artsy fartsy movie, and did succeed to an extent, but then...did quite pull the chords in me.
