A SHAME FOR BOLLYWOOD or is it a coincidental hit
17 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This movies was one of the most predictable piece of work I have ever seen. There was absolutely nothing natural about this movie. From the first 10 minutes to the last everything happened as a coincidence and the actors keep saying it God's reason that they were together, given straight form the title RAB NE BANA DI JODI. Shah Rukh has given one of his worst performances ever. He over acted as Suri, the geek who worked for Punjab Power, and even worse while playing Raj, a cool hip guys that comes out of no where. Although the heroine in this movie, Anushka Sharma, did put a lot of effort into her debut role, but sad to say her character was not well built. I mean seriously, you wont recognize you husband if he took of his glasses and shaved his mustache? Where did she think she was going to end up with being friends with Raj? From the first time Raj and Taani met, he was flirting with her and kept talking about love and just kept overacting to be the coolest person in the planet. Everything happens coincidentally, from Day 1 of where Suri and Taani met, at her wedding, there just happened to be a bus accident where the whole family of the groom , and the groom himself, dies. Hearing this news her father has a heart attack, and then they are married shortly after all this tragedy. How realistic does this sound to you? Even a kid in Pre-school can figure out that there's something not right with this picture. I don't understand how some one can say this is a good movie in any way: the music including the background score was mediocre, the photography was below par, the art direction was bad, everything in the movie from the streets to the garage looked like a set, the only realistic looking location was the Golden Temple, the actor has give out a performance with the same crap he has been giving out for his past 100s of movie, and most importantly the dialogs and the story were absolutely ridiculous. With the movie rating to be below par in all these categories how can one say this was a great movie. We are in 2009, and Bollywood has been making the same kind of crap since the dawn of Indian cinema. One can argue with me by saying if this movie was crap why did it do so well in the Box Office. Well I have 3 letters for you SRK. People will spend money to see SRK's appearance on screen not matter how crappy the story or the director is. Well getting back to the movie, I gave this a 1 out of 10 because of its impracticality and the redundant storyline over the years of Bollywood cinema.

Worst Waste of Bollywood Energy
15 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
We are in 2008 and is this the best bollywood could do? There is so much to be said about this movie, i could literally do a term paper as a review for this movie. First of there was just too much energy wasted on the promotion of the film. The movie it self is a waste of 3 hours. From the beginning till the end of the movie there were just too many pointless scenes. I mean the opening shot for introducing Harman Baweja was just awful. The first half of the movie was painfully boring, but the second half just gave me a reason to start digging my grave. I thought Love Story 2050 would be an original film with a good amount of effort put into it, but sadly it was very disappointing. The acting and dialog deliveries were horrible, the BGM was just mediocre, and the songs all fall on the same line. I can give Harman the credit for dancing skills but the sets of the songs and the choreography was not up to mark. Costume Design was just horrifying, i felt like plucking my eyes out after seeing what they wear in the future. The robotic voices for Boo and QT was just irritating, i mean it was okay for the start but when they had like a long dialog my ears started to bleed. This could have been a good opportunity for bollywood to show its creative and original imagination of the future, but sadly everything went down the drain by using the same concepts from Hollywood films. There are a rip offs of Hollywood movies in bollywood movies but its not done right. If you are going to rip off something, at least do it properly. If someone gave me that much money and gave me a shot of directing the same movie, i would make the movie with 2 hours duration, and a better vision of the future of Bombay in the future. Apart from the failure in the box office, they are releasing a game based on the movie....yaaaayyyy....can't wait for that....

Dhoom 2 (2006)
1/10
What's so good about this?
2 December 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Come on people. Dhoom 2 cannot be a good movie. It has poor cinematography, poor music, poor actions sequences, too much over acting, over editing, poor choreography, poor choice of costumes, average special effects, and horrible story line that has been adopted from 10 or more Hollywood movies. It might be entertaining for some, but the movie is set in present day. How come abishek doesnot wear a uniform for being a cop? How come he knows almost every about Mr. A and other look so stupid. The Comedy scenes are rediculuosly filled with over acting and some dumb background music. There were at least 80 - 88 unnecessary scenes in this movie. There were too many things too unreal, if you are gonna make a movie like dhoom do it realistically, we r not in the 90 or 80s any more, we are in 2006 people. If Some one handed me 90 crores to make this movie i would have done a hell lot better. Why are there many remixes in the soundtrack to dhoom? Overall, im a movie lover, but not for these kind of movies. Dhoom 2 is a big disappointment. Come on bollywood why are you adapting so many stories and plots from Hollywood, what happened to you creativity? Where are the great awesome movies? Be original n Be real!

Mission Impossible : Failed to impress
6 May 2006
Warning: Spoilers
The few reason why this movie would be a hit is because it has Tom Cruise and Rhames, for the fact its released in the summer, and the publicity started from around March or February making it look like the best sequel ever. The movie is very disappointing. I have to admit there are a few action sequences and cool gadgets used in the movie. Other than that the story was not impressive and 70 - 80 percent of the scenes are predictable. The soundtrack (aka Background score) was horrible. They did not even use the proper theme from Limp Bizkit or Moby. Cruise has acting is impressive to some point. In the previous Mission Impossibles there was a cool fight scene in the end between the villain and Cruise, but in this one, the fight scene is very very disappointing. This movie contains few small comedy bits. I would rather watch the first Mission Impossible than to go to the theatres for this one. There must have been a lot of effort put into this movie, but there are soo many mistakes and some scenes don't concur with reality. There are a lot of mistakes in the scenes shot in Vatican City. I went to watch the movie with high hopes but came out disappointed. Most of the best scenes and shots of the movie are in the trailers.

K-PAX (2001)
9/10
?Questions?
30 January 2006
What exactly is the deal with Prot?

What happens to bless (or that woman who never speaks)?

did she actually go to K-Pax? If prot was blufing about K-pax, how did he know the calculations and how did he draw his planet in the PLanetarium? Was he really Porter, Robert? If he is Porter how did he enter the trainstation?

I loved the whole story and the music and cinematography. Kevin spacey has done a good job. I like the way the director did not use too much of computer effects. The movie had me on the edge of my seat till the end. My favorite scene was the Blue bird and the BEaming.
