ROAD TO SANGAM Superb. Paresh Rawal rocks once again. I wanted to watch for 15 min before going to sleep, but the film just did not let me go..right from first frame, things were very well made..first scenes of Paresh Rawal's machanic shop were really impressive..very very similar to what I was used to seeing in Hyd. (courtesy Flute)

WELL DONE ABBA is well done, indeed !

ATITHI TUM KAB JAOGE had actually gone to watch Kartik calling Kartik but a gangulian ticket sales guy at the movie theater in delhi duped me into watching this crap. Absolutely the worst movie I have ever watched since the 80's when Chunky pandey used to think of himself as a hero. Holy cow .... this movie had no sir or paon. Dont even watch it for free! Even the 2 dollars on a dvd are a waste! (courtesy CP)

RIGHT YAA WRONG - The movie was good. Some good twists. Its a murder mystery thriller. Not the best I have seen but good time pass. (courtesy CP)

ATITHI TUM KAB JAOGE & MY NAME IS KHAN - I wasn't terribly disappointed. Avoidable, but yet watchable, if you have to. (courtesy: Blwe)

ROAD, MOVIE - They should have named this 'Movie, Road'. Iss Movie ke baad, producer Road pe hi aayega - maybe some hi fi non linear story telling funda.

TEEN PATTI : Did the Director read only bits and pieces of the true story - what a poor adaptation if one can call it that !!! Starts off well, but falls flat after the build up. AB's hamming is in overdrive in the movie. For once, I wish they had copied the English movie 21 exactly. (courtesy JFK)

KARTHIK CALLING KARTHIK - is like a typical conference call at work ...starts off well but gradually gets predictable & you start wondering when it will end. Still, worth answering this call once!

INVICTUS - what a movie !!! Morgan Freeman ROCKS as Mandela !!! He is the best actor of 2009 by a mile !!! (courtesy JFK)

MY NAME IS KHAN - I feel like tearing up some posters and I am not a Shiv Sainik!

MY NAME IS Not KHAN and will someone pass me the tissues please! (courtesy Broadbat)

STRIKER - In carrom lingo, break achcha tha par baad me game nahi jama

RANN It took all my will power not to take the title phonetically

ISHQIYA - A good movie, but beyond the style, the dialect, the setting & a stellar cast, the film fails to reach a high. A bit underwhelming after the hype. Kya kare ...dil toh bachcha hai jee ...yeh maange more!

SHERLOCK HOLMES is excellent & does more justice to Holmes' various abilities than past adaptations. Still, it takes more than one movie to overcome past impressions (especially on appearance) - looking forward to the sequel!

2009

3 IDIOTS - Aall Ijjj Well that ends well. Best hindi film of 2009.

AVATAR is a simple - even predictable - tale. The magic is in the telling. An experience more than a movie. James Cameron is indeed the King of the World (of film making)!

ROCKET SINGH - SALESMAN OF THE YEAR - A dialogue goes "there are qualities that take you up & those that take you down in every person." The same can be said for the movie. Too idealistic, preachy & silly in parts, it is still worth a watch for some excellent performances & its feel good factor. You may even come back with some tips on how to approach that year end review & targets meeting!

DE DHANA DIDN'T. Johny Lever, Asrani, Rajpal Yadav & Manoj Joshi are good but the biggest saving grace is that Priyadarshan locked Akshay Kumar in a cupboard for half the movie & kept Suniel Shetty away from screen for most of it.

PAAwesome!

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (courtesy Flamingo) - Biggest waste of time ever. Save your cash!

KURBAAN, unlike K Jo's earlier candy floss movies, serves a higher purpose. In a slick, finely crafted labour of love, he seeks to raise the Indian police force's morale by showing the FBI & NYPD in even poorer light. A clear improvement over other films in this genre like Khuda Kay Liye, it almost touches the heights achieved by the all time classic - Jo Bole So Nihaal !

AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI - Ranbir, as PREM, in full form, some LOL moments & no KAHANI ...this one is more AJAB than GHAZAB

2012 - Hindi film with special effects. Tum Miley is a better disaster movie.

LONDON DREAMS - Dont miss the beginning or you’ll miss the best part of the show – first look of 3 IDIOTS!

ALADIN - Make a Wish that you dont get tickets - now, that would need a Genius Genie!

BLUE: Damp Squib. There should be a rule against letting the likes of Zayed Khan loose on poor, unsuspecting folks recovering from a recession.

MAIN AUR MRS KHANNA: What's worse than Zayed Khan in a movie? Sohail Khan in a movie. If you missed this, you had a truly happy Diwali.

ALL THE BEST: is proof that nothing is impossible - not even making an enjoyable film with Fardeen Khan in it. Sanju baba, Johny Lever & Sanjay Mishra (Shuklaji of Office Office fame) rock. Mindless fun, and yes, inspiring too!

WAKE UP SID: Refreshingly good movie. Sid is shown to be an Arsenal fan but I'll ignore that - he was a loser anyway.

DO KNOT DISTURB: Govinda is in form but David Dhawan has lost his touch. Watch it on the big screen if you want to see the whole of Sushmita.

WHAT'S YOUR RASHEE (courtesy Broadbat): Watch it only if you have 12 lives & are willing to waste one

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS: Truly Glorious !!! Dont take your kids else you'll end up answering spelling queries for a whole week.

WANTED: Sallu is back in ishtyle - mindless, seeti maar, full paisa vasool !!!

DIL BOLE HADIPPA: has to be the best cricket movie after AWWAL NUMBER. It has everything - an ambitextrous cricketer, the switch hit, the Dilshan scoop, a "day-night" T20 match that starts in the afternoon & ends on the stroke of midnight & a successful run chase of 214 from 46/9 in 10 overs !!! Seriously, only the sheer genius of Dev Anand keeps Awwal Number ahead.

[keep-it-cool]

A few points

a) this is broadbat's idea - so if anyone feels pakaoed, you know who to go after

b) pls feel free to add your own thoughts

Lets see whether we can keep this going

[broadbat]

Great start Kic now I know which counters to avoid.

If this had to go on twitter it would  perhaps be something like this.


Aladin dressed in Blue came to wish Mr and Mrs Khanna  'All The Best' and Wanted to Wake up Sid, who had a Do Knot Disturb sign on his door so  they could not ask 'Whats your Rashee' to the Inglourious Basterd but ended up saying Dil Bole Hadippa

[keep-it-cool]

Does that fit within 140 characters?

Slight modification to the title - a more accurate reflection of when I catch my weekly dose.

[broadbat]

Title is cool

LONDON DREAMS - Dont miss the beginning or you’ll miss the best part of the show – first look of 3 IDIOTS!

Would nightmare have been a more appropriate title?

[keep-it-cool]

i guess yes ..for all parties concerned

When are we tuning into the Radio?

The best review on Aladin was one I read somewhere - actually the title to the full review - ALADIN'T

[Flamingo]

I know this is about new films (i'm guessing...i don't actually know any of the films here), but i just wanted to say that "kaal" is the best film ever!  it was so bad it was good!  It was a laugh a minute kinda movie.

I know of only one Kaal ...the Ajay Devgan, Vivek Oberoi, John Abraham starrer ...if you are talking about that one, I agree.

Btw its SBIG

[Flamingo]

thats the one!!! the bit where his head gets cut off is ace!  i was in tears of laughter!

i may have issues 

SBIG?  you learn something new everyday!

[Blwe_torch]

I had to see Aladin, as my relative is part of the cast. So, I endured the hard time, with a smile..........with family in tow, ofcourse.

MAIN AUR MRS KHANNA: Even Sunny, Dimple, and Rajesh would have been better.

Some key questions before PAA releases

1. Will it be able to match up to the all time father-son classic, PAPA THE GREAT?

2. Even if it does, will it survive in the mass hysteria unleashed by HIMESH's Radio?

[feverpitch]

... ... ... HIMESH's Radio?

You mean Himmesssshhhh's Radio GaGa (Radio GooGoo)

[broadbat]

Only hope that Paa does not have everyone crying out Maa!

[dhruvdeepak]

this is an awesome thread!

the age of twitter is upon us

[dextrous]

how's paa?

[keep-it-cool]

PAAwesome!

[broadbat]

The review is too short even by Twitter standards. 'Auro bolo'.

Indian salesman of the year is being launched today. We really need a good comedy from the Bollywood stable. Not the Dhana Dhan stuff that Priyan dishes out.

not too bad. Even the kids sat through it without complaining too much

watched Paa (without the kids) and  very well made.

How come you skipped Radio? Or do you refuse to review it?

[keep-it-cool]

I was out for two weeks on work and by the time I got back it was off air ...a conspiracy by the industry biggies to prevent their films from being washed away. It didnt help Rocket Singh or Kurbaan but Paa benefited. Lets see whether 3 Idiots thrives.
