Movie review - God Tussi Great Ho


hey guys!!
GTGH ,the Indian version of Bruce Almighty stars Sallu miya with bro Sohail as rival and Priyanka Chops as lady love.......the movie's about Sallu having a tiff with God ( Indian Cinema's God Big B playin the almighty)...
i give it a 3/10..the concept is new for hindi cinelovers with an ordinary man gettin God's powers for 10 days...salman plays a loser in life who keeps blamin god for all wrongs in life until finally the almighty bestows his powers to salman who feels he could run the world in a better manner...the new God fools around with his new found power until he messes up big time with the entire world gettin their wishes fulfilled (even the rogues gettin out of jails and sohail stealin his sweetheart Pri )...
Music lets u down... Priyanka is playin the plastic beauty doin nothin more than dancin on the bad numbers... the movie didnt even have a fair share of publicity with half the public unaware of its release..
One might find the movie worth watchin once if he has not seen Bruce Almighty (but i suggest watch the original one, its just too good) ..The movie is not even half as good as its hollywood counterpart,with Salman loosing out points on not being even close to matching Jim Carrey's expressions and too many ghatiya songs dropped in recklessly all over...

Hot water bubble bath and dinner at Le Meridian, New Delhi....


Hey folks, Tuesday was awesome and i happen to experience LUXURY to the power of infinity at Le Meridian, New Delhi....My did and jiju were in Delhi for a conference, and were put up at LM...I was aware of their plans and had promised them that i wd visit them when they wd b here....Straight from the office i headed to LM....I had always seen the building from the outside, but inside was altogether a different experience....I thoght that the lobby and reception were nt as grand as Taj (Kolkata / Mumbai-Gateway of India one) but however it was extravaganza and the intereriors in green were just awesome...I headed to the room, and had a decent chit chat with Di, she is the coolest one and we tend to have a very amazing chemistry bw us...It was 8 by then and they had to go for their metting wchich wd last an hr so i decided to take a bath, wish i was carrying my swimming trunks (their was a grp of 5 firang chicks in the pool) and i jst cd not take my eyes off from them when i gazed at them from the room window..may b next time they will gaze me when i m in the pool....Biknis are the worlds biggest invention i think :)

I filled the bathtub with honey soked body shower and as they show in films, my tub was full of nothing but foam....Took bath for over an hr, followd by a short nap and then a GALA DINNER....here are some pictures i am sharing wid u guys...Cheers......
Try guessing what this portion of the hotel can be, and write down your ans in comments.

Confusion

Hii All, very recently I have discovered that there is another name of Life i.e. CONFUSION. We are always so confused and restless about every dammn thing in the world. When we set a goal in our life, we give our everything to achive it and thats nice too, but when we achieve the same we start thinking of setting up another goal,what a crap, why cant we be satisfied with what we just got, I know some of you might see this as a normal life procedure and all...but what the hell man..why do we have to be so restless all the time...I mean is this some mania we are suffering from...I have become restless due to the peace i am getting in my life(can you believe it)..This is after a long time that I have no pressures in my life neither of studies nor of work but this very situation is making me feel bad...Now I am confused whether I am wasting time..cummon man I always dreamt of these days and now all these crappy thoughts...

Movie Review-Singh is King

Yeah i am back, and i am quite disappointed, coz it seems i am the only one writing movie reviews here....Anyway as u guys know me, i give a damn, and u wil surely continue to receive at least my reviews....Singh is King (SIK), is Akshay Kumar at his best from the very start and it continues to establish AK's dominance in Bollyowood...As a movie it has too many loose ends to deserve a good category but AK's performance and a few good songs force me to give it

4/10....

SIK is a movie which is good in parts....It starts with a bang, full of humour and has AK as a crude villager creating a panic and chaos wherever he goes. Then the unwanted thing happens and the story starts to get very predictable when Happy Singh (AK) is sent to Australia by his villagers (who want him to run away from the PIND, coz of his constant trouble making attitude)....He is sent to Australia to bring back LUCKY SINGH (Sonu Sood) who is a sardar and is the King (Don) of Australia. AK takes Om Puri along, and i think Om Puri's character could have had more colors like the way he was utilized in Hera Pheri.....On his arrival the King (Sonu Sood) is shot in the arm, and suffers from a disease in which he cant speak but can listen and understand everything arnd him....He points his finger towards AK when asked who shd be the next king, agitating his own brother MIKA (Javed Jaffery). AK as King helps the bad guys to become good again and reminds them of GURU's lessons and spends all the hard earned money of the KING on charity....The second half of the movie when he ropes in the role of the KING, becomes very very boring specially after his contact with Kiran Kher (Rose)....Rose and King in the emotional scenes just suck....King in return of Rose's humble act of offering him food in Australia, decides to help her in getting her daughter Sonia (Katrina) married to a a very rich guy (Ranbir Shorie) by making her the Queen of all the business and posing her as a very very rich woman. Katrina ignorant of her mothers achievements over the last three years of her college also believes that her mother had made it big in her fathers business.... .The entire set up is very very colourless and uninteresting.....
In the end Katrina realizes that she loves AK, and as a typical setup experienced in Priyadarshan's movies, there is a lot of chaos in the end and Katrina instead of taking rounds with Ranbir Shorie ends up marrying AK, who holding her hand takes 7 pheres unintentionally as he tries to protect her al this while from al the bad guys around her....MIKA is the good guy turned bad to usurp powers from KING and his brother, but he is also given a boring lecture from AK to become good again in the end.....Could nt get any bad....

All in all the movie is tolerable and yet not good as was expected by all....Performance wise, Javed Jaffery had impressed again and his dance sequence establishes the fact that the chap can still boogie woogie better than the others in the business.....
In case you leave your brains behind or are dunnk you may end up having a good time and may laugh your lungs out. However the movie minus the three good songs and minus a couple of good scenes is not worth a watch....AK's hardcore fan may still love it, and Katrina and AK just rip the screen apart together....

As usual, your comments would add a great deal of value...

Love

Movie Review-Ugly aur Pagli



I was probably not in the right frame of mind when i thought of going for UAP or i was too impressed with Pyar ke side Effects that i thought to take a chance. Afterall Ranbir nd Mallika deserve a watch (which I had wrongly thought).
As is my style before writing abt the movie, i wil cut the long story short, and wd give the movie 1/10 (1 coz of two good songs in the movie) and wd recommend that only UGLY's and PAGLI's go watch the movie.

The movie (the final product) is a proper blend of what is the outcome of utter confusion. Sachin Kamlakar Khot, the director tried to mix Humour Romance and Seriousness in a very unsuccesful way and the product is that neither portion of the movie is tolerable. If it wasnt for the expensive tickets at PVR i would have left the movie in half.
The movie starts with Ranbir Shourie (Kabir) drinking a night club and wishing like al the men to have a girl in life. He meets Mallika at a Mumbai local station where she in a drunk state is about to fall in front of the approaching train. Kabir saves Kuhu (Mallika) and takes her to hotel coz she is too drunk to even be on her feet. His second and third meeting too is same and shows how uncreative the director and the scriptwriter could be.
With this starts the most boring and uninteresting love story where Mallika slaps Ranbri almost every minute. The scenes where she orders him to walk in her sandals, get her rose (by stealing) on a cycle which does nt have a seat, etc etc have been TRIED to be shown as romantic and cute but are utter disaster and unbearable.
Both fall in love and do not admit it to each other, and to Kabir's surprise, Kuhu walks out suddenly from his life to never return. The director even tries the Pyar Ke Side Effects style of breakup which was original and intense, here he fails to create any spark at all. Kabir waits for Kuhu who disappears to Kolkata for 2 years to forget both her previous boyfriend and Kabir who reminded her of him al the time. Kabir like a devdas waits for her and posts his love messages in a coffee parlour and also on the terrace where they usually went. Kuhu comes back to Mumbai, and is introduced to Gaurav Puri (special apperance) by her parents. bla bla bla, and she realizes that she loves kabir and returns to him....The special appearance of Zeenat Aman playing the role of matchmaker in the final scenes of the movie is irritating too, and it seemed as if she has forgotten how to act / face the camera. I am so sorry for being so ruthless and unforgiving guys.

The portion of the movie wheere Mallika writes script which Ranbir imagines happening around him are reallt disgusting.

Talking about the good things, i personally liked only two
1) the song "Yaad tu aaye" and
2) The acting of Mallika's mom where she is trying to speak in a typical erotic bengali woman, she finally brought out some smiles out of me (may nt b enjoyed by al, specially by people from outside bengal)
All in all do i need to conclude , i dont think so i have already written enough about the CRAP above.
And yes the movie as its tagline has only 99 slaps and 1 kiss (which no would actually wait for coz the kiss comes in the end with the cast and titles) and nothing else

Love
SA
