Movie Review-Bachna Ae Haseeno

Comes to the relief of Yash Raj banner a tolerable Movie- Bachna Ae Hasseno, after the disaster created by Thoda Pyar thoda magic..

Sidharth Anand(Director) has been successful in enticing the audience atleast in the first half of movie and messes up the second...Read on to know how and why..

Movie revolves around a guy – Raj (Ranbir Kapoor) whose character had nothing new, Name of Character played by Sharukh Khan in half a dozen movies and Fame of Salman Khan, a playboy, but Ranbir has been successful in doing justice with the character.
He looks fresh and sensible too. Raj keep hunting for girls which he calls “Shikar” since he was 18 years old. His first Love strikes in form of a sweet Punjabi girl - Mahi( Minisha Lambha), who is over romantic and over filmy, Minisha have performed brilliantly in the first half she looks fresh, bright, joyfull, and everything which director would have dreamt of about Mahi’s Character. Raj’s Second Love come in form of Radhika (Bipasha Basu), Sidharth Anand has some how confused the audience about the character of Radhika, from being in Live in relationship for 1.5 years for her career to suddenly deciding of leaving everything(including her career) for Raj. Bipasha is looking hot in the movie and have portrayed her part well. Raj’s Third and final love is Gaytri (Deepeka Padhuke). Gaytri is a taxi driver in Sydney- independent,ambitious and non believer in marriage. Deepika have atleast got some dialogues in this movie to prove she can speak, (remember her single dialogue in Om Shanti Om) ,She have delivered them well too. All the actors have done their part above average with Minisha being exceptionally well. Second half of the movie is very haphazard and somehow you get a feeling that may be director was running short of time or Producer short of Money or both, Movie ends too fast, with Mahi forgiving Raj very easily and Raj getting Gaytri very smoothly. Second half of the movie kills all expectations that arose from the first half. Music of the movie has been good and fresh with Ranbir’s dance adding charm to it. Screenplay has

been very average with no new locations other than an exciting ride amidst snow(the one in the picture). I rate this movie 3/5
. The movie is watchable once.

I am over FRIENDS, crazy abt HIMYM now....




Hey guys,

After FRIENDS i was nt sure if i cd enjoy a soap so much, and that killed all my interest in TV....As a matter of fact i spend less than 15 mins only in a day on TV....And then Abhishek, got me to watch an episode of "How i met your mother" 15 days back, and its been crazy since....If i am home i am watching one of its episode....14 days and i am over wid 2 seasons....Unlike FRIENDS it has 3 seasons by far, and i am reaching its end pretty steadily.....Its so awesome that i am sending a copy of season 1 to all my special people in Calcutta.....I think i am in love wid ROBIN, gf of the protagnist in the serial....She makes the viewing al the more special...

ROBIN, she looks like KATRINA, but is an amazing gal, i wish of a gf wid such an attitude

In contrast to FRIENDS where i liked half the people and hated Rachell and Ross, here i love all of them and specially ROBIN, Barney and Lily...Ted is a gal material and Marshall is awesome in parts....Dont knw if i shd go slow, bt its so irresistible that unless i am done watching 3-4 episodes a day, i dnt get the sleep....I even carry its episodes on my ipod and watch it in the office when i am relatively idle...I think i wil watch one of its episodes now, since i am reminded of whr i left it yesterday....

Love

Movie Review- Goodwill Hunting (1997)


lifewaitsfornone recommends this movie to all our dear readers.

Yesterday night I watched Good Will Hunting starring Matt Damon, Robbin Williams, Ben Affleck. Movie starts with MIT - maths classes where the prof.( forgot his name though) asks the students to solve some very difficult problem which nobody could. Damon works as a sweeper in the university and
solves the problem after the class without disclosing to anybody. He gets caught in his act by the prof. when he does it 2nd time. Other than working as a sweeper,Damon likes to hang out with his friends partying in bars,( Ben Affleck and 2 other guys- who all are most ordinary guys) goes out, fights in the streets, gets into the jail, leads life in the most casual manner.
The prof. of MIT kept an eye on Damon. Once when Damon was taken to court for his activities, he was bailed by the prof. with the condition that Damon would visit the prof. once a week and has to sit for councelling.
This is were the story starts and sorry folks ,am not going to disclose what happens next.
At some stage I wondered what the heck does this movie wants to tell. I didnt understand each and every stage of the movie as well ( am being honest) and if you ask I dont have the answer to tell you why I liked the movie but I felt its good, very good actually.
Technically speaking, the dialogues are very interesting. Damon and Robbin Williams plays their character wonderfully well. The camera work is excellent in my opinion. Also, there is one wonderful kissing scene ( sorry, but felt it was wonderful).
What I felt that this movie is worth watching ( I finished it at 2 o'clock) and if anybody has already seen it he/she would definitely agree with me.
If the review is too confusing for you ( which I think it is), I would be ready to answer your queries.
Thanks
Deep

Lost my GIFT, feeling miserable

I think i am getting worse when it comes to forgetting things....Yesterday when i returned home after a rather tiring overnight journey, i was carrying two bags and one amazing Photo Frame that i bought from Jaipur. On reaching home, i had to leave the frame on the ground so as to open the lock, but like a dumb ass i barged in and went off to sleep leaving the frame there....I went to the office and came back home in the evening to go in for a desperate serach inside the house....Later i realized that i had left the frame outside, and someone had taken it away....

The frame could hold 6 photos, and each photo would make the alphabets FAMILY....We had spent more than a couple of hours selecting and pasting pics in the frame, and after a tiff with Manisha Bhabi i even managed to pick up two amazing pics from her album, one which had me, Sam and Manish Bhaiya with Mom dad when we were probable 2-3 year old, and another had me and Sam when we were studying in Mussoorie....I may never get those photos back, and i am feeling miserable abt myself....

Anyway, wil be more careful next time....I can just pray that the person who has taken the frame will come back some day and leave those pics at my door, FILMY, yeah thats the way i think....

Love
