Before I start telling you something about this movie, let me tell you why did I shortlist this movie on my watchlist? Actually, no special reason but only thing I considered that its a Ashutosh Gowarikar film & definitely the theme sounds interesting. I thought movie will be a sensible & worth watching atleast once. So with these minimal expectations I went for the movie. But trust me, it was so pathetic that I could not even imagine that Mr. Gowarikar can make such a non-sense movie. Seriously no sense at all. If you are bachelor & expecting this movie might help you to see different types of girls mapped to respective rashees then, its going to be a big fiasco.

Movie is stuffed with 13 hindi songs. Ohh! Man… just imagine 13 typical bollywood songs. Let’s suppose if an average song lasts for 4 & half minutes that means you are made to listen only songs for more than 58 minutes i.e. almost one hour. No need to mention, very ordinary songs…Ahhhhhhh!!! And guys in the multiplex you don’t have option to switch to the other channel like the one on your TV. At the max what can you do? Just close your eyes…Yes I did

I’m still wondering why Mr. Gowarikar could not find 12 different girls to represent 12 different rashees? In the whole movie, you will see the same well-known face of Priyanka Chopra with different hairstyle, different make-up, different costumes. Come on man, we are here to see how the rashee has influence on a person’s behavior, not how the same girl can be made to behave differently,look differently? And personally I could not a find match between the on-screen girl & a real-life girl with the same rashee.

If somebody bets with me, I can see this movie entirely with no smile on my face with complete serious look, such a bad comedy. Harman’s Nanaji, keeps on giving him the same funda “Beta, tumhare umr me sab ladkiya ek jaise hi dikhti hai, jo tumhare sapno ki rani hoti hai (Son, at your age, all girls look the same, which actually resembles to your dream girl) ” Come on Nanaji!!! Be practical, if all girls look the same at our age, I guess all my bachelor friends would have been married by this time, perhaps me too

Harman better luck next time, I don’t think Priyanka, alone can save this movie & Someone should tell Mr. Gowarikar, please try to pick up with the fast age, its 21st century, stop making lengthy movies, 4 hours is simply nothing but a mental torture. 

P.S. All the opinions are explicitly my view about this movie, with no influence of any external or third party.

P.P.S. I’m wondering why Lara Dutta has started giving bold scenes these days, is she scared that she is at the end of her career?

“Slumdog Millionaire” so finally today I watched this movie. Though, the storyline is familiar, all actors have done their job excellently. Hats off to Mr. A. R. Rahman for excellent music composition once again. But apart from this,I was still wondering why is this movie being discussed so much? I mean I personally did not find anything really outstanding or different in this movie. No I do not mean that movie is not good, yes its good but what’s so different in this movie that made its way to Oscars. I mean, personally, there are so many nice movies which are different & unique but unfortunately those movies could impress only local crowds in respective countries. In fact this is what Mr. Madhur Bhandarkar (India) has shown in his “Traffic Signal” but I don’t think that movie was appreciated as much as this one. In the whole movie Mumbai slum areas and dirty areas of Mumbai has been shown nothing else. Not even a single snapshot of Marine drive or south Mumbai has been shown. Come on Mr. Danny Boyle every coin has 2 sides then why could not you show the other side of the coin & yes,You could have done that. Atleast when the small guy says “We’ll leave in big house on Harbour road…” Why can’t you show the Harbour road of Mumbai? Let world know the other side of the coin. Let me describe you one more incident in the movie.

One foreigner couple came to India to see Taj Mahal. The poor guy is acting as a tourist guide but for some reason, cab driver starts beating this poor guy. Oh!!! then this foreigner lady comes forward to save guy and asks driver not to beat the guy then the guy says “You wanted to see a bit of real india? Here it is…” Come on!! I wasn’t aware of that. Probably I guess only Danny Boyle is the reason, this movie is running for the Oscars…

Definitely, as expected Music by A.R. Rahman is amazing & in fact all the actors in the movie done very well. Feeling really proud & nice that Indians have set a new benchmark but I’m really upset with the way Mumbai has been portrayed in this movie.

I totally agree with Mr. Priyadarshan’s comments on this movie.Click Here to see what Mr. Priyadarshan said In fact I’m not sure but few days back I heard Mr. Bachchan also wrote something on his blog, that was absolutely correct but I guess for some reason Mr. Bachchan had to clarify his statements, that was very unfortunate.

If you ask my opinion about this movie, I’ll give it 3 star, that too only for background scores & actors. I personally feel movie is good but it could have been better since its incomplete & oriented towards the bad side of the city. Biased direction. I feel, its not the real Mumbai, its not the real India What Danny Boyle has shown on screen. In my opinion, Mr. Danny Boyle, you do not know what the real India & real Mumbai is all about…

As monday was holiday, I was watching star screen awards late sunday night. I believe this award function is one of the most reputed ceremony so obviously I was expecting lots of entertainment. Somehow it was going well also but poor comedy by Sajid Khan & his sister got into everyone’s head. I dont think anybody was enjoying that. I was only considering some performances by some sizzling actresses but Ashutosh Gowarikar could not control & burst out on Sajid. I totally understand his anger. Sajid was really beyond the limits of poor jokes so it was very obvious that a gentleman like Ashutosh Gowarikar was definitely not going to accept that crap. I feel poor jokes upto certain limit are okay but definitely what Sajid was doing sunday night, was beyond the limit. I guess you guys will also agree with me. Since I did not find anything to laugh on those PJs. So very obvious how Mr. Gowarikar was going to accept that? Check out what Ashutosh Gowarikar actually said : Click here

Apart from this, I was wondering Amir did not get award for Ghajini which atleast I was expecting but anyways I guess even Hritik was also outstanding in Jodha Akbar. Another noticeable thing on this ceremony was Akhay Kumar did not accept his popular choice award since he felt Amir was the only deserving person of that trophy. So Akshay gave away to Amir. Great spirit man!!! Check out more details

Today, I watched Raaz2. Very ordinary movie. If someone has watched this movie, could you please tell me, is this a horror movie, romantic story or just a funny sequence? In short I’ll tell you guys, Raaz-1 was better than this. Now if you rate Raaz-1 as an average movie then you can guess what I’m talking about.

In whole movie there are hardly few minutes (yes literally I mean few minutes) which you might find scary, but that too depends. If you find a pair of hands emerging from a bathtub to hurt the girl taking bath Or lamps going off or flickering horrible then probably you will find those scenes scary. But if you are expecting this movie full of terrified scenes then really not worth.

And even one step further you might find certain scenes/sequences very funny at a moment. The whole storyline is around a man’s revenge who wanted to shut down a polluting pesticide plant but he was murdered.This dead man’s spirit tortures actress just beacuse she has ambition to be rich at any cost & not bothered being morally or immorally.Oh!!! Come on.

Not worth at all. Probably in few months movie might be premiered on TV then you can take a look but not worth wasting 3 hours in theatres.
