Well well i was so keen to watch Ishquiya that inspite of my daughter nt being too well i took a chance and went to see it on friday night 11pm show:) I must say i wasn't disappointed as its a delightful movie in terms of perforamnce, characterisation, setting and dialogues....the director, art director has done a marvellous job of bringing alive the real small town MP/UP and the script writer/dialogues writer in adding more reality by punching in some very interesting dialogues in colloqual langauge...on top of all these three main characters nasiruddin shah (the real badshah of acting in bollywood), arshad warsi and vidya balan have given some power packed performance...i am sure arshad & vidya will always be proud of this piece of work from them...however i feel where the movie disappointed me was its poor and ordinarily written script which could not compliment every thing else going right for the movie...so overall as u reach the climax u r left with a feeling..i wish the ...

Have not yet gathered the courage to watch Veer while i feel it might still be watchable...However did watch Sherlock Holmes...It was really a refreshing movie...which is well made, fast, funny and full of thrill and suspense... Honestly i had an image in my mind that Sherlock Holmes will be a serious charcter...bt here the characterisation of Holmes was witty, funny and complex bt not serious at all...the movies runs so fast and yet keeps u cnstntly thinking....the characters are well etched especially the character of Holmes and Robert Downey Jr. did a brilliant job...overall a very interesting movie to watch out....Do catch if u hvn't seen it yet...

By the previews of Veer the movie looks quite magnanimous in its look and feel. Its claimed that Salman is the writer/actor/producer and i guess partly director of the movie. Either this guy is very talented but doesn't look so or his father is helping him out but wants his son to claim the fame. I am finding it very hard to believe that Salman can write a script...not questioning his talent but his patience:)

these are some movies which may not be promoted very heavily due to low budgets but may be a worth a watch a. Striker - This is the comeback film for south hero 'Sidharth' after Rang De Basanti...Its based on a true life story of a malvani boy in Mumbai living in a society sarrounded by criminals but how he keeps himself away from him in the midst of all these...the movie is set in mumbai in 80's b. Road to Sangam - An interesting movie with actors like Paresh Raval & OmPuri in the lead...The movie is about a muslim mechanic who has got the job of repairing a Ford V8 engine....he doesn't know the significance of the car that it carried the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi to sangam....caught in the middle of a hindu muslim tension forced by political leaders (Om Puri/Pavan Malhotra) this poor mechanic is caught in the dilemma of whether to stick by his profession or his relgion...he doesn't hv a 3rd choice...

Papa Yash Chopra has lot of money and unfortunately his sons are not half as talented as he is. At least Aditya has got glimpeses of it but son Uday since childhood has been good for nothing....Most of the time he is chilling out, shaping his body in the gym....but sometimes when he really gets bored of the boredom of doing nothing...he tells 'papa' to make a movie for him......Childhood friend 'Jugal Hansraj' also like his friend was sitting at home and requested uday to let him direct the movie...Uday went to 'papa' and said that he wants to make a movie with dost jugal and they have a story too...all they want is money....'Papa' went thru the story and appreciated the brainless story a lot......He knew the story had nothing in it....But instead of disppointing uday he used his Baniya brain and convinced 'Priyanka' to play the role of a hottie in the movie....Since cost of the movie is not very high as actors and directors came free of cost oth...

The recent dish TV communication is pretty interesting. Every time i see it i am unable to comprehend what trigger is it leaving me to buy Dish TV...I understand that the logic the marketing team would give that the insight is that 'TV brings the family together'....Hence dish TV which has got something for everybody in the family.....The question is that had it been Coke or Pepsi where the category has nothing to establish as RTB and hence depends largely on 'Self Expressive Values' as the trigger and therefore brands are based on attitudes and insights with which the youth will connect...However thats the reality of the category bcoz its impulse purchase....But does the same logic works in a category like DTH where the monye spent is much higher than what u wld spend for connecting cable and therefore its important that a category insight is supported well by brand attributes.... Having said that i would also like to put across another POV which is that in a scenario ...

This is probably the first time when i did not enjoy Amir Khan in a movie...Not because he was not good in his role...But because he was to artificial in his acting....Amir who is known for his natural acting...someone who blends with a role....was rolling his eyes up and down right from the start because he had to enact that he was an extraordinary guy....that is definitely not the mark of a world class actor which he is...Anyways keeping aside Amir i believe the movie is extremely entertaining but lacks the class, the insight, high emotional connect, flow which Raju hirani's earlier movies had...especially some of the songs, scenes were too much of a stretch...especially the 'coming out of coma' sequence lacked believability.....the whole movie revolving around this wonder boy who is constantly giving great gyaan is good but not as touching and real as Munna Bhai was...After all in life not everybody knows whats his passion and not everybody succeeds in doing what he real...
