Time flies. And flies fast! It looks as if 2007 had just begun, but here we are quite close to bidding farewell to it. So just thought of walking down the memory lane....
Aap kaa Suroor, The movie
If you have not yet seen this movie and someone recommends you to watch saying that it is really good, please retort by telling “Oh Jhoot Nahi Bol na!”
Never go with your thinking cap on for this movie… You are doomed! But don’t you worry; the CAP is already in its rightful place! This movie answered a question that was pestering me for a long time and which was very much pertinent to our profession… How can a HR gas (through his nose) and yet be successful?? ?
One thing that everyone said quite uniformly after seeing the movie was, “ITS A MISTAKE!!!”
Shootout at Lokhandwala
This movie should have ideally been titled “Blackout for Dheknewala”. It completely blacks you out… Reports say that people who went to watch this movie returned home in an Ambulance!
The only watchable 5 minutes of the movie was the song “Ganpat”. The filmmaker confuses the audience between “Fact and Fiction” effectively making a “Faction”! As in, you dont know which part to believe and which not to.
The movie is a STRICT NO for pregnant women and heart patients. For the rest it is just a NORMAL NO!
Fool and Final
Have you ever wondered how it feels to stand in hot sun during peak summer at 12:00 Noon for 2 hours continuously on one leg with oil on your head? Then all you need to do is watch this movie for 15 minutes! Because both have the same effect. It drives you painfully crazy. As the name of the movie indicates, anyone watching this movie can be deemed to be a Fool and that is Final!
S.O.S (Oh sorry!) O.S.O
This movie as most of you might know has its root in Karz… But for an average viewer this movie is quite close to a curse! It is just that the movie is a bit ahead of its time. Had it come some 25 years down the line, may be it would have been more believable!!!
Though Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika “Sandy from Bangalore ” Padukone try to be the saving grace of the movie, the script doesn’t help much. Entire Bollywood minus Aamir Khan entertaining the audience in one song is really enjoyable!
To summarize… OSO is just so so!
Saawariya
“Savariya” in Tamil means “Are you dying?”! Quite relevant question to ask anyone who watches this movie. Think the movie was made in the wrong language!
Metro
Is your love life tormenting you?
Do you think that you have had enough of problems and you can take no more?
Are you unable to come out of a break up and get along with life?
Then this movie is a one stop shop for you! On one hand, it solves your problem and makes you feel better. But on the other hand, it shows you thousand other problems to initiate new worries! Viewer discretion is strictly recommended.
Awaarapan
With a new look Emran Hashmi, this movie was a decent watch. Shreya who was extremely blessed in starring along with Superstar Rajnikanth in “Sivaji - The Boss” has shown a lot of maturity in her acting! (No, I am not biased!)
Chak De India
The sport of Hockey is pleading “Cheque De India”, but all that Bollywood could give was “Chak De India”. This movie saw a dazzling performance by Shah Rukh “Six Pack” Khan! It is definitely a wonderful entertainer. This movie is being followed by “Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal”. Seeing the excellent response to sports based movies, Hollywood script writers are now busy creating the next sequel for Star Wars called “Return of the Ghilli Dhand”. In this movie, people from planet Earth learn the “Mars” Version of “Ghilli Dhand” and beat the aliens in the neutral venue of “Jupiter”! That must be a wonderful watch.
GOAL
The movie is all about how a once famous club called SouthHall United regains its glory. If you are a football fan... Don't watch it! The movie teaches you something very fundamental. The combination of aggression and emotion can be very humourous!
All that I can say is, South Hall United... Cinema Hall Split!
Cash
Yeah... That is exactly what the producer lost in making this movie! The movie has everything… Good songs, Great action sequence, Good looking star cast. Everything…. Except a story!
Aag
(Bh)aag!
Darling
This film should definitely be watched on the first day – first show… Because you don’t know if it will last the second day! The movie is really scary. Yeah... you get totally scared thinking what has become of such a good director!
After seeing the song “aa khushi se”…. Nisha kHOThari has definitely led the “Khushi” boy commit kuthkushi! Frankly, if you are an actor with some career aspirations, this movie is definitely suicidal!
Jhoom Barabar Jhoom
Seeing the film, it looks like after paying everyone the producer did not have any money left to pay the music composer. Hence as a tactical move, the same song “Jhoom Barabar Jhoom” has been used deftly by the filmmaker through out the movie!
It must have rightly been named “Doom barabar Doom”!
Jhonny Gaddar
By the end of this movie no character is alive. The director kills everyone thinking that he doesn’t have to pay them for their role. In fact, this is the fate after the script was revised. In the initial script even the “light boys” and “make-up” men where killed!
Just kidding…. The movie has a great plot and a wonderful script. It is one decent thriller with a strong story line. No, I am not biased because of the origin of the director / producer!
Jab We Met
For Shahid and Kareena, “Jab we met” symbolizes “Jab we will meet no more”. But the movie is a good watch. It is a mindless comedy. Yeah Kareena and Shahid have indeed broken the Jinx of giving flops together… Now they can begin with a clean slate… to put it in other words, they can begin with a Saa(i)f slate!
Hey Baby
How do you make a movie without a story a big hit? The answer is very simple. Pack the entire glamour available in Bollywood in one song! The formula is simple, powerful and quite effective.
But yes, the movie was a decent comedy. It is indeed worth watching once. Akshay “Khiladi” Kumar won’t let you down.
Bhool Bhulaiya
Are you a South Indian director who gives Box Office hits?
Are you worried that your movies and talent seldom reaches Bollywood?
Don't worry... There is one person who takes all South Indian hit movies to the Bollywood. He will take care of the rest! But yeah... Akshay Kumar has again played a stellar role. It is a good entertainer all in all!
Partner
When the song “Do you want a Partner” is played on the screen, the operator heard some one shouting a desperate “YES”. It is quite understandable. Anyone would be scared to be in such a huge theatre all alone.
But the song sequences are extremely good and the choreography is equally well made.
But don’t even compare Partner with Hitch,
People might call you Son of a B*tch!
(Just tried my hands at poem writing!)
Conclusion:
All in all this year was a mixed bag for Bollywood... Some movies clicked while some didn't. Anyways, looking forward to for a great year ahead with more interesting, exciting and entertaining movies!
