Movie review - A Wednesday

As usual, a lot of hype about two great actors (Anupam Kher and Nasruddin Shah) coming together after many many years. And what do we get - a movie which promises much, but does not deliver. Anupam Kher is one of the mos over-rated 'actors' in Bollywood. After the first few films, I feel he's even stopped trying to act. A very thin storyline, hackers, laptops, telecommunication equipment, weak script - put this all together and this movie is what you get. The only saving grace is Nasruddin Shah's dialogues towards the end of the movie, where he talks of the frustration of the common man. If you do not have anything to do, then you could go watch this movie, else you wont be missing anything. Rating - Can be missed

Movie review - Bachna Aaye Haseenon

Saw this movie two times. Absolutely mind-blowing. The songs are very lyrical. Ranbir Kapoor - is a natural in front of the camera. Deepika Padukone - dream beauty. Watch it a 2nd or 3rd time, if only to see her. She has the star quality, which most of the recent heroines miss. Bipasha - is ok. Nothing new. Same combination of cleavage and come-hither looks. Manisha Lamba - is the surprise package. Looks very talented. She is someone to look forward to - especially in sad roles. Rating - Definitely 'must watch'.

Movie review - Mumbai meri jaan

A very realistic movie. Realistic dialogies. Absolutely fanastic direction - see the opening scenes where they show how Mumbai evolved over the years - starting from a small window showing the 1940s-50s-60s and so on (and the screen size increases as we approach the 90s). Paresh Raval is impressive. Kay Kay has the same tired and hurt expression in all the movies. If you are looking for a song-and-dance movie, then this is not for you. If not, then you would love this movie. Rating - Must watch.
