Movies
Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna Unconvincing. If this movie had been made without the stars, I don't think many people would have seen it. The characters aren't quite convincing. I didn't at all sympathize with either Rani Mukherjee's or Shahrukh Khan's character. A disappointment overall.
Khosla ka Ghosla Every once in a while such a movie comes and surprises you. I didn't know much about the movie except the Kailash Kher Chak de Phatte song. The first half of the movie was a little gloomy showing the common man's frustrations in India when it comes to corruption etc. But the second half was quite cool, funny and not gloomy. A must watch.
When a Stranger Calls Boring. Dumb movie. Enough said.
Taxi no 9211 I knew this was loosely based on Changing Lanes but the story was well written. I expected it end when Nana Patekar and John Abraham sit down for a drink. But then, the director decided to put in a happy ending, malai maar ke.
Dhoom 2 Dump. Soporific. I went to sleep after half an hour.
Talladega Nights There is a fine line between funny and stupid. This movie hops and skips across this line.
Ahista Ahista How can they make a movie without anything in it. Boring. Abhay Deol's monotone was offset by an interesting story in Socha na Tha. Doesn't quite work here.
Parinda I had seen bits and pieces of this movie on TV earlier. A well-made but very dark movie.
Woh Lamhe The second Mahesh Bhat-Parveen Babi based movie. Average. Google tells me that Shiney Ahuja studied in SXD for 2 years. I wonder which batch.
Angrez A stupid NRI movie. Some scenes of the two rival gangs were funny.
Crank A weird movie. Probably the first to use Google Earth! I wonder how I sat through the movie.
Bas Ek Pal As my roommate puts it, a very unorthodox movie. A simple story to begin with, but manages to interconnect all characters.While watching the movie I was hoping that it was an original, but it turns out to be a copy of a Spanish movie Carne trémula
