Want to explore some Bollywood hotness? A John Abraham recommendations list

[dangermousie]

OK, watching Salaam-e-Ishq reminded me how much I love John Abraham, arguably the hottest guy anywhere evah. Who also happens to be a Bollywood star (he and fiancée Bipasha Basu should be mandated to have children for the sake of genepool).

I will love you forever for this post!

Deal :)

Btw, which one is your fave?

I agree with most of your choices. I liked Karam very much and I think it's one of the most underrated Bollywood films. I thought he was wonderful in Jism (even though it was his first) but I can't say which movie is his best. He is usually excellent in Bhatt movies (Jism, Saaya, Paap and Aetbaar). He makes a very good villain as we have seen in Aetbaar, Zinda and Dhoom. As for your list I would rate Jism higher and replace Elaan with Aetbaar. I have enjoyed all of his movies except for the horrible Lakeer (what was he thinking!).

I love that he is open to different ideas and does not want to do big budget movies all the time. (http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2007/jan/31slide1.htm)

I haven't seen Aetbaar actually. Is it good? I do want to check it out (though the highest on my list of JA movies I haven't seen in Saaya).

Jism is lower on the list mainly because I love the original, Double Indemnity, so much.

I actaully generally really like his choice of movies. Most of them seem interesting.

I actually own Lakeer for the sheer pretty, beat-up factor but I haven't watched it yet. I guess I shouldn't hurry.

I am glad someone else likes Karam. I think it's an excellent movie but is very not Bollywood so I could see why it died at the box office, but I really wish it had more of a recognition. It's beautiful.

I confess Zinda freaked me out.

Great picspam :). I notice there are quite a few new JA films that I should check out. Of the films I've seen, I think I would rank them in the following order:

1. Karam - I loved the darkness and the cinematography. The visual quality of this film is just beautiful.
2. Paap. That girl's daydreams sure were vivid *g*. I'm all for a film where a wounded John Abraham has to go most of the movie shirtless.
3. Jism. Haven't seen the original, and I quite liked the John / Bipasha chemistry.
4. Saaya. I haven't seen the original film (Dragonfly) and I quite liked this film about a man who is haunted by images of his dead wife and is trying to find out what happened to her. This was my first JA film and I like his performance in it.
5. Dhoom. JA & motorbikes. Niiice.
6. Water. He's nice in the film, but I'm shallow, which is why I like the above films more :).
7. Elaan. Yes, "Dil Mein Hulchul" is a *really* hot song. IIRC, I thought the John and Lara pair the most interesting in this film.
8. Lakeer. It's gory and not that good, but I

I really like your list. And the order of it.

And I totally agree on Elaan: they were the most interesting thing in it.

Re: Paap. For a girl raised to be a nun, that girl had a heck of an imagination! Not that I would blame her.
