The Movie Thread

I agree. I was mentally disturbed after seeing this absurdity. $25 and 4 hrs down the drain. This movie supposedly made 180 crores worldwide. 2nd biggest hit in history of Indian Cinema.

. Only thing that made me go to see it was the 'holay holay' song.

Just the way he dresses up.

So any one wearing clothes like that dope can enter the house etc without any issue.
Interesting. But I dont think they will release a movie based on this story.

I guess this concept really appeals to both Indian men and Indian women for different reasons.

ps - Priyanka Chopra looks HOT in that song of hers. Kareena & Deepika no match to her. *droool*

Well, unfortunately SRK is there for just 20-25 mins. Thats about it. Its Irfan's movie all the way, with a stunning performance from Lara Dutta. Watch out for this one.

Just finished watching Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Wow. What a movie. The story is so absurd and yet sucks you into it. Its the story of Benjamin Button who is aging in reverse. Growing younger with age is a common dream, but to actually make a movie out of it is something that only hollywood is capable of. Wonder when our apna bollywood will get so imaginative and creative!

Recently watched Changeling.Awesome movie.Great performances by Angie and John Malkovich.The performance by the lawyer(forget his name) is to die for in a brilliant cameo.Well what else can you expect from Clint Eastwood?Surprising that the movie itself wasn't nominated for an Academy Award but stunning nevertheless.A must see for all who appreciate the finer points of film making

Ironic that this movie is at a handful of theatres here in Mumbai but a horrid movie like CC2C is everywhere.Guess most of our folks prefer brainless comedies for obvious reasons

My brother saw Raaz 2 yesterday. While he said the movie was ok , he mentioned the ending was bad.

Gautam any insights?? Did you watch it?

Well that explains all the oscar nominations its got (13). Btw I was just thinking what an upset of sorts will it be when apni SM quashes it at the oscars. 150 mn$ versus 15mn$. It will be like David vs. Goliath

Hmm - I wouldn't mind watching the movie, if SRK is there just for
20 minutes. That's probably the maximum time I can tolerate him.
