I didnt like SRK's acting. He was not consistent. Some scenes he acted well but many a times either he over-did or under-did the autistic bit. Infact, the young SRK dazzled me with his autistic acting. First one, not the second young one. Kajol was wonderful as usual but in some places she was shrieking through the roof. Wish i carried some cotton pads. No doubt some places both of 'em have a great chemistry. Story was main culprit, total crap. Elaborate racism shown which was not the case in US. Infact, Sikhs went through a lot of issues then muslims due to their appearance. Infact, if i compare, Kurbaan was much tigher, better storylined and fantastic to watch for this subject. Songs and Music was non-existent. Not a single hummable tune. Surprising, knowing its a KJ movie I felt like laughing when they showed SRK and troupe saving those folks in Whilhemina, Georgia. That entire bit was straight from a comedy movie. There was not a single US govt rescue office ( knowing their rapidity in response towards any calamity), if you notice only a circular area is water clogged near the church. How much more lame the story teller and director can be? As OSS mentioned, i was squirming in my seat right after intermission ( first half was OK) as its too darned long and asked mom and wifey atleast 4-5 times "can we go?" but, being the ladies they are who are fed hours of family drama on TV, they responded with a nasty glare at me.  2/5 ( I would have given this a dud, but there were some scenes of SRK and Kajol that's worth these 2 stars) | |

Watched " Road Movie" last evening It would be an understatement to say i was disappointed. This movie is so slow it can put art-movies to sleep. It falls in that genre ( dont know if such genre exists ) where each dialogue is blurted after a long pause keeping you on tenterhooks. Some scenes like that is good to build up your excitement. But, hello, i cant bear it for an entire movie. Story in gist, Abhay's father is into hair oil making business and expects his son to sell their products. Naturally, our dapper friend ain't interested so he goes on a ride to deliver an old chrysler to someone as a favour to his uncle. This beaten-up chrysler can also be turned into a movie screening machine. So movie is about how he endures this journey meeting a few interesting characters riding through parched desert and luring folks to watch cinema in exchange for " Water" and other small favours. This movie is about Abhay discovering himself and takes this journey to deliver the truck in exchange for "something" which you will know when you see the movie ! Cinematography is beautiful. Stark desert with blue skies and just a few objects in the frame. Abhay Deol was not his best in this movie. He has gone so thin, you would think he is from Ethopia. However, Satish Kaushik stole the show with his endearing smile That young fella ( Mohammad Faizal) was hilarious in a few scenes I particularly loved one scene at the end of movie between Abhay and Yashpal Sharma which was funny like hell ( you know a comedy scene with a straight face types) and kind of a mock-up advertisement and my rating slightly tilted upwards for this crazy scene. Tanishita Chatterjee was dark, hot, sultry to the core! Overall, entire movie's length is only 1.40 minutes but, is so slow that I'll bet you will look at your watch a few times. Not to mention the multiplex was almost half empty on the first day itself. Dev Benegal we aren't yet ready for such un-conventional films yet  1.5/5 ( Just for a few hilarious scenes) | ||||

| Senior - BHPian  | atithi tum kab jaoge a light-hearted movie that makes you smile, cry and makes you emotional at various points of time. the comedy is quite situational and also has funny one-liners. the screenplay also has devotional scenes which is smartly injected into the story and it makes the graph go higher. the acting is exceptional, paresh rawal steals the show, ajay devgan acts superbly, konkana sen is a natural, satish kaushik is good too. music is on the situational side and neither pleases nor bores. on the whole, the movie is sensible, light comedy, humor and has strong flow of emotion at various points of screenplay making this a must watch with family. for once we get a feel good movie after 3-idiots. 4/5. 1 less because of songs and some unwanted scenes. |
