Two latest bollywood flicks ....

All you lovely people out there! Here comes the first hand review of the two latest movies in the town - Kaminey n Love Aaj Kal. Nopes I am not comparing the two. As always like a sniffer dog I'll scrutinize ... Mind the stars after movie name.

Love Aaj Kal **
One time watch and total paisa vasool for the amount you spend on eating popcorn. Dont expect this movie to stay in your head or heart once you get out of the theater.

According to me and my fren the movie challenges the institution of Indian marriage. In country where both men and women are taught to stick to marriages despite of biggest differences this movie educates the youth about making a decision even after marriage.

Saif has grown old and is probably a wrong selection for the movie. Ranbeer kapoor or Kunal kapoor could have suited the scene better. Saif is definitely a NO NO to play the role of 22 year old. He must act his age.

Rishi kapoor has done justice to his role and so has his sweetheart Neetu Ji.


KAMINEY ***
Nice movie. This one would stay in your memories for sometime. A mix of adrinal rush and humor.

But the movie still has its shortcomings. Too much violence for women and kids. I noticed that many women had to watch the movie with their hands on eyes. Too much action, something women can hardly sustain.

Honestly, I am not someone who would advocate an action movie. This one is an exception.

Charlies character is too good. Someone who thinks only about himself and his family (Real Kamina). A bookie who wants to make quick buck and ......

His younger brother is too sweet but at times smart. At one point when he hits charlie to rescue his GF, I was amazed (that was beyond my expectation of that character)

Sweety is someone who can put anyone in trouble and knows the art of making things her way. Her extrovert behavior in the shaadi scene took my heart away.

At regular check points you would have sequences to make you laugh like -
  • guddu caught in police station and asked to narrate the story in sing song way.
  • sweety's prior booking of pandit ji and other requisites for wedding. While guddu is still grasping the fact that he is about to be a dad.

    STILL WONDERING : Y DID GUDDU ATTRACT ALL THE NUISANCE?? ANY THOUGHTS ??

    I would agree with you there that in Love Aaj Kal Saif didn't fit the role probably Ranbeer would have suited but over all for me it was a boring crap full with non-emotional drama for which even the pop-corns would taste bitter, as far as Kaminey is concerned it was one of the finest movies of Vishal as i already like his direction, he is just good, i would support Guddu instead of Charlie and taroona knows why ;)

    First thing, lets not call the above things "reviews"... these are more of "post-mortems"... :D

    And, i agree wid d "Love Aaj Kal" "review" coz even i felt that dere's so much of confusion/possibility-of-choices in aaj-kal's relationships and the freakin movie encourages it further... ki koi baat nahi, jo chahey try karo, coz, u can always revert nething netime... moreover, when saif returns to deepika, after an year or so, despite having the impression that she is married, then, it encourages the viewer to be selfish also... and its just not love... its like being forever self centred... agreed, thats alwayz d case in real-life (:P), but guyz, atleast d movie can be made more fairy-tale-like or ideal, if one wanted to make a love story... :)

    D other movie, i havent seen, but the review is defintely tempting me to see it... to be able to write a review on the review... lolz...

    Shubham ....
