Movies.. Finally!!

Finally they are coming to a conclusion over the tu-tu-main-main between producers and multiplex owners. God knows if whatever they decide will be a feasible solution, I'm only looking forward to see new Hindi films..

The promos of Love Aaj Kal look fine. Saif, being one the producers, has spent a bomb on one particular TWIST song. No where near Rafi's eternal "Aao twist karen" though. I have always liked namma Bengaluru hudugi Deepika and will see this film surely.

Kambakht Ishq caught my attention thanks to a cameo by Sylvester Stallone. Title track looks and sounds good but "Bebo" is yuck, Kareena's worst performance after Don's "Yeh mera Dil" and Tashan's "Dance maare re". I hate Akshay Kumar and have no love lost for Kareena but if I could bear Tashan, surely I can watch this!! But hey, Kareena in a white mini wedding dress with a tiara looks good.

Since his Ishq Vishq days, I thought Shahid was cute and I saw the terrible Kismat Konnection because I believe and still do, that Shahid is cute!! No matter how brawny he gets or how much he apes the King Khan, he'll remain an eternal cutie is my opinion. Looking forward to Paathshala (opp Complan girl Ayesha Takia) and Kaminey (opp Miss Oomph Priyanka Chopra). Heard there is sizzling chemistry between Shahid and Piggy Chops, almost bordering on sleaze!! But good boy Shahid plays a much adored school teacher in Paathshala.

As much as I hated Chetan Bhagat's Five Point Someone, I will see its movie adaptation Three Idiots because its a film by Ace Khan Aamir, shot at namma IIM-B campus. Aamir will do justice to what ever role he picks, no doubt and he is playing the narrator Hari. Maddy might just pull off playing Alok but Sharman Joshi for Ryan Oberoi?? And Kareena Ka"pooh"r for Neha?? Give me a break!! But still I will watch it..

I saw them first when I was barely eight, and have not stopped looking at them till now!! The film was Baazigar and the scene was SRK coming out of a red sports car. Kajol looked enthralled, though I was ogling more enthralled than Kajol herself!! SRK shakes his head sprinkling sweat all around and Kajol's heart misses a beat, mine stopped beating I confess.. "Zindagi mein kabhie kabhie jeethne ke liye kuch haarna padta hain, aur haar ke jeethne walon ko Baazigar kehte hain!!" Pheeee, pheee, clap, clap, clap... Kajol was merely emoting while I stood trance like, having found my knight in shining armor, my prince charming and the undisputed love of my life!! The whole world agreed that SRK looks best with Kajol than any other leading ladies and I developed a tender for her..

That was just a preface for Karan Johar's next film My Name Is Khan starring SRK and Kajol. Set in the backdrop of the 9/11 massacre, SRK plays an autistic Muslim and Kajol plays his wife, both facing the brunt of being Muslims in a hostile no man's land!! Deviant from KJo's usual family and "gay" themes, this is one of the most awaited films of the year..

Dulha mil gaya is yet another release of my chveetoo SRK this year. Promising to be a laugh riot, this has Sushmita Sen opposite SRK. He might have reached the wrong side of 40 but with his hard acquired six pack abs and his hamming (yeah, u heard me right!!) lover boy act, he still manages to bring most females in 7 to 70yrs range to a swoon.

I hated Hrithik when Kaho Naa Pyaar Hain was released and even more, when it became the year's biggest hit against a SRK's damp squib called Asoka. I called him unprintable names then and even got into fist fights with a few perfidious SRK-fan-turned-Hrithik-fan-recreants!! I hated myself for liking Fiza title track and even more for enjoying Mission Kashmir. Then K3G happened!! The sight of a teary younger brother wooing his big bro to return home softened my heart a bit. I found disastrous mistakes in Koi Mil Gaya (Sound waves traveling in vacuum? Falling in love to prove sanity?) And then Krrish happened. I followed closely Lakshya and waited for Dhoom-2, and unwittingly, the dancing genius had stolen a small place in my heart!!

I liked Jodha Akbar as much as I liked Swades. Umrao Jaan by Rekha was immortal; Ash trying the same became a standing joke!! Amitabh Bachchan as Don created a legend, SRK managed to pull it off but marginally only.. And Akbar's role immortalized to the likes of none other than Prithviraj Kapoor is a challenge to anyone of any caliber, and Hrithik simply dazzled!! Literally..

From Kaho Naa Pyaar Hain to Jodha Akbar, Hrithik has grown at an amazing rate, as an actor, as a dancer and as a dignified member of the film fraternity!! I'm desperately awaiting his biggest release till date, Kites, where he does what he does best, dance!! Yes, Hrithik plays a salsa dance instructor and the movie promises to be a treat for the eyes..

There are a few more releases lined up for this year. Like Priyanka Chopra and Harman Bhaweja starrer "Whats your rashee??" based on a popular gujju play and directed by the very talented Ashutosh Gowariker (who is lately oozing venom against just about everyone). And then there is the ever controversial Ram Gopal Verma's controversial "Rann" which shot to a controversial limelight for having controversially tweaked Jana Gana Mana!! Next is Kapoor Khandaan ka chirag Ranbir starring opposite the gorgeous Katrina Kaif in "Ajab prem ki gazab kahani" and not to forget, the once rocking Salman Khan's very own "Veer" and "Main aur Mrs.Khanna"

There are many, many more small time releases too but not sure if they are all worthy of mention. That irrespective, I solemnly swear I'll watch as many films as I can and whenever possible!! Cheers... :)
