Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

For the brats who live in a world of 140 characters.... Ek Baar dekh lo yaar..

For the more discerning ones with ample patience... Read on..

First of all lemme just say that if possible leave kids at home or else be prepared for some awkward questions. Particularly when scenes hit first base. If you know what I mean. Wink! Wink! 😃

There is off the charts chemistry between Ranbir and Anushka and they too good together. They are helped by hilarious dialogues and the super comic touch of Lisa Haydon. We need to see more of this lady.

Anushka is fabulous. I have never seen her look so good. She is the Lady in Red...

Ranbir proves yet again what a fine actor he is.

The locales are exotic and time just sped away till the interval. Which had me wondering why it was that the critics were being so harsh.

Ahhhhhh then came Ms. Bachchan and I understood. After that its all downhill and nothing can save this movie. This, dear parents is also when things awkwardly touch 2nd base.. :-) :-)

Come on KJo...

Is the only angst you know that of father and son?

Where is the intensity the first half... The droll wit, the tongue in cheek humor?

SIgggghhh....

Well I guess everyone has forgotten how to make love stories.

I am shattered. This movie had so much potential and the second half just sucked.

Soooooooo bad....

But the first half is wow!

Specially for the Ranbir and Anushka fans.

This movie could be a reflection of the times we live in or then maybe not...

But that's a thought for another day.

So till then Happy Diwali..

Good Beginnings!

Just created a space for myself and dont know what to write here. But do know that i needed a space to vent,to muse,to express,to generally be silly! Lets see how it goes!

Thappad

Thappad The prelude to the aria that is Thappad, is a dizzying runabout of a homemaker's humdrum daily chores. It serves to establish the roles each character has established for themselves. The husband played by newbie, Pavail Gulati is wonderfully self-obsessed and completely oblivious to anything but his own needs. The wife played by Tapsee Pannu ( as if we didn't know! Ha ha!) is on the other end of the spectrum. She is hyper aware of the needs of all those around her and revels in being needed and being able to be of service. The nuances that are written into the script are sheer brilliance. Consider the opening montage introducing the main characters to us. The wife being driven about, the girlfriend being received with love and finally a super successful lawyer finding freedom in hanging out a car window. The conversation that ensues between all of them, sketches skillfully the back stories of the lot of them. The movie is far from being a chest beating comment...

Good things come in threes!

For me, good things come in threes………. And yet again, three things that made my week and will for certain go on to make my weekend. A web series – The Ba***ds of Bollywood. This is such a fun ride. I must start with the mockery that is made of the entire Sameer Wankhede incident. They found an actor who closely resembles the real-life officer; it is hilarious. It is just good fun, and should be taken in that spirit, forget the cries of nepotism; I know of generations who practice the same profession repeatedly, so let us give this one a rest, shall we? It has all the ingredients of a bhel puri, and they are used well. So do not watch this one expecting caviar. We have seen Raghav Juyal and Lakshya Lalwani slug it out in Kill and show very good chemistry, so also in this one. One brilliant scene is the one in which the protagonist scares the heebie-jeebies out of a critic, who is totally modeled on Rajeev Masand. Too much fun! And such swagger! And ah Bobby Deol, the phoenix – what...
