The reason I kept this lousy title for this post is because wherever I go these days, I see her pictures everywhere!It started in June, with the release of her 'Love Story' 2050 and God, Tussi Great Ho, and even after Dostana, she just doesn't seem to slow down. Well, I know she's selling like hot cakes these days, inspite of the Global Financial meltdown, but how much in too much??!
Coming back to the movies I thought I would touch upon, Fashion and Dostana, well, before that, let me tell you, Mumbai Meri Jaan was an awesome movie. It did end up earning a standing ovation, which neither of the movies I am about to discuss could even think of.
Anyway, Fashion first, I think the music was very nice, especially the Instrumental thing playing at the beginning of the movie. And even the research and the imitation of a few designers were good. But somehow, I was a bit tired of the movie after 2 hours, and thought I would've enjoyed it more if Madhur Bhandarkar could have cut it short. It did touch upon subjects like 'Marriage of convenience' and how casting couch is more prevalent in the male modelling industry, but the shining star which came out, according to me was Kangana Ranaut, a brilliant actor this millennium has seen (after ofcourse, Shahana Goswami from Rock on).
All in all, I think it was worth the hype. I was only worried about Raghavendra Rathod (the only straight designer of our country), whose family might get disturbed seeing the movie which informs all designers are effeminate/gay!!
Dostana, on the other hand was a movie that promised everybody something! And guess what, it did give everybody their fair share of the pie. Be it Priyanka Chopra's bikini shots, John Abraham's butt shots, or the idea of bringing Homosexuality on the table for discussion in normal households. My friends and I couldnt stop ourselves from clapping when we saw a 6 feet 3inch pansy man running with his arms swinging from one side to another(Abhishek Bachchan, the bollywood royalty).
Kirron Kher was spectacular, so was Boman Irani(an understatement) and after a long time, humour was not farse on the indian screen. I loved it from the beginning to the end and would suggest everybody to go see it.Next, would be Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye!! And James Bond, no consolation for you from my side.
