Movie Review : Guzarish

Guzarish is a bad movie. Period. But still, lets discuss it.. Positive is just one, its a visual treat to watch. A Catholic Goan background, very grand in its scale, a beautiful green landscape, an old Victorian house, Aishwarya and her Sabyasachi costumes, they are all very pretty. I think its just that which helped me sit through the whole movie! But negatives are many. The issue of euthanasia has been handled in an amateur manner, with an end result not justified anywhere in the movie. The pace of the movie is slow and boring at many places. The acting is also very unreal and fails to connect. Aishwarya as always looks fabulous but she still can't act. Hritik also tries, but somehow misses it. His two dance sequences look like its a female dancing.. !! As an aside, given what Hritik is, shouldn't he concentrate more on masala movies for now? Where he uses his drop dead good looks and dancing skills to a better use? He can do these serious movies later on in his care...

Bhagat Tara Chand

I had been hearing for ages about the awesome food that you can eat at some place called BTC (Bhagat Tara Chand).. A friend used to go there every weekend apparently and raved about it all the time.. So I decided to check it out for myself if it was worth all the praise and what a worthy revelation it was!! BTC is located in Kalbadevi area in Mumbai and serves Sindhi food. However, there are five-six shops in that area all of which use the same name!! Its tough to find the original one now:). My guess is it used to be one famous eating place earlier and now after family feuds and splits, all the brothers use the same name for their own shops. Apparently all of them serve similar food, so you can try any of them. On the outside they don't seem impressive, but you just need to go in once to know what they offer!! Anyways, first of all, reaching this place is a nightmare! Its near the Mumba devi temple in Kalbadevi and is one of the most crowded areas in Mumbai. The cab driver may jus...

Movie Review : Do Duni Char

What a welcome change and what a pleasant and enjoyable movie! Thats the feeling you will leave the theatre with, when you watch 'Do Duni Char'! A simple story about a middle class 'Duggal' family's roller coaster ride to get a new car for the house. Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh's pleasant husband-wife chemistry is cute. Neetu Singh gives such a fine performance, her acting is such a pleasure to watch. The typical kids, fighting with each other, making mistakes and growing up along the way are fun too. The Delhi setting, the relatives, the neighbours, the show-offs, the roads, the punjabi accented 'svere svere', the family fights, the relatives senti, the neighbourly issues! A nice depiction of the daily life of the family, nothing out of the ordinary but still a well delivered fare. Would give the movie 3 stars for good entertainment value.
