Boom (2003)
kyoon bhai... itni trajedy. :(
Had the displeasure of seeing Boom on a 150 bucks ticket yesterday. I rue my decision of watching a Hindi flick on a theatre after such a long time. Hindi Movie? Yup, for no understandable logic, even the PVR Priya ran the Hindi version of the Movie. OMFG this was a sad sad day. The movie was not a movie after all. More like a fashion show with some weirdo background thrown in. Whole of the movie was concentrated on the three idiot models. Loads of footage was given to the bulging bosoms and tiny pieces of garments they accidentally were wearing. This when the movie cast consisted of 4 of the most talented actors of this generation. Amitabh Bachchan, Javed Jaffrey, Gulshan Grover and Jackie Shroff - These 4 guys are awesome in themselves but all are wasted. Making the models, the center point of the movie was a mistake. But this stands true only if Kaizad Gustad in fact was trying to make a movie. The saving grace was definitely Zeenat Amaan who still is capable of kicking any of the featured model's ass. Among the cameos, I liked Rohit Bal best. He proved that the models can learn something about acting from him.
Irony of the movie: When Jackie Shroff compared the models to his ahem ahem employee Pavitra. That was awesome. Some food for thought!
In one sentence: If you are looking for a movie with some logic, skip it. But perhaps no one wants/expects it to be a movie after all. not even the director, I suppose.
Someone tell me this. IMDB list Manish Malhotra, Naseeruddin Shah and various other celebrities in the star cast as special appearances. I can't remember catching these. Perhaps they came when I slept tired of kicking my own ass...
IMDB's User Comments: THE WORST MOVIE EVER I don't agree. Aks was worse.
Now and Again (1999)
Incredible Series
Well, the series is here in India in 2003! And I don't believe it ended after 1 season. It is one of the better ones I have seen in a long time. The story line is interesting, the characterization incredible and the verbal disputes - I love them. Really would have loved if it lasted for more time...
