Just a place to put some random thoughts..
Hi,
Just back from my third movie in this week. Spend 100 Rs. and saw .
Some ten or fifteen years ago I remember watching the original movie on TV. And till date I dont remember any other movie (except The Silence of the Lambs and Raat) that got me really scared. Priest-dying, Cycle-accident, photographer-decapitation. These are some scenes carved into my brain.
The new movie doesnt do the justice to the story. Its not scary and its not gripping. The casting is bad. So dont spend money on this movie. You should rather go and get old classic and watch it on TV.. again.
Yours Sincerely,

Hi,
Just came back from . I was expecting a flaming blasphemous movie with all the controversy around it. But actually it made a good case for Jesus. Its an interesting movie.
And its a long movie too. After two hours, I really thought that movie is losing its grip and going wayward just to be controversial but the Night-Shyamalan-type twist in the end makes it all worthwhile.
Whether you buy the concept or not is entirely upto you but I think it will be an interesting and entertaining watch for all you movie buffs.
Yours Sincerely,
Hi,
Just saw . It's one of those movies that made it to the this Hollywood-hating-town called Hyderabad. With me was my friend whose honest opinion about animated movies ("cartoons", according him) was that they are for kids and watching it on a big screen and actually paying money when something like that can be watched for free on Cartoon Network for free is absolutely a waste. I had heard the same arguments from my college friends when I literally dragged them to watch Toy Story 2.
Now after the movie, this guy is actually acting like Cheshire cat. I assume that I don't have to make my point that animated movies are almost always more entertaining than the usual crap we see. The movie was great. The story was predictable but it was very well done. The characters are just too cool.
And Schumi's cameo was the best part. :)
Yours Sincerely,

Hi,
Over the weekend, I did a lot of things. One of them was KANK. I saw Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna one and a half times. Those who had seen it before me had told me that its bad bad bad movie. Still I had to see it. And I must recommend this to all of you who want to watch good movies.
Here is the thing. It is NOT a very good movie. But its certainly not very bad either. If you compare it to good movies it scores less than 35% and fails. But if you compare it to earlier Karan Johar movies it scores more than 100%. That's a HUGE improvement. K2H2 and K3G were really bad and were huge hits. If you don't watch KANK, these guys will go back to those movies and start pushing the crap. And I really don't want that to happen.
So please go and watch KANK and recommend it to everyone. Who knows, with this encouragement Karan Johar might actually make a good movie in the future.
Yours Sincerely,
