Rab ne banadi jodi!!!!

Ok after the famous (*wink*) review of Dil kabaddi...i know u must be waiting for this movie...and so without any further delay here i present RAB NE BANADI JODI!!!
Now most of my friends know that i dont like SRK (as an actor...i somehow don't like him) but there is one thing that i always do..i watch almost ALL his movies first day first show.Somehow this is a habit (yeah im a big bollywood fan if u still haven't got that).And i had decided i had to watch this movie coz it was Adi chopra's direction and had SRK in it.

Yesterday in a interview to a new channel SRK said "Me and adi think that this is Rab's (God) movie and he has made this movie so we have not promoted it as much as we should do."I thought wow this is surprising and also i should watch this movie.So i decided to book tickets and send messages to RJ Rakesh pleading him to book tickets.At first he said "8 tickets!!!Difficult Pallu..its first day first show"(This was my first sign).Then he got it done (Wat a dahling he is!!!)
and i was sooper thrilled.I started calling all my friends to ask who woulod join me for the movie.Believe it or not...not one friend of mine was ready to come. and my forever movie partner had to ditch me coz he had broken his leg..the rest of them had all vague reasons (This was my second sign).Finally the famous 8 were ready for the movie(I will not bore u with the other details).
The D day..12th december 2008
My voice was completely gone and i was unable to get up early in the morning(This was my third sign)...and somehow left home being sure that i will miss the starting AGAIN!!!On the way car met with a small accident(This was my fourth sign)....But finally i reached the cinema hall 40 mins late!!!!
I asked Vijay (ma friend and great SRK fan) howz the movie...he smiled and somehow i knew i was in for a surprise...by the time i entered the changed SRK was on screen...and trust me by the end of the interval i was glad i missed the starting 40 mins.
I knew the Rab himself gave me 4 signs to get away from the torture but no i had to watch it!!!!
As usual i will not tell u the story (actually almost all know what the story is!!!)but i will tell u wat not to look out for:
1.A different love story (It has the usual arranged marriage-no love between the two-something to create love and chemistry kinda story)
2.The usual SRK comedy(I've never got so irritated with punjabi jokes as much i have got with this movie...and i think SRK cant pull off the irritating punjanbi act)
3.Chemistry between SRK and the herione(It's just not part of the story duh!!!)
4.Good locales (No romantic song so no switzerland!!!)
Over all i think the movie is a total waste of 150/-
But just in case u have to watch the movie coz u really HAVE TO watch a bollywood movie ill also tell u what u can look out for :
1.Anushka's salwar (I think its really beautiful)
2.A lesson on what kind off dressing style does not suit men (Both the avataar's of SRK in the movie are bad)
3.Also a lesson on how bad a couple can look when a 40 year old is married to (oops cast opposite) a 19 year old.
4.Some dostana kind off jokes between bobby (Vinay pathak) and Suri/Raj (SRK)
5.Good songs and choreography (especially the hum hain rahi pyar ke song)
6.Free sight seeing of Amritsar.
7.Finally Japan (yeah u have to watch the entire movie TILL THE END to know why)

So if u really are a HUGE HUGE SRK fan maybe you will like the movie....but if ur a bollywood fan its a disappointment...For me two out of three khans have failed to create any kind of cinema magic im just waiting for the final one to release.

Oh yeah also after this movie Japan Government has decided to award SRK with the highest citizenship award for promoting tourism through this movie :-)
Now why am i saying this ul know if u have the patience to sit through this movie like me.
(PS:If u really wanna watch the movie completely go with a huge SRK fan...why???Go and you will understand)
So all the best to watch the movie and until my next movie hum hain rahi pyar ke..phir milenge..chalte chalte
(PS :If ur thinking why i have changed the last line of my blog then let me tell u this is one bad side effect of watching this movie :-)
Barla!!!!

Dil Kabaddi!!!

Thats right when i was completely bored yesterday i decided i had to watch a movie and then veda (Our producer) said that there are some tickets for tomo's show (okie now its a little confusing naah!!!yesterday was 4th dec and tomo is 5th dec okie).The tickets were for the first day first show for the movie dil Kabaddi!!!I thought what a weird but funny name.Then i realised this movie stars my two Fav stars- Konkana sen and Rahul bose and that too together!!!
(Wow another Mr and Mrs Iyer maybe is a pyar ke side effects kinda movie..i was sooper excited).I was supposed to give those tickets on air immediately at 7 coz the show was at 10 (okie now technically i knew not many would come and pick the tickets at 7 in the night so i was sure to get atleast 2 tickets!!!yipee!!!)
I gave them away on fataafat kusti and voila almost all of them agreed to come and collect the tickets at 11 in the night also (Damn!!!).But then i was expecting atleast one person not to come and voila at 11 in the night i got the call from reception...our very sweet security Mr.Ravi called and said 'Madam tickets ide neevu hogthira beligge???'.
At 11 in the night i started to call friends who were ready to come and my obvious first choice is my forever movie partner my bro Abhi.We agreed we'll go and pretty happy that i was going to see Rahul and konkana i slept.
The next morning!!!
Movie is at 10 and since 7 in the morning im using the snooze button in the mobile and trying to wake up.Finally at 8 30 i decided to get out and was at PVR at 10:20.BUt then the free tickets are not so easy to get u see.The manager made us go about one entire turn and then finally i entered the movie hall at 10:30 (Damn!!!Im always late!!!Missed half hour of a 2 hour movie)
As soon as i entered i saw Soha ali khan and the guy who was Kabir's friend in Chak de India (Sorry i forgot his name both in real and reel life)...anyways i once turned back and asked whether we were in the correct movie hall!!!yeah we were and i thought 'wow soha looks nice but is acting weird though'.Anyways sat and thoroughly yenjoyed the movie.
Now this movie is about relationships and marriage.Its actually about urban marriages.Relationships between husband and wife,Extra marital affairs,Crushes with students wayyy below their age,Infactuatuions,Cheating on spouses,flirting and finally getting back to the place where they belong.This movie has everything that is there in a bad marriage or should i say wrong marriage.
Now what is the story of the movie im not gonna tell u but as i said the movie contains all the above elements in it!!!U should watch the movie for these reasons:
1.What will happen if u try and control ur husbands every move.
2.What will happen if u try and have an extra marital affair and that too with a bimbo
3.What will happen if u try and suspect everything that ur husbands does and says
4.What will happen if u have a crush on someone way out of ur league.
Now lets talk about performances:
Rahul Bose :Great actor but no scope for his acting in this movie.BUt as an art teacher no one else could have played it better than him.And yeah as usual he kisses even in this movie but surprisingly not konkana but some chick who is supposed to be 21.
Konkana sen Sharma : She is a perfect actress .She has potrayed a role which is true.I mean most women are like her ( i mean the role she has played in the movie SIMI).U should watch the movie atleast for that.The director has put all the women characters in one woman Simi.
Irrfan Khan: Very very irritating in the movie.Maybe coz i dint like the character he played in the movie.Very bad.
Soha ali Khan : Looks very pretty and yeah acted also well.She is a typical house wife (bharatiya naari kinds)who forgives her husband even though he has had an extra marital affair and refuses to talk to her in public.I mean who does such things now yaar.
Payal Rohatgi: My god if u think she was irritating and sad in Bigg boss she has beaten that character with this character called Kaya.Man Irfan is the perfect Rahul for her (In the movie i mean).She is just plain IRRITATING.And she looks like a perfect hrrr (u know what im trying to say naah!!).Man i hate her even more now.
There are some more characters in this movie and i dont think they are that important to discuss but yeah that 21 year ols raaga in the movie has inspired me with a new look.I should get a nose ring soon.It looks good and the people who wanna look arty (yeah like the art and theatre and play types) should take a look at her.She looks good and looks arty too....So in the end i would say what irrfan said in the movie ( Actually i would rephrase it a bit )
Writing for the sake of writing is bad!!!!
Now what did he say in the movie which sounds like this.....u should watch it urself.

Until i see the next movie...this is Pallavi saying Barlaa!!!!
And BTW Abhi hated the movie..he said navagraha (Kannada) was much better than this...Abhi commonnnnnn
