New York

New York, a total time waste. What doesn`t work is the half- convincing characterization. We do wonder if a human rights activist would hide a terrorist`s existence or whether an FBI officer (Roshan) would meet Omar openly in charming cafes to discuss their top-secret mission. Also cumbersome is the two American characters – Sam and Maya – constantly talking in Hindi with the dialogue explaining why (his dad is a cultural professor; her mom is a Hindi film fan).

Zor Laga Ke Hai ya

rating 2/5
A nice movie for kids, the theme of the movie is to save trees. Mithun has done a good show playing the beggar'drracula'. But an overall bore. Time waste

Kal kisne dekha review

The movie is very silly and both the new actors suck big time. Alas, the closest debutants Jaccky Bhagnani and Vaishali Desai come to a kiss is a coquettish collision on the college campus where our simple, robust, prankster hero from Chandigarh, with a few vital tips from his Bebe back home

Dhoondte Reh Jaoge

Cast : Kunal Khemu, Sonu Sood, Soha Ali Khan, Paresh Rawal, Johny Lever, Deepal Shaw
Producer: Ronnie Screwvala
Director: Umesh Shukla
Music Director: Sajid, Wajid
Rating: 2/5

The con of the movie is very simple. Anand Pawar (played by Kunal Khemu, who is still trying to find a foot hold in the industry) and Raj Chopra (played by the comedy king Paresh Rawal) look forward to become millionaires in the shortest time possible and so they raise Rs 100 crores from various financers to make a movie in a budget of mere 5 crores only. They wanted the film to be so pathetic that it gets chucked out from the theaters on the very first day and is termed as one of the biggest flops ever made in the Bollywood. And, once it so happens, they would run away with the remaining 95 crores.
In order to make a flopbuster, they rope in Aryan Kapoor (Sonu Sood) as the lead actor, and Parvez Asharraf (Johny Lever), a Pro-Pakistan person, is hired as the writer. However, somewhere down the line, Anand becomes greedy enough to cheat on his own girlfriend Neha Chattopadhayay (Soha Ali Khan), a small time theatre actress, by casting her as the main lead in his film to get her over the acting bug. However, the premier show, which was supposed to be a tryst with tomatoes and eggs, turns out to be a heavily applauded affair. Audience get to have a hearty laugh at the ungodly mix of Sholay, Gadar and Lagaan.
Director, Omesh Shukla has managed to carry out the spoofs quite convincingly, and the actors have done their best to capture the expression and style of the original actors. The movie offers a much needed break from the stress and strains of out daily lives.

99

Rating 3/5
Date Seen: 12/05/2009
Directed : Raj Nidimoru & Krishna DK
99 is not emphasized on the burglary, rather it is taking up more intersting storylines including Gamble and Match Fixing. And that too, in rather funny way. The story is about Sachin [kunal Khemu] and Zaramud (!!!) [cyrus broacha] - two dropout techies, making their living by 'mis'using technology back in days of Y2K !! Somehow they get stuck at AGM's [Mahesh Manjrekar]- place and both 'has' to do stuff [money recovery] they don't like. On this way, they got to meet Rahul [Boman Irani] who also has stuck in net of AGM. And hilarious roundup of fate and luck starts from here. The movie is set in year 1999-2000. When the technology was about to get a kick start. The 'super fast' 56 kbps cybercafes were rage [yes, it IS in the movie] and the mobiles !!! Aah, the 5510, 3310 & 3315 !! Their Musical tones. And this era is brilliantly created by the guys [Rajeev Ravi] in the movie. Even in the first scene itself, an Aamir Khan poster shows up in faded light. [Now if you have seen the movie, tell me what movie it was??] And in another scene, we see 'Raju Chacha-the most expensive movie ever' Poster. Loved this small small details taken care off. [Art direction: Pradip Redij] Most fabulous was the Mobiles. At many parts, mobile phones and talks about it, got me stomach-ache. So funny each situation is shaped around. And quirky one liners about them. Dialogues are also fabulous as the screenplay is. Absolutely fresh and clever one liners I could find here. Sample this, 'If she is Neha, then you must be Pooja, right??' [cause, in Delhi, every girl is named either Neha or Pooja :D] And its no surprise, that all dialogues are CLEAN. cause its written by a girl: Sita Menon. And thats what I loved more. Cause I was feared that the movie can go so much the 'vulgar comedy' way, given the storyline, but kudos to the team, this one is so clean and family comedy.

All in all, this is a movie, you can not miss at any cost. A perfect movie for vacation, to go with friends. And kool off in the hot summer.
