Dusvidaniya - Review

Cast: Vinay Pathak, Neha Dhupia, Rajat Kapoor, Ranvir Shorey

Director: Shashant Shah

Rating: ****

The team of Bheja Fry is back and they come up with a simple film which is extraordinary to watch. Vinay Pathak a middle aged man has a habit of writing down "Things to do" list for domestic chores lives a simple middle class life of an accountant in a Mumbai suburb.

A routine check-up with a doctor leaves him stunned. He is diagnosed with a stomach cancer and can live only for 3 months. His inner consience appears before him to question his worthless life of always making lists for others. He decides to make 10 to do things in life which he always wanted.

He puts down his papers at work and teaches his boss a lesson who eats junk food all the time in his cabin . He buys a new car, learns to play guitar, confesses his love for a child hood sweetheart, travels abroad to meet his best friend since school days, patches up with his estranged brother.

The movie is a laugh riot from begining to end and not one bit serious. Interesting scenes are where he meets his childhood sweetheart and confesses his love for her. His dream of travelling abroad and meeting a hooker who befriends him. The dialogues are brilliant and screenplay very engaging.

Vinay Pathak deserves a pat for potraying the character of Amar Kaul. He simply lives the role. Other supporting actors play their parts adquetly.

The movie is for all of us who are living a mechanical life not doing things which we love to do. Its certainly an eye opener. This Vinay Pathak movie is worth the time and money. Please dont miss it, its highly recomended.

Dostana - Review

Cast: Abhishek Bachan, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra, Bobby Deol, Shilpa Shetty
Director: Tarun Mansukhani
Rating: *

A Karan Johar's movie will have all the hype, glitz and glamour and Dostana is no exception. Like all KJ movies, this movie also dissappoints big time with its story, screenplay and melodrama.
Karan's assistant Tarun directs this movie and he has a lot to learn.

Two womanizers Sameer (Abhishek) and Kunal (John Abraham) are being desperate to get a house which is owned by Neha (Priyanka Chopra) in Miami, US. Since Priyanka's aunt prefers only ladies to occupy the house they pretend to be a gay couple to be a tenant there. Why cant they find another good house and bother about pretending to be Gay will remain a mystery.

Every other person in this movie is a gay. Priyanka's ex-boss who is making a transition, the Visa officer who interviews John and Abhishek. The movie makes fun of the gay community throughout the movie. Some scenes are hilarious though especially when Bomman Irani Priyanka's boss who tries to flirt with John and Abhishek. Even scenes involving Kirron Kher who plays Abhishek's mom is hilarious. She is shocked to know her son is gay but later accepts John Abraham as her daughter-in-law and does the traditional customs. John and Abhishek secretly admire Priyanka and want to win her love. Pretending to be gay dosent help their cause !!!

Enter Bobby Deol (Abhimanyu) as Priyanka's new boss the story takes a typical karan johar turn. He is a widower with a child who is fancying Priyanka too.

After all the chaos and masala thrown in the movie ends with all parties happy. John Abraham has exposed the maximum in the movie and walks on his undies most of the time. Priyanka not to be outdone does her fair bit of exposure, her skirts are always above her thighs. If you are fans of John (for the girls) and Priyanka (for the lads) and enjoy crass comedy you can watch this crap. Otherwise stay out of the theaters.
