Review: Khatta Meetha

Verdict: Watch it if you must
"K" Rating: 1.5/5
Watch: DVD

"Khatta Meetha" is a damp affair, its neither Khatta nor Meetha. This is NOT the laugh riot that one has started to expect from Priyadarshan-Akshay. 

With this film Priyadarshan has taken his usual comic brigade of Asrani, Rajpal Yadav, Jonny Lever et al to make a political satire on the sad,convoluted and corrupted  state of Municipality and its contractors. Khatta Meetha starts off in a comic fashion but then takes on a serious turn.The humor seems forced, predictable filled with loud boisterous dialogues. Grated there are some isolated sequenced which are funny and witty. Akshay has once again proved he is a brilliant actor as he solely carries the film on his shoulder. Infact he is the saving grace of the film. Asrani and Rajpal Yadav are noteworthy. 

 From a Trade perspective the movie will recover its money as the film is low budget. Watch it if you must but wait for the DVD to come out.

In Production: Ra.1

Review: I Hate Luv Stories

Verdict: Good Timepass/Light hearted

"K" Rating: 3/5

Watch: Theater/DVD

Chiffon-clad heroins atop snow capped mountains, heros sporting leather jackets. dancing in the rain with loads of drama -all so cliched Bollywoodish. And yet we buy it every single time! Why? This movie explores the answer. "I Hate love stories" (IHLS) is a maxim Jay Dhingra "J" (Imran Khan)  lives by. However he is an assistant  to the industries most romantic filmmaker Veer Kapoor (read Karan Johar  spoof) on a current love story project. J's cynicism clashes with set-designer Simren's world, (Sonam Kapoor) who is a sucker for love stories and even has boyfriend Raj to complete her perfect, dreamy world. 

IHLS  has great comic timing and spoofs which send the audience in splits of laughter.Sonam Kapoor has a new look and  gets an A for effort however she still comes across Barbie dollish. Imran Khan is fantastic in the movie and essays an array of emotions effortlessly - not to mention his abs! Sameer Soni as Veer Kapoor and Sammir Dattani as Raj are note worthy in their performances.

The title track "I hate Luv Stories" is already a hit with the charts,but you may find yourselves humming to "Bin Tere" aswell. Manish Malhotra has done a great job fashioning for his nephew Punit Malhotra's film. The look is young,hep and so Abercombie & Fitch!! All in all IHLS is a "Good Luv Story",  barring a few hiccups where it drags from time to time but its fun to watch, to sit back relax and enjoy.

Inspired?

So I absolutely love the music of the movie "Radio" starring Himesh Rishammya. He has 2 voices that he can sing in now. Check out the music : http://www.mp3yug.com/Music/Radio/R.htm. The movie did not do well at the box office, but the music was a hit.

We have good original music however we also have an inspired video for it (so i found out). Some would recognize this song from Boyzone performed for the movie 'Notting Hill".Nonetheless love BOTH songs, love BOTH singers.
