Being ... ALI HASSAN

Just came back from this movie and all I can think about is when can I go back and see it all over again!! what a awesome awesome movie, its fun young and absolutely mind-blasting. I knew this movie would be nice but this one has exceeded my expectation to no limit, even though I am not such a huge fan of Aamir Khan but I certainly admire whatever he does and in this movie he has surpassed all expectations.

Raju Hirani according to me is the real hero of this film, I mean to come up with such an engaging screenplay is so difficult and the man has almost perfected the art of making such movies if you go by his track record, from now even if he doesn't promote any of his movies i will be  the first one to buy that ticket and watch it!!

The performances and the dialogues plus the soundtrack were all so delightfull to watch and not even for a second you are bored or dis-interested with what his happening on screen, Aamir was the pick of the actors because he had the best role and the best lines but Sharman, Maddy and Kareena also performed well and Boman Irani as the college dean was mean and fun and not to mention Chatur this guy is indeed a great find and his performance was simply too good!!

On the whole hats off to the entire unit for making such wonderful and a timeless classic!! Aal izz well!!

After like months and months of crappy and stupid flicks finally we have KURBAAN!! and thank god for that, well actually thank Rensil D'Silva and Karan Johar. The movie is simply outstanding and has been written and treated very intelligently I mean all the aspects are well thought out and the homework has been done to the T.

The main strong point of the movie is of-course the storyline which grips you from the very start and when things move into the second half the movie is in its zone, I am not sure but I think Rensil is a first time director and if he is then he is the "MAN!" and kudos to Karan J for producing such a cool flick.

All the performances are very good but the good thing is that no one trys to hog the limelight and they share all the screen space, I mean yeah Saif and Kareena get most of the footage in the first half especially Kareena but when Vivek Oberoi enters he does a very fine job especially with his accent he is brilliant and very natural, Saif and Kareena are superb they are good actors and after watching this movie you know why also Om Puri is decent and so is Kiran Kher with Diya Mirza in a very small role.

So at the end I will say this and say it again.. u NEED to watch Kurbaan!!

This movie had so much hype with all the Hollywood stars in it and how much they spent on the dresses Kareena Kapoor has worn in the movie and how the script was the real hero of the entire movie. So when I went for it today it was rather disappointing because for starters there is no story in the movie its just about how Akshay and Kareena fight and hate each other in the first half and how they fall in love in the second half with various actors popping up time to time just for eye candy!! Seriously it was quite bad I mean when you watch the movie you can see that a LOT of money has been spent coz the visuals are very good but that is just not enough coz dude where is the story???

The first half is good but the jokes do get monotonous and the second half is just plain boring arghhh!! Akshay is good we all know he acts well and has a flair for comedy but the script is so weak that even he cant do anything but having said that he does make you laugh from time to time and the same can be said for Kareena she looks good and acts well too but sadly you don't enjoy the movie as much as you wish.

Stallone,Brandon and Deneese have guest roles so you cant really judge them and Aftab and Amrita are alright nothing to write home about. So all in all not a movie worth spending your time on and if you do watch it please keep your brains out of the cinema and see it maybe then you can enjoy it!!
