Youngistaan

Lets us start this review by paying homage to one of the finest actors that our country has ever seen – Farooq Sheikh.  In his last on-screen release, Youngistaan, Farooq Saab plays the role of Akbar.  He is the Personal Assistant to the Prime Minister of the country.  The comfort with which he essays his role brings a tear to your eye because you will never be able to see his class on screen in anything new.  Thank goodness for DVDs.

Club 60

What is this fascination that Bollywood has suddenly got into with farting? And why would you make a man who is playing a 60+ year old fart ad nauseum ad inifinitum? And then, you make him wave his tennis racquet behind himself in an attempt to “clear the air”.  That is followed by a sheepish grin and an apologetic smile to his tennis partner.  That apology should instead be directed to the audience who has had enough of people farting on screen!!!!

Listen... Amaya

Amaya Krishnamoorthy (Swara Bhaskar) is what her mother calls – a free spirit.  She is a modern day working woman.  One who harbours hopes of writing a book one day – hopefully sooner than later.  As luck would have it, she finds a reason to write sooner.  He boss makes a pass at her and she leaves her job.  After “One Tight Slap” across the bosses face of course.
