Filmistaan

There is a scene towards the end of Filmistaan in which Sunny (Sharib Hashmi) tells Aftaab (Innamulhaq) about a dream that even I have had on many an occasion.  What if partition had never occured. “Sachin Tendulkar, M S Dhoni, Inzaman Ul Haq aur Shahid Afridi sab ek team mein. Mehndi Hassan, Ghulam Ali, Abida Parveen, Nusrat Saab – sab ek hi mitti ke toh bane hain”.

Miss Lovely (Hindi) (2012)

For those who will walk into Miss Lovely expecting some flesh on display are going to be severely let down.  Those who walk in expecting a power packed movie because Nawazudding Siddiqui has a lead role are also going to be disappointed.  Those who walk in expecting an art house movie bordering on “art for art’s sake” will probably go back home fully satiated.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein!

Half of the Gori Tere Pyaar Mein!’s battle against me was already lost when I realized a couple of minutes into the movie that it has been set significantly in THE VILLAGE.  Now, now people, don’t get me wrong.  I have nothing against villages.  But I have a lot against one particular village.  For those who know me, this particular village is also known as – BENGALURU.  I call it the largest village in the world.
