All about living in this crazy, wonderful city called Bombay

September 11, 2004

Throughout Fida, Shahid Kapur's lipstick is far deeper and brighter than Kareena Kapoor's :)

And Kareena Kapoor is looking terrible almost throughout the movie...Besides that, though, its a pretty good movie...different from the sloppy sweet fare that has been hitting the Indian screens for a while now.

The first half of Dhoom is OK, but the second half is completely avoidable. Its just a rehashing of Ocean's 11 - without the finesse, the technical resources or any kind of believability whatsoever. What I really liked about the movie was Abhishek Bachchan. John Abraham can't act to save his life (though in those low slung jeans and bare-chested scenes, his acting is not really what you are expected to focus on!!) and Uday Chopra is cute (though he has put on lots of weight), its Abhishek's movie through and through. I never used to like him earlier, but the guy is really maturing into a fine actor, and is developing an impressive personality of his own. He is looking so much better after the break-up with Karisma Kapoor.

Am now looking forward to watching Yash Chopra's Veer-Zara and Ashutosh Gowariker's Swades. Both have pretty cliched story lines, but am sure that given the prowess of the respective directors, the treatment should be interesting.
