Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya

I was pretty sure I won't spend money on this flick. It is a remake of DDLJ... why would I want to watch a remake? Why not just watch the original over and over again? After all, it plays on some channel every weekend. Varun Dhawan is a male Sonakshi Sinha. He is there only to ham, dance and show his abs. While Alia Bhatt is too raw and immature to be considered an actress. I liked her in Highway but the story was so damn flawed. She has a lot to learn before she can act.
I was fortunate to find a good copy online... and after some co-ordination KC and I found time yesterday to watch it. And then... we waited for the other to turn it off. After 20 mins of the torture that is this movie I switched it off.

I had the misfortune of watching this movie last night. I was actually looking forward to it after people's reviews on facebook and also critics' reviews. But don't worry, there is one honest blog which says it like it is (C'mon... I am allowed some self importance atleast on my own blog).

What I loved about Kai Po Che was that the movie enhanced the book... the book was crap, shoddy, un researched, very simple. Thats my grouse with the new crop of writers... there is no depth and the characters are too simple. I was expecting something similar with this movie... that the director- Abhishek Varman (never heard of him) would enhance the book.

Highway

The reviews online were not very encouraging but on facebook, people seemed to have liked it. I found a good copy online and watched it.

Thank god.. I didn't spend money on it. The movie is directed by Imtiaz Ali and stars Alia Bhatt and Randeep Hooda.
