I finally got around to watching Ghajini. At first it seemed like a really bad movie but as it progressed it seemed ok. Things started to fall into place and make sense. (more…)

As January 2009 approached I realized that the release of Chandni Chowk to China was just a few days away. Now, I love Indian movies but I don’t watch them so often anymore because they are quite lacking in the qualities they once possessed. Anyhow, after seeing the trailer of Chandni Chowk to China I had decided that this was one of the few movies I wanted to see. Just as I began looking forward to its release I realized that there were still past releases I hadn’t seen which were definitely worth watching but I just hadn’t gotten around to it. How unfortunate. I still needed to see Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Ghajini, and Slumdog Millionaire.

So I started with Slumdog Millionaire. I had heard so many raves about this film and I was ready to find out what all the hype was about! Everyone was talking about it and the movie has even won many awards. At a first glance it just didn’t seem like it would be that great to me. Nonetheless, I watched the movie and I must say that I was definitely pleased about one thing! The movie was not vulgar like most of the movies they have these days. In fact, it was actually good. A bit sad but mainly happy. I did not thing it was so GREAT as everyone else thought it to be. To me it was just ok. So I still don’t understand what all the hype was about.

One down, two to go…I think my next step is Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. I’m very excited about this one because of Shahrukh Khan, obviously. Then will be the turn of Aamir Khan’s Ghajini. So finally, I’ll be all set to see Deepika Padukone and Akshay Kumar in Chandni Chowk to China!

Bollywood’s Jab We Met heroine, Kareena Kapoor is looking forward to her birthday on September 21st, for many reasons but especially because she will be shooting with her favorite actor Aamir Khan. “On my birthday I will be shooting for Rajkumar Hirani’s Three Idiots in Ladakh. And the best part is that I will be shooting wiht my favorite actor, Aamir Khan,” Kareena told IANS on Saturday. When asked whether she is irritated with the media frenzy surrounding her relationship with Saif, Kareena responded, ” I am not irritated but these things are personal. You guys (media) keep hovering around us and taking pictures wherever we go.”

Well what the hell do you expect Kareena? After all, once you become a big star you just have to accept that the media is part of the package!!
