Chandni Chowk to China

UPDATE: The movie is slated for a January 16th, 2009 release. Rumours has it that it is slightly inspired by Akshay Kumar's own life - he was a cook in Bangkok, learnt martial arts in Hong Kong and then entered Bollywood. Read more about his biography here and here.

ANIL KAPOOR ROCKS!
And here's how. Watch the trailer below.


We all knew that Anil is a good actor but so much of voice modulation. Man, thats ishtyle indeed!

But the million dollar question being still the same old one, i.e., will this movie be worth watching? In other words, will it be worth being reviewed at think-M? ;)

Jaan-e-mann

An average movie, which any cine-goer can afford to watch in theatres. By average, I mean the age old triangular love story and a movie with cast boasting of star power (Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Preity Zinta).

However, a different execution style (thanks to our new director on-board: Mr. Shirish Kunder) and nice screenplay overall (with its share of pits and falls too) manages to keep the viewer engrossed.

The first half of the movie is so good that I would be tempted to promote this movie to a 4.0 category but ... the second part is slow and a bore in many parts. However, the climax is unique and took me by total surprise.

Anu Malik is credited with the music for this movie which could have been much better though Sonu Nigam rocks in 'Humko maloom hai'. Anu Malik hasn't delivered anything impressive for quite some time now.

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala has repeated the hit combination of Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar post 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi'. Though it's not the first time that he's working with Preity. Remember, the 'Piya Piya' song?



Story: There was a dude (Salman) and a geek (Akshay). Both loved a beauty (Preity). Ten years pass. The dude lives in his dream world, the geek lives in space and the beauty lives all alone. Watch the movie to find out more.



Preity looks georgeous and is different. Much better than what she looked in her last release: Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna!

All actors have done justice to their roles. Full credit to debutant director Shirish Kunder. Me's definitely eagerly looking forward to his next. Check out more about this movie here!

Rating: 3.5/5.0

Dosti

A movie from Suneel Darshan camp - who had earlier disappointed with flicks like Barsaat (no, not the Raj Kapoor / Twinkle Khanna starrer), Ek Rishta, Jaanwar, etc. What would you expect? It was surprising that the movie was not a total disappointment. It had catchy music from Nadeem Shravan, starred 2005's top actor - Akshay Kumar, and was well-directed - what more could you ask?

In fact, this movie was way ahead of Suneel's brother - Dharmesh Darshan's (of Raja Hindustani fame) Bewafaa. Despite the script lacking freshness, there was no disappointment in any department - screenplay, choreography, music, acting, direction.


Story: Like Saajan, this movie speaks about two childhood friends - Raj (Akshay Kumar) and Karan (Bobby Deol). Fate brought them together - they stood all problems together but then comes a point where Raj has to leave! How does Karan react? Karan's hurting family bonds were healed by Raj. Where Karan's father (Kiran Kumar), mother (Lillete Dubey) and sister (Mona Chopra) fail to care for Karan, Raj had been his protector, friend and guardian. But now what? Watch the movie for the answer :)

Kareena Kapoor as Anjali, Lara Dutta as Kajal play love interests of Raj and Karan respectively. Juhi Chawla is however wasted in a miniscule role. Her make-up has been poorly done in many shots.

As told earlier, this movie lacked freshness but what needs to be appreciated is it brought back memories from 80s. An afternoon-time pass recommendation this movie surely deserves.
