De Taali

After a long time, there's a movie out which targets youth audience and is all about friendship, love. Yes, I am talking about 'De Taali'. There wasn't much publicity for this movie but it did good at box office.

The songs are hummable. Vishal Shekhar are slowly finding their way in my list of all time favorites. My personal favorite is the 'Maari Teetri' song. The beats are too good and different.

Story:Paglu (Ritesh Deshmukh), Amu (Ayesha Takia) and Abhi (Aftab Shivdasani) are best of friends. The story takes interesting turn when Amu falls in love with Abhi and Abhi finds his soulmate in Anjalee (Rimi Sen), the con. How Paglu and Amu save Abhi from Anjalee's evil clutches forms the rest of the story.


This movie is one of those that depends a lot on tight screenplay and crisp editing. Both areas could have been improved. However, the shortcomings were covered very well by solid performances from the four leading stars of the movie.

The movie has its own moments which I just loved:

1. Rimi Sen being tortured by making her watch 'RGV ki Aag' repeatedly
The director, E. Niwas was a former assistant to Ram Gopal Verma
2. Aftab proposing love to Ayesha
3. Saurabh Shukla rescuing Ritesh & Ayesha with the 'Jai Maharaj' slogan
4. Rimi Sen enjoying monkeys on TV with her eerie laugh

There's not much really to say about anything else but that some of the boring scenes could have been cut. Cinematography, Choreography - everything was just fine. Read Rediff's review here.

Khosla Ka Ghosla

Khosla Ka Ghosla, an interesting name for a movie with an interesting subject too.

Debutant director Dibakar Banerjee chose to be different and his different venture was an impressive one. KKG portrays a very real India, with its share of masala movie touch. Jaideep Sahni deserves a mention, afterall, he was in charge of everything from Story, Screenplay to Dialogues and Lyrics.

Alongwith proven actors like Anupam Kher and Boman Irani, even starlets like Parvin Dabas and Tara Sharma shone. 'Chak De Phatte' is a huge hit in India and abroad and can be easily heard in any discotheque (ofcourse desi ones). Bappi Tutul and Dhruv Dhalla get the honors for it.


Story: Head Khosla (Anupam Kher) spends his entire life time savings on buying a piece of land to build what else other than his 'ghosla' (nest). ChironjiLal (Parvin Dabas), one of Khosla's 2 sons, hates everything related to his family and wants to run to US (he being a software engineer); breaking all dreams and hopes of his father that Cherry (aka ChironjiLal) would help build the nest.

And then comes the twist, Khurana's (Boman Irani) goons want the land and they are willing to resell it to Khosla. Typical real-estate problem. Watch the movie to find out more.

Tara Sharma is impressive. She can make it big with right moves, she has the potential and she has proved it many a times. A nice weekend watch reco, this movie gets from your very own think-M! More soon.
