A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (2011)
Doesn't work this time around
After its huge success in its first outing, Harold and Kumar didn't work well to continue their brilliance. Their second part was a dud and so is this one.
The script is decent but what the stupidity they show with them high on weed is waste. I know that's the whole point of the movie but it MUST be funny. The fun was missing out of the stupidity and hence what we found awesome in the first part was obviously not there.
Both the actors do a good job and the 3D bit was quite amazing, I must say and you will crack up in some of the scenes. Give it a watch for the love you have for Harold and Kumar.
Mausam (2011)
Take an actual 'Raincheck' on Mausam
I would call myself a fan of Pankaj Kapoor and his acting ability. His style in acting coaxed me to watch Mausam, which I thought would show his brilliance behind the cameras too, but much to my disappointment this movie is a dud.
Shahid Kapoor has come of age in his performances through his previous movies but through out 'Mausam' he looks limited and sealed. Sonam Kapoor for me is acting challenged. This isn't her space and should either leave or learn.
Script wise the movie is a drab. The first half hour is the only bearable part of what is a really unreasonably lengthy movie. The movie doesn't seem to be going anywhere at any point of the almost 160 minutes movie. It has a plot but the same plot has been shown 10 times in the movie with little bit of the air-force jazz in it for no good reason. Songs don't help the movie either.
I sincerely hope, Shahid Kapoor moves onto something better from this as he is an actor with great potential and for Pankaj Kapoor, I still believe one day he can make a great film
Players (2012)
Insult to 'Italian Job"
A very random cast come together to make a Hindi version of Italian Job and end up spoiling it to no end. The script tries to take twists from the original movie for the Indian people who have actually watched "Italian Job" to go all 'oooooh' in the theater, but what they didn't know is the audience isn't that stupid to believe all that was shown.
Abhishek Bacchan and Neil Nitin Mukesh do a good job, but Sonam Kapoor CANNOT act to save her life, neither is she good looking, what she tries really hard in the movie to be. Bipasha Basu does what she does best.
Some of the stuff shown is so unreal that by half way through, you are just sitting in the theater to at least squeeze in little worth of your money. I mean Mukesh's character 'Spider' has this huge mansion with all high tech stuff, but one bloody vehicle barges in and destroys everything right to his bedroom, really people?
The only saving grace to the movie was the little good action it had, especially the train heist, other than the movie was just in bad taste after what Abbas-Mustan had provided in 'RACE'
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)
Where was the MI twist?
The movie was incredible, a little over the top with the sandstorm and everything but still mind blowing action with lots of chasing,things blowing up, swanky technology and all of that. I hear Tom Cruise has done most of the stunts himself,which is commendable especially the ones hanging from the Burj Khalifa. I personally don't like Paula Patton, neither acting nor look wise. Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner are cool material people in the movie. BUT, the one thing that makes Mission Impossible movie so Mission Impossible are the crazy twists it has through the movie and one big twist. There was nothing like that in this one. So I did kind of miss that. Other than that its a kick ass movie. Oooh and the MI soundtrack Tiesto's remix edit is a banger of a soundtrack.
Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl (2011)
Good Follow-up
Ladies Vs Richy Bahl makes for a pretty good watch for quite an amount of reasons. The movie was short, didn't get draggy at all which is only the second best part of the movie after the HOT BOD Anushka Sharma flaunts in the movie. have to give it to her, AMAZING. She could give the other ladies in the industry a run for their money. The plot is decent enough to keep you on your seats and the music well done too with a good amount of laughter moments thrown in too at good intervals mainly by this Delhi girl character(whose name I forget).
So all in all the Ranveer-Anushka duo made good stuff on the screen after their first outing in Band Baaja.
