What's your Raashee?

Watched What's your Raashee? yesterday. Again, kinda unplanned. Being an AG movie, the expectations were a bit on the higher side. We missed a few minutes of the movie (with which I have no issues) and the trailers (to which I strongly object). Google said the show begins at 12:30, my ticket said 1 O'clock, so I guess the powers that be at Rahul decided to take an average and began the show at some time in between.

The story of the movie is simple. A faaren return guy wants to marry in India, and that in a hurry, and he has recently learned that each Rashee has its own distinct characteristics, so putting his newfound knowledge in practice, he decides to meet one girl of each Rashee. The question of why an Univ. of Chicago MBA chooses to believe in astrology is not answered. But the handling is good. The movie is lengthy, like most AG flicks, more than 3.5 hrs, but I did not get bored. Little subplots are nicely integrated with the main theme. AG's acute observation of aam aadmi (so called mango people), and attention to detail (just to take one example, how two different characters from different backgrounds pick a champagne glass. A seemingly trivial thing, not at all important to the narrative, but I think that's the way to perfection). Priyanka has done justice to all the twelve different characters she plays. Even Harman is good. If you've watched his earlier movies, you'll notice how much he has improved. I think the guy has great potential, but needs to be careful of who he chooses to work with.

Overall, this is paisa vasool movie, a good timepass (thanks partly to the length :p). Again, this stands somewhere in between must watch and passe, and again having no brighter ideas for tags, I'll put it in must watch. So go and watch it and have a nice time. Just remember one thing, astro-vastro sab bakwas hai :p.
