Robot

Don't tell me you haven't watched this movie? You have to give it a watch. Watch it in hindi. Its a fun ride throughout (if you can somehow ignore Aishwarya)

The plot is very much bollywood, the sets and action scenes creative. Yes, I know its a copy+paste from various movies but then, putting copied ideas together well is also creativity :)

The plot is : Vasikaran (Rajnikant) makes a humanoid (Chitti). He wants this robot of his to be used by the Indian army in wars, to avoid loss of humans. The panel which decides the fate of the robot also includes Vasikaran's teacher Danny, who is jealous since he hasn't been able to make a robot himself, for a couple of years now. He proves to the panel that Chitti is not worth the army. He also somehow convinces Vasikaran that if Chitti had feelings, he could be useful. So now Vasikaran is on a new mission - he installs software emotions in Chitti :D And now is where the plot is typical bollywood. A love triangle.
The last part, where Chitti and his self created army fights against the Indian army is worth a watch. The graphics are good and worth your time.
The comedy part in the movie is also wonderful. What comedy? The songs. What sets..what words...what movements..and Aishwarya...Ohh God..someone forgot to tell her that she wasn't walking the ramp..it was a movie set!
Yes, so as I said earlier, if you can somehow ignore the actress, you have a laugh ride. Its a fun movie for a huge group. Go enjoy!

Aakrosh

This is a Priyadarshan movie. I was definitely hoping for much better.
Aakrosh is a take on honour killings (details). The concept is good. The presentation is good doesn't give you the much required goosebumps though and is patchy.
The performances are okish. Paresh Rawal has done a superb role as a corrupt, law non-enforcing policeman. He plays his wart so well, you almost wish he was killed. It reminds me of his early days in the film industry, where he was always cast as a villain. It was only after Hera Pheri that he started getting roles as a comedian. Ajay Devgan, was good. But I would say there was nothing different or new in his performance skills. Akshaye Khanna, not sure what he calls acting. Bipasha was hardly there, she only had to cry and yell, but yes she did a good job. Reema Sen has played her part well. Specially the scene where she tries to report the killer after her tongue has been cut off.
The characters were not built up really well. The story just starts and then it appears that parts of the movie have been stuck together to somehow carry it on. The item song with Sameera Reddy? Why was it put there and who wrote the songs? Who choreographed it? Was it even a teeny weeny bit like an item number? Totally not needed here, as there were already so many things that were not working for the movie.
The concept was good, could have been made better.

Khichdi - The movie

For all those Khichdi fans out there, this movie is a must watch!
It has the innocent Praful and his always decked up wife Hansa.

Praful what is? decked up matlab?
Hansa..Hansa...decked up.....
you remember those numerous english words that Praful has screwed up :)

There is babuji too, the always irritable babuji. Jayshree is there too, though the original character is not in the movie, but Nimisha Vakharia has played her part really well to keep up the good old, always conspiring against babuji, Jayshree. Himanshu, kisi ko pata nai chale, is as always ... always cooking :)
Jacky and Chakki are not the original characters and do not really mix up really well with the others, but they are hardly there throughout the movie.
So, Jacky and Chakki are out on a summer camp where everyone is narrating stories. These two kids start talking about their mad family, the Parekhs. The movie revolves around the story "How Himanshu gets married to Parminder". The story is pretty straight forward, but Himanshu wants a love story that is a legend. So the Parekhs put forces together, to make Himanshu's love story a one that will be talked about by everyone for a long time. You can imagine what all the Parekhs together can do :D

I won't reveal all the funny and senseless twists and turns in the movie as its worth riding the madcap boat with all its surprises and giggles.
All those who have enjoyed the series Khichdi on TV, go enjoy the movie. You will not be disappointed.

Aisha

It has been adapted from Jane Austen's Emma. Ok, I hope this itself tells you that this is a movie that guys will not enjoy. Just for experimentation, take along a guy and see what innovative things he will do to pass his time :P

The story of the film is not bad. Its like a fairy tale that kept me in a trance throughout the movie almost. Everything moves so fast, everything is so much like a fantasy...so much money that you do not think before buying a gucci or a prada...! man!
Ok anyway, so when I came out of the non-real air created rather well by the director, I started observing the performances.
Abhay Deol is always good! A tad bit too underused here though
Sonam Kapoor I would say, her expressions are same almost everytime. Don't think she could have pulled the movie for even a week, without the songs, the feeling of being in a fairy-tale all through the movie.
Infact, I liked the performance by Ira Bose. She was really good. Her dialogue delivery, her nakhras, latka jhatkas.
As for the story, Aisha is a matchmaker and a compulsive one at that. She would go to any extent to make the two she feels are soulmates come together and get married. As confused as she is, she takes it upon her to find a life partner for Shefali. Little does she realise that love, relationships are not made, they just happen.
The movie ends - happy ending and everything that was messed up by Aisha, is straightened out in less than a few minutes. All the characters in the movie (as pointed out by the guy who was so bored to death by the time the movie ended) do nothing but attend parties, shows etc and still keep saying that they are busy. Wonder where they get all those huge bags of money from :)
