dhoom and the hug that shud have lasted longer .
After watching some really decent sensible hindi cinema ( Dor , Khosla ka Ghosla, n even Pyar ke side effects ) I went to see dhoom with basic expectation of a good film.
N I didn’t get it .
Some might say it was from a different genre ( it is such a fashionable word today , even Ravi Kishen is using it ) from the one I prefer n understand . sure … if the genre is ludicrous cinema . phuleeze, if you have to make a film like this get the basic plot right at least , then coat it with the mind-blowing action sequences , path breaking styling et al . but here they have a completely nonsensical plot with juvenile logic …. sample – the police can book a thief only if he is caught red handed ..
And whats with the slo-mos ..so many n so looooooooong .. I don’t remember so many slow motion sequences in any film ever .. all those introductions of the characters – first hritik , then uday, then abhishek, then bipasha 1, then aishwarya ,then bipasha2 .. all in really long slow motions. By the way why was there a double role of Bipasha , cudnt the first one just colour her hair red , wear bikini and speak gibberish under the pretext of under cover .. come on , this wud have made more sense than identical twin ..
Stupid .. stupid .. stupid ..
And ya also .. even tho I am no technical person myself , I still cud see that editing was really bad ..
But I have to agree the stunts are good and the film is stylish .. for all except Abhishek .. gawd , he is lookin so tacky . and why is his stubble resembling my ma ‘s maternal brother , babbu mama’s , beard .. babbu mama used to dye his beard to hide grey hair . and in front of Hrithik, the contrast hurts .. it physically hurts. I like the guy yaar.
Ashwariya has looked plastic like always ( I don’t like her , so there ) .. bBpasha continues her bad acting like always, Uday Chopra yet again proves why he doesn’t get films outside his dad’s banner and this is second consecutive uncomfortable performance by Abhishek Bachan ( after umrao jaan)..
But there is one good thing in the movie … n it is **drumroll** Hrithik Roshan **drumroll**.. no one , yes no one has ever looked better than him on indian screen.. ever …so so good .. like really really hot (that was sunhari’s aatma in me)
I have always considered Hritik like the guy whom I wud like my sister to get married to , so no improper feelings for him ever …such a good boy …but after watching dhoom am keeping him for me … I had met him a couple of years back during this film’s premiere , of which my hubs was a part of . I had thot then that he was too beautiful, too perfect to be a man... I now regret letting him go when he hugged me then.. sheesh ..
that is why i am back ... again .
new page ... again .
promise to stay longer here ... again.
life has been more better than worse since i went away ... i changed my job 3 months back.. had one of the best holiday ever .. changed my hairstyle .. started putting makeup ( yeah its never too late ) .. and suddenly decided one day that i do want to have a baby ( no not right away ..) sooner than i thot ... met some really fine people.. lookin forward to the next year..
it is good to be back . oh yeah . ¶ 11/26/2006 03:15:00 PM 14 comments
