Movie time!!! Reviews, reviews and reviews...

24 hours, 3 movies.. man am I Vella... (Its the DoMS slang for a guy without any work..)

Saw Love story 2050, The incredible Hulk and Jaane tu...

And here are the reviews..
Caution: Thiese reviews may contain spoilers...

Love Story 2050: Sorry to say this, but the movie is not worth half the hype... India's first Sci fi, some newspaper called it. And a very poor one. Actually the entire movie is not a sci fi... Its only half the movie where the director takes you to his version of Mumbai in 2050. In the first half, you are in Australia where the hero meets, falls in love and woos the heroine who conveniently dies before the interval. And our hero along with his uncle and friends go to Mumbai 2050 to get her back.. (Do see the movie to understand why he chooses this particular date. The director has wasted a lot of scenes to explain this... And also, why should only I Suffer)
So Mumbai 2050... The cars (flying) there look like Premier padminis which fly... The imagination is poor, the direction un-inspired and the story cliched... The hero is poor man's Hritik. It seems so obvious that he is trying to imitate Hritik...
On the brighter side, Priyanka Chopra looks awesome in the first half. There are some scenes in the second half which are gud (especially those involving the teddy bear).
The end of the movie makes u cry... especially as the movie ticket rates are increasing by the day.
Over the movie is worth a miss...

The incredible Hulk: I saw this movie, cos I had nothing else to do. (I asked the person to give me a ticket for the next movie, whichever it is). And I was not disappointed. In fact I found it entertaining in parts. May be it is because i saw love story 2050 just 14 hours back. Nyways, most of u would be knowing the story. Watch it like you would watch those numerous other Hollywood flicks with special effects. Don't want to waste more time on this movie. Its Ok.. watch it if U don't have any other options. At least u wont feel bad at the end of it...

Jaane tu...: Lovely, fantastic, A good feel-good movie after along time. Anyone who enjoyed Socha na tha, adored Kabhi haan, kabhi naa, would love this movie. A Rathore who does not fight, a girl who cant get enough of fighting... Everyone feels that they are made for each other. Everyone except these two. And the movie shows their journey till they understand and live happily ever after. Aamir Khan's nephew is good as the rathor, Genelia as Aditi is lovable. She makes u want to jump in joy with her, cry because her cat's dead and cry when she confesses to her fiancee that she loves Jai. And their friends, who are narrating this story to an air hostess, who does not believe in love.

The direction is gud, energetic - just wht a young love story deserves. The dialogues are just what you would hear college guys speaking. The scenes between aditi and her brother are awesome. Especially the one in his room (there is only one, so u would spot it) where he explains to her that Jai is the right guy for her. The story reminds you of Segal's Doctors and the two protagonists who spend 40 years as platonic but best of friends and end up married. But Jaane tu still manages to be different. Cos its very Filmi... :-) And thats the best part. It also has the brilliance of Dil Chahata Hai in some scenes (but only some). The colours are fresh. The actors are new and hence more convincing. The music is awesome. U just cant stop yourself humming kabhi Kabhi Aditi. and of course Pappu cant dance. :-) Will definitely wait for more of Tyrewala's movies.
