Well I was getting bored sitting idly doing nothing.So I decided to make a list of Bollywood movies that copied from hollywood movies just to pass time.This is what I got.I am still reeling,


hum tum--- when harry met sally

sarkar--- the godfather(how dare to compare marlon brando and al pacino with the bacchans)

hey babyy-- 3 men and a little lady

partner-- hitch

kyon ki..---- one flew over the cuckoo's nest

chak de india-- a league of their own/miracle

ek ajnabee-- man on fire (fully copied)

kayamat-- the rock

dhoom-- fast and furious,ocean's 11

speed-- cellular

murder-- unfaithful

the train-- derailed

akele hum akele tum---kramer vs kramer

maan---an affair to remember

chori chori chupke chupke-- pretty woman

meri yaar ki shaadi hain-- my best friends wedding

ghajini-Memento

Zinda-Oldboy

Kaante-Reservoir Dogs

Mujhse shadi karogi-meet the parents and anger management

Chocolate-the usual suspects

Musafir- U-turn

Yuvraaj-Amadeus

God tussi great ho-Bruce almighty

Kyunki main jhoot nehi bolta-Liar Liar

Aitraaz – Disclosure

Baadshah - Nick of Time, Teen Agent, Rush Hour

Baazigar - A Kiss From Dying

Black - The Miracle Worker

Chachi 420 - Mrs. Doubtfire

Dostana - I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry

Judwaa - Twin Dragons

Koi Mil Gaya - E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

Munna Bhai MBBS - Patch Adams

Raaz - What Lies Beneath

Zeher - Out of Time

Agneepath- scarface

Dil hai ki manta nahin- it happened one night

Jo jeeta wohi sikander- breaking away

Chamatkar- blackbeard’s ghost

Rangeela- Win a Date with Tadf Hamilton

Ghulam- on the waterfront

Sangharsh- silence of the lambs

Dhai akshar prem ke- walking in the clouds

Kahin pyar na ho jaaye- the wedding singer

Humraaz- a perfect murder

Kuchh to hai- I know what you did last summer

Bunty aur babli - bonnie and clyde

Deewane huye pagal- there’s something about mary

Rang de basanti- all my sons /jesus montreal

I see you- just like heaven

The killer- collateral

Krissh- paycheck

Nishabd- lolita

Bheja fry- diner de cons

Salaam-e-ishq-love actually

U me aur hum- the notebook

Race - goodbye lover

Shaurya - a few good men

Dasvidaniya - Bucket list


That covers a lot. I cant go any longer. Next I heard they are making a remake of the prestige, and a remake of forrest gump. If the actor with the maximum number of plagiarised movies in the list is Aamir Khan considered Indiawide as one of the greatest actors of the country, you know there is a big problem with creativity. Respect originality.Not some rip-off.For these movies are nothing more than that. Gotcha!!

"Kabhi kabhi kuchh log shock se aise kaam kar jate hain jiska unhe koi shock i nehi hota!!.....How shocking is that..hain na!!!"......Dhaamal


Have you ever imagined that such a humorous piece of statement from Arshad Warshi will one day hold true for a legendary and successful manager, Sir Alex Ferguson??...Well I never thought that way, even a second before I heared the shocking news that Michael Owen has signed for Manchester United. N shocking indeed, for no speculations of this kind was heared before....not even a rumor was spread regarding Owen's transfer...n that to manutd...well nobody ever dreamt it even befor Sir Alex Ferguson proposed and finally completed this shocking transfer!!...

God Knows what instigated him for this tranfer!!

Probably, Karim Benzema's proposed move to the snobbish and capitalistic football club Real Madrid, came as a Shock to Fergie (hota hain!!), which led him to do such a shocking transfer, for he never had any shock (hindi wala) to sign Owen..!!

Or, Fergie quite intuitively took up the calculated gamble, knowing that Owen was a free agent and reports suggest his wage would be highly incentivised and greatly reduced from the astronomical fees he commanded at St James’ Park. So, from the business point of view, even if Owen doesn't mark up to the expectations as a striker of United, he wont be a big loss for the club. (Very clever!!!)

The crux of any gripes with United’s summer would appear to lie with the departure of two big players, Cristiano Ronaldo(Avaricious!!!) and Carlos Tevez. And thereby, Sir Alex was desparate to fill in the gaps in his squad...!!!...But 'Owen'??....Did he really deserve this signing?? Its true that it’s not a case of teaching an old dog new tricks, but the injury prone former Liverpool striker hasn’t enjoyed a memorable, prolific season in last four years. He scored only 10 goals for Newscastle Last season, and was fading away from the gliss and glamour he used to show in his game years back, when he was considered as a high esteemed striker!! So, the question lies, will he be able to match up to the speed, skill and rythm of other players of United at this point of time, for he is not in his shape these days!!

Well, its for the time to tell, whether Owen will be successful or not as a Manchester United striker, it’s undoubtedly a polemic issue!!

So guys, what do you think???......What plans ran in Fergie's mind that led him to sign Owen!!

While Europe’s top talents form a winding queue to be paraded before a backdrop of trophies, fireworks and giant screens at the Santiago Bernabeu, will Fergie's calculated gamble benefit United??..Will Owen prove the world once again that Ferguson is the greatest tactician of all times??...

OR,

Will Fergies reputation as the superb tactician fall apart?? Will the world, specially the Liverpool fans, laugh off Fergie's gamble??...Will Owen be a total loss??....Wat say guys??..

FILM REVIEW: DELHI-6
Director: Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra
Starring: Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Waheeda Rahman, Rishi Kapoor, Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni and Divya Dutta.
Ratings: * * * *

Sometimes in a sea of trashy, flashy films, a movie comes along and breaks your heart. It doesn't shout, scream, swivel its hips or even wear neon costumes. It just is, like life, messy, complicated, sometimes fun, at other times bloody awful. Delhi-6 is a film like that. What's it about? Well, it's about a young man, son of a Muslim mother and Hindu father, who brings his dying grandmother to her 1808 haveli in Chandni Chowk, because she wants to die here. So there she is, doing her "maut ki shopping" as Abhishek's character, Roshan, puts it drolly.

And there he is, becoming more and more involved in life in Delhi-6. He stands up to the local cop, a corrupt police officer played by Vijay Raaz, and gets slapped for his pains (though he does give it back). He speaks up for the untouchable jamadarni, played by Divya Dutta, and gets washed with mud by his grandmother. He gives voice to Sonam's character's desire not to get married to the first fat or rich guy who comes along, and again gets slapped for his effort by her dad.

Roshan is the observer, the "foreign element" who seems to shake things up wherever he goes simply by being. He's overwhelmed initially by Chandni Chowk's warmth, the jalebis which are too "meetha", the temple bells which rung too loudly, the kids who are content to play cricket and monkey around, and the nawab, his mother's former admirer, who drinks tea and plays pool, when he's not driving around in his stately open top.

Chandni Chowk, so often reduced to clichés in the recent past, has never looked so beautiful, shot usually early morning or late in the night (and usually in the stand-in town of Sambar in Rajasthan). The tangle of wires, the masjid opposite a mandir, the Ramleela, the narrow bylanes and even the wall with a hole dividing two brothers. It's got it all right.
It's difficult, almost impossible to make a movie about a metaphor. Imagine hearing this pitch: it's about the kaala bandar, the monkeyman, the monster, that is inside all of us. Yes, yes, roll your eyes and imagine it being made into an engrossing story which weaves a real life monkeyman scare in New Delhi into a story about how it almost divides the two communities that comprise Chandni Chowk, Hindus and Muslims, when a fake swami insists that the monkeyman is striking the area because an old temple was destroyed to build a mosque. Yes, you got the parable, a tricky political comment to make in our spineless times.
But Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra succeeds. His ensemble is outstanding, whether it is Deepak Dobriyal playing Mamdu, the jalebi maker who is provoked into feeling his religion, or Aditi Rao Hydari who plays the bua who never got married. Sonam Kapoor is so beautiful and engaging that it seems the role of Bittu was written with her in mind. She conveys in a glance what other girls try so hard to do with their abs.

The romance between her and Abhishek is one of glances, half-finished exchanges, and mock fights that capture both her sweet and independent nature. Her desire to become an Indian Idol, which makes a somebody of a nobody, is at war with her growing love for Roshan.
Which brings me to Roshan. Is there another actor who is as brave as Abhishek Bachchan in Bollywood? Yes, there is Abhay Deol, but he hasn't had to bear the brunt of such big budget movies on his shoulders. In Delhi-6, Abhishek has excelled himself, getting the accent of a New York bred and born as pitch perfect as the bafflement of an outsider at the growing distress in the community. Roshan is that rare hero in Bollywood who has all the time in the world, whether it is to record pigeons on his phone or shake hands with a goat.

Yes, there is a cheesy encounter between him and his father, playing his grandfather, that could have been avoided but it's forgiven in a film that says so much with such economy. The scene between Roshan and his grandmother when he is wracked by confusion over whether to stay or go, the part where a cow giving birth to her baby holds up traffic in the entire street even as he is trying to get his grandmother to the hospital and yet another bit where the entire community virtually sits down to sing in a candlelit jagran are wonderful.

Hey, am I making this movie sound serious? It's not only that. There's a lot of subtle humour here, whether it is the exchanges between the feisty Bittu and Roshan, or Roshan's American awe-isms. "Oh, look, Dadi," he says at one point, watching the Ramlila, "that's the bit with the golden deer." Among the many lovely lines written by Prasoon Joshi, there's one I really liked: "Hindustan ke nalon main paani ho na ho, hamari ankhon main zaroor hota hai (India may not have water in its taps, but it has enough in its eyes)," says the Nawab. Quite. You'll be shedding a lot of that water in the course of this movie. Go watch it. Now. But at leisure. As they would say in old Delhi, "fursat se".

Why to watch it:
1. Abhishek Bachchan. "Bahut hi shaista bachcha hai," says the local Muslim leader. Yes, and back to looking super cool as well.
2. The ensemble cast, from Om Puri to Sheeba Chadha, Atul Kulkarni to a surprising Cyrus Sahukar, is awesome.
3. The romance between Sonam and Abhishek. Old fashioned, goose-bumpish nice.

What to avoid:
1. A ridiculous encounter with Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek.
2. That's all.

Wondering how to get started with this blog??.......Don't worry, Gizmo will guide you!!

Watch this video and see what Gizmo is trying to tell!!

 



Sidhu(Akshay Kumar) is the lowest on the totem pole, cutting vegetables at road side food stall in Chandni Chowk in Delhi. He longs to escape his dreary existence and looks for shortcuts with astrologers, tarot reader and fake fakirs, basically anything except himself, despite his father figure Dada's (Mithun Chakravorty) best efforts.

His redeeming moment arrives when two strangers from China claim him as reincarnation of a war hero in the past and take him to china. Sidhu now dreams of wine, women and princely existence in foreign lands. Thanks to the devious translator, a conman by the name Chopstick(Ranvir Shorey), little does he know that he is being taken to the promised land to rid the Chinese village of the vicious smuggler Hojo(Gordon Liu)!

So Sidhu blissfully sets forth to China with Chopstick who instigates dreams of a delicious future and forgets to reveal the perils which await him. Along the way he meets Sakhi(Deepika Padukone), Ms. Tele Shoppers Media (Ms TSM) who has embarked on a journey to pay homage to the land of her birth and her dead father and twin.

Initially Sidhu through a series of lucky coincidences manages to sidestep being beaten by Hojo's men but finally Hojo catches up with him and exposes him as the country buffoon that he really is. Sidhu has the fire of revenge in his belly and finds the one man who will make him Kungfu expert and set the village free. Armed with his Sifu(master), faith in himself and the love of the fair Sakhi Sidhu sets forth to conquer all!.

  • GHAJINI REVIEW

How do you count eight packs? The question plagues you when you first come at Aamir Khan in his new movie. His rippling musculature has been all the focus, through the past month, in print, in TV, in hoardings. That, and the buzz cut, with deep scars running through, showing the scalp. This is an Aamir we haven't seen before—fronting a frame filling physique, flaunting matter over mind.
If you had 15 minutes of memory, what would you cram into that terrifyingly short span? The name of your loved one, your phone number, your home? If you were a regular joe, that's exactly what you'd do, but if you are Aamir Khan in ‘Ghajini', you would bulk up your body, tattoo the name of the man you need to kill, and smear your walls with violent graffiti.
Short term memory loss means you forget, everything, within a short span of time. And the moment you get back into the zone, re-building the pieces of your life, the clock starts ticking again, for the next meltdown. It's a fascinating premise for a movie, and a few years ago, ‘Memento', made by Christopher Nolan, gave us a unique hero who suffers from short haul amnesia, while he searches for his beloved's killer.
In 2005, the Tamil ‘Ghajini', inspired by ‘Memento', catapulted the till-then-on-the-fringes lead pair of Surya and Asin into the frontlines, and turned out to be a monster hit.
Aamir Khan's first film this year, is a faithful remake of the Tamil film (with a lot of the original crew , including the director) barring a couple of twists in the climax. It has Aamir doing an out-and-out actioner after a long time (‘Sarfarosh' in 1999 was the last time he went around brandishing guns and decimating baddies). It also has him bare-chested for a lot of the running time, because he needs to display his impressively muscled frame. So is it good?
Not really, no. The thing with doing a film like this is that you have to completely get with the flow of the film, and here Aamir is split down the middle. When he's Sanjay Singhania, the billionaire boy friend of wannabe celeb Kalpana (Asin), pretending to be a broke model himself, to insinuate himself into her good books, he's just fine.
Aamir Khan has done a wonderful job. Be it the bold, energetic business magnate or the wild chaser Aamir has stolen the show.He along with Asin are among the very few positives in this movie.And he once again shows why he is known as Mr.Perfectionist.But the thing he is he shouldn’t have done this movie in the first place.This isn’t his type of film.
The sequence in which he first sees her help a bunch of disabled kids and loses his iron-clad heart to her, is a winner. So are a few others: how many impossibly wealthy men carry ‘chutta' to give the ‘pani puri wala'? He flips him his platinum card, and we crack a smile, as we are meant to.
The maximum fun is had by Asin, nicely curved and rounded, very far from unreal size zeroes, making her Hindi cinema debut. She plays pretty much the same role as she did in the original-- loud, warm, emotional, and is the best part of the movie, but even she can't liven up the pallid songs-and-dances. Third lead Jiah Khan, the medical student who studies the amnesiac and ends up first hindering then helping him, is a total loss-- she has to speak Hindi and do an item number, and both are beyond her. The villain (Pradeep Rawat) looks like he's a bit part stretched into something he can't quite handle: is he the only one they could find?
Too long, at three hours and some. Too violent. The bad guy goes around wielding a rusted iron jack and bashing peoples' heads in. And so not Aamir: ‘Ghajini' is engaging, only intermittently. Can we please have our old Aamir, the actor-star who's taught present-day mainstream Bollywood to think, back again?

  • RAB NE BANA DI JODI REVIEW

Destiny plays a cruel joke on an extremely enthusiastic young girl Taani (Anushka) as she loses her fiancé and his family in a road accident on the eve of her marriage. Her father, a retired professor, on his death bed requests her to marry his old favorite student, Surinder Shahani (SRK). Taani obeys his last wish and thus begins the start of this extraordinary love story between an otherwise ordinary jodi.
The shy, somewhat geeky Surinder has already fallen for Taani since the first time he has seen her but alls his hopes crash when Taani tells him the day they arrive at his house that she won’t be able to give him any love as that’s one feeling she has lost forever with the sudden turn of events in her life. The rest of the film is about how Suri transforms himself into a very hep flirtatious dude Raj to win her love using a dancing school as a platform for his antics. He is well aided with his childhood buddy Bobby (Pathak) who brings on the physical transformation in him. But what happens is Taani who is unaware of Raj being Suri himself ends up falling in love with Raj. Suri is now again in a fix but then he finally decides to take a bold step
Rab Ne has been definitely amongst the most awaited films of 2008 and there have been great expectations riding on it especially because it is Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge maker Aditya Chopra’s comeback film after a long gap of 8 years. The script has its moments and master craftsman Adi keeps you engaged initially with some really beautifully handled moments between SRK and Anushka. But as SRK’s character’s transformation comes in the grip slowly loosens and you start feeling restless with the pace slumping down considerably. What follows is a criss-cross between some really well penned and executed scenes and some really drab moments with badly placed songs acting as speed breakers. But Adi’s terrific dialogues deserve a special applause for touching the right chords.
Shah Rukh Khan is simply superb as first the shy Suri and then the flamboyant, full of energy, Raj. Newcomer Anushka gets a really well etched character to perform and it despite being her first film, she comes across an absolute natural. Vinay Pathak is fun and provides good comic relief.
Music of the film is good but the problem is apart from a very well tuned and picturised Haule Haule number, the rest songs appear wrongly placed. The picturisation of the number featuring Kajol, Preity Zinta, Bipasha Basu, Lara Dutta and Rani is mind blowing but again it coming at a wrong juncture doesn’t really make it work.
All in all, the film has the capacity to do very well in the North and the overseas but elsewhere the film won’t be anywhere near Adi’s earlier two works in terms of business.

RESULT:

So the verdict is clear: Ghajini and Rab ne are both average movies,Rab Ne being the better one..When It comes to acting it’s a tie between Aamir and Shah Rukh. Bollywood is lucky to have them because these two can turn average fares into blockbusters as Rab Ne and Ghajini proved.
