But i always wondered, why the fuck the film is based on some kind of Pan European family living in some misty mountains. Again, i liked the film and ABs performance. I went to this film after the huge hype surrounding it. Infact, if based on India, the film could have been much more dramatic and insightful, considering the social angle invovled in the problem. Why the film has to be even based in Australia? I could not think of any reason. But there is always a thing that bothered me. It was my first film after getting a job. Want to make some crappy shit out of some crappy ideas? Lets go to Goa.įirst, this film called, Salaam Nameste that came ten years ago. Want to make a romantic film? Lets go to Australia. The general attitude seems to be, Want to make a heist film? lets go to USA. I watch at-least a few Hindi films every year and IMHO bollywood has produced some really really entertaining films like Chak De, and really sensible films like Udaan and TZP in the last ten years.īut what always worried me is that the main stream Bollywood is always disconnected from the native land. I am a Tamilian and as an outsider in "Bollywood" audience, I have this problem with hindi films for a long long time now.

The worst thing is the absolutely mental midget ending scene where the villain pokes out his own eye, and then goes on a Kill Bill (more like Kill Dil) style slashing rampage, and ominously conveying to the now brain dead audience that sequels are guaranteed until your grandkids die.Īll in all this movie should be played to death row inmates so that they can take their lives on their own instead of suffering two miserable hours. That Amitabh movie about emotion and motion seemed interesting. The best part of the experience was watching trailers for other movies at the beginning. However, the script and acting (some of them) have been going down the drain. I see this repeatedly all over the Indian movie scene: camerawork, cinematography, sets, costumes, lighting, sound, special FX all have evolved and assumed grander roles. There were more useless twists in this sodden story than in the streets of chor bazaar. Any three year old high on sugar could have written a better script than this. Did they offer to pay no more than a couple of hundred rupees for the foreign cast? The Brit and the Jap seemed to be vomiting Hindi syllables in a dying attempt to talk.Īnd the script and its execution was laughably ridiculous. A group of idiots with Botox injections all over their face would have emoted better than this scatter brained cast. I'll give it this much: that the sets were well composed, but where on fuck was all the Bengali in Calcutta? Why were the newspapers and the sign boards in Hindi? It's shit like this that irks me: where the movie makers think that they are breaking grounds with this level of details, but still think the audience is stupid enough that they have to spoonfeed them Hindi in dialogs and sign boards. This movie is so utterly crapsoidal, it makes any 80s Govinda movie look like Schindler's List. I returned from the theater, and I want to give my brain an enema and regain the lost 2 hours in my life.
