MBKD vs. SBAG

In the past couple of days I saw Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and Sahib Biwi aur Gangster. The difference between the two films is massive! MBKD comes under the biggest ever production house with Shiela in it along with Imran Khan [highly pampered and promoted by his own Mamu]. Whereas SBAG falls under a very small banner. As you can see, I don’t even know the name of the production house. The cast of the movie is also famous only for small budget films unlike Shiela and Pappu. The storyline of MBKD seems to be one of the standard scripts. On the other SBAG had a strong storyline and kept its viewers intact till the end. Not at all predictable.

Mahie Gill, Jimmy Shergill, and Randeep Hooda; I’m flabbergasted at their acting skills. All three brandished a very controlling and dynamic presence on the screen. Even the extra characters got the opportunity to flaunt their acting skills to the highest degree. Mahie gave the goose bumps with her maniac-ness. She holds no chance in front of many of our A-list actresses but she has proved her strong hold in the industry with her competent acting skills. If Shiela can win million hearts with her patli kamaria; Mahie can enchant the public with her dialogue delivery. Pappu started his career under the production of Aamir Khan and the movie was a super hit for obvious reasons. However, not every struggler in B’town is born with a golden spoon. For example: Jimmy Shergill; he climbed the ladder with enormous hurdles but he sure has a firm foot in the industry. SBAG proved his potential and excellent acting skills. The same goes for Randeep Hooda; his suave look and passion for ‘Biwi’ was par excellence. Personal opinion: Him and Sush sure made a steamy couple! *wink wink*

Back to MBKD; well except for the songs the movie didn’t do justice at all. These days Katrina Kaif has only become a product which can be sold in songs. She may not be able to act but she sure can make the country dance on her tunes. Main do dhaari talwaar yaar…

I luv hate stories/I hate luv stories…

Firstly, what’s the deal with the most ridiculous title? Is it just me or is everyone baffled with it? Well, horrendous script to begin with. I’m not sure how Karan Johar got convinced after reading the fabricated manuscript? Sonam cannot act! No questions, no doubts…! It was clearly portrayed in the film. She claims to be a diva only because of the ‘Kapoor’ surname else she has no talent of her own. The second she started spilling words out of her mouth, I knew I’ll only fancy her personal attire. If my memory is sharp then I think she’s got Delhi Belly in her kitty and then the road closes for her. Unless dumb directors like Karan Johar desperately want to direct some baloney w/ Sonam Kapoor.

Imran on the other hand is trying too hard to become like his ‘mamu’. Well, my advice to him would be ‘don’t try at all.’ The guy definitely has a cute look reserved only for teenagers. The same teenagers who spell love as luv… however, that’s it! Imran has a long road ahead of him. Also, he can stop declaring to the entire world that he’s ‘taken’, no girl is willing to marry him, it’s just a crush for the time being. The day he turns 30, teenagers will hunt for some other cute, adorable face.

About the movie, like I said horrendous script. Not a single character was pro at his/her job. Even the luv scenes were not convincing in any way, I think I cracked up on a few… Infact, each time Imran spoke to his mom, I knew she had to be some high profile actress ‘BUT’, it was Anju Mahendru. My goodness, I don't know what went wrong with her? She carries her role very responsibly. However, even she fell flat the minute I glanced at the ‘wig’. Yeah, even an 8 yr old could have pointed that out! The film was clearly saved by the songs. After Rajneeti, a huge disappointment from Raavan and IHLS… ughhh!!! Oh well, Bollywood is not famous for giving blockbusters in a row. The movie was conclusively rubbish; at least it could have been entertainingly rubbish!
