Tere naal love ho gaya!

A very light, sweet, and cute love story. 2012 is definitely the best year for Ritesh and Genelia. The couple is on cloud nine. Their wedding played a pivotal role in promoting their film. The wedding celebration lasted almost two weeks and the hype created by the media surely generated enough curiosity to see this lovely couple’s film. Believe me, it is one of the main reasons why people are watching this film. It didn’t do wonders at the box office but it was refreshing to see the couple romance through the hill stations of our country.

The script is not-so-original however; the presence of the lovely couple allures the audience. Genelia seemed to play her natural role. We’ve seen her bubbly side in ‘Jaane Tu Yah Jaane Na’ and she acts somewhat a similar character. As far as Ritesh goes, he has performed far better. After watching Housefull, Kya Kool Hain Hum, and many more of his comical roles; it’s hard to digest his portrayal in this film. Ritesh has aced the funny roles in his previous movies. However, in TNLHG he tried to play a ‘romantic hero’.

Om Puri is always excellent in his roles. Not only did he convince us with his Haryanvi accent, he also managed to make us giggle here n there. Tinu Anand’s desperate father figure performance entertained the public quite a bit. He never fails to amuse us with his different characters. TNLHG is a onetime watch film. If you adore Mr & Mrs. Deshmukh’ go for the movie. It’s interesting to see their chemistry on-screen as well.

DON 2 = CRAP 2

Okay, all you SRK lovers…relax! Take a deep breath and go on with the article. This past weekend, the hype was off the hook. Everyone was electrified to see what SRK has in the store. Since DON was a super hit; DON 2 had higher expectations. I’ve heard mixed reactions from the public. Some gave it a 4 star and some barely a star.

The beginning of the movie surely showed SRK as the macho-man. The man has definitely worked on his body; built some muscles and looks pretty darn handsome. As the movie progressed, it was hard to keep yourself intact. Almost all the scenes seemed predictable. The real suspense was completely missing. I’m not sure if the readers agree to this or not but didn’t it feel like the movie only revolved around SRK? There were such great actors but all wasted. Boman Irani – no one can beat his acting skills in this day n age. He steals the show every time. However, he was barely given any dialogues or masala. Priyanka Chopra – I clearly remember how much impact she left in the first movie. DON 2 completely forgot they had PC as the lead heroine. She was given the full stage in the last song at the end of the movie when the audience was leaving the premises. Om Puri was the phone guy throughout the movie. Kunal Kapoor gave an exceptionally well performance. I believe the only reason that happened is because he’ll have a big role in DON 3. Yeah…you heard that right! There will be another DON. Gosh…!

Frankly speaking, I was looking forward to Lara Dutta in this movie. From the trailers, I was so agitated to see her performance. She’s a superlative actress! However, she was signed to perform one song wearing skimpy clothes and added a bit of glamour. Disappointed by Farhan Akhtar. Since, he’s one of most favored actor and director.

Now, I look forward to Agneepath. Hrithik – we are so counting on you…!
