Himeshbhai

I think Himesh Reshamiya is highly underrated. The kind of music he has created over the years is incredible. I've been a fan of likes of A.R.Rehman, Preetam & others. Himeshbhai might not have that great variety in his music, but what he creates is absolute gems. One thing I've noticed is, I like his remixes more than his original songs. May be my taste of music is like that. I am totally overwhelmed by his compositions like Tadap remix (Darling), Viraniya (Namaste London), Shaka laka boom boom remix, Main jahaa rahoon (Namaste London)... I'm sure there are many more...

Music of one two three

There are no doubts that "One Two Three" is one of the best movies of its time.

I am listening to the title track... and I realize what good job Raghav & Kunal Ganjawala have done. Great work. Its sad that their work didn't get appreciated as much as it should have been.

one two three

Another great movie of recent times was "One Two Three". It was so hillarious :)

I wonder why such well-made movies don't do well at the box office. I found treatment of the movie extremely good. The touch of "office office" was quite visible with the jokes & cast. 

The characters were funny & likable. Even Sunil Shetty does a great job. 

I'm very happy with the movie, and encourage the team to keep up the good work. 

A Wednesday

I found this movie amazing, so tightly scripted & brilliantly handled. 

The acting of the whole cast was exceptional. I think that happenes when the movie has been handled well by the director. Anupam Kher is an exceptional actor without any doubts. Despite of doing so many out-of-his-league roles, he has still been able to maintain his class. 

Nasir bhai is a gem. Nothing needs to be said for him. 

The supporting cast did great as well. Jimi shergil surprised me. The other guy (he was good in pyar ke side effects too) did a great job too. 

Its an out-n-out well-made film. Hope it strikes on the box office. 

Movie Review - Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd.

This is a nice, likable film if you don't look for resolution of the movie. This is not a "all well that ends well" or "..and they lived happily ever after" sort of movie. Well, to a small extent it is. But its more of a narration of past of a few people, how they end up together on a trip & how they spend their 4 days together. During this trip they get to know each other, learn about each other & explore their relationship.

This is a story of six couples which meet during a honeymoon trip to Goa (by bus).

I loved the way the whole film was handled. A nice directorial touch was visible throughout the whole film. All characters were nicely portrayed. Everyone was give sufficient screen time. I loved usage of old songs through out the movie, as the songs were aptly chosen & played at the right time. Acting was brilliant. Music was great as well... especially "pyar ki ye kahani suno" and "aisa mera pyar hai".

Boman Irani & Shabana Azmi: Boman Irani was fantastic. He could convinsingly portray a mid-age newly-wed, showing all his experience & knowledge of life. Shabana accompanied him well.

Kay Kay Menon & Raima Sen: This was a great bengali couple. Both of them did great. Kay kay is really brilliant. His performances are too cool. I loved him in Sarkar. This was another nicely done job. Raima was great as well. I haven't seen her much. But this was a good one.

Amisha Patel & Karan Khanna: Amish looked a bit kiddish at times, but may be the role demanded her to be that way. Karan was good. They have a song together which might have been avoided :)

Vikram Chatwal & Sandhya Mridul: Sandhya was great as always. She has some potential, but hasn't been able to get mainstream roles. I think she was great in "Waisa bhi hota hai Part II", but the film never came into limelight. Vikram did his job well.

Diya Mirza, Ranvir Shorey & Arjun Rampal: Ranvir was great as usual. This guy is too cool. Look at how convincingly he portrayed a delhi-guy in "khosla ka ghosla" and he was as convincing as a young-forcefully wedded-gujarati guy. But his role ended too soon. It would have been fun if he had been around for some more time :) Diya & Arjun didn't have much to do, but were suited in the roles they played.

Abhay Deol & Minissha Lamba: This was another fantastic couple. Minissha looked great. Abhay was cool. Their song-dance was too cool. Loved it.

Overall this was quite an enjoyable piece. It looked as it came from sister of Farhan "dch" Akhtar. Hope it does well at boxoffice (which I doubt).
