i sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo agree with you!!

Wow... VC, u havent changed a tad bit.. thought u wud hav.. after 'marriage' n all.. but ur still da same ol Vc with BRILLIANT THOUGHTS!

Thanks a lot, for being one of the almost extinct crowd who think Avatar is sooo not the movie of the year!!! Lets not forget Terminator Salvation and Avatar comes from the same man..and he has made the same mistakes in both. Real bad job at editing and loose story.

Infact, here are my favorites..atleast ones i can remember:-

1. Sherlock holmes:- Wow! What plot...what action..and wat movie..and did u kno it is not based on any of the novel stories? Wow.. simply genius!

2. 2012:- Oh God! Watched it twice.. n still got goosebummps second time! It is breathtaking.. n i like the fact tat indians are recognized..for our brains! Indian guy is the hero.. eventually even in last bits..they talk about him!

3. 3 Idiots :- For the typical Hirani style movie.. living up to Munna Bhai series.. and well,i also enjoyed the controversy with five point someone. I think ther is more to this than what media can make it to be.. and that truth is.. u can look at this glass half empty or half full.. thats where it stands today! Movie has major plot taken from the book..so, there is no doubt the movie is 'based' on the book.. even Director and Producers dont disagree on that.. The whole issue is only about the ... See Morecredit. I also noticed the rolling titles.. and couldn't find Chetan Bhagat's name prominent. I read this novel so many years back.. but witout knowing.. i could relate this movie to this novel right away.. that shows that movie's similiarities go beyond 5-10% it is more or less close to 50%.. So its either 50% similar as Chetan says.. or 50% different as Movie makers say! Its like toss of a coin.. no one can say for sure...

psst... i loved ur comment on Ninja Assasin.. It ran here with uncensored scenes.. meaning too much blood! Yuck!! Its the first n only movie i watched it from the gap between my fingers.. or most of the time was putting my head into the bucket of popcorn..trying to make the crunchy sounds overpower the aaaah ooohhh sounds.

VC, Here is my take...

Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani>> Okay movie, with great songs. And its so refreshing to see a young Hero.

Chandni Chowk To China>> What a waste, But "Aloo mein Ganeshji" was funny.

De Dana Dan>> Where do i watch this?

Delhi 6 >> Abhishek sucks, He came to sets with costumes, and did nothing in the movie. His dad was pulled in when he must have come to pick up Abi..

Kaminey> Agree. Film of the year..
I just loved the background music when they chase shahid at the hotel. Might still go underrated but this is the closest bollywood can get to Tarantino (Atleast until now).

Luck By Chance>> Okay movie, Farhan is plastic as actor. He should concentrate on direction.

Love Aaj Kal>> When deepika speaks she sounds so much like Hema Malini..(Nahiii...mein nachoongi..)

New York >> Another waste from YRF, All NRI dudes have no accent??I don't believe this.

Rocket Singh (Salesman of the Year)> This was pretty well made movie, lot of things can be argued about the plot. But the fact was was its at least worth watching til the end.

Slumdog Millionaire >> I don't want to talk about this..

Wake Up Sid >> Very good movie, simple and neat.

I want to watch RADIO :( >> Me too..

Avatar > This is easily the movie of the year. I wish i had a bike which could just bond and keep going anywhere i want.


Inglorious Basterds>> Awsome..Agreed. I want to buy this DVD.
