-8 steps from the door !


The last time I watched a first day first show of a movie without bothering about reviews and hype was “Band Baaja Baaraat “ and it was entertaining . So was Hasee toh Phassee sometimes you just know it’s going to be a fun movie.
Yep it was fun, I got to spend 2 hours with my daughter with no disturbances at all  - apart from the time the lil lady wanted to see the popcorn kernels go – POP .    

>> I have to mention this song –  very catchy ! Watch the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVkU8dDSC9w

I said I wasn’t gonna lose my head
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn’t gonna fall in love again
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)


So there we were 5 minutes into the movie ,the lil lady was mesmerized by the big screen, the laughing crowd and the smells of popcorn( oops that was me) and then it got too much for her and she let me know bubbly eyes and heart wrenching wail . I had to stand on the stairs holding and swaying her and ended up spending the next 2 hours at Step 5- from the door and sometimes especially during song sequences  step -8 ( 8 steps outside the door). I won't deny the fact that we were dancing or in our case- shaking a couple of legs and 1 small booty to that Punjabi song. We ended up watching the movie ( the most part) with the popcorn boys. Sadly they did not share their popcorn.

I was not annoyed when my wife pointed out  ( last count 18 , add a few more because I stopped counting after the first 30 minutes of the movie ) that the new kid on the block Mr Sidharth Malhotra was charming and a hulk ; because annoyance is an unpleasant mental state that is characterized by such effects as irritation and distraction from one's conscious thinking. I was not going to be “annoyed” no way !

The movie turned out to be a fast paced love story with several  “Oh “ moments and the songs were all Hip and Happening .
