The genius called A.R. Rahman..

Its awesome!!

Even after repeated listening, I can't even remember half of the lyrics...
But its a sure fire HIT!!
God bless Rahman..

Worth the wait!!..

Merry Christmas!!...

So it was quite an un-eventful day to start with. Was raining cats and dogs when I had to leave for office. Reached office partly drenched. Was just looking forward to finish work ASAP, as we could leave anytime after lunch. Decided to not waste the christmas eve, and instead go to Orchard with frenz.

Here is when the day became eventful. Anyone who is even an iota of an Aamir fan would know that Ghajini released today (in Singapore). Somehow came with the idea of catching the 8:45 show at Jade. Rushed from Orchard to Bugis to get the tickets.. (y does no one pick the damn phone??)
But as luck would have it we did not get the tickets...

Since we were in the mood to watch a movie, went back to Orchard to catch "Yes Man".. though personally I was quite upset.. was sulking over having to watch Jim carrey over Aamir Khan...
Anyways, y it was eventful was because we didnt get tickets for the 9 something show of "Yes Man" at Shaw House.. Then we rushed to Cathay and the same story... God they couldnt even manage to give us seats together for the 11:35 show.

That was the last straw.. So unanimously decided to go for Ghajini@ Jade - the 12:15 show..
Gawd thats late but what the heck.. long weekend up ahead.. :)
Events didnt cease to happen.. I lost my ez-link card... :(
But that did not deter us from returning back to Jade.. this time we managed to grab the tickets.. and pretty good seats... :)
Oh god wot an evening...

But then came the best part... Finally got to enter the theatre... I don't rememeber the last time I saw a movie on the first day itself (I think it was Andaaz apna apna)... actually technically speaking, saw it one day before it releases in India... Yay!!
And boy Wot a movie!!!
It was totally worth the wait, the running around and every penny... (including the ez-link card i lost)...
I don't really want to spill any beans.. so would not really discuss the movie... atleast not today...
But you have to watch it for yourself...
Its not probably one of the greatest movies... but Aamir has done an exceptional job!!
You can take my word for it.. why else would I be writing this at almost 5 in the morning...
Aamir khan rocks!!!
He is supreme.. he has surpassed himself... I love him all over again!!!

And to top it all, they even showed promos of Billoo barber, Lucky By Chance (farhaan akhtar is back) & Chandni chowk to China... even more paisa vasool... the joy of my movie experience increases manifold if i can catch a few good trailers.. :)

But seriously, Aamir has done a great job, full justice to his role.. and its quite amazing to see his eight pack abs. Hats off to the perfectionist!!

Truly Golmaal hai...

So, I have been on a old hindi comedy watching spree... Just finished watching Golmaal(old) for the umpteenth time...


Its a gem.. like Utpal Dutt says - Asli Heera!!!
The characterization / dialogues / acting - everything's perfect..

Hrishikesh mukherjee was a wizard of a director.. again he spells magic in this film..

Here are a few fav scenes/dialogues from the film.. I am sure you will agree...

The way Utpal Dutt says - "Jiske paas mooch nahi hai, uske paas mann hi nahi hai"

"Kaun kambakht kehta hai ki hitler marr gaya"

The kurta selection scene.. Hari bhai aka Sanjeev kumar's kurta is broad enuff to fit 2 sanjeev kumars... :)

The interview scene is too good. The way Ram prasad dashrath prasad sharma keeps fibbing has u ROFL..

"Mujhe to yeh pata nahi tha ki Moti kala bhi hota hai.. main to yehi samjhta tha ki moti kewal shwet varniya hota hai".. while discussing "Pele"...

"Manushya ko apne adarsh aur moocho ka uchit aadar karna chaiye"..."Mooch to mann ka darpan hai".. ha ha...

The way he comes up with - "Kurta to sharir ke uparardh ki lajja nivaran ke liye hota hai..." to explain his really short kurta, is hilarious..

Bindiya goswami's natak practice scene where she says - "I m Nataking daddy, yeh natak hai"

The "mali" scene.. "Jiska naam bhawani shankar ho woh to paida hote hi buddha ho gaya"..

The "Ulte phere" dialogue in the climax... :)

The best scene has to be the one where Dina pathak enters the house from the kitchen window. Her expressions are priceless!!

Care to add any more??

Plus it has the absolutely melodious "Aane Wala Pal..Jaanewla Hai" sung by Kishore Kumar..
Completely reflects my theory of life.."Live each moment to the fullest"..

The quality of comedy is unparalleled.. Wish they could make something as funny these days, instead of the inane, leave-ur-brains@home comedies we get to see these days...

I am sure you must have seen the movie.. If by any remotest chance u have not, go grab a copy of the DVD today itself...
Happy watching!!
