But I'm happy to share.<br /><br />Mette - I was almost afraid to write something anti-Kajol since everyone else is so worshippy about her. I like her ok but have never found her to be the revelation that everyone else acts like she is. And most of the time, like in this film, I find her acting style sort of screechy and annoying. With a better cast, that movie might have been better.<br /><br />Sitaji - Vaanam was a good one! I hadn't heard of the Anwar film you are watching, but I am one of the few that believes that Manisha Koirala is truly a talented actress. Interested to see your thoughts on that one!<br /><br />Beth - I am definitely working on an Ajith Kumar post, as well as an Arjun one (I'm a bit more inspired by the Arjun one right now). Just need to find time to sit down and write it all out! I hadn't heard of the Main Hoon Na remake and just looked it up! I missed quite a few of his films after he shifted from romantic hero to action hero (post-marriage). I liked the young, romantic Manohar from Kandukonden! But DO NOT watch the movie Varalaaru - The Godfather. The logic made me want to scratch out someone's eyeballs.Amaluuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380614143900866533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501152519466729132.post-56327490767013912412011-09-19T10:59:05.803-04:002011-09-19T10:59:05.803-04:00I need to bug you for an Ajith film list someday. ...I need to bug you for an Ajith film list someday. I really like him in the two Hindi films and tons of songs I've seen, though I cannot really explain why. I heard his remake of Main Hoon Na was dreadful - did you see it?Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501152519466729132.post-25089072531722193782011-09-18T11:21:50.743-04:002011-09-18T11:21:50.743-04:00Namasteji!

I like the mix and I'm curious to catch Vanaam now, your description of: "one of those films where multiple storylines are all running at the same time until they all converge in the climax," reminds me of what I'm 1/2 through watching, Anwar, not the Prithiviraj one, but this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_(2007_film) Gotta get back to it!<br />All the best,<br />Sita-jiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501152519466729132.post-63884289312244555682011-09-10T06:41:13.873-04:002011-09-10T06:41:13.873-04:00Kajol was awful in WAF, indeed, but I also didn...Kajol was awful in WAF, indeed, but I also didn't like the role of the eldest sister - thought she was quite ungrateful. On the whole, I didn't really like the film. I also tried watching Housefull on my flight to Mexico, but after 10 minutes I shut it down. <br />Patiala House is also lying around near my DVD-player, so I'll get around and watch it very soon.Mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094234448852441633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501152519466729132.post-17780136097267730932011-09-09T23:27:30.039-04:002011-09-09T23:27:30.039-04:00I totally agree on the hotness of Ajith (and Arjun...I totally agree on the hotness of Ajith (and Arjun) in Mankatha. But boy, was that a loud movie.<br /><br />I wish Sun TV was an option in my cable market, I'd have so much fun watching unsubbed Tamil movies. I'll just have to settle for tracking down Seedan, Siruthai, Vaanam and Peranmai on dvd.dustdevil lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564737263775943203noreply@blogger.com
