Ekdum jhakaas

Only way I can describe Lage Raho. The movie kicked a$$ in the best methodology that a$$ can be kicked. The combination of a great "original" story featuring characters with incredible comic timing come together to make a legendary flick! More like this, Bollywood.

In other news, am quite eager to see Brian De Palma's comeback vehicle, and he's chosen a fascinating subject with Black Dahlia. The curious life and gruesome, mysterious death of Elizabeth Short was almost as puzzling as the unraveling, through a strange series of events after her murder. Goes right up there with Monroe, Kennedy and Area 51. Its strangeness surrounding the incident, did inspire a large degree of noir work, but its awesome that De Palma is reviving this tale that testifies that truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

Would trust him entirely to put the exact blend of darkness and mystic appeal to this story. Haven't seen much from him in the last decade, except for MI:1 and Snakeeyes (I'm not counting Mission To Mars, that was highly forgettable).
