The time tested college story has worked again but it is disappointing to c an average movie rated so highly. The story narration is slumpy and goes slow mid way. the songs have no flow with the movie and are force fitted. Inspite of a fresh song like aditi...the other tracks are just not of rehman standard..because of the bad lyrics.<br /><br />The only upside of the film are Naseeruddin Shah who is a maverick and does even the slightest of roles to the best and leaves a mark.Arbaaz and Sohail khan deliver a very good comedy in an industry starved of good comedy for generations together.<br /><br />PS: Sonali's character in DCH was completely in the place and in the flow of the movie. when a movie is set in mumbai..wats so wrong in having a maharashtrian. i guess it imroves the feel of the movie.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Venkatesh KumarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17834923.post-71470061581225310372008-08-04T01:00:00.000+08:002008-08-04T01:00:00.000+08:00My fave bits in Darjeeling are 1) all scenes with ...My fave bits in Darjeeling are <BR/><BR/>1) all scenes with Adrien Brody. Yum.<BR/><BR/>2) when Owen Wilson orders for his brothers, and decides the beds for them, and plans everything ahead for them. And then you see how the mom does it even more and that's probably where he learned it from. It's hilarious! That's exactly how neuroses get passed down from generation to generation and you almost always have one complete control freak in every batch of siblings :P I love it when art imitates life like that!Zeenat Rasheedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230862380327262599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17834923.post-40191576855627573202008-08-04T00:57:00.000+08:002008-08-04T00:57:00.000+08:00It was a little too spaced out for me, but still q...It was a little too spaced out for me, but still quite an engrossing movie. Of course I was watching it really really deeply (by myself) and 20 mins before the end, the entire khandan (Sarwar and his parents/sister) traipsed in from an afternoon of shopping and completely disregarded my concentration and began yapping away. So I had to finish it off on my laptop in my room :P I don't get how people can't shut up when someone is watching a movie. *eyeroll*<BR/><BR/>I heart Imran Khan. He's the hero of this new story I've come up with. Guess who's the heroine? :D:D:DZeenat Rasheedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230862380327262599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17834923.post-33407660128380250502008-08-03T22:57:00.000+08:002008-08-03T22:57:00.000+08:00Yay!!!

Pratiek Babbar. I really enjoyed his performance and the way his role unfolded. In all, I would have preferred a little less of the dopey Maharashtrian chick (I made the same analogy to Sonali Kulkarni too) and more of Amit. In fact, I have been mulling over a screenplay regarding brother/sister interplay for the past few years and just recently I've nailed down a story, for which a lot of the inspiration came from JTYJN and, oddly enough, Darjeeling Limited. Remind me to fill you in on this soon.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, you'll be happy to know that "Jaane tu meri kya hai" (male and female versions) were both shot but left on the cutting room floor because of the film's length. So actually last week Aamir Khan released a new version of the film in theaters and included both songs in it. (Yeah I read his blog a *lot*) Unfortunately the longer version won't be run outside India but we'll prolly get it on the DVD. It was a smart move on his part as a producer - guaranteed way to get repeat viewers of the movie once the initial hysteria has died down among the teen crowd. But they were included initially and you may get to see them after all :)Zeenat Rasheedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230862380327262599noreply@blogger.com
