DHOOM 2...Stylish...but no Substance...
No Logic...Full of Style...No substance...Full of
Surprises...Great action...and even greater acting
by hrithik...who just blows u away with countless
Get-Ups and Striking Performances,once again...
He is the Heart n Soul of this flick...He just takes
the story("A One Liner")...for a Roller Coaster ride..
on his lone shoulders...If you are a gal...Your eyes
pop out everytime you see him walking into the frame...
If you are a guy...your mouth's wide open..
when Ash does the same...
Your nerve cracks and your heart throbs...when you
see these two romancing for the first time together
on screen...MAN!!!...dont they look great together...
But what about the plot...Where is the story???
Well..Honestly...Hrithik is the only reason why you
should watch DHOOM2...Or rather...I would put it
this way...Hrithik!!!..The only reason why you shouldn't
Miss DHOOM2...
In short...keep little aspirations...and Expect the Unexpected...
Just leave your logic cells aside...and Ch!LLoUT...
Come...Let's DHOOM Again...
SRK's Verdict-**{*-Poor,**-Good,***-Great,
****-Dont Miss It,*****-Movie of a Lifetime}

SRK's Review...
KANK says..."Dont marry someone for any reason,other than LOVE..."
It is undoubtedly the most awaited movie of this year...not
only for its Big star cast...Bigger budget..and even Bolder
theme...but also for it being the latest venture of a
writer,director who has been always written down by the
critics at first..but then risen as the winner at the end...a Man
who has become one among the most prollific story tellers of
hindi cinema with his 3 previous movies..KKHH,K3G...written
n directed by himself and KHNH...written n screenplayed.
The movie is none other than...Kabhi Alvida Naa
Kehna(KANK)...Now the most pivotal question is that,does it
come up to its expectations...and more relevantly..does it live
upto to the viewer's expectation and hype..prior to d movie
release...Well,the answer to that cannot be given rite
away...as it needs to be churn out by the viewer himself once
he starts thinking about the movie and the story line more
deeply after coming out of the theatre.
All said and done...let's come to the basic plot of the
film...wich is all about Relationships,Marriages and
Infedility...wich for a Karan johar movie is new..but an even
newer side of it is that..for the first time in his movies...all the
characters hav their own grey sides...and one feels for the
helplessness n the love of all of them differently at different
stages of the story..It is really a story of intense and innermost
feelings of normal married people whom we see around
us...but having said that,one should definitely agree that this
intense feeling of all the characters hav been etched to
perfection with the right relevance and depth to a certain
extent.The characterisation of the movie has done its duty
well as the viewer seems to relate with the emotions n
feelings of all the characters equally.
But all is well that ends well...The magic of karan johar's
writing is quite evident in the first half of the movie...as even
though it takes nearer to 2 hours,the screenplay is so
adequatly divided with the intense and lighter moments
having its own share on moving the story ahead.On the verge
of intermission,one feels that the movie is heading the right
way but stil thinking what could really happen to these
people and their feelings at the end as the viewer has already
started feeling for the characters as he sees someone just like
himself inside them.
For a movie which deals with such delicate feelings of
common married people has to b scripted with utmost
perfection as even the slightest lapse of a dialogue or a
moment in a scene can lead to the viewer drowning his head
down with dissatisfaction...And thats what happens with the
story as the deeds and reactions of the characters in the
latter stages of the movie tends to go away from the certain
boundaries which the viewer would have set by then, for the
feelings of the people in the movie,whom they see as
themselves...The fact that the viewer is relating to these
characters as a part of his own life,is a blessing for the story
as long as it moves well with the feelings of one who watches
it..
At a time when all the four main characters take the right
decisions realising their mistakes,atleast half of the viewers
would hav been disheartened by the sequences prior to
it...but the latter half would b keeping a final hope for the
characters whom they related with themselves until now,for
doing the right things in the right ways before it gets too
late...But the destiny of the movie and its characters ought to
b headed in such a way that this story can now go only in one
direction and thats wat leaves most of the viewers
dissatisfied with the coming scenes making them feel
that,"sadly,slowly and surely this is now going out of our
hands..."
Even the finale of the movie doesn't appeal to most of the
viewers as its more like "been there-done that" kind of an
ending to it...It certainly doesnt have that "expected,but stil
well played" climax of the karan johar movies of the past as it
could have been handled with a bit more care...Honestly one
doesn't expect such a simple climax from the such a great
writer of his caliber..But from the point of view of the
characters and their lives,one can't think of a different ending
than this..as by then its too late for compromises.
On a whole,KANK is a movie which deals with the innermost
n delicate feelings of the common married couples,which has
been handled with utmost care to a certain extent...But the
fate of the movie lies in the hearts of the viewers as its sure
that the opinions n views about the movie just after watching
it will surely start changing once or if u start thinking about
the characters n their situations in real life more deeply and
seriously.
The 3 main reasons to watch KANK are:
1.The story,the feelings and the characters whom u feel as a
part of urself at one stage or the other in ur life.
2.The music and the picturisation of the songs are nothing
lesser than mind blowing,especially the "Title song" and
"Tumhi dekho naa..."
3.You would surely learn what to do and what not to...If u r
on the verge of something like this in ur own life...cos let's
face it,we are all human...and we hav our own feelings
which at times we compromise for our loved ones and then
regret upon it later.

SRK's Review...
KRRISH...A Super HERO???
Well...Here i am...after a long gap of SIX months since my last SRK's Preview on d big movies of 2006,with ur own SRK's review...I had promised u all that i will giv u my verdict on all d "BIGGIE" movies of dis year...and thats wat i am here for...
It is the most awaited movie of dis summer...Its d movie of d Father-Son duo of Roshan's after a Two-year gap...since der runaway HIT of KOI MIL GAYA...but this time the writer,director Rakesh Roshan goes one step further making d sequel of KMG...a story about a MIRACLE BOY emerging as a SUPER HERO...
So,does the movie KRRISH live upto d hype it has created prior to its release...well, honestly...i think YES,to a certain extent...
The story unfolds with a child "KRISHNA",continuing d legacy of his father by attaining d super talents from him and he finds himself interested in having more knowledge than any of his friends...and being d super-intelligent boy...but an old-yet-refusing-to-be-grey REKHA,his DAADHI is alarmed by this and decides to home-school him...the child grows up to a Young lad..who just finds more interest in playing with his super powers as a hobby without any one's knowledge and remains a KID at his grandma's guidance...All goes well until he falls in love...and ends up in trouble...
KRRISH is neither a SUPER hero flick that revolves around d BATTLE between Good & Evil...nor it depends on a Revolutionory Theme music and d changes d HERO can make to d WORLD..but its just about Hrithik...to say d least...
May be this movie is the FIRST of it's kind in INDIAN cinema...and for that it doesnt hav a gripping story or an intresting screenplay for most part of d film...Besides d beautiful scenic location and d great Special effects,the movie moves slowly and predictably in first half appealing more to kids...
But the story gets on d Highway once KRRISH lands up in Singapore...and from ther on..the "so far predictable screenplay" drews u to a new world cinema with all d scenes including d stunts done by Hrithik himself..claiming high precision to d Special effects and the story turns its toll when a suspense is unfolded that takes d viewer's by surprise and the following scenes are just etched to perfection leaving no doubt in d common man...that we r waching a real SUPER hero of our own...
The climax of the movie is the place where d director gets into a tangle and goes hay-wire with d so called super powers..by delivering a series of unbelievable n rediculous sequences..and add to it..comes a melodramatic last 10 minitues wich makes u remember d old masala hindi movies...and this makes u think,afterall KRRISH is only an INDIAN super hero having all emotions...
On a whole KRRISH is worth watching for three main reasons...
1.Hrithik..who just barely takes up d responsibility of running this "rather mediocre" screenplay, lonely in his shoulders...wich he does with utmost perfection proving his talent as an actor and as an unbelievable dancer...
2.The special effects wich plays a pivotal role in avoiding d artificial risks of the story line...
3.The music makes u feel that "u hav heard this sometime back, somewer else"...But the songs hav been shot greatly using all d sceneries of Himalayan mountains..and also d glamour of Magnificient Singapore to the most...
Watch it atleast once to experience d DESI version of SUPER hero and to realise the unbelievable talent of the real hero of the movie HRITHIK...The super hero...
SRK's Verdict: **1/2 {* =Poor,** =Good,***=Great,

Now or Never...
The Telegram
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend....
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Dont bother about what happens next.
Because when you decide that it is the right time
it might be too late.
Seize the day.
Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are
today.

The Window
A great note for all to read. It will take just 2
Minutes to read this and change your thinking.
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same
hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his
bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the
fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's
only window. The other man had to spend all his time
flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of
their wives and families, their homes, their jobs,
their involvement in the military service, where they
had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window
could sit up, he would pass the time by describing
to his roommate all the things he could see outside
the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those
one-hour periods where his world would be broadened
and enlivened by all the activity and color of the
world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.
Ducks and swans played on the water while children
sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in
arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of
the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described all this in
exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the
room would close his eyes and imagine the
picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described
a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't
hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye
as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with
descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse
arrived to bring water for their baths only to find
the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had
died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and
called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man
asked if he could be moved next to the window. The
nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making
sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one
elbow to take his first look at the real world
outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the
window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled
his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful
things outside this window. The nurse responded
that the man was blind and could not even see the
wall.
She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
Epilogue:
There is tremendous happiness in making
others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness
when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things
you have that money can't buy.
"Today is a gift, that's why it is called
the present."
People will forget what you said...
People will forget what you did...
But people will never forget how you made them feel...
