A slow love story interspersed with a predictable plot line: Wazir, the antidote I had meant for Bajirao Mastani turned out to be a deadlier toxin to my tolerance.

Crew

As I mentioned in the Laapataa Ladies review, I wanted to see that movie, Crew, and Madgaon Express. I got another evening free and I saw Crew. Why did I choose that over Madgaon Express, no specific reason. Maybe because it had three beautiful women in it? I saw it on a Friday for a whopping ₹450 ticket. It was not worth that much, especially after Laapataa was only 150. To make matters worse, I had to spend another 300 bucks on a cab to go watch it. The movie was strictly average. The acting is good, but you don’t expect anything less from veteran actors like Kareena Kapoor and Tabu. They too did not especially sparkle. I think I went with too many expectations in this department at least. Kriti Sanon – I don’t remember in which movie I last saw her, perhaps this is my first movie of hers. She is really cute and her outfits complemented her looks. Immediate crush. Then I read up about her. She has multiple brands of her own. Waah! Cute and interesting. Then she posted about “Vika

Laapataa Ladies

Okay, a review after like 2 years? Forgive me if this does not appear in the length and text of what you are used to on my blog. Some oiling is necessary, and it is probably an unforced error that Laapataa Ladies should be disserviced by my fingers. I had an evening free (a luxury I know is going to end come August), and so chose to utilize this opportunity to get out and do something in Mumbai. There were three movies I wanted to watch (Laapataa Ladies, Crew, and Madgaon Express). I chose the one I had seen the trailer for, and had laughed. It seemed like an indie film which deserved all the love and encouragement movie-goers can give. Also, the premise was an interesting one. Laapataa Ladies it was. I had also heard positive reviews from more than a couple of friends. I stay in Dadar East and the nearest multiplex is Palladium in Parel. No kaali-peeli would go there. Had to fork out 350 bucks for a cab. The ticket itself was just 150. Anyway, for all its luxury the PVR Icon seats w

Madgaon Express

I managed to watch the third movie I was supposed to of the recent past, other than Crew and Laapataa Ladies: Madgaon Express. I was recommended it by I don’t remember who. I think I had seen its trailer at some point in my life. In any case, I am proud to have been a patron of such small films, even if it was not ground or mould-breaking in any sense. If I was to describe it in short , I would just say it is full timepass . Something you expect to give you a few shitz and giggles and is a light-hearted fun watch. It ticks all those boxes of a passable and objective-satisfying comedy to go watch, even if the humour is not deep; but is neither cheap nor shallow. It hits the right spot – something like The Big Bang Theory or How I Met Your Mother, without their risk of getting repetitive. I was told it is a Go Goa Gone lite. But an eighth into the movie, I thought it was a Hangover lite. It turned out to be neither, which was more than a pleasant surprise. I
