![]() ![]() ![]() This is one of the albums that put Vishal and Shekhar on the map. But I don’t care, it’s entertaining! And the music is really good! I mean, like, REALLY good. And the women are all super sexy, and the men are super violent. So, yeah, it’s another ridiculous “anti-terrorist unit” kind of film with a big bad Afghani terrorist villain. Whereas this movie is just kind of the class clown trying to entertain us, not the teacher trying to teach us something. Not a lot of issues, but it felt like there was a little bit of propaganda going on under the surface, and there were all these kind of stylistic triggers to it that told us we should believe what it was telling us. If you compare it with, say, Baby, I had issues with Baby. ![]() The thing is, like Bang Bang (another perfect film), this movie just has no pretensions to be anything else than it was. If it makes you go “wait, why are these naked woman hanging off stripper poles? Why is Abhishek Bachchan pretending to rap? Why do we keep seeing slow motion shots of Shilpa Shetty’s tramp stamp? Why do we keep seeing slow motion shots at all?”- well, then you may have a mind too intellectual and analytical for this film.įor me, personally, this song makes me go “oh yeah, I HAVE to watch this movie!!!!” In fact, that’s what happened this morning, I was just going to watch the opening, and then the song came up, and I realized I had no choice but to watch the entire thing. If this song makes you go “Oh yeah, I want to see this movie!”, then you will love it. However, if you like, I don’t know, plot? Songs with melodies instead of just crazy beats? Acting? Dialogue? Any sense of the reality of how physics, cars, bombs, guns, or police investigations work? Well, then this may not be the film for you. If you like young Abhishek with an unshaven look at the top 4 buttons of his collar shirt undone Suniel Shetty wildly slapping people because of his unhappiness over his wife leaving him Sanjay Dutt being responsible and also shooting people Shilpa Shetty wearing tiny skintight tank tops and cargo pants and a gun holster Raima Sen doing one of her rare mainstream Hindi performances Vishal and Shekhar inventing Bhangra/Hip-hop Zayed Khan and Dia Mirza showing off their surprisingly real chemistry Esha Deol in that brief moment when she was famous and, of course, Pankur Kapur doing an entertainingly over the top character part with dyed hair-Then THIS IS THE FILM FOR YOU!!!!! And I am so glad I was reminded! It really is the perfect movie. I was looking for movie-to-have-on-in-the-background-while-unpacking, and Netflix reminded me that it has Dus now (for full list of all Indian movies on Netflix, check out here for my opinion and recommendations of Indian movies on Netflix look at my post here). ![]()
