Friday Releases – 10^th Feb’12

Continuing with my series where I express my opinion / expectation on the Friday releases as a movie goer.

Let’s take a quick look at last week’s release – Gali Gali Chor hain.

I was bang on with my prediction.

No I didn’t watch the movie, trailer didn’t excite me.

As per general word of mouth & various reviews movie was neither a satire nor a mad cap comedy but a mish mash. As I’d predicted that Akshay Khanna is a competent actor and here too he got the brownie points; but he’s not in a category of Khans, Kumars, Kapoors or Roshans to get the movie an opening on his own, so couldn’t do much for the movie. Movie adds up to the list of bombs of 2012.

The “Channo” item number was another reason for not going for the movie (doesn’t mean that I go for a movie for its item number ;-)) it looked cringing. One just can’t add an item number with any lady available to shed clothes….an item number needs a certain level of sensuality and class. Nothing against Veena Malik but this one was in your face and too forceful, with all the blatant expressions of her.

Now, coming to the current week’s release – Ek main or Ekk tu.

Trailers look lively and colorful, though on the face of it there appears a similarity to “What happened in Vegas”.

Overall it appears like a perfect date flick for the Valentine season….a feel good rom-com, a genre Imran Khan rarely fails at.

Yes, I’m going to watch this one.

Trailers of the week:

Housefull 2 – Recently saw the trailer of Housefull-2, it looks crazy. 4 Father, 4 daughter, 4 prospective grooms…catch…..all prospective grooms are named Jolly…everybody in one single house.

One of the dialogues of Ritesh Deshmukh in the trailer is modeled on the lines of a dialogue spoken by him in the original.

Though, I didn’t like first part of the series this one looks bigger and a crazy mad-cap. Movie looks promising and better than the first one. Let’s wait for the future trailers to come out.

Paan Singh Tomar – Appears like a hard hitting performance oriented Irrfan Khan film…..should be an interesting movie considering the track record of Tigmanhu Dhulia.

Reminds of Bandit Queen probably because of the setting of the movie in Chambal.
