According to Rani..."never say Alvida (goodbye), coz it destroys the hope of mtg yet agn...who knows we might meet agn?" 
Yeah yeah yeah...I watched Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna last week (Sun 13 Aug), but I wasn't in the mood to blog abt it. It's an adult movie (shld've rated it NC-16 or something!). It's abt married couples screwing arnd wif other ppl's spouse.
Rani's compelled by foster Dad Amitabh (Abhishek's flamboyant-skirt-chaser-dude of a Dad) to marry his son; the guy she grew up wif who's always loved her since young. He's a nice guy & all, but she has no passion for him. Plus they're childless.
On the other side of town, Shahrukh has a successful wife, Preity, who runs the household bcoz Shahrukh is unable to 'wear the pants'. Once a soccer player (Bekham wannabe!), all hope's dashed when he was hit by car & breaks his leg & limps for the rest of the movie. Unable to bear his failures, he becomes the forever angry & cynical man (hmm, he behaves like me in this movie...always angry & cynical at every li'l things).
Rewind back to when Rani was gonna marry Abhishek & before Shahrukh's accident...Shahrukh 1st met Rani @ her wedding where she was sulking @ the garden, contemplating to run away from the marriage. Shahrukh saw her...chatted wif her...gave her some advise...and then left. She proceeded wif the marriage, he got hit by a car & life goes on for both couples...till they met agn by chance...and the whole movie is abt how romance bloomed between Rani & Shahrukh...leaving their respective spouses in the dark.
Wah lao!!! Karan Johar is too much...when his Dad (the late Yash Johar) is still alive...he makes sweet love stories (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai), stories abt loving your parents (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham) & stories abt living life to the fullest, who knows there might not be a tomorrow (Kal Ho Naa Ho)...The moment his Dad is gone...he makes a thrashy movie abt extra marital affair!!
Okay la okay la...the movie's not thaaat bad...in fact I think it's btr than K3G (only coz I nvr liked K3G!)...but it certainly can't beat my innocent cute Hum Tum! The only drawback is I don't like the subject...infidelity in relationship/marriage is something I detest!! The icing on the cake is the climax. If u think I'm gonna be telling the story here...keep thinking!! I paid $11 for the movie oii!! Go watch it & contribute to Karan Johar's bank acct...He went overbudget by over $1m for this movie ok!! So yeah, pls help him.
Abhishek's brilliant in the movie. Actually everyone's brilliant, except I still don't like Preity. I can't go on & describe Amitabh in the movie...although I was repulsed by his character, I must say that his versatility in carrying off wif ease any role given to him is beyond my vocab!! 
Ahsaas Channa (this is his 3rd movie), who plays Shahrukh's son, is sooo adorable...I feel like kidnapping him!!! Songs, by the same team of Kal Ho Naa Ho, is alright, nothing adverse. Overall it was worth my $11 in comparison to Fanaa. Poor Karan. He made a brilliant movie that had the potential of being a box-office success...but from the looks of it, 9 out of 10 who's seen the movie came out of the theatre cursing the movie, wif only 1 raving abt it. The only saving grace for Karan is bcoz expectations of his movies are always high, he'll benefit for the 1st three weeks at least, coz the whole world will rush to watch Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (only to get disappointed & not go for a 2nd time)! Not too worry, this movie's gonna be yet another blockbuster of the decade...coz there's Amitabh; every movie-maker's lucky mascot!!

I don't think Amitabh's a lucky mascot... I mean, check out movies like Armaan, Deewar... these bombed at the box office...so, Amitabh's no guarantee. I think people will still go watch it now, cos everyone's gonna wonder what's so bad about it. Bad publicity is still publicity. And curious minds will go forth to watch it.

I'm not sure if Deewar bombed, I thought it was a Hit...but I LURVE THAT MOVIE!! They're showing it on Zee TV this Sat I think. Mom & I can watch it agn & agn, despite we already know the suspense. Got a pt there, Armaan bombed, but think it's poor script/screenplay also la, not so much of Amitabh (my poor fil...hehe). Well, 1 out of 10...still lucky la. Shucks Rostina...have I given free publicity for Karan!? Tks for pointing out...gosh I muz demand some royalty fees from him...hehehe...
On a separate note: Did u go for the Kunal Ganjawala & KK's concert couple of mths back?!? I was broke on both ocassion, so I didn't go, but I thought of u though! :-)
DATE: 08/25/2006 12:49:34 AM
Haha... Likewise I was broke (I'm still broke too, btw). And my trustee DVD player is down. Fanaa and Krishsh is still waiting to be watched, and my Golmal DVD is waiting to be collected. BUT NO PLAYER!!! haha...
Let me know when u're going for the concerts... could go in big group...pretty fun!
DATE: 08/25/2006 10:47:04 AM
Ros - r u staying in the East side of S'pore!?!? Not nice to keep anyone/anything waiting...so do feel free to lend me Krissh...hehe...since my DVD player is doing fine (well, my normal DVD recorder decided to faint, but it's ok, my portable DVD player still alive! hmmmpph!). If u enjoyed Tom Dick & Harry, I tell u u'll love Golmaal even btr!! Any comedy wif Arshad Warsi & Sharman Joshi is a MUST-WATCH & SURE-ENJOY!!!
Cool!! Let's see when the Saregamapa concert will be held in Sep. If budget permits, we shall plan something. I always join Zee TV's contest, but for these kinda things, I won't win!! Know my luck too well! Jinxed.
