What happened to bollywood? I don't understand. First quarter of 2009 gave nothing. Akshay also started giving all nonsense movies, just like Singh is King. If you start thinking anything starting with 'Why', you will end up by breaking your head into nuts.
Dev D - I was expecting it will be a good entertainer as personally I like Abhay Deol as he is specialist in playing off-bit roles. But this was not upto the standard of his previous movies.
Billu - SRK gave only 2 good movies in whole of his life. Swadesh & Chak de India, otherwise same shah rukh; running in the yellow-red colored fields by wearing black jackets, and that too with typical chopra/johar music...yukkkk..
Luck by Chance - okay. (good in comparison with other movies)
And then there was a big pause in movie release as profit sharing issue fired. All multiplex started demanding 50% share from overall profit earned by producers. Literally they stopped releasing movies. All big heads got together; that too including SRK and Aamir. (Akhir me hari patti ka sawal hai). Somehow they have negotiated with some figure. 1st week 50%, 2nd week 42.5%, 3rd week 35% and 4th week onwards, 30% flat.
The moment I heard this news, I was happy that now all stacked movies will overflow. But it was just like burp after heavy food. Aa dekhen jhara, NewYork, all failed. I was expecting too much from Love Aajkal as Imtiaz Ali had 2 nice baby birth - 'Socha na tha' & 'Jab we met'. Though Love Aajkal was not disappointing, but it was not upto the standard of his previous movies. A typical Saif, stolen kaam-chalu music of Pritam and too much of flip-flop between stories in London/Delhi/Punjab; these 3 factors had weaken the strength of the movie.
But the main reason which clicked me to write this blog was 'Kaminey'. A Vishal Bharadwaj highly created hyped movie and 3-4 star avg rating by all critics. Man, it was so pathetic. The whole movie was in darkness. Too many scenes have been directed with full close-up and that too shacking camera. 'Jo dimag me aaya wo daal diya movie me'. We returned to home with full headache and bunch of gaalis on tip of tongue.
Oh yeah, forgot to tell one thing. I also watched trailers for upcoming movies and decided that better spend money in buying some stuff. !!!

I quite agree with you. But the big question is - Why is everyone rating Kaminey 4 or more stars?!!! Whats wrong with ppl? Have they forgotten good cinema?
Same happened with us! We went with high expectations for Kaminey movie and came out dejected!!
We have now decided to watch movie of our taste and not go by reviews!! Darshit is recently busy with creating his collection of some real good old movies like Choti Si baat, Jaane bhi Do Yaaron, Chup ke Chup Ke and others.
I have even posed a question on facebook asking for some good english movies. Plz add ur suggestion too :)
An award awaits for u.. Chk out my blog post http://vineetazdiary.blogspot.com/2009/09/thanks-to-all-my-bbs.html
Well, I want so say few things.
Inspite of the fact that we should never expect from a MOVIE, we do.
I myself am a big fan of SRK and Billu was really pathetic but then if you watch the movie, actually the concept was not to show SRK but Irfan. Its actually a movie where SRK is in a guest appearance.
Swades and Chak De, definitely are 2 legendry movies which prove that SRK can handle any role with perfection very sensibly even if it is not a romantic one. But how could you forget DDLJ, Baazigar, Kal Ho Na Ho and many more where SRK played different kind of roles and they were blockbusters of their time.
For Kaminey, I would say that the script and story were a bit idiotic but we should always remember movies according to the performance, which in Kaminey; Shahid proved and came out of the image of a Chocolaty Actor and became a versatile one.
So according to me, movies should be remembered based on the performance and the character eg you do for DJ in RDB, Maddy in RHTDM etc.
