Jab We Met (2007)
Jab We Met is the BEST!
Jab We Met is definitely one of the best movies I've seen so far. Everything is very nice about this movie, totally perfect.
My Reviews: Kareena Kapoor - She really impressed me with this movie. I love how the way she portrayed the lovable & talkative Geet to the sensitive & sad Geet on the second half. She is the life of the movie, no doubt.
Shahid Kapoor - We all know that Shahid is a good actor, but in this movie, we saw something different. We are used to see Shahid in chocolate, college stories, but Jab We Met proved that he can do serious roles without any problems.
Music: Mauja Hi Mauja would definitely my favorite. They saved the best for the last. Mauja Hi Mauja is the best song for the film. But for some reason, it reminded me of "Macarena" (a popular Spanglish song) and "Simarik" (a famous Turkish song).
Story: It's really a very predictable story, but I can say it's refreshing. Why? Most Bollywood movies have heroines that are very "damsel-in-distress" and have no relevance in the story. Jab We Met, on the other hand, has a female for a lead. You can see a woman's pain when she's heartbroken, which I can say is very realistic and I can totally relate to it.
Overall, 9/10 is my rating. Good movie, good actors, good story, good music. Very good. :)
Bluffmaster! (2005)
One of Abhishek's best performances
Bluffmaster is one unique masterpiece. When you think about it, it's a masala film. When you analyze it, it's not a typical masala film. It's nice blend of action, suspense, comedy and drama.
Abhishek Bachchan is the star of the movie. Most of his roles are usually the supporting one and he is usually overshadowed by the Roshans, Khans & Big B. It is very nice to see him as the hero of the movie. He played "Roy" with utmost sincerity & tons of attitude. He suits the role very well, from the looks & everything else in between.
Priyanka Chopra's character blended very well in the story. Most heroines in Bollywood are just a "decoration" to the movies, but Simmi's character begs to differ. Her character is not a Barbie doll, rather, her role is very logical & refreshing compared to others. Nice performance, indeed.
Ritesh Desmukh has a nice timing for comedy. He knows when to make the joke. And he's also good at the dramatic scenes in the movie.
Boman Irani plays his character very well. 50% serious & 50% funny best describes his character here. It is challenging to portray and I can say that played the role very well.
Nana Patekar is the show-stealer. Good transition from the bad & dangerous gang leader to the tree-staying guy. He's very convincing as a villain and I can say he's really cool.
Costumes - Love it. Very urban and modern.
Dialogue - This movie has the wittiest lines in the history of Bollywood.
Songs - The songs fit the movie well, which is very urban (and I'm a big urban music fan).
All in all, 9/10
Krrish (2006)
Hrithik saved the movie.
Krrish is the first Bollywood movie I've ever seen in my life. After seeing this movie, I was amazed, but somehow I felt it was lackluster.
Why lackluster? Read on.
1. Priyanka Chopra has no relevance in the story. Though she was the reason why Krishna became Krrish, Priyanka's acting is kinda useless. Her acting just made things worse.
2. The villain is so weak. I thought this movie would be cool because Krrish is now a hero, but the villain is a weakling!
3. The songs are annoying. Namely the "Dil Na Diya", it annoys me a lot.
Good thing the film was saved by Hrithik Roshan. I personally think that Hrithik Roshan is one of the few actors in the universe that can make garbage look awesome.
Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003)
This movie proves that Bollywood is a way more better than Hollywood!
This is the only movie in the world that made me cry so much. This isn't your conventional love story, and yet it will leave a mark.
Though there are subplots in the movie, it's not as complicated. It blended very well in the main story. The setting of the place also blended very well in the story.
Kal Ho Naa Ho is a good combination of drama & comedy, unlike the so-called "dramedy" movies which aren't funny or what at all.
Shah Rukh Khan's acting was superb. Wait, he didn't act at all, he let Aman (his character) enter his body and he became Aman. Preity Zinta did an excellent job. Karan Johar made a good choice of choosing her. To be honest, if Kareena Kapoor would be Naina, it would not make an impact at all. Saif Ali Khan blew my mind off! He's amazing! I was impressed, I can totally relate to his character. Overall, the main actors were 11 out of 10.
Overall, Kal Ho Naa Ho is the best movie I've ever seen in my entire life. A perfect film for everyone. Anyone can relate to this story, even the stone hearted will cry to the highest level when they see this. This movie made me proud that I'm an Asian & that Bollywood is better than Hollywood.
