Saw no less than 4 movies today – not all of all of them, if you know what I mean, but yeah, saw four alright.
Started off the day with Biwi Aur Makaan, a movie about 5 roomies looking up for a new makaan (house) in Bombay (that’s what it was called back then you politically correct jerks), who end up finding biwis (wives) as well. Surprisingly funny until you find out it’s a Hrishikesh Mukherjee, and it isn’t such a big surprise any more.
It stars Mehmood, amongst others, but if you are looking for any slapstick stuff, you’ll be in for a disappointment – if you haven’t guessed that already considering the director. Not exactly what one would term as a “must see” ala Chupke Chupke or Golmaal, but you won’t get bored watching it either.
Moved on to Andaz Apna Apna & Dumb and Dumber later in the day – hadn’t watched the latter till today (turns out hadn’t really missed much). I don’t think either movie needs any introductions, so I’ll leave it at that. All three movies were on the telly, if anyone’s wondering.
Last, but definitely not the least (that would be DnD, above), watched Khosla Ka Ghosla at the nearby theatre. I had made plans to go Wednesday night, but “inertia” got the better of me (what else is new) and decided to order-in instead. Anyways, glad I went today because, between glimpses of Delhi, the Punjabi accent-shackcent, decent story-line, some excellent performances and that weird(ly nice?)-sounding, beautiful woman, I really liked the movie. I could also relate to the father-son relationship portrayal – watch the movie and you’ll know what I mean. Or maybe not.
Amongst other news, coming up soon is a long overdue redesign of the site. Watch this space.
