Khoobsurat

Watched ‪#‎Khoobsurat‬ tonight and I have 2 words to sum it up.. ‪#‎FawadKhan‬  (yeah yeah, I'm married! But so is he, and he started it!!) That baritone voice (sigh)! Smouldering good looks. Those puppy dog eyes!! And the fact that he can act??! (I know, it's too much)
There's also ‪#‎SonamKapoor‬, and a super talented supporting cast but I assure you you'll barely notice  Lots of laughs and so much drooling/sighing

Daawat - e - ishq

You have to a be a pretty big fan of ‪#‎ParineetiChopra‬‪#‎AdityaRoyKapoor‬ ‪#‎AnupamKher‬ or ‪#‎alllthree‬ to go see this film, cause they're all quite good! Especially considering what they have to work with!! 
Especially Mr Roy Kapoor, who manages to *wow* despite 
  1. the presence of a handle bar moustache, 
  2. the absence of any Lucknow in his accent, 
  3. few forgettable dialogues and 
  4. very little in the name of footage...
the boy has talent (and he's gorgeous...even with the fuzz!)
So here's the thing! You don't need to play down the male lead to make your heroines shine... you really should do the opposite. That's what the good ‪#‎YashRaj‬ films did.

Finding Fanny



Watched it on day 1! That's the good news. 
In Hindi. That's the other 
I'm glad that the Indian film industry _can _ make a film like this though and also that someone did. What is missing can very simply be summed up in the difference between 'cha' and 'cha' as pronounced by a goan, and everyone else... In short, the attention to detail. 
Mr ‪#‎NaseerudinShah‬ rocks more than usual.
