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.

Kick

If you feel the need to post a status update during the film it's either so brilliant or so beyond boring! Guess which one? ‪#‎kick‬
Finally watched ‪#‎kick‬ (but you already knew that) and there's just one thing I've learnt from this film... Whether you believe the reviews or not is not really important, just never believe the promos!*
Also, why aren't the guys being sued by the Indian Academy of Psychiatrists or Poland???!


This should have been a love story between khan and hooda. He looks MUCH better, can act and most importantly he has chemistry! ‪#‎kick‬ ‪#‎kickingmyself‬

Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania

Did not have the time to look at the reviews...hazards of watching a film on opening night!  
And was i glad i went!!!
Is there a story? Of course there is.
Have you heard it before? Of course you have.
Does it matter? Of course NOT. It's a hindi film. (It's the same story every time. Duh.)
‪#‎AliaBhat‬ & ‪#‎VarunDhawan‬ make it worth your while..and that's what the lead cast is supposed to do. And ‪#‎Poplo‬ and ‪#‎Shonty‬ really help

Bobby Jasoos



Watched ‪#‎BobbyJasoos‬ despite the reviews (Yeah, i'm living dangerously).
2 words - Ali Fazal!!  
Okay, that's an over-reaction...and i'm married  Perfectly entertaining film...Vidya is clearly the Hero here...but Mr Fazal has been treated too much like a Heroine! However he is clearly much more than a pretty face (and what a pretty face! Stop.) 
So go watch it...live dangerously...and drool

Humshakals

(The one that started it all)

Note to self: Next time, believe the reviews!! ‪#‎Humshakals‬‪#‎Shouldhavestayedhomeandwatchedthematch‬ 
How can something be so un-funny and yet be offensive to so many people at once...! Women, Men, Men dressed as women, Crazy people, Short People, Sindhi people!!
