More quick ones.
LUCK BY CHANCE
I liked this one, but not as much as other people have. It’s a good story, but it moves a bit too slow for me. Found myself getting bored halfway through, wishing things would hurry up a bit. Farhan and Koko were great, they make a cute couple. Loved the ending as well, perfect ending for it, and not a cop-out. Hope to see more of Zoya’s movies in the future.

Haven’t really felt like writing full reviews lately, so here are quick reviews of the last three films I’ve seen.
BILLU BARBER
This was a nice movie, but it could have been a lot better. I’m sure many figured it was an SRK movie, because all the promotion seemed to point to it. I loved the soundtrack, but at least two of SRK’s songs needed to be cut to make for a better film. Love Mera Hit Hit should …

Aditya Chopra’s first film, DDLJ, as we know, was a major blockbuster, and is still running in theaters to this day. Five years later, his second film, Mohabbatein, though not on the same level as DDLJ, was a big hit. And now, 8 long years later, we get Adi’s third film, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Can it live up to the earlier two movies, especially DDLJ? A film …
So, my top 10 lists are back. Not much to top 10 about during the middle of the year, so I guess these will mainly show up at years end. And look, it’s already almost December. Time flies.
Lets start out with some honorable mentions. Songs I liked, but not enough to make my list. And, I will admit, I wanted to put more Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi songs on the top 10 list, but …

This movie was always going to be a big deal. The topic of homosexuality is a touchy subject anywhere, not just India. And there really hasn’t been a movie of the sort in Bollywood. They didn’t go all the way, and have a big name star actually play a gay character, but this is close enough for the moment.
Sam and Kunal (Abhi/John) pretend they are a gay couple, in order to rent a …
So, here we go. One of the most anticipated movies of the year, if not the most. Adi-SRK back together again, etc etc. There’s been lots of talk about SRK being paired with such a young co-star, Anushka Sharma. Salim-Suleman were selected to do the music, and that also raised eyebrows. Would they be able to get the job done? Were t hey the right choice? Should composers like AR Rehman, SEL, or …
So, how’s Ranbir’s second attempt? And in that case, how’s Deepika’s? Well, let’s just say, you find out quite a bit about Ranbir’s potential. Deepika? Not so much.
As I’m sure everyone knows by now, BAH involves three ladies, meaning three different stories. We will start with story one, Ranbir Kapoor/Minissha Lamba. We’re subjected to lots and lots of DDLJ references during their journey, which got a bit annoying after a while. But we’re …

I loved Sarkar. I thought it was very well made, all the actors did an incredible job. It’s one of my favorite movies. So I was excited to hear that RGV was making another one. I’m not a big fan of RGV’s movies, but since I loved Sarkar so much, I figured this one had to be along those lines.
And it was, kind of. The same premise, kind of the same storyline. But …
So yea, I said the next review would be Mere Baap Pehle Aap. It sucked anyway, so I’ll just skip it. No need to waste my time on it, especially when there’s good movies to be seen and reviewed, like this one.
Rock On!! stars Farhan Akhtar in his first acting role, Prachi Desai of ‘Kasam Se’ in her first Bollywood role, Arjun Rampal, Luke Kenny, and Purab Kohli. Music by SEL, lyrics by Javed Akhtar. It’s …
So many people had been praising this movie, giving ratings of 9/10. So I had to see it. I knew nothing about it, only that it was only 90 minutes long. Sounded good to me, so I watched it.
It stars a newcomer, Rajeev something. Apparently he’s a TV guy. It’s also the director’s debut. Don’t remember his name at the moment, too lazy to look it up. It starts out with a bunch …
