My thoughts on some upcoming movies

Since I have no new movie reviews (I really have no desire to see TZP. I don’t know why.), here’s what I think about a few upcoming releases.

First up.

JODHA AKBAR

Ashutosh Gowarikar’s new magnum opus. And I hate to say it, but it looks like a magnum bore. The songs haven’t caught on, with me at least, and everything about it just seems so blah. Hrithik really fits the emperor role, but I’m not too sure about Ash. I don’t even know if I’ll watch this one on DVD. Hopefully it’s good, because I’m sure tons of money has gone into it.

There are also so many controversies surrounding it, about how historically accurate it is. That can bring a movie down. I know Asoka had the same problem, lots of people protested the accuracy of it, even though there was a nice little disclaimer at the beginning.

Oh well, only time will tell.

Next .

TASHAN

Seriously, how can you not be excited about Tashan? It’s the long awaited Sakshay reunion, and it promises to have rocking music by Vishal Shekhar. YRF knows they need to get into shape after their disastrous 2007, and Kareena’s coming off a high in Jab We Met. As for Anil, well, he’s everywhere now. So not much to say about him.

I’d like to see how Kareena and Saif look together on screen. This was the movie set where they hooked up, right? While poor Shahid was in Canada. But we aren’t getting into that.

I really hope this movie delivers. Lots of people are looking forward to it.

And, last but not least…

RAB NE BANA DI JODI

Such an old school title. But hey, it’s the reunion of SRK and Adi. After the magical DDLJ, and after the complete bore Mohabbatein. So, which one will we get? Is this the Adi of the 90s or the Adi of the 2000s? Also, we get another girl debuting opposite SRK. Really, why couldn’t Adi use one of the many competent actresses we have in the industry who haven’t been paired with SRK yet? His story better be something grand, because I don’t want to see SRK romancing a girl half his age.
