Topaz

 

This spy thriller by Hitchcock is one of his worst movies. I didn't really get involved or care about the characters. I can't recommend it. 

Pyaar Impossible

 


This was a cute comedy. It's about a nerd who saves a beautiful girl played by Priyanka Chopra (now Mrs. Nick Jonas). Years later he becomes her nanny in order to get to know her. However, she is dating the villain of the movie a man who stole his software. Only the man convinces Priyanka that the nanny is the one who stole the software. But by the ending she's figured out the truth and they're in each other's arms. This movie didn't change my life, but it was fun.

Break ke baad

 

The only good thing about this movie were the jokes I read online making fun of the title's resemblance to the show Breaking Bad. The title translates to The Bad Break. It's just a coincidence.  There is way too much drinking in this movie. A person online mentioned this, and I agree. I felt like it was a commercial or something. The woman in the movie wants to find her own path and puts her boyfriend to the side only to be drawn back to him. You can skip this one. 

Yaranna



This is one of the worst Indian movies I have ever watched. The only good thing about this movie is the beauty Madhuri Dixit other than that it is a mess. It's inspired by Sleeping with the Enemy, but it can't decide if it wants to be a thriller, a musical, or a comedy. It doesn't have the right balance to juggle all of its genres.  Avoid.

Ajab Prem ki Ghazab Kahani

 

This was an ok Indian movie nothing extraordinary. However, the last thirty minutes are pretty bad. It's about a carefree guy who falls in love and has to convince the girl that the man she is about to marry isn't the one. 

Saajan

 

This was a good Bollywood movie. I've been watching movies with Madhuri Dixit lately. She was quite a beauty in the 1990s. This is a movie about the friendship between a cripple and a playboy (Salman Khan). The playboy's family took the cripple into their household when he was a kid. He feels he is obligated to his friend even agreeing to let Khan take the woman he loves. Dixit comes to realize the deception since the cripple is the poet that Khan claims himself to be. I like the speech that she gives them at the end, and it serves them right. Anyway, it was pretty good.
