Yes Boss

 


This was an ok early Shahrukh Khan comedy. He went on to do much better. His job is to deal with the lovers of his slimy boss and that's ok until he falls in love with one of them.  I like what her Shahrukh Khan's mother had to say to the girl at the end of the movie. It wasn't particularly memorable, but it was watchable.

Andaaz

 

I got this movie because I like Priyanka Chopra and this was her debut. She looks different. Priyanka got prettier as she aged. This was just all right. It's the usual best friend doesn't tell his best friend he loves her story. When he comes back from joining the air force he finds out she got married. He moves on and finds someone else until circumstance brings the two back together again. It was all right but I've seen it done.

Dhoom

 

My brother recommended it to me saying it was the Indian version of "Fast and the Furious" except this one had motorcycles. I thought it was boring and didn't really care for it.

Naseeb

 

This Indian movie was all over the place. I got it because of Amitabh Bachchan who was one of the biggest names in Indian cinema in the 70's and 80's and has starred in other great movies later on like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. He's a really talented actor. It starts out as a crime story about a lottery ticket and then it becomes about the hotel that the winners bought with their winnings. Eventually it comes back to the original story but there were a lot of detours in the movie. It needed more focus.

This Indian movie had potential. That's why I got annoyed with it. The main character has a stuttering problem but finds a good guy who overlooks it. She also has singing ambitions. But no, the movie decided to focus on a boring crime subplot. It lost its heart and became like every other crime movie you've seen.

What's your Raashee?

 

The main complaint about this movie was its four-hour length. I split the movie in two days, so I didn't feel rushed. Maybe that's the way to go. This was just watchable. Priyanka Chopra proves that she is more than a pretty face by playing twelve characters representing zodiac signs. The bachelor must choose one of these girls for his bride. All of the women are supposed to look like the same girl, and this is where the movie fails. It felt gimmicky. It would have been more refreshing to have different actresses for each one and that's with Chopra doing a good job.

Salman Khan is a fun actor but even he can't save this mediocre boring movie. It's about three siblings coming together after their father dies. But even they find out that a family bond is more important than wealth. As boring as this was I have to admit I was on the edge of my seat during the finale concerning the concert. You can pass.
