Khosla Ka Ghosla

Rating: 8/10

“A very cute movie”…as a friend of mine quoted. And I totally agree with that. A story about a middle class Khosla (Anupan Kher and co.) family who put their entire life’s saving to buy a plot of land to build a bigger house, but few days later they find their land has been encroached by a certain Mr. Khurana (Boman Irani). The Khosla family then tries all possible ‘P’s plead, police, Pehelwans and political organization but all leads to nothing. In a desperate last ditch attempt they try something new….and that I am not going to spoil it for you….The movie is light hearted and while you feel the pressure on the family there is also a smile and laughter on your face…kudos to the director and the cast for this. The story is very orginal, Boman Irani is at his best, Anupam Kher and his two sons are brilliant. This guy Ranvir Shorey who plays the younger of the two sons has a great comic timing; he also featured as Nanoo in Pyar Ke Side Effects. Tara Sharma as Megna, elder son’s love interest, looks very effortless and surely much above my expectation, after Masti I thought that would be her last movie. See this for the story, for a good laugh and Boman Irani.

Verdict: Must See.

Pyar Ke Side Effects

Rating: 7/10

Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat would sound an odd couple and for that very reason an interesting one too. The comic timing of Rahul and Mallika is great and this makes this a brilliant comedy movie to watch. Mallika is a runaway bride from Delhi and Rahul is a small time DJ from Mumbai. Girl bumps into boy a couple of times and this leads to love. Boy is not sure whether he is ready for marriage and this leads to problems. The movie keeps you interested through out and tickles your funny bone all the way through. The pub scene where they discuss the difference between Bombay and Delhi is hilarious, so is the scene where Rahul’s friend is giving advice why super heros aren’t married yet!
Verdict: Don’t miss.

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (KANK)

Rating: 4/10

With a star cast like SRK, AB, AB Jr., Rani, and Preity it’s a bit hard to avoid this film. However in the end it just turns out to be a glorified extra marital affair story which is a bit hard to digest. Rani is married to AB Jr. and SRK and Preity are the other couple. Things are not very smooth in their marriage but not bad enough for the story to progress in the direction it goes. Looks like Karan is fast running out of fresh ideas and it all seems a desperate attempt to churn out some kind of movie with the current bankable stars. However there is some amount of chemistry between SRK and Rani, and in the end you do feel a bit for Rani. The New York back drop tries to land some kind of authenticity to the story but doesn’t go a long way. However there are a couple of hilarious scenes when Rani learns a few tricks from Shahrukh and tries to seduce Abhishek…..this one you got to see!!
Verdict: Avoid if you can..

Ladies Tailor

Rating: 0/10

Rajpal Yadav stars as the lazy ladies tailor, whose life is too mundane and nothing to look up to until a clairvoyant tells him he needs to marry a Padmini girl, who should have a mole in her right thigh!! Well apparently according to the film there are 5 categories of girl in the world, Juhi, Madhuri and Aiswarya fall under Padmini category, and Mallika Sherawat and Biphasa Basu as another type and so on…sorry forgot the types and can’t be asked to sit through the movie again to get it And so begins the search for such a girl, what could have been a funny movie has turned out to be an utter hopeless one.
Verdict: Avoid.
