Which is why a female DCH probably is an unlikely thing to happen.<BR/><BR/>Filmi Girl - Totally agreed! Some clichés were there (corporate interference = badbadbad!) but they ended up being pretty believable, like the sort of thing that actually does happen to bands and could happen to bands in India.<BR/><BR/>ajnabi - I try to keep it sane, or sane-sounding if nothing else. <BR/><BR/>Shweta - Thank you. I didn't promote the fact but glad to see somebody spotted it.<BR/><BR/>Babasko - Great to see you around! I've yet to see this more than once but it's something my filmi-tolerating/liking friends might enjoy so I'll be showing it to them later.veracioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437521137603205617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-72443146711166940452008-12-22T07:31:00.000+02:002008-12-22T07:31:00.000+02:00Oh i love that you loved Rock On!! as did I.

It was the first movie I saw in an Indian cinema, so after first viewing I didnt know whether I loved it just because I love sitting in Chennai in reclining leather chair getting my internet ordered snacks brought to my seat and generally loving every minute I spent there, or if it really was the film. <BR/>So I watched it thrice. And bought the DVD. And still love it. And envy Mrs. Akhtar for being able to walk into the bathroom when F. is taking a shower whenever she feels like it.babaskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409089227879159676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-29031009857751743762008-12-20T23:32:00.000+02:002008-12-20T23:32:00.000+02:00It's not in my right to speculate how your marriag...<I>It's not in my right to speculate how your marriage came into being nor does it feel right to try and hunt down that piece of information via Google or otherwise.</I><BR/><BR/>Whaaaaaa?

You rarely get to see friendship between women explored in movies, so I appreciated that! <BR/><BR/>Agreed on:<BR/>-Farhan being great.<BR/>-Arjun Rampal really hitting his stride lately. <BR/>-Purab Kohli!!Andromachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005721807122133105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-76233672180952729372008-12-15T01:08:00.000+02:002008-12-15T01:08:00.000+02:00Darshit, indeed, she too gave a great performance....Darshit, indeed, she too gave a great performance. It'd be difficult to find a lacking performance in the movie, in general. <BR/><BR/>memsaab - Hope you get to see it soon!<BR/><BR/>Anita - I have the same dilemma. On one hand I want more solidly directed films like his. On the other .. I just want to oggle at him on-screen. :P<BR/><BR/>Exactly, no movie has made me go crazy with love for it or anything. Not that many films in 2007 did, either, but there were some very clear favourites. This year even the good ones I've been less than enthusiastic about. Jodha-Akbar was good but so long and exhaustingly epic, Dostana was funny but lacked in the 2nd half, Jaane Tu at the end of the day I was not a fan of.. It's really odd!veracioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437521137603205617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-30678543178878766982008-12-14T21:29:00.000+02:002008-12-14T21:29:00.000+02:00Loved Rock On and was thoroughly impressed with Fa...Loved Rock On and was thoroughly impressed with Farhan. Though, now I'm not sure if I want to see more of him as a director or more as an actor, because I love both, and I can only really have one at a time! :P<BR/><BR/>Speaking of movies in 2008, I feel like there were a LOT of decent movies, but nothing mind-blowing. The best so far was probably Jodhaa-Akbar or Dostana or something like that, but I haven't felt completely enthralled by any of the movies. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, though, because there ARE a LOT of movies and they're all based on extremely varied topics...anitaramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785044882853838619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668731454857654821.post-80967401902455828282008-12-14T20:45:00.000+02:002008-12-14T20:45:00.000+02:00I think Arjun is sadly overlooked (how?
