Movies last weekend: Jab We Met and No Smoking

These days theres not much work for me to do. So all I do is catch up on any of the new movies.
Jab We Met: Perfect bollywood drama. One could not ask for more. One of the best hindi movies I’ve seen in the last few months. Shahid as usual is not that great an actor but Kareena I think atlast did something that we can at last call ‘acting’. And the story more than makes up for Shahids acting prowess. Could not write anything more than the thing that it was a great movie. You’ll not get bored one second.

No Smoking: Do not, I repeat DO NOT watch this movie if you value your sanity. I sat through almost 3 hours of this movie and could not get a single clue about what the whole movie about. I spent a night analyzing the movie(since I’ve got nothing better to do these days), racking my brain until I almost drove myself insane. The theatre was almost empty on a sunday night which was its third day of release. I think that more than accentuates the failure of the movie. The director did a very bad job of porting a Stephen King’s novel for bollywood. At the end of the movie I was checking to see If I was the only one disappointed. People shaking their heads and joking about how bad the movie was reassured me.
