A Fried Delight




Something is seriously wrong with the icons of our generation. The Prime Minister....an educated politician for a change is out making weird decisions. Most of them are full of good intentions but all of them suffer from lack of foresight. None of them have really been thought through. Sachin Tendulkar has lost it, and this time it looks like its for good. I mean, he still displays flashes of brilliance, but so could many retired cricketers if called back. And the there is Khalid Mohamed. Overtly sensitive, always portraying women in good life (yeesh!!! that is like so yesterday), hes suddenly just lost it when it comes to movie reviews.
The latest victim of his being Bheja Fry. A debut effort, it is a cute offbeat situational comedy along the lines of Mixed Doubles and Khosla ka Ghosla. Small budget, great cast, innovative storyline, cool and realistic sets and top notch performances make this delightful little comedy a must watch. The only letdown being that the best actor of the lot, Ranvir Shorey was given a caricature of a role.
My DVD pick for those who like different but good movies is as follows. Now, you may or may not have heard these names but among the big budget preplanned staple fare, these movies somehow lost their way.
The Prestige
The Illusionist
A Scanner Darkly
Little Miss Sunshine
Memento
Happy Feet
