No. 1 .. but counting backwards

It amazes me to see tht so many directors are obsessed or superstitious when it comes to the names of their movies. Rakesh Roshan n Karan Johar suffer frm the K-syndrome. On similar lines, David Dhawan has suffix No. 1 to almost all his movies. No matter whtevr result the movie gets at the box-office, these ppl don't leave their old habits. But dont they understand tht simply by naming ur movie alongwith No. 1 at the end doesn't create a blockbuster. It needs a good script n a decent crowd of actors, who can act.




Was witness to a horrible movie this Saturday by David Dhawan which goes by the name Shaadi No.1. Shaadi in Hindi means wedding. The movie begs, borrows n steals heavily from some forgettable flicks Masti n No Entry. The story (if i am permitted to use this word for this movie) is simple. Three guys, who have become disinterested in their wives due to their continuous refusal to go to bed, start looking outside for some enjoyment. They soon find 3 gals with the help of their boss (the 3 gals r the boss's daughters'). Then the usual sing-n-dance routines in the beautiful locales of France. Ultimately, with the help of a long-lost brother the couples r reunited n then the audience has to suffer the be faithful.. love ur wife... blah blah blah. The actors who should be arrested for being a part of this disaster are


Cocaine Khan ... oops i mean the stylish Fardeen Khan
Zayed Khan ... uggghhhh
Sharman Joshi .... "Excuse me" who is he???? (remember him frm the movie Style)
Ayesha Takia ... it seems her lips have been permanently set to smile...even in emotional scenes
Soha Ali Khan ... she reminds me of Pinocchio
Esha Deol ... no matter how bad she acts, starkids will continue to get movie offers
Riya Sen ... only looks n nothing else
Aarti Chabria ... less said the better
"Dr. Love" Sophie...i understand tht not all VJs' can act, but atleast they shld be able to deliver a dialogue
Sanjay Dutt ... a brother in need is a brother indeed... pls stop tht Punjabi accent


There is no storyline, no acting... only Sharman has a better timing for some comedy. The guys look blank, wives r totally dressed up n the temptresses r totally dressed down. Songs have forgettable lyrics.. only the "Dil nahi toda karte" is worth listening for one time. The director David Dhawan, actor Govinda n No. 1 tag used to create magic a few years ago. Probably, David is missing Goliath... i mean Govinda. Govinda can return to films.. as it is he is doing nothing in politics.

U saved my dough.. dude. was planning to watch it this weekend.
Last weekend I made a terrible mistake of watching Garam Masala. Except paresh rawal's bits of comedy there is nothing to watch in the movie...

I think you can leave Neilsoft now and join Times of India to write reviews of films. Or if you can write it in Marathi you should join Sakal cos the reviews in it are even more horrible than the movie itself.

That was really creative. Since you must be knowing that i dont watch many movies you can send me those kind of reviews and keep help me abreast of the bollywod movies.
Good one
