Money Hai Toh Honey Hai

Back to theatre again.... I am real movie freak... whatever you say.. I choose this movie over "Mission Istanbul" being that action movie and I am sure that latter movie will give you headache and nothing else from it and even promos were not so promising.. This movie starring Govinda, Haniska, Upen, Aftab, Celina, Manoj & Esha (for song), Kim & Ravi (for minor or say crisp role).... Thought to be light comedy movie but turned out to be serious movie with bit comic scene....

Movie starts with no sense of title song.. "only tune i.e. Money hai toh honey hai" is quite humming lyrics but rest of line or lyrics is all bouncers... i mean head ache.. Starts with mad prem chopra.. he is mad.. and about to die and looking for heir who can take over his entire business empire... his lucky number is 6 so he wants to select 6 heirs to takeover... with no logic, no sense, nothing.. this guy select 6 mobile numbers and becomes happy as he got heirs for his business empire...

and you can guess 6 heirs.. brief about them

Govinda -- rich guy careless son. who dont care but entertainment with dad hard earned money (dream to enjoy whole life without tension but with entertainment and entertainment)

Aftab --- working in ad agency but his ideas are taken as bull shit and crap, seen as loser in office (dream to open his own ad agency)

Celina -- work for fashion design, designs clothes but tag is of famous fashion designer (dream to open her own fashion production house)

Upen --- struggling model... who works for low grade product model.. (dream to be top model & brand ambassador like saif, shahrukh)

Haniska -- TV serial actress.. (dream to be top actress of big banner movies)

Manoj --- unsuccessful businessman.. who loses his money but happy because he got some experience out of it.. (dream to make it big one day in business....)

Movie is simple and nothing to do with comedy or sense... Prem chopra is about to die and selects this lucky 6 heirs to take over... these 6 starts dreaming only to find out that prem chopra whose empire is about 1000 crores is in debt of 1600 crores.. these 6 people capabilities of themselves and join together to save the company and their lives and live their dream....

Ganesh is testing your patience, comic sense, or say every bit of sense u have in ur head for first half to complete and testing continues till the end of movie.. I was having no clue where the movie is heading, where is going, where it is tailing.. songs are forced inside the story.... except govinda, ravi and manoj (comic role) did justice to role.. u will find quite irritating and no sense in their head. lot of over acting...

If you guys/ gals are looking for comedy in this movie then forget it.. It's all about Money, Honey.... if u dont have value for ur money, u can waste it on this movie and still spend money for headache pills afterwards... and yes if u want revenge with your friend. u can recommend him/her to watch movie.... He/She will definitely have headache, will scratch each and every hair out of head, etc.... I would rate only 1 star out of 5... (dont watch type)

WANTED

I made up my mind two months ago for watching this movie the very first week. Trailers were simply superb... Assassin concept, Mind blowing stunts and to add more Angelina Jolie in her full action... After Tomb raider series, I think this movie will give more fame for action sequence perform by Angelina Jolie.... I was waiting for this movie to release and me to go, grab seat and enjoy the action-filled movie....

I choose this movie over HANCOCK (Will Smith) as a superhero just bcos of its human connect with assassin, action, etc.. which i could not related with superhero powers, extra ordinary, strength, etc... to do so in normal human life.

Movies starts with the note addressing to audience about the "Fraternity" who kills people to save world or say assassain people (killing one person can save lives of thousand). They have very ancient godly way of figuring name of person who becomes their next target.

Welsey (lead actor) shown as loser in office, loser in life (as his best friends sleeps with Welsey's girl), loser in everything.... It is when Angelina Jolie (part of fraternity group) meets him at grocery shop and then starts the fighting sequence with Mr. Cross (another main character of movie) (unbelieveably brillantly excecuted action sequence).. Be it at gun firing sequence in grocery shop, chase between car and truck, action sequence, the way Jolie drives the car (though few scenes are animated) still it hold your breath and makes you excited...

Morgan is head of fraternity group and wants Welsey to be part of it. He test him by making him to shoot wings of flies.. Welsey cannot hold gun but then on gun point, he manages to shoots off wings of several flies.. he wants to be away from all this (blood, killing, assasaination, etc) but then next day he found fortune (around 3.6$ million) in his bank account and then the boldly fire back to boss.. quits his job, hits his friend with keyboard.. showing his friend blooded tooth coming out... and while leaving broken keys shows message of "F**K YOU"...

Welsey goes under to intensive training (real blood shedding punches, knife cuts, etc). Each day he is made to sit tied with chair and get blows, punches till he feel down unconscious, then he goes for knife fight where he is really gets cuts badly.... really it is reallllllllllllllll blood shedding training to make him tougher and stronger for more will power.....

After the traning completes, Morgan gives him the first assignment from FATE OF LOOM (The Loom of Fate, a loom that gives the names of the targets through a binary code hidden in the weaving of the threads).. Welsey first hesitates killing his target.. thinking that why should he kill him without knowing what he did or why he did, etc.... but then Jolie narrates her childhood story where a fratenity member failed to assasain one person which resulted to death of her father in later days....

Story till here is smooth going and fine.. real excitement starts when there comes a twist, sharp U turn in story road line.... Cross who is behind Welsely is actually his father and wants Welsey to be out of fraternity group.... and welsey is under impression that Cross is professional killer and is behind welsey to kill him.... Welsey is trained and brought into group by morgan and jolie because Cross wont backfire or say attack his own son hence he is plotted against father... there is amazing and wonderfully executed scene where train falling down into valley and all these truth is revealed by Jolie (who is again accompany Welsey to kill him; as soon as he kills Cross)...

Welsey escape from train and fall into river valley and decides to destroy whole fraternity group and origin of the place.... he comes up with wonderful, rather say brillant idea to destroy the place and then attack.... Morgan with his fraternity members encircle him at gun point and there is where another twist revealed that morgan comes up with all fraternity members name as next target indicated from "Fate of Loom".. all are shocked, surprised.... Jolie fires such a way that bullet travels in circular manner and goes through every member head and finally same bullet goes to her head.... Welsey is out of revenge but by that time Morgan fleeds from scene...

Next scene was like Welsey is back to work... i thought "oh no, not again for that poor guy".. but it was plot set for Morgan to come and Welsey kills him by firing bullet from miles away (same as his father does CROSS does in the beginning of the movie)... THE END>.....

Plot, action sequence, twist, story line, subject are all appreciable but only one thing that did not digest me was the bullet firing technique.. though it may work, but still couldnt digest (specially the circular fire in the end of the movie killing all fraternity members in one shot.. it bypasses our Rajnikanth style... i hope Rajnikanth have not seen this movie.. else god will also wonder what will his unpredictable, unbelievable, nature defying stunts to come. ).... You will enjoy the bullet sequence too just because of the direction been shown and way it is being shot... Direction is more than perfect...

Overall i would rate this movie as three and half out of five stars... Movie does not bore you, keeps u excited, action sequence (be in train, car, bullet, anything) is executed brillantly... moreover i know u guys.. angelina jolie is back with action stunts.... "GOOD MOVIE" "MUST WATCH"

Jaane Tu... ya jaane na

I have to believe myself.. i have never been so movie buff watching movies after movies each coming saturday... i was clear that if this movie wasn't aamir khan production then i would have chosen "Love Story 2050" for watching this saturday. I knew that if aamir is producing then definitely movie will be sensible and worth watching.. and aamir does not let u down. For him, believe in script and execution; rest everything will fall into for success.....

"Jaane Tu.... ya jaane na" is a debut movie for "Imraan Khan" cute and choclately face.... (note: Imraan is nephew of aamir.. this movie was definitely not a launch pad for his nephew but it was director who choose imraan after having screen test and audit... aamir fall into this picture after the selection of imraan.) Genelia the lead actress was of course selected after the aamir khan intervention.. lets not fall into selection.. movie is without big name & fame stars.... i was curious to see this movie as it set in college life.. college friends... (seems from trailer)... it would be definitely fun going movie....

Now whats is pulling you for watching this in theatres apart from aamir khan production?

First is simple & straight story... Imraan - Jai & Genelia - Aditi... popularly calling each other as "Rats for Jai and Meow for Aditi" (Aditi is fond of cats and Jai being close and dear he is nicknamed as rats - rats and cats share close relationship -- hey hey halo.. i know cats loves as their foods.. but here the case is different.. like tom and jerry.. they both fight with each other but also miss each other and loves so much) are best and closest friends among the group... they are so close friends that their friend group and even families of both are mistaken it to be love and not friendship.. they are made for each other... so when and how these two realise the same... (dont stop here... i know storyline is simple... i told you earlier but still more to look out in this movie)

Second is wonderfully executed & story direction.... there is no as such dude of college or hero of movie concept. it is just like our college days.. college friends.. thinking they are friends but slowly realize that they are more than friends and are in love... such a simple story was executed and directed wonderfully that u wont feel that 3 hours went like puff...goof..... and movie is over... u will fall into story and though predicted, u feel excited about story going... same was shown in movie.. Friends are depiciting a story to boring / moody / proudy gal who finally grow interest and is more excited to know more and more about story....

Third flawless & natural acting.... you will find the natural talent coming up in all characters.. be it aditi, jai, or their friends or parents or financee of aditi or new girlfriend of jai or rajat kapoor family... there is as such no extra emotion been put up.. everything is flowing so naturally that you definitely fall into college days memories and your friends group and your crush, masti and all......

Fourth chart buster songs... u will enjoy songs "kabhi kabhi aditi" "Pappu cant dance" "nazareen milana, nazareen churana"... really chart buster songs... i was surprised to see and hear whole audience in theater were singing these songs in sync.. u will enjoy it.... and add more to this. there is no extra fitted songs as it used to be in love songs... it is college friends dude... every songs has its own charisma, magic, masti and fun within friend group.....

Fifth situational comedy.... u will crack up and go back to our comedies we use to do in college within group.. some scenes are really watch ... Jai fighting sequence with college brat. how he tackle him? .... Jiggi calling Jai and asking him whether he is coming for his own surprise birthday party & more to it, you have see his readymade reaction on birthday suprise.. (too good jiggi).... Situational comedy does not miss and definitely make u laugh . if not atleast smile...

List goes on but let me stop here else you will say me that aamir fan so writing much of positive notes for this home production movies.. Guys / Gals out there... point here overall movie is excellent with simple script executed and brought up story board wonderfully.. I will rate this movie 4 out of 5 stars... it is "must see movie" type else you will miss something.... go and grab tickets now.......

Two Strangers --- New Life in One Soul

This is in continuation to my previous blog "Marriage on cards" http://luvabhi.blogspot.com/2008/01/marriage-on-cards.html

It was D-Day for me when I have to choose a partner for my rest of life. I was nervous as well as excited. I was imagining her in my heart. Nervous (have to take decision for life partner) & Excited (want to meet a gal who cleared all criteria or condition set by my huge and big joint family... you would have come to know from my earlier blog)....

We met, had nice conversation, bit nervous & excited, striking friendship at first... and then after half an hour i could hear loud "YES" or say "GOD BLESS YOU COUPLE" (there is saying "God already decides couple in heaven itself" & "Made for each other").... we got engaged and then new life of ours starts ticking...... calls started flooding.. i am sure Airtel, BSNL, Vodafone, Reliance network would have got jammed.... You have to see me.. i was holding two mobiles, one landline receiver to greet my relatives & friends congratulation calls... Thank god, I am not octopus.. else i don't know how many mobile or landline i would be holding !!!!!!!

From here, our life began and with it new journey, new feeling, new responsibilities, new priorities, new plans...

Just imagine... two strangers met each other for the first time... they decided to live together for rest of life... slowly they began to know each other.... understand each other... enjoy each other warmth feeling... hugs, kisses and love for each other.... Accepting each other, sync & synergize so easily, become responsible for every action and reaction, biggest motivation factor, support and trust even when nobody stands with you, love even hatred is all around, never let u feel lonely, friend to whom you can share everything without any discomfort, you feel secure and warm his/her arms, feel like special and blissed, feeling of being loved and loving more than anybody in world...

Same person was once a stranger.. now is life partner.... gr8 ! what a phenomenon change in behavior ! what a chemistry ! and that too strikes so fast! Relationship bonding gets stronger and stronger with each passing day...


Many relationship comes with birth but this one is different and makes special as two different person are moulded into one new soul. New life starts with responsibility, trust, love, understanding, friendship, secure and everything person thinks to get......Two strangers starts a new life and becomes one soul in no matter of time.

Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic

I could not believe myself.. i am watching movies week after week continously.. first was Sarkar Raj, then Mere Baap Pehle Aap, then De Taali and now Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic... ufff.... so many more movies to come in coming week too.. My ghosh ! Love Story 2050, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Wanted, Hancock (dont get surprised; i do watch hollywood movies too)... I am blocked my timing for next few sundays too.... I have never planned for my other activities like this..... This would be a record for me going 8 weeks continously for movie on Sundays... can't help myself too... all faults lies with director and producers.. :) releasing movies week after week.... ;)

ok ok come to topic "Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic"..... movie is about 4 kids who dislikes and wants to take revenge from Saif Ali Khan and then there is angel Rani Mukherjee sent on earth on mission by God (Rishi Kapoor) that she have to make kids and Saif like each other and as soon as mission is over, she will return back to heaven.

Movie begins with Saif childhood days... where he loses everything in life (his childhood love, mom, dad) and been sent to boarding school..... he remains isolated and always be lonely.. makes no friends hence no friends.. becomes adamant, stubborn but genius and successful businessman who wins prestigious enterpenur of the year award..... He meets with an acccident which results into death of family (mom and dad of 4 kids).... court orders saif a unique punishment ..... to take care of 4 kids untill youngest kid becomes 18 years. else lifeterm jail without bail... so this is real reason for 4 kids who were eagarly waiting to meet Saif and take revenge of killing their parents.... First night of kids at Saif home.. they pray god and yes god(Rishi Kapoor) listens to them and sends angel (Rani Mukherjee) to help kids and Saif to like and love each other....

ooopppsss... i forgot Amisha Patel... how can i? friends if u r thinking that Amisha is going to play a good role in this... then you are mistaken... she is there only for skin show and to have glamour in movie... Amisha plays as dumb girlfriend of Saif... which over period of time, even Saif wants to get rid of his girlfriend..... Amisha has no job but to bring glamour and do skin show for few seconds and vanish from screen.....

come on friends... dont get diverted from fairy tale..... kids does many pranks, loss to Saif but in vain... Saif does get anger but his patience works for him.... Rani does win heart of kids and slowly Saif too.... Saif gives good advice, helps in wining cooking competition, talks honestly and cutely and does not shout a word even when he loses billion dollar contract on kids.. this manner Saif wins kids heart and they are now on for Saif.... Saif too likes kids and yes in progress began to love our angel.. fears to say her but now Rani has to go to heaven back... she admits to god that she too began to like kids and Saif.. God makes her to stay back with them for rest of life and disappears...

Kids did a good job; emotional quotient, mischief and kiddish behaviour is nice.. Saif does justice to his role; rani brings screen more lively and amisha uuffss does much of overacting and over glamour.... Overall the movie does not have impact in heart or say not even impact on head.... story has nothing much to convey.... it is like "thoda pyaar thoda magic" has "No pyaar No magic" ... i would rate this movie as 2 out of 5 stars........ "Let Go" type movie. no harm in missing this movie....
