WOW.. 2008 almost coming to an end... and i can hardly say with pride that Bollywood has seen her share of fame and glam. For starters we need original script writers :- A Wednesday and Aamir were the only two movies that seemed to catch that 'paisa vasool' script.
The first half of the year stoop up with Jodhaa Akbar and Raj Sarkar. A pre-historic movie and a sniff at the underworld. Both of them had their ups and downs but managed to get the cashier ringing.
The second half had actually a lot of them like Singh is King, Mumbai Meri Jaan , Fashion and Dostana.
And finally these are the movies which i personally felt captured it all...
Taare Zameen Par
If you haven't seen it, GRAB IT. Now I'd note be surprised if someone came up to me saying ''guess which movie is at the Oscar foreign category''. And that's what i call perfection to its par. The protagonist is eight year old Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary) a dyslexic. He's already won numerous awards for his role.The surprise is the direction of Aamir Khan - no blah blah or Ohh Haa... just to the point and he got it right. The highlight is the climax. Very well executed and balanced
Its truly Taare Zameen Par ...

ROCK ON!
Id like to say a double WOW to this. The front cover or Rolling Stones - what could one ask for again? It glues you to your seats and transform you into this deep rock star dream. Its a movie about rock stars - fame - break up - getting back together - finale. And Abhishek Kapoor did a excellent job getting that chain in one piece systematized organised. Kudos to the Fab Four : Farhan Akthar (lead singer), Arjun Rampal ( lead guitarist), Purab Kholi (percussion) and Luke Kenny (keyboards). Getting rock into tinsel town is complete suicide but this movie broke its barriers and cam on the top. Excellent music (thanks Shankar, Ehsaan Loy). Check out Farhan Akthars singing and Arjun Rampals transition. Magnificent is the word to describe it. And its true what they say music is the breath of life.
Tune in and ROCK ON!
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane NaSeriously I'm still wondering what i liked in the movie and why did it become a HIT. No one knows (ppl say its Aamir Mamus marketing). But the movie did have the excellent formula of a super hit. Introducing Imran Khan, well portrayed and loved it. It had all sorts of unbelievable stuff in it. But i guess in some cases you've got to believe in the unbelievable.Funny, wacky and tipsy will by definition one of this years biggest hits.
But still why Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
As for the performance Abhishek Bhachan for his don like Sarkar Raj, spidey like Dorna and gay like Dostana. Priyanka Chopra futuristic like Love Story 2050, fashionable like Fashion, friendly like Dostana and wonder woman like Dorna.
Still 23 days more for MMIX... Eagerly waiting for Ghajini and Rab Na Bana Di Jodi.

Hmmm... I like TZP and Rock on. Actually that is how movies should be, succint and sensible, no loud music or irritating characters. Well, franky I am not waiting for the other new releases, I am just kinda excited about HIgh School Musical 3, somehow I like that show...
