Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006)
Biggest disappointment of the year so far!!!!!!!!!!!!
First thing first......a mature subject needs even mature treatment and KANK disappoints on all fronts. Irritatingly long, its three hours and thirty minutes, first thing which comes to mind while seeing the movie is somewhere the director himself seems so confused what exactly he wants to portray. the film is running as many as 15-20 shows a day in multiplexes and tickets not available till Wednesday, this being a loooong weekend in India, but I suppose , by Monday the film will start coming down. The only reason why people should see the movie is because of Abhishek bachan. Starting with director, this s no a typical karan johar movie at all. This movie is Karan's worst ever till date
The director seems confused as well as over confident. And both of things go against the movie. Karan over the years has made a reputation of being portraying larger than life characters in his movies but this kind of treatment always needs to be created with extra care, and this time the director really lets it down. Also, as per the locations also, Karan always Give a lot of importance to locations also in his films, but in this movie , though its been shot in New York, the locations doesn't come out as they should really.. Come to Acting, SRK has always been favor ate, and he gained extremely high respect after his SWADES last year, but in this movie, it's so irritating and pathetic. Every scene, every on screen entry, every dialog should not be over reacted, or over acted, and the Burdon of an actor doing this lies with director as well. Rani mukherjee wears fashionable Saree's through out the film, whether serious scene or walking on the road, which sometimes gets irritating. Film needs a real editing; at least it can be cut by more than one hour. Music of the movie is okayish, though not as good as Karan's other blockbusters. The only good thing about the movie is abhishek bachan, his acting rocks in the movie and out of my 3/10, 2.5 is because of abhishek All in all this movie is not recommended to any person who wants to see a good Bollywood movie, not recommended to any Karan fan, not to any person who wants to go to see a movie at weekend after all the hard work throughout the week. It's the biggest disappointment of the year

American Blend (2006)
Awesome!!!
Though the movie has not been officially released in India or US till yet, i was one of the lucky chap to watch it during its world premiere at recently held Osian film festival in New Delhi. I must say , the director has done his home work and has done a great job in blending the Indian and US culture. The movie is about an India Father and an American wife, and their 3 children's. the selection of actors is also very nice. Its a kind of movie with which lots of people can identify with. the music was awesome and the characterization was really great. The sequence of tap dancing and kathak was one of the best blend of culture i have seen on the screen.
all in all, a great entertainer.
