And what it does to a person who has watched it twice, you've already seen an example of it on this very blog :) Blame the movie for the posts you've been seeing here lately.
I know this comes as a surprise to you. And that your thinking about re-evaluating my "insanity" status, and maybe considering pushing me to a notch higher on the scale. A few notches. In my defence... It wasn't in my hands! Two different sets of cousins wanted to watch it. And both being in different cities... Twice. Two times. Not one, not three, TWO. Yuccckk.
The movie has two halves. Neither of which are linked to eachother. By the time you get yourself involved into the first half, it's time for caramel popcorn. And your glad you were busy trying not to get sticky stuff on your dress, by the time the credits come rolling.
In the first half, Aamir plays the role of a guide and he does one helluva job showing Kajol, Delhi (ahem) where she's come to perform at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Innocent girl from small town, and blind at it meets out going and hunky playboy. Lots of shayari.. sparks fly... lame songs, except Chand Sifarish, come. They try to bring in humor by bringing in Jaspal Bhatti, the operative word here being TRY. Oh and if you think the movie ends with her gaining her eye sight... your right. Though, it happens before the interval... What more could there be? Aamir is dead. Terrorist attack. Bada bang, bada bong.. pop corn time!!
And you come back to real hep music, and black polished shoes walking and a brief case. Voila` Aamir is back from the dead with a new hair cut and glasses. Or maybe it's an evil twin. Ha! And I'm Miss India... Oh and if there is a small chance that you still haven't guessed that this guide is actually a terrorist, you... well, just enjoy the pop corn and whoever, oops my mistake.. whatever goes with it ;)
And so it goes on. He meets her again. And meets his son too. Some nonsense, the movie is. For all the hype and all that. But I guess it did show what it intended to show.. how messed up some lives can be. The only thing I didn't like was how not involving it was for us audience. Oh and Tabu also comes in, as Ms. Detective. They really think wearing a leather jacket makes a woman look like she's a part of the FBI??
Anyway, if you haven't seen it, don't. Because if you liked the two songs that are likeable from the movie, the movie is a dissapointment. Unless of course, you have someone who can distract you enough in the theatre, to enjoy whatever little there is to enjoy in the movie.
I like the shayari. The original ones at least that figure in the songs.. All the others are SMS's. Yuckk. Kajol looks damn good. And so does Aamir.. but he's kinda stuck to the lime green and turquoise blue combination in the first half. Oh and their kid is sooo cute.
Rone de tu aaj humko,
Tu aakhein sujane de,
Bahon mein le le aur khud ko bheeg jane de,
Hai jo seenae mein kaid dariya.
Woh choot jayega...
Hain itna dard ke tera daman bheeg jayega.
... that is just about all that I really really liked in the movie. And the two songs. And one more piece of shayari. And of course the movie going on a few seats next to me. When we got up during the interval to get us some drinks... my bro actually took me seat, because then he could get a better look. Guys. Sigh. And I'd bet he made his own movie while watching the same flick with his fiance` (she wasn't with us the day we went..). And I'd win.
;)
I am listening to the same song right now!!!
and yeah the movie was bad, actually very very bad!!!!
kajol was beautiful again and aamir was decent too, but the story sucked big time!!! i cant understand how such good actors actualy choose such a lame film with a lousy storyline!!!
Insanity caused by a movie?!? i know what you mean ;)
-_- i am like this coz of all the shongs i listen to -_-
Thank You for the movie update.. say NO to fana.. oops drugs.. Go catch some good movies like crash.. it may get u back to normal :P although crash can mess with ur head.. hehe
Rythwin
actually i thought fanaa meant to be martyred in love...which isn't very different from your version but for linguists such as myself its like the similarity between mercury and earth
P.S: i left the comment in the shoutbox coz the comps in the lab have firewalls
the only reason i watched the movie was kajol.. damn she looked good.. heh.. movie was prety lame elseways..
it was such a tupid movie!!!!!!
GOsh everywhere I come to know is Fanna is bad choice to see :( and haven't seen yet, but I want to see Kajol :(

Nice write up
@aytida: thankus for agreeing :) And those two songs are amazing.
@bg: hahahaha...
P.S: but you can't be 100% sure your going to win, cuz it's a bet. And this one, i'm sure i'd win 100%. (yes, i am contradicting myself).
@Ry: yes, crash screws you up too.
@nav: hmmm.. smart. and abt the linugistic thing, my little toe :P

@sis: yes yes. And I'm the est sis in the world. And you're a rat.

Thanks for bisiting guys.. Lotsaluv,
YOurs forever sthupitly.

I came home to Bangalore from Hyderabad and offered to take my parents to the movie. And after the movie I regreted blowing up my money for a movie as terribly stupid as that.
I liked the kid in the movie.
