Karthik Rocking Karthik

I have never been able to catch a movie 'first day first show' even of my most favourite-st actors - until now.

Its a plus anyways as the tickets are priced low .. and you have fertile college crowd everywhere ...

Farhan Akhtar is brilliant in the film, as he is with all his movies. KCK is full of witty one liners - which are so characteristic of every Excel movie.

But I felt no chemistry whatsoever between the man and his lady, which is what makes the second half a bit ' ...havent I seen that before' kinds.

It sure has its tense moments. There is something very spooky about the phone and you feel scared of the 'other' Karthik.

I feel this (might be) one of the pathbreaking films in the thriller genre, if it does well. Its a long time we had a genuine pshychological thriller. I mean, havent we all gotten bored with the Abbass Mustan way of seeing thrillers?

A personal observation: There is something about Excel Movies. Right on from DCH - Honeymoon Travels - LBC - KCK etc. they might not produce stuff that is a super - duper hit, but they have tried telling different stories each time.

Would want to watch all their movies.

M(ain) NI K(ehta) tha .. bekar film hogi

I saw MNIK or My Name is Khan. For the first time in several years I was optimistic about a Karan Johar film.

Firstly, because he was moving away from the usual candy floss slash family melodrama formula, and secondly, and probably for the first time ever since he started directing, he had NOT written the screenplay.

All, until I saw the film. My first feelings were like I saw a documentary, of sorts. Or rather a confused travelogue on America ...

there was just no central message in the film ...or rather, they failed to convey it exactly

But I have to admit, I liked Shah Rukh Khan more than any of his earlier movies [except KHKN]. We are gradually seeing the 'actor' in SRK and not the rahul-raj-repeat! characters.

The film will be accepted solely on the acting brilliance of SRK ...and practically, nothing else.

First things first ..

Heya!

I hv been thinking to start this thing for quite a while now, but alas.. it took some time for a wish to become a W i LL.

This blog is about films... their technique in making, it analyses, the WHYS?, the place for how-could-it-be-bettered sort of ideas ....

I believe their is no school which can teach someone storytelling. Everyone has his/her own POV of seeing things and it affects them in their own unique way ...

I love cinema... and I love talking about it! :)
