But then my hubby, who's only just recently gotten into Hindi films (after 12 years of teasing me, he finally 'gets' the appeal, LOL), said, 'Y'know, this is kinda like a filmi version of 'The Godfather.'). That was a real 'a-ha' moment for me in terms of enjoying and understanding the film much better. Although I'm not a fan of Katrina's, she wasn't too annoying in this film.<br /><br />Now, as for 'DTBHJ,' because of my big-time crush (okay...bordering on lust sometimes, LOL - he's just soooo adorable and so naughty boy sexy, I confess!) I just couldn't wait to see this film. About 20 minutes into it, I was thinking, 'Emmm...okay...this is going to start to pick up and start to gel. It'll either be a comedy for the first half, then serious, or it'll be a farcical David Dhawan type romp all the way through.' I also thought, 'The music's gonna get better. The story's gonna get better. The dialogues are going to get better.' I completely agree with you on this one - it was just sooooooo MEH. As in, nothing. I think Ajay is an excellent actor, and I think Emraan, even with the charisma that he exudes, is in his own right an excellent actor, too. I also ask the question - why is this man regarded as a 'B' actor, and not up there with the mighty Khans and Akshay? I can list so many films that even my husband said, 'Wow...this guy really has this understated, less-is-more appeal about his acting.'<br /><br />But in this film, as with Ajay, he was wasted. Completely wasted. Especially after their excellent pairing off one another in 'OUATIM' - they were both truly outstanding!<br /><br />It's very, very, very, very rare - as in, pretty much NEVER - that I can't get through an entire film and have to switch it off if it's on a DVD from being either so bad, or so boring. It wasn't that 'DTBHJ' was bad...more that is was just so boring. So 'meh.' which is a shame.<br /><br />I think the only other film I couldn't get through was - and I know I'm probably in the minority on this one - was 'Shabd.' I like Aish a lot (and I think she deserves far more credit as an actress than she's given), and of course I dig Sanju. The cinemotography and the special visual effects were stunning. But I cannot stomach Zayed. Even in 'Main Hoon Na,' if it wasn't such a great film, with excellent songs, a decent plot and had SRK, the excellent and under-rated Sunil, and the amazing Naseeruddin Shah, I would've walked out of the cinema - Zayed just cannot act. 'Shabd' demonstrated that, in spades for me. He annoyed the crap out of me, if I'm honest about it.<br /><br />Sorry...I'm rabbitting on and on here, I realise. I'll shut up now and say that I completely agree with you on 'DTBJH,' but really dug 'Rajneeti.' And Arjun. I like Arjun. A lot.june the filmifan in irelandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6090203181636946085.post-68932394082840625832012-01-13T03:45:01.489+01:002012-01-13T03:45:01.489+01:00Oh Gosh, I actually had to sit through TMK, it was...Oh Gosh, I actually had to sit through TMK, it was so painful.

And Divya Dutta is not suited for a negative role, and after 3 Idiots Omi was disappointing in this. OTOH, I LOVED Rajneeti, because I can recognise the story and the context. But I see how confusing it would have been for someone who familiarity with neither Indian politics or the Mahabharata.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524839828200125377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6090203181636946085.post-12602484681103754662011-05-04T19:31:34.388+02:002011-05-04T19:31:34.388+02:00Whoever likes Akshaye Khanna has an IQ higher then...Whoever likes Akshaye Khanna has an IQ higher then a wooden rocking horse for sure! :) I like to exagarate sometimes, do not take me too seriously. <br /><br />Thank you for stopping by! :)Gaja Gaminihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706070560137160651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6090203181636946085.post-29894991420474113742011-05-04T19:22:46.150+02:002011-05-04T19:22:46.150+02:00I'd like to think my IQ is higher than that of...I'd like to think my IQ is higher than that of a wooden object, though Tees Maar Khan sure did a lot to insult it.
