Parmdeep Jagdev Wow!!!! we are supposed to believe that this is the coolest movie ever!!! The streets are lurking with perfect Barbie dolls dressed in next to nothing and daft boys looking to score. In this case the extremely annoying Uday Chopra and the equally if not more annoying Tanisha. Thank god this movie is not your usual three hours long and runs like a B-grade run of the mile romantic comedy. Hollywood's full of them. Saying that this movie is quite entertaining, and you can get a good laugh but for all the wrong reasons. You may not laugh at the jokes but the silly and likely probability of half the things the two get to in this movie. And finally some decent kissing in a bollywood movie. Which I gather was to lots of attract audiences but then again the two stars just don't seem to gel. there isn't any of that overly deep and emotional love we have become accustomed to. There's no tears no deep eye contact nothing? In fact very flat in places. on the plus the photography is nice and the songs bearable. Okay movie nothing to really shout about.
espiritlibre This movie takes place in Beautiful British Columbia in the city of Vancouver. Vancouver is ranked the third best city to live in the world. This movie captures not only Vancouver, Oliver and my favorite city Victoria. The title song takes place in Victoria...I love that song. There is a scene at the Camosun College (I went there, the best two years of my life) I believe not to mention Bastion Square and Victoria's scenic inner harbor. I hope more people decide to holiday in British Columbia. Vancouver is a wonderful diverse city. That is why I am proud to be Canadian and very lucky to be surrounded in a multicultural environment. The world comes to Vancouver there is no need to search for anything. Neal and Nikki was a cool and hip movie. A friend commented on how Nikki looks Italian. Also many of my friends saw the actual shooting. The actress who played the lawyer actually talked to a friend of mine. Blenz is another popular coffee chain besides the obvious Starbucks. I just got back from the VPL (Vancouver Public Library) where that particular coffee shop is...and I read a back issue of Filmfare (march 2006 and I read a bad review of this movie). That is what prompted me to write this!!! In defense of Neal AND Nikki. Many points to make...First of all like every Hindi movie has stereotypes and this one is no exception but there were a lot of truths in this movie. One general is that all girls liked to be serenaded too, that takes a lot of guts. Another truth is that people deal with breakups in different ways...Nikki's was drinking while the Lawyer had relationships on her own terms. This is Canada and you have a choice. The most general truth is the Punjabi stereotype of Nikki and her cousin. The last song with all three of them was nice, it was so funny when Neal tells Nikki he is going to make her dance at his wedding. They were both so stubborn. As far as exposure all actresses have been exposing, normally people do not walk around here with their navel exposed even in the summer. When non Indians watch some Indian dancing they blush, for me it is common way to dance because I grew up watching Hindi movies and English. I have learned to appreciate foreign films from the friends I have made from different countries who come to Canada for school etc... Nikki looked cute not vulgar. Neal looked hot. Uday has been working out and it shows, it showed in his first movie Mohabbatein. I saw that in theaters in 2000. All the songs in the movie are catchy. The director did an excellent job it is too bad that some people do not appreciate Canada. Vancouver is Hollywood north, I know actors that will be famous one day! Vancouver is always being made into America (as in Pardes). Pardes was shot at UBC, the part where she is giving her speech about "I love my India" At least in this movie Vancouver was given its due credit. The movie was awesome enough said.
AishFan OK, yeah, everyone's going bonkers over how vulgar, raunchy, and immoral this film is, but hey, this is a sex comedy--what can you really expect? Kya Kool Hai Hum was no exception. Please, please leave your brain at home before watching this movie. If you watch this movie seriously, you might get offended. This film is catered 100% to the NRI youth as it deals with a Candian-Indian looking for some action (21 girls in 21 days) before his wedding day. As absurd and shocking as the scenes and characters may seem, they weren't exaggerated. Yash Raj Films never leaves a job half-done and make sure it goes the full way to make a quality film. Neal 'n Nikki is no exception. Photography, music, direction, cinematography, etc. were all top-notch, and of course, the comedy was full-blown and in-your-face! Numerous scenes were hilarious, such as "Teenie & Beenie." This is not your regular Indian formula film. Songs were great, especially "Halla Re" and the ballad. Tanisha did a nice job. Uday Chopra suited his role. The DVD is top quality and has tons of special features!
For the Love of Good Cinema This movie is very modern and forward. It is about 75% in English. It is aimed at English-speaking multiplex-going young audience. Basic plot is similar to DDLJ. Acting is below average.Unfortunately they are portraying a wrong picture and setting a bad example for the youngsters. Tanisha is shown drinking from a bottle, or taking shots of tequila about 5-6 times in the movie. The director does not even acknowledge she is an alcoholic and has a drinking problem. All through the movie she only wears bikini tops whether she is at work, at a beach or at a wedding. The heroine of the movie doing this makes the youngsters feel this behaviour is acceptable.The less that is said about failure of Uday Chopra doing Shahrukh Khan's DDLJ role of arrogant girl-chaser, the better. The movie is about equality of sexes. But equality should not be about making the same mistakes, instead about doing the right to do the right thing. If men have been shown as chronic Casanovas in movies, does not mean women should also portray same behaviour.Even though the movie is made in light-hearted fun spirit, it promotes so many wrong social notions in the name of being forward, that "fun" part of the movie makes no impact. Not even in Canada women dress like this, or guys behave like they have shown in the movie. It is certainly not a reflection of Indian society or even Canadian society. Perhaps they should have a disclaimer at the beginning stating, "All characters and events in the movie are imaginary and do not reflect the actual culture of the cities and countries mentioned in the film." The only good thing about this movie is the length, 1.5 hrs, thank god.
