I imagine things like the handshake contract between Sameer and his producer, and the consequent fall out, happen more often than we realize.<br /><br />I've heard that Bomarillu is a very good movie and that Geneila has done some very good work in Southie films. One day I will remember all the movies I've been recommended and place a big order.Shelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758282383525747870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856106477563761138.post-72714156926112389672010-04-22T20:50:56.070-07:002010-04-22T20:50:56.070-07:00My twin and I also liked CPD.

So you, ajnabi, filmigirl et all are not in a minority in liking this movie. <br /><br />I liked your review. The movie is a realistic portrayal of how people struggle in getting a foothold in Bollywood esp the scenes involving Monish Behl as a producer and the way he treats Shahid.<br /><br />See Genelia in the telugu movie Bomarillu - The BollywoodFan has the best review on this movie. Siddarth (from Rang De Basanti) is the hero. Prakash Raj is the dad.<br /><br />I also liked Genelia in Mere Baap Pehle Aap. Akshay Khanna is the hero. Paresh Rawal, Om Puri and South Actress/ Dancer shobana have good roles too. I think this is a remake of a malayalam film by Priyadarshan.<br /><br />Genelia was also the heroine in the hit telugu movie Ready which is being re-made in hindi acc to press reportsFilmbuffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856106477563761138.post-73945778457541493452010-04-22T13:32:52.899-07:002010-04-22T13:32:52.899-07:00I've seen Life Partner.

But,...Shahid is so adorable; it's unbelievable. But, speaking of Bollywood changing, I really wonder about whether these new guys (regardless of how adorable they are) are ever fully going to be able to replace folks like the three Khans, in terms of being personalities that people want to see and know about, and will adore no matter what. I mean, for example, can anyone really fill SRK's shoes?<br /><br />But if anyone can manage that it will be the two Kapoors, Shahid and Ranbir; they are pretty awesome.

It's okay to like them, really it is!<br /><br />I liked Luck By Chance actually, but I liked this film more, and I agree 100% about the physical comedy aspect. Shahid was so funny in that opening bit, I would watch it again just for that!<br /><br /><br />@ajnabi - We may be only 3, but at least we know what we like!

Plus, in a dance movie you almost always have a dance contest, dance off or show, and that is missing completely. <br /><br /><i>What exactly does "Hollywoodized" mean? Does that mean a loss of distinct song sequences? Or just having tighter storylines and lesser running times?</i><br /><br />Well, CPD certainly has it's share of song sequences, so I don't think it is that exclusively (though I've noticed and increase substitution of actual picturizations with background songs or music montages). It's something I need to explore more, but a lot of the newer movies that I've seen just feel different, even from movies made only 10 years ago. Though, to be fair, it could be that the industry is just progressing and my generalization is incorrect. As long as they continue to make movies I can love I don't really care where the industry goes.Shelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758282383525747870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856106477563761138.post-73552036927675039132010-04-20T13:31:48.913-07:002010-04-20T13:31:48.913-07:00@Christy - the special effect really only bothered...@Christy - the special effect really only bothered me on that one song, but I get your point. I have seen Dil Bole Hadippa. I actually didn't like it as much. Don't know if it was the chemistry between Rani and Shahid, or what, but I didn't feel it. Usually I am all about a Yash Raj production.<br /><br />@sonia_bonjour - Well, it certainly has gotten it's fair share of bad reviews, but I thought it was sweet and honest and lots of fun. Definitely a must watch for Shahid. I've yet to venture into Southie films, but will watch them if they come my way.Shelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758282383525747870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856106477563761138.post-73134990538690555442010-04-20T12:38:40.586-07:002010-04-20T12:38:40.586-07:00I agree 100%!!

I liked this <i>so much more</i> than <b>Luck By Chance</b> - it felt more emotionally real even if it was less 'Hollywood realistic.'<br /><br />Shahid is an amazing physical actor and I feel like Ken Ghosh got him to use his talents to the fullest even during the non-dance sequences. That opening sequence with him getting breakfast, brushing his teeth, etc. GENIUS! This is one I would gladly watch again, even though it's not a technically "Good" film. :)Filmi Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182245444783020664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856106477563761138.post-69879882365548511632010-04-20T12:13:28.415-07:002010-04-20T12:13:28.415-07:00One more film about films?

I'll try to get it from the library, if/when it arrives!<br /><br />"<i>It seems more and more films are being made following a "Hollywoodized" formula.</i>" <br /><br />What exactly does "Hollywoodized" mean? Does that mean a loss of distinct song sequences? Or just having tighter storylines and lesser running times? Coz, apart from these, I really dont see much difference between Hollywood and Bollywood - both industries seem equally formula driven in their narratives and contents. Of course, Hollywood doesnt make <i>masala</i> films like <a href="http://dustedoff.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/now-why-does-that-sound-familiar/" rel="nofollow">it used to</a>, but then neither has Bollywood, for more than two decades!bollyviewerhttp://bollyviewer-oldisgold.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856106477563761138.post-52034605639767925092010-04-20T11:35:08.904-07:002010-04-20T11:35:08.904-07:00Thanks for the post!

I haven't watched CPD yet but I'm definitely watching it since I'm a big fan of both Shahid and Genelia. <br /><br />You HAVE to have to watch more films with Genelia! I've only seen her in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na if we're talking about Hindi films. But she's spectacular in many South Indian movies!Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04188688443584731848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856106477563761138.post-78068221029745755972010-04-20T09:59:28.578-07:002010-04-20T09:59:28.578-07:00I liked it too for what it was.

I was more bothered by the special effects than you I think because it was an indication to me of a certain laziness or disingenuousness on the part of the filmmakers. "you can't figure out how to shoot it? Ok, we'll just throw in some effects." or "you know I've really been wanting to play around with this new special effects computer program I got. Can I just throw some in the film somewhere?" Anyway, have you seen Dil Bole Hadippa yet? I like that Yash Raj makes total fluff films but are honest about it and put all the money and effort and thought into them that most companies would save for "serious" films. All hail movies that aren't great but are still a lot of fun!Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131244543736980883noreply@blogger.com
