Okay i saw it...
I dunno...maybe i expected too much from the movie itself...it wasnt bad or anything...but maybe i was expecting something different...
nevertheless, it was good enough...
I liked the portrayal of the south industry...pretty accurate...Similarly, all the parodies n stuff in the film worked to a large extend and kept the film engaging. I liked the way all the characters were shown...except tushar's..he seemed misplaced in the movie and i have no idea whts the relevance of his role.
The songs were good...very 80s...as required by the movie.
The scenes i liked were vidya's first few scenes as the deglam"reshma", then her scenes with emraan. I didnt like the tushar kapoor track though. But the nassiruddin shah track was entertaining.
The dialogues are actually my biggest complaint...Im all in for punchy, dumdaar dialogues,...but i dunt think i need one every 2 seconds..somehow it ruined the flow of dialogue and conversation for me in the movie...seemed really theatrical and unnecessary..some of the lines were witty, some just tried too hard to be witty.
Now the performances...
for the first time ever...i loved emraan hashmi in a film..normally i find him totally creepy and wierd, but in this one, he was gr8. Very controlled, restrained and somewhat sexy too.
Nassiruddin shah is superb as always. He plays the south hero really well without getting into stereotypes aka the usual (ayyo, yanna rascala stuff)...he plays it cool and chilled out and i love tht abt his performance.
Tushar, like i said looked very out of place and wierd. His performance was awkward too...
The film was gr8 in the first half..but it slipped badly in the second when it begins to show silk's downfall. Things get a bit too cliched and predictable.
Now now now
Le Balan...she was zimply fabulous...I loved her as the small town reshma...then when she becomes silk, all arrogant and bratty and fiesty...shes gr8. She looks downright fugly throughout the film...but i appreciate her for being so bold and not worrying abt how she was looking as long as she was in character...kudos...
Overall..could have been much much much better...but not tht bad either...
3/5
