Ladies,

Saw Humpty's Dulhan yesterday.. time pass movie. Liked the crisp dialogs & good screen presence by the leads.. supporting cast was not good.. as usual spoilt the ending completely.. just rushed it in...

If you have time to pass...

Hi Aruna, long time. Who is in Humpty's Dulhan? I am watching 70s movies these days on youtube. These are my favorites as the stories are so light and uncomplicated. Just watched Dharmendra/Rakhi/Shatrughan Sinha's Blackmail. It has one of a really beautiful song that is picturized quite well. The movie was so funny because both the hero (Dharmendra) and the villain (Shatrughan) were not very bright. In fact, I liked the villain because he was so comically stupid. The heroine was the brightest of all three. And everyone wore crazy dresses - those printed shirts of 70s.

Angie, no need to be sorry ...I can understand, this thread is just for fun and we come here in our spare time only. For me too its hectic these days at work and later normal chores et all!! 😔..

Yeah..FIFA was full of surprises this time and I wanted Argentina to win in FIFA, I know they were underdogs. But Messy messed it up...it was a game of missed opportunities I felt.

Regarding Dhoom3 ..there were many spoofs..the ones I can remember is the starting fight of Abhishek Bachan, Uday Chopra..it was ridiculously comical; then how come a twin brother live indoors all the time away from the world 🤢...and another one is climax part ..they went from Chicago to Hoover dam or is it some other dam!! because as far as I know there is no such dam in Chicago. I look for logic when they have good star cast and spend millions of rupees/dollars on a movie. Btw., did you see my comment on EBP in last page 😊

Ladies..Did any of you watch Kick? Is it a superhero movie or a gangster movie...couldn't understand from the trailer.

Jia, I am also quite busy. So not getting much time. Have to finish one of the papers by next Wednesday and so far my brain is not working much. Also for some reason, I am sleeping a lot these days.
I did not watch the Argentina match, but I know that they could have won it if they had not missed those opportunities.
In Dhoom3, I did saw that starting fight of Abhishek and Uday Chopra and that put me to sleep until the twin thing came out. Then I saw that twin story and they presented it as if they are showing something unique. That was totally unbelievable. And that dam thing was hilarious. There is no dam in Chicago and going from Chicago to Hoover Dam in few minutes is just too comical. I guess they thought that nobody in India or the rest of the world would know about US Geography.
No, I did not see your comments on EBP. I did see Rekha's one day where she was giving up on Shlok. So I responded to that. I had gone to the forum because I had seen one Friday's episode which I had liked. Niranjan is back to being semi intelligent though it is still being shown as his fight vs. Astha's. But at least he is no longer dumb the way he was being portrayed. Astha is also being toned down and they are bringing back Shlok's original character - the ego and self righteousness. So if I ignore all that was shown since the end of Aditi track and watch these episodes as stand alone, then the episodes are much better. Niranjan is manipulating Shlok but in a more intelligent way where he is using Shlok's feelings for him and Anjali as well as his ego to drive distance between the two. Also even though they continue to mix traditionalism with Niranjan's evilness, they are showing that Niranjan's ego is one of the reasons where he cannot stand dissent. So I have watched last 3-4 episodes because of Niranjan, Shlok and Anjali.
Varad's affair story seems to be done quite badly. But at least they are showing Varad as a hypocrite and a person with double standards who takes easy way out and uses people. Not that I have any hopes from these CVs, but hopefully he would not be white washed by Astha. Sid and Jyoti are still dominating the show though they are now the most boring couple. But at least the quality has improved somewhat.
Anyway, for now I am again watching EBP from the middle of last week onwards. One of the reaosn is that I am getting bored of all other shows - YHM and EHT. They have gone towards the 6 month mark and so the logic and entertainment is going away from them.

Has anyone tried Laut Aao Trisha? The concept and story as such no bad , has everything from extra marital affairs , homosexuality to incest. But execution and most actors are bad , just bad. Ejaz Khan and Rajashwari Sachdev have some presence and skill. Even the guy who plays Prateek's (Jai Kalra) brother shows faint promise.
Misti , Angie , you guys like Varun Badola right? He is entering Tumhari Pakhi it seems.

Myra..simple answer to your qn: to be precise the plot is thickening now, getting a bit interesting.

I feel Shlokie boy will have a bigger role to play in the future story. I am still not sure if this is heading towards a women empowerment show or still a love story. As far as I understand Shlok is keeping tabs on Astha now and he is worried for her.

oh..I wanted to add this to all the CB fans in this thread: @Misti, @Angie, @Aruna , @Rekha... and all... I was talking to my Mom the other day ..she is a big FAN of Avinash... she is a hindi serial buff , it seems she watched CB1, CB2 and started watching EBP just for Avi . She says she has never seen such good acting talent till now that too all in one show and fast paced story line. She likes HOT Daddy and ICE queen Smile.

thanks for the answer jia, today i read the wu of ebp.. hmm i will be doing this for few days and try to connect again, i miss avinash thats why.. abt your mother i totally undertand her, i am the same situation as her.. i am watching other shows aswell yet none of the actors are like avinash..

Yeah..Angie, one of these days I feel I should have more than 24 hours 😕...just logged in briefly.
Hopefully I will free up this weekend.

Check page 86 for my comments in this thread about Avi & EBP😛. Shlokie had mellowed down previously...but his EGO, insecurities have kicked in now. Its fun to watch him in his previous Avtar...ie., the kamina, s bit of obnoxious, predator kind of guy 😉. Some how I feel they are moving towards Astha being catalyst and Shlokie having more space now .
Varad's affair story seems to be done quite badly. But at least they are showing Varad as a hypocrite and a person with double standards who takes easy way out and uses people. Not that I have any hopes from these CVs, but hopefully he would not be white washed by Astha. Sid and Jyoti are still dominating the show though they are now the most boring couple.

Varad seems like wants a no strings attached relationship with Mansi now and he is happy with it.
Anyway, for now I am again watching EBP from the middle of last week onwards. One of the reaosn is that I am getting bored of all other shows - YHM and EHT. They have gone towards the 6 month mark and so the logic and entertainment is going away from them.

It is the new movie in Theater... Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania with Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, as leads... I watched a hindi movie in theater after a long time...

To anyone wanting to see quality movie with substance, please try the Special 26 directed by Neeraj Pandhey (but skip the useless romance scenes).. Askshay is great, I like him in these types of roles than the action hero one. Of course Anupam Kher with his superlative performance, credible support by Jimmy Shergill & a fab Manoj Bajpai, a really fab actor unfortunately rarely given role to challenge his acting...

Chithra I decided to maintain a distance from the Trisha show when I got to know that Bhagyashree is going to be in it. By the way at the end I did not try Yudh.I am not a fan of AB and then got to know that Nawazuddin is there only in one episode...so decided to maintain my distance.

As for Varun Badola, he is in Tumhari Pakhi but I am not watching that show. The day I read that Mittals are adapting Saratchandra's Naba Bidhan and making it as Tumhari Pakhi, I decided to maintain my distance from the show.
