Kidnap the Drona

Last weekend for me was one of those times when you watch movies just for the heck of it without caring for the reviews and for some very strong source of motivation. What else do you think could be my reason to watch Kidnap and Drona in 2 days? But that doesn't stop me from writing a review myself. Kidnap inspires every girl to give time to her looks..well if Minisha Lamba can look super-hot even when she is kidnapped especially by ensuring that her clothes are kidnapped too. Also it inspires every mom to look younger and hotter than her daughter. The loudness of the exposure started embarrasing the guys in the theatre after a while which I think was deliberate on the the part of the director to teach the young guys a lesson on respecting women.
Drona very successfully impresses the audience with the notion that a superhero can be weak too, weaker than cindrella. Abhiskek has (not) worked out day and night to fit into the role of Drona who many times almost seemed to be ready for rona dhona. Also the climax clearly shows the clout which Bacchan's have on Goldi Behl. During the shoot of last scene, Abhishek notices Kay-2 Menon's eye color and wants the same for himself and so drona becomes dracula in the end.
My interest to write on such movies surprises me and I can write more but it will be an absolute assault to an innocent reader who has seen both the movies over the weekend, though I doubt the existence of one.
Nevertheless my weekend was fantastic, fabulous, lovely and the best. :)

Unconditional love :P

I have never been a great fan of comedy movies (Bollywood, in particular). However, after watching Om Shaanti Om and Welcome in theatre, I gave positive reviews to some friends who believed in my good taste for movies. I did'nt find it unusual since I found some SRK fans and some "we went to see deepika/Katrina types" people who agreed with me.
But I became aware of my newly found love for watching no-sense, substandard comedy movies on big screen with the release of TASHAN. I could'nt find a single person to agree with me. Even a size-zero Kareena failed to charm the guys. And all my efforts to argue on the entertainment value of the movie were met with "Nandu's motorboat :O" kind of reactions. But I enjoyed it. Perhaps, thats what an unconditional love is! (I went to the extent of imagining that the money-sucking multiplex-owners bribed the reviewers to poison the viewers' minds.)
I believe the cause of this unreasonable love lies in my state of mind at the time of watching the movie.(while writing this post, i realized that I thought of Tashan as a comedy movie). I don't think I could have possibly liked this movie on comp. It is similar to the situation when we find a moment particularly funny but fail to reproduce the effect when we narrate it to someone else since the place, time and moods are different.
I guess when mind is free of expectations and the intention is to have fun at any cost (of course here the cost is the people who are ever going to believe in my movie reviews), no entertainment is bad entertainment.
