WTF??!?
There. That’s my whole review of this movie. WTF?!?
I mean what the hell is going on with this movie? The whole thing sounds like a moral science lecture. Start to finish. This entire movie is a Moral Science revision lesson from 6th standard.
This movie makes no sense at all. At any level. So this Abhisekh Bacchan comes to New Delhi from New York to help his Granny die. Oh yes, that’s not a typo. He brings her to Delhi to die. But what I can’t understand is how the hell does Abhisekh Bacchan get so many days leave from his job? Then again, maybe he’s a banker and just got laid off. Recession and all.
The director of this movie must have been at a party and someone told him about symbolism and metaphors. And an epic sense of realization came over him – “You mean we can show a pigeon that can’t fly and people will think it represents the middle-class girl who can’t fly into the real world? That’s just abso-frinkin-lutely brilliant!”
And so, after getting high on this new gyaan that dawned on him, he’s just created a movie with one metaphor after another, trying desperately to tie them together. And has failed spectacularly.
I mean, there are more metaphors in this movie than item-number-babes in Bollywood The Kala Bandar as a metaphor for the darkness in our hearts, the Ram Leela as a metaphor for … errr… for the destiny of our lives? Then the dark alleys of Delhi -6 as a metaphor for the total lack of regulation in the electricity sector in India? Ridiculous. The only metaphor that made sense to me was the depiction of the burning tree, which seems to symbolize this frickin movie itself that is going to burn and go up in flames, taking the producers’ money with it.
That’s a metaphor that the producer is going to remember for a long long time. The rest of us should forget this meta-disaster immediately.
Wow!
But…
Still better than Billu Barber.
Why do you even watch these movies then? You’re only putting yourself through torture…:P
(and don’t say because you were forced to, because that is not an acceptable reason.
)
> and don’t say because you were forced to, because that is not an acceptable reason.
Oh, but it is the reason! This is the great tragedy of my life!
Oh, but it is the reason!
So even before the movie started, you must have been like “WTF!”
Hahhaha!! I so truly feel the same way. This movie has just snatched 3 hours of my life and I shall always regret that I won’t be getting them back. I guess you missed out on “Abhishek doing unlimited Motorola promotion” throughout the damn movie.
Dude, I beg to differ.
I loved the movie, maybe it was the Delhi backdrop, maybe it was the strong symbolism…I don’t know, but I was so overwhelmed in the end that I would rate it 5 o 5.
Well, I’m sure its a good movie. But you must realize, Movies and I have a dark, violent past, and any peace process between us is doomed to hopelessness.

My Dear Sir,
I do not appreciate your implication that I am a closet-movie lover. It is wrong to be inside the closet, because well, you do weird things in the closet.
I live out in the open, expressly hating my movies and being proud about it. If you, on the other hand, are in the closet, I highly recommend you come out of it. Society is more accepting these days.
Sincerely,
Aditya Kulkarni
The most boring WTF movie of the century.. it wasnt as deep as u give credit ..
“This is the great tragedy of my life!”
Oh how unfortunate you must be- being ‘forced’ to watch movies! The horror!
So how does she do it? Does she keep your eyes open with toothpicks and masking tape or are the ways of Tom and Jerry passe?
(admit it, you love watching these movies, if only because you get to crib about it later on…)
OMG! I just watched it today. And I so totally agree! I want my money back! Why cant movie makers make movies with money back guarantee!!
