GOD HELP YOU !!
It's been a mad mad week! When isn't it in Bollytastic world??
On Monday, we hooked up for a quick chat with Rani Mukerji, she was rushing inbetween flights from Toronto and Mumbai after her gala showing of DIL BOLE HADDIPA at the Toronto Film Festival. She looked as elegant as ever, but a tad nervous at the pending release, which has been described as her comeback by some.
DBH is up against Rani's former co-star and filmi friend Salman Khan's"WANTED" and you've responsed to our dilemma on Facebook based on what to see first.
It was very heated; die hard Rani fans vs. Sallu Bhai's army.
In the end our cinematic viewing choices were made by theshowtimes. We caught DBH first at Shaftesbury and then hotfooted to Marble Arch to watch WANTED.
Our verdict: DBH is what you'd expect from a Yash Raj Film; ajalebi version of Punjabi tackling women's rights, cross dressing and romance - all the ingredients that could have made a mind blowing entertainer, with just one pinch missing - the ' IT ' factor.
Rani is fantastic, she looks great!! Shahid, despite his thin ankles, is growing more sure of himself and performed well. Rakhi is wasted and Poonam Dhillon is totally underused. Our Message - watch it for Rani!
Listen to the Rani interview again at the link below:
WANTED on the other hand is gory, gusto and an all out no-holds-barred entertainer.
Salman is great and his chemistry with Ayesha Takia Azmi is sizzling.
Prabudeva's direction is spot on and the action sequences are thrilling.It's a fantastic masala movie.
The movie uses all the good old fashioned ingredients from the 80's; the flawed handsome hero, the damsel in distress, hordes of baddies, a vamp, great music and that age old battle between good and evil!
During our marathon movie evening, Farah Khan text us from Mumbai, after we'd congratulated her on the success of her huge TV success with "Tere Mere Beech", we replied to say we were watching both of her films back to back, her response was three words; "GOD HELP YOU!"
