When I first saw the poster in a website, I thought, yet another train heist
Read the cast list; Dharmendra and Vinay Pathak sounded good, but who the hell was this Neil Nitin Mukesh and Rimi Sen….isnt she the one who had to paint her house in ridiculously tiny clothes in Dhoom?
I did not know what to expect; was this another B grader from bollywood or it really had some dum?
But with the Bling bling posters which focused on a jarring blue or yellow or a pair of red tinted glasses and I knew, this flick had to be stylish
And what a flick it was!
I watched the movie recently carefully avoiding all reviews…and I can say….i was entertained!
It works on a lot of levels, that awesome 70s credits (it would look passé in a 70s movie, but here it looks highly stylish!), the soundtrack to which a friend drives his car upside down (thalai kkeezha ottuvan!!!), a calm and restrained Dharmendra (I just hope they use him as an alternative to Big B who has gone from bad to worse of late), a slightly rotund but brilliant Vinay Pathak and Zakir Hussain; is outstanding! (the way he goes “ey beauty parlour, sambal isko!!!...lol!!!)...and who the hell is that guy???...That leading man…Neil Mukesh
Apparently he is the grandson of the legendary Mukesh and thank god he decided not to wield the microphone like his grand dad…We would have been robbed of such gorgeous eye candy. Seriously, it could have been Johnny Gorgeous (if the word wasn’t so girly!). If you thought this was a review (and now the movie has been much reviewed!), you might be disappointed because I took some time and this space out on my blog just to drool over this chap…who just might be the sexiest thing to have hit Bollywood of late (which is after Milind Soman…chiseled!...and that was long long ago) Yeah sure he does look a bit like those chocolate boys, but this one’s dark chocolate…wicked aint it?!
And what with khandani crap that Bollywood keeps dishing out; the likes of Fardeen i-got-too-fat Khan, Zayed can’t-act-to-save-my-life Khan, Ranbir Kapoor (he looks more roman than punju…seriously he is way too chikna!)….even Hrithik Roshan, yeah that man would have been burning hot but for his nostrils!...Yeah Mukesh jr here too has that slight resemblance to Hrithik thanks to his nostrils, but they’re more subtle here and don’t bother you too much ;)
But this god is leaner and meaner…in the first half I thought this guy can’t act…or may be can’t act with another director, but in the second half (*Spoiler* “Aap Shardul ke paas kyun nahi gaye???”) this dark chocolate gets yummier :D
I cant believe I could drool at a guy in a shirt with a large collar and a sleeveless sweater!...or in a red shirt (especially when he thinks most of his shirt buttons are pretty useless…not that am complaining!!!) or a crazy hair do which belongs more to the early 90s era aka the ‘kraapu thalai’...and did I mention that 'kadukan'...sesky!

P.S: Verdict, go watch this movie if you want some class!...BTW that bludy no good channel Zoom that my sis is fond of ruined it for me by almost giving away the ending

P.S.S: I have drooled enough now much to the chagrin of someone and I am going to need all of Chennai’s fire department’s help to put out the fire raging in someone’s tummy :D
