Personally, I could've done without his tribute to paan in the movie, though. <BR/>I loved Zeenat Aman's million wigs and hairdos (it was so funny in the graveyard scene with her stunt double wearing a nasty wig and looking so obviously like a MAN - no wonder they made Zeenat wear that pantsuit - nice try, didn't work). <BR/>I also loved the way Zeenat said the word 'Don', there was just something weird about it.<BR/>Beth, I visited this blog months ago when you were just getting into Bollywood, and I feel like a proud father, seeing how far you've come now. Wow! You really do love Bollywood...<BR/>And so do I, please check out my Bollywood-related blog: www.ilovelovelovedharmendra.blogspot.com.<BR/><BR/>PS I love your stuff, keep blogging<BR/>PSS Will definitely be taking up your SRK challenge for his birthday...

There should totally be a...ggop - Ah yes, Macgyver. There should totally be an Indian Macgyver. Maybe there already is! And no, the only Rajnikanth I've seen is that breakdancing clip that's been circulating lately. But someone emailed me all about some of his finer action sequences - my favorite is throwing a knife at a bullet in order to split it and two and send all three projectiles into the three bad guys. I'm not sure I could handle it. But an A for creativity, definitely.<BR/><BR/>Velu - do you really think Priyanka is good actress - not just tolerable, but actually good? I understand thinking she's cute and all, but.... I love Ash because in the roles I've seen her do, she was appropriately feisty, and I think she can be quite funny. I like Kareena - varying on the movie of course - because when she's good, I believe her. When she's bad, I believe she's on crack or something.<BR/><BR/>Sharon - exactly. Yeah, <I>Krrish</I> was really bad for her - not that it gave her much to do, but still...blech. I did still like that movie a lot, though - all Hrithik all the time! Oooh...just thinking about Hrithik makes me want to watch the straightjacket dance from <I>Lakshya</I>....<BR/><BR/>Oh lord, those are bad lyrics.
