I loved them. But the burning ones were the best! I always read spoilers too. :)<BR/><BR/>Banno - That's a pretty good indication, I agree. And ditto re: generalization and goof-ups. <BR/><BR/>Veracious - Agreed. I didn't think this one was biased, really, so I should give it points for that. As for the Beeb, maybe I can stop by in January and pitch it....<BR/><BR/>Anarchvisit - Let's do it! I know there are many people out there who love Bollywood and Doctor Who, so I'm sure our production team will be a snap to assemble.<BR/><BR/>Amey - I loved that one too :) As for 9 vs 10, I like both, but I find 10 to be a bit much sometimes. I'm not sure if that's the writing or the acting - probably both. <BR/><BR/>Rum - Fair enough! :) He is dreamy in this for sure. Akshaye was my original Fake-Pretend Movie Boyfriend and even with all the Shashi pyaar around here, I'm not blind to his charms. Which are considerable here. Please do stay far away from <I>Kudrat</I>, though. It's so bad, despite his cuteyness (of which I have photographic proof, should you desire).<BR/><BR/>Shweta - Apparently this film took years to make, and his hairstyle kept changing - which I didn't even notice while watching! You'd think I'd be clued in to something important like that :) I think "noble movies gone bad" would be an excellent post topic/group writing assignment. There must be tons of them!<BR/><BR/>Gebruss - Probably not a strong contender for 60s/70s distraction, I concur. If you stumble across it, sure, but don't go looking. I was thinking just now that this review is probably harsher than I really feel - I did enjoy the movie while watching it, but I can't justify it now.<BR/><BR/>The Bolly List - Do it! I want more people to watch this so we can compare thoughts. <BR/><BR/>CanadianKen - Oh good! I'd probably say their performances and pairing are the strongest parts of the film, now that I stop and think about it. I liked their characters, too - young, idealistic, a bit goofy, and very sweet. I have the soundtrack for <I>Love You Hamesha</I> and have always wondered why I couldn't find the film! Now I know. <BR/><BR/>akshayefan - I am woefully behind on my blog reading, but I'll scurry over as soon as I can.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-40541208548617332222008-10-04T02:52:00.001-05:002008-10-04T02:52:00.001-05:00Thanks in advance.Thanks in advance.akshayefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436391850561844858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-91564727281800408972008-10-04T02:52:00.000-05:002008-10-04T02:52:00.000-05:00Beth, I have written at length on your post on my ...Beth, I have written at length on your post on my blog.

Aside from looking marvelous,Akshaye & Sonali made me genuinely care about the characters they played. And I remember being very shocked by their last minute demise. Didn't see it coming. The pair reteamed immediately after for LOVE YOU HAMESHA, a film which was mysteriously shelved. A soundtrack CD did appear (the score's by A.R.Rahman) but the movie remains unseen. A Holy Grail for Akshaye fans who can't get enough of him in his 90's heart-throb mode.CanadianKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240756292929779255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-88303838547249118102008-10-02T20:46:00.000-05:002008-10-02T20:46:00.000-05:00I always like the stupidest movies, so I get the f...I always like the stupidest movies, so I get the feeling I'll enjoy this flick!

Though I would recommend you see Bombay, though I'm not sure exactly how good a commentary it really is. I guess I'm not that invested. I like the topic explored a little, like in Rang De Basanti, though.<BR/><BR/>Dalek: A Burning Passion would be an interesting Dr Who spinoff film!
