Wanted
Unpretentious, unabashed actioner packed with a powerful, in-form, confident Salman Khan! Pleasant surprise! Inspite of a hackneyed, predictable plot and lame supporting actors except for Mahesh Manjrekar, Salman packed a sucker-punch to ensure people stayed glued to their seats. One of my favorite Sallu performances in recent times, especially since he seemed to be enjoying it too! :)Dil Bole Hadippa
WTF! Double WTF! Didnt complete it, but WTF!
Blue
ROFL-fest of the year! Paunchy Sanjay Dutt as scuba-diver! :D aptly referred to as Sethji by a freakishly-goateed Akshay "buffoon" Kumar, who survives a whole 2-day thunderstorm underwater by breathing the air from the tires of the bike he jumped into the middle of the ocean with! Unbelievably howlarious! And some "dialogues of the year":Bikini-clad Lara Dutta to husband paunchy : "You know..mera sapna hai...oceanography institute...jahan pe main marine life pe research kar sakoon" ROFLMAOTICST!!! Yah they have whole institutes for ONE SINGLE "passionate" researcher, especially if shes hot and promises to wear bikinis throughout working hours! :D
Immensely constipated Lara Dutta to immensely busy paunchy during a bullet fight "Discussion karke matter solve nahi kar sakte kya?" :D :D Lady, there's bullets flying around and none else got a "shield" like you (pun totally intended!)
Some jackass cald Rahul Dev to some jackass cald Zayed Khan : "Sawaal yeh nahi hai ke kam hua ke nahi, sawaal ye hai ke agar kam nahi hua hai to main kya karoonga!" WTF.
For more fun, go buy an original Blue DVD! This Blue film's worth watching! :D
Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna
Gah! Boring to the bone!
All the Best
Abandoned after half an hour! I am not in 2nd grade anymore!
London Dreams
Not bad at all although not a patch on Amadeus. Again, Salman Khan outperforms himself! Was he on steroids or something while shooting this and Wanted? Cant believe this same guy played that soporific character in something something Khanna! Awesome songs btw! Couple of my favorites of the year in Barso and Khanabadosh :)
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
Huh! Decent movie with a few good laughs and good work by Ranbir, but whoever compared it to Andaz Apna Apna?? You cant compare M S Dhoni with Sachin Tendulkar! Even if Dhoni starts making more money from commercials!
Invictus
Well-made, well-meaning, well-performed and insightful look into how and why Mandela thought the way he did at the beginning of his Presidential career. Sadly, drags a bit and hence, not very entertaining.
Avatar
Visual orgasm! Cameron is GOD. Following up something like Titanic with something like Avatar is no mean feat. And although the story may not be meatier than a single-layered steak, its substantial and spicy enough to ensure a never-before movie watching experience! Hats off to the vision and the visionary!Sherlock Holmes
Delicious, delectable, crazy in its own way! Guy Ritchie does a Nolan on Holmes franchisee and brings our beloved detective out of his pristine aura, to give more human touches than Doyle could have imagined. Brilliant work by Downey Jr and Jude Law as Watson, but real hero of the movie - Director Guy Ritchie! Probably the best sleuth movie ever!
3 Idiots
Where do I start! Brilliant, at times tacky, at times unoriginal, at times slapstick, at times gimmicky, but still, brilliant! Mr. Hirani, Mr. Chopra, Mr. Khan, Mr. Joshi and Mr. Madhavan - a point well made!
Missed out on quite a few movies, most notably Wake Up Sid and Rocket Singh. Will try to catch up as soon as possible.
Signing off with my lists of the year. Not as comprehensive and as many as last year, since there werent as many bad films this time around, what with Sanjay Gadhvi and Subhash Ghai having no releases :D ...but still, something to chew on :)

u really know how to make up for lost blogging time :)
really nice collection of movies from the past few months. i can not believe Kaminey got screwed over by PAA in so many awards for Star Screen. No chance that Delhi 6 deserved best music over Dev D. No chance that AB in Paa acted better than Shahid! So I wish the next award jury reads ur blog to refresh their memory!
:) Screen awards always suck! but not as much as Filmfare...frankly i like none of these awards...precisely y i prefer to make my own lists :)
