All sunshine makes a desert

My top five not in order:

1. Jodhaa Akbar (Hrithik Roshan & Aishwariya with  a decent storyline, need I say more…)
2. Black  & White (surprisingly good, Anil Kapoor is impressive)
3. Singh is Kinng (loved this thoroughly!!, silly but good)
4. Bachna Ae Haseeno (ok a little bit embarrassed to admit this.. but after the first cringeworthy 30 minutes it does get better, and yeah enjoyed it!)
5. Am going to reserve for the soon to be released Ghajini… Aamir Khan rarely fails to impress

Worth watching: 

 
• Dostana (Abishek Bacchan very believable, a good comedy, a few too many gratuitous shots of John Abraham’s chest, and watch out for the butt shot, also Bobby Deol not too bad in this)
• Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (cute film with good music)
• Krazzy 4 (comedy, Arshad Warsi is good)
• Heroes (love Preity Zinta, hope she makes some more movies soon, wonder if Sunny Deol has super human strength in real life!! )
• Sunday (am becoming an Ayesha Takia fan, she is quite good)
• Tashan (lots of tacky moments, but also some great action scenes and fun to watch)

Some movies that want to see but have not yet:  Mission Istanbul, Kidnap and Rock On.  

Movies that really looked forward to in 2008 but failed to impress: 

• Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (ok loved the first half of the movie refreshing to see Shah Rukh Khan laugh at himself, but the 2nd half diverted back to the usual stodgy, male stereotypical, predictable stale stuff)
• Yuvraaj (sooo boring, only good thing in it is Anil Kapoor who is brilliant and believable, and the beautiful Katrina Kaif, cannot think of one Salmaan Khan movie in which he acted well so  this was no suprise)
• U, Me Aur Hum (love Kajol but this movie was a waste of her talent, there are some touching moments however quite irritating overall)
• Kismat Konnection (hmm fell asleep  with eyes wide open 40 minutes into the movie, overhyped, good actors but  a tepid and slooow storyline, what a waste of time!!)
• God Tussi Great Ho ( mediocre!)
• Drona (bad fantasy sci-fi, could not be bothered to watch the entire film, almost as bad as KK)
• Love Story 2050 ( am a big sci-fi fan, this is better than Drona, there are some great visual effects, and some good bits, but could have been much better, Priyanka Chopra is not bad, the pink teddy as her maid does not quite work)

  Some past favourites in recent years,  not in order of preference: 

• Namaste London
• Water (touching and worth watching)
• Taare Zameen Par
• Om Shanti Om
• Aaja Nachle (favourite Madhuri Dixit movie, she just gets better, hope she makes some more soon!!)
• Rang De Basanti
• Fanaa
