Sushmita Mukerjee is irratating.


Her portions in the movie were a total waste of time. Her presence made the movie longer and prevented the story from beginning.

reply

I felt her role was somewhat needed. It showed their interest in the apartment and not Priyanka. Also it was why they had to fake being couple, all of her lines set-up the main story of them being closeted straight men!

reply

She was okay I guess. But I felt that maybe someone else could have played her role. Anyway I wish I could have seen the shooting for this movie. It would have been great.

reply

That would be nice, especially for me, seeing more of John Abraham in those tiny boxers. Okay, sorry if I just grossed you out, but he is totally doable!

reply

I'm sure that many woman would love to see Abraham in boxers. I think he has a fan club too. I thought he was better than Abhishek in the movie.

reply

I don't like Abhishek much! John definitely carried the movie better.

reply

What was with Abhishek's multi colored scarfs. They were so bad. He kept changing one in every scene.

reply

He looked so gay, like really, what guy would do that? He wrapped them around his neck even! And had the nerve to pair them with neon shirts! He never did say it was to play on the gay situation. So... it was freaky!

reply

I don't know. But maybe it's a 'Indian thing'. I will have to find out. I bet it doesn't attract the opposite sex !!. Did he seriously think Priyanka was going to come on to him with that dress sense ?.

reply

I hope not! They do wear tunics but they may call them something else. The only problem was his scarfs were glittery and bright!

reply

That apartment the three of them were staying in was cool.

reply

Oh yes! the glass windows with the view! It makes me want to go to Miami right now. The whole movie is just really cool, this is why I am excited for 'Dostana 2'..Im hoping for a 2011 release! *knock on wood, fingers crosses*

reply

It is very warm in Miami. It's too crowded. The rich stay rich and the poor stay poor. But dostana 2 should be good. I hope it better than the first one too. Don 2 will release next year. Have you seen the first one ?.

reply

Dostana is my favortie! I have seen more than once, too many to keep count! I love John and Priyanka as actors; Karan Johar as well.
It is like that generally everywhere. But where I am from, everyone likes to give back and help the community. I live in a small town, I do wish I could live in a big city. But perhaps not, because like you said, everyone is pretty much on their own in those type of cities!

reply

You've seen it many times ?. I've only watched it twice. But the performances are good and the mother character is hillarious. The big city life is okay sometimes but can be stressful occasional.

reply

I bet! Big cities make for great movie locations! I've seen it many times.. sometimes not all the way through, just parts I like!
The mother must make a comeback!

reply

Big cities do have it's advantages. It's more convenient to search for work and a great mixture of cultures. But the mother should be back in the sequel I hope.

reply

She better have.. I am hearing Priyanka won't be in this, but it could be rumors as it was said in 2009. Katrina Kaif was supposedly taking the lead.. but that sounds impossible, i've never heard her mention this.

reply

I hope that is just a rumor because if Katrina will star in the sequel I will go on a hunger strike !!!

reply

I will join you! It will be a disaster...and what is she doing making movies with Ashkay, I haven't seen them. I heard they were a disaster!

reply

Katrina appears to have a hit pairing with Akki since 2006. I assume the audience enjoy watching them together. That is why they have done so many movies together. She looks good but her acting is average.

reply

Yeah, the only movie I'd seen her in is 'New York'.. I have watched previews of her other movies, they don't seem too good. Ashkay is a so-so actor, only makes a one good movie every few years.

reply

Akshay Kumar does not be part of good movies any longer. There were times in the past when he did good quality cinema and serious roles. But I hope Katrina will do better cinema soon.

Anyway, Happy new year to you. Did you have a good new years eve ?.

reply

Thanks for asking! Yes, I did..now I need to recover ;)

how was yours?

reply

I had a good new years. Thanks for asking. I went out and danced the night away. I didn't go to sleep until 3am.

reply

3 am? I do that on a daily! But sounds like you had fun.. atleast you got to dance! are you a good dancer? just wondering:)

reply

So you work till 3am ?. Jeez !!. Well I've been inspired a lot from movie dance sequences. But I'm not too bad. How about you ?. How are your dancing abilities ?. Seen any new movies lately ?.

reply

No, most of the time I just get sleepy around 3am...I'm an night owl, it's not from partying or anything like that. I simply can't sleep at times. As for dancing, I'd like to think I am a good dancer. Some of my family members have caught me dancing to my ipod music... and complimented me on my "dancing"... I enjoy dancing...alone..for now.

I've recentely watched a thriller/horror 'Case 39'.. not as great as I thought it would be. And 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' it's an okay romantic comedy movie.. with Preity Zinta and SRK. Fianlly, I got to see 'Black Swan'... very impressionable movie, I must say!

reply

I get that from time to time as well. Sometimes it is difficult to sleep because there can be so many thoughts in the head and thinking about tomorrow. When I get that I just drink a glass of warm milk. It really helps.

Well I've never been caught dancing. But if I did, I would be embarrassed for a few seconds at least.

What is 'case 39' and 'black swan' like ?. Natalie Portman is getting a lot of releases this year.

reply

Both 'case 39' and 'black swan' are somewhat, disturbing... let's just say with both you don't know what you're up for until they show it! Yes, I like Natalie Portman, I'm not sure about her new releases, i'm not fond of the new movie she has with Ashton Kutcher 'friends with benefits'

reply

I guess the movies have surprise elements in them. There must be more to the plot than meets the eye. Portman also has another movie out where she is playing a stepmom. Jeez she isn't that old yet !!

reply

Wow! But it isn't too far-fetched, it happens. Is the movie a comedy, drama, thriller?

reply

The movie is titled 'love and other impossible pursuits'. It looks good. It appears to be a drama. I think she will most probably get a oscar for this year.

reply

Do you think she'll get it for the role of the new movie or Black Swan?
Her film roles are maturing... good for her! I love dark movies at times.

reply

Definitely 'Black swan'. The role is more challenging. It's good to know she is getting more movies finally. Her career was running flat sometime ago.

reply

true. she 's been a favorite of mine since star wars and v for vendetta. I'm. sure to that she'll score big this year! Have you seen black swan? Black swan is the only movie I've seen.this year to get Oscar buzz. I want to see 170 hrs. (I hope that's the correct title ) with James Franco.

reply

No I haven't seen black swan as yet. But I'm very eager to see it. Have you seen the movie '11.14' and 'Go' ?. They are my favorite. I just love movies like that. '170 hours' looks good too. Just watched 'vampires 1998' on vhs again. This was the third time I watched it. I just love james woods.

reply

I have never heard of those movies.. I will check them out! James Woods, I believe he is on a show, some sort of law show I used to watch but I don't think it airs on television anymore.

reply

The show is tilted 'Shark'. It was good. I used to watch a few episodes. So have you caught any good movies lately ?. Which show would you suggest for getting the latest updates on tinsel town ?.

reply

I've just been getting old movies from my library... but if you love classic movies i'd give 'Queen Bee' a chance... it's good! But I am hoping to see some new movies like 'the Social Network' about the creators of Facebook, also 'Wall Street 2'
Hmm, well for the latest on tinsel town aka Hollywood , right? I watch late night shows like David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel and Jay Leno; that often have interviews with Hollywood actors and musicians. Also, Extra!, E! or even Access Hollywood is good, as well as The Scoop. For a show about Hollywood, I think 'Entourage' is one, I don't watch it but many of my friends do and they love it.

reply

I know those shows. But sometimes it's difficult to know which give real info. But Letterman is hilarious. I wish I could be straight up like him. But he has a reputation so I guess most celebrities don't mind him being personal.
I like 'E' too. They have the latest scoops.
