As the A-List of Bollywood flock to the premiere. Besides the cast of the movie, most of Bollywood’s old families were there, including Hrithik Roshan, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Akshaye Khanna, Kangana Ranaut, Diya Mirza, Lara Dutta, Sridevi, Boney Kapoor, Amisha Patel, Sushmita Sen, Soha Ali Khan and Siddharth.
Guess who wasn’t there? Obviously the cast of Om Shanti Om, who were a bit too busy getting ready for their own premiere. Too have a looksy as all the stars, click here. Awww, don’t they all look pretty. It’s like a wedding…without the yummy food and no one is getting screwed for life. Just joking…I love weddings. I’m not sure if I want to be the one getting married just yet though.
The storyline…which wasn’t particularly clear before sounds a bit Romeo and Juliet-esque to me. Like the star-crossed lovers and madness stemming from rejection. At least they didn’t kill themselves…I hope they didn’t do that. I hate sad movies.
Fun fact: Saif and Kareena were holding on for dear life…and Shahid was there too.

Quick. Does someone have a gun? Shoot me in the head for going to see this movie (in a movie theater, no less), for being fooled because it was a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. This movie is an abortion.
Bhansali’s obsession with sets has gone overboard with this one. The setting is supposed to be India, I guess, but the sets look not only total fakes, but are unreal. They look like the setting is in some dingy corner of Venice, with gondolas going back and forth. Totally impossible to relate to. And then the interminable songs, every two minutes, it seems like. With ten of them and with many of them being out of context, this film is a throwback to the dismal eighties trash. The only bright point of the movie was Rani Mukherjee. Acting and quality went up ten notches every time she came on. She made it seem so natural and easy and showed up the two neophytes for what they are. Not that the two were terrible, they were just ordinary and Sonam more ordinary than Ranbir. And Rani was playing a prostitute, wearing $500 sarees, and the red light district, which is where the entire story took place, looked like a spiffy place to live. The other prostitutes looked like women you would want to chat with. Have you ever visited Kamathipura, and seen what it and its whore inhabitants really look like? They’ll make you freeze.
Bhansali has now become a wannabe Yash Raj type movie-maker, and doesn’t have a clue how to do it. Someone please tell him to take some reality pills and put us movie-goers out of misery by never making a movie again.
