Finally Konnected!!

(whats up with this 'K' ,bollywood and ekta 'k'apoor?? i have never really understood the whole issue behind it and probably never will!)
To tell you the truth, i desperately wanted to open my blog account with something really grand, something out of the box, and quick.But somehow that "something" wasnt shaping up as i wanted it to(lol), so i'd rather start from something that is simple and a lot less complicated. and what better way to start off your innovative campaign than with a film review. sasta aur tikau.

The other day i had gone to watch a film titled "Kismet Konnection". The film's title connected my brain to two things:
1. the internet and i soon realised i had to start writing something for my blog, on the double.
2. the other,and the obvious one, ekta kapoor.not that i could do anything about the 2nd one, i could surely get a head start to the more creative of the two.

The movie was disappointing and so was the "much hyped shahid kapur-vidya balan on/off(take a pick) screen chemistry". The film failed to live upto its expectations even with the music of our plagarism expert none other than you know who. It gives nothing new to us, simply showing how a young and talented architect Raj(apna shahid) fails to get work just because he has run out of luck. Juhi Chawla(what was she thinking??) steps in, doing a short cameo in the film as a fortune teller, and indicates to Raj that his luck is about to change. No prizes for guessing(apni vidya,of course) who enters into his life to change his kismet. Then the ususal hindi bollywood masala goes on endlessly at a snails pace.

A dead story, a not so great performance by shahid especially after Jab We Met, and "plum pudding model(again apni vidya)", a perfect reciepe for well , a FLOP! With that story, the movie should have been over in exactly 45 mins(i timed it). As for the director, THINK before you make a movie!!

My verdict, dont waste your time on this shitload of nonsense.
It gets 1 and a half tequilla shots(no star,no dots,no hearts[lol,yeah right] etc.) on a scale of 5(10 wouldnt have been a bad option,though).

P.S:- The only saving grace, if any, of the film are the supporting actors.The 1 tequilla is due to them and the half for providing me the opportunity to have my popcorn and coke.
