Welcome

Well christmas was a time for let downs for us. After Saawariya came another one and this was the movie Welcome. A slapstick comedy that made me cry. We watched it with family and our uncle who usually finds pjs funny had trouble laughing here too. The script was very weak. The lineup was great with Anil, Nana , Akshay and Paresh but what a waste of their talents. Katrina was just there for the songs. From the promos it looked promising but did not live up to it.

Another 2 and 1/2 stars and can be easily missed too.

Saawariya

After the heavy criticism of this movie from friends and family, we finally managed to watch this movie. Well what I can say is that they were not wrong. I was very disappointed with SLB. I usually like his movies but this was a let down. It is supposed to be one of the most expensive movies made and yes the money has been spent on the sets. But unfortunately the set looks very fake and not at all impressive. Ranbeer and sonam were not so bad. But the constant giggling of sonam was sometimes driving me crazy. Rani mukherjee over acted. Sallu was the only one I could tolerate although he was only for 10 min or so. SLB supposedly had worked hard to make ranbeen and sonam look like raj kapoor and nargis but still it failed to impress.

Overall a 2 and 1/2 stars can be easily missed.
