The Rs. 100 crore Garbage



A great man had once said - Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one.

Indians have liked Jaws, Titanic and National Treasure and no one has questioned the logic behind the story for any of the scenes. But when a desi director does international quality work, everyone sits up and puts in their two bits of opinion. Here goes my 2 cents too - True blue style !

Exotic locales, world class bike races, mesmerizing underwater scenes, stunning Lara Dutta, visual treats all around, beautiful Bahamas, exhilarating action sequences, gorgeous bikinis...everything pushed the ooomph meter to unprecedented levels. Its a Roller coaster ride, high on adrenaline, with Lara Dutta leaving the viewers asking and gasping for more, and much more.

Back to Reality.

Sanjay Dutt is a sea diver, when he should be farting his way up in the sky like a hot balloon. Zayed Khan, who cannot act for nuts, should not even be admitted to the sets for free. I wish the director had used his pay to bring in more sharks to add some thrill to an otherwise expensive 100 crore trash which feels like watching National Geographic on a Monday night with stand up comedians instead of predator sharks.

Inane direction, bad dialogues, hilarious expressions are all that I can think of. Sharks swim peacefully around, and make you think if they are actually vegetarian. A coveted treasure in the middle of the ocean, whose exact route Sanjay Dutt manages to remember light years later. Non existent script, ridiculous dialogues and lack luster music, the movie started in stle and ended up blowing everybody's mind. Yes. Mindblowing Garbage.

Finally, the movie runs around in circles and ends up ridiculously narrating stories about dead family members and to-be girlfriends turning out to be the wife of a best friend. Not to talk about the accent though, Kylie Minogue would have had a better shot in speaking Hindi than Kats.

Flashy exterior. Garbage inside.
You might want to buy something for your someone special, or might as well as donate money to charity..but watch this at your own risk.
