JBJ

Saw Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (half today and half yesterday) and actually liked it. Yes, strange coz it has AB Jr. Everyone I know has hated it. Trying to figure out why and this is what I get ...
-Doesn't drag along
-Not the same old plot (though fairly predictable)
-Not too mushy and not too comic
-And the important 'across-the-border romance' angle

Certainly a 'one-time must-watch' - maybe even a 'can-watch more than once'

Update: I forgot to mention that AB Jr tries to act & in the process overdoes it

me too have watched many movies of late, will post on it, also was thinking of watching JBJ, will probably see it coming week end. i read an interesting trivia about the movie, tht amitabh is wearing the same leather boots in this movie, which he did in shehenshah a long time back!!

@pat - yes, but his attire overall is pathetic .. do watch the movie - i am eager to find the 2nd person who has liked the movie :D

There are polarizing views about the movie. I know people who hated it and people who more than "just liked" the movie.:-)
I wasnt going to watch the movie after seeing Big B in that avatar. But maybe I should now. :)

Even in the blogosphere there were contrasting reviews.

I saw it today, thought the first half was slow but the second half was a lot better. It definetly is, as u said, a one time watch.

@pat - good u saw it
and i have seen bheja fry quite sometime back - was different and nice, but i think it was too much for me to digest :D - guess I appreciate the routine "bollywood filmy stuff" more
