Dostana Plunges 66% at Box Office
Ugly Dostana – So-So at Box Office

Can someone quickly hand us a long piece of rope so that we may hang Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra together on the nearest tree and spare millions of Bollywood fans further agony from this troika’s simian antics on the screen. Oops, we almost forgot to tighten the noose around the neck of the worst actor in the Milky Way – who else but Buffoon Deol a.k.a. Bobby Deol, who makes a brief appearance in this horror of a flick.

So buddy, make sure the rope is long and strong to hold this quartet high up in the air.

And if we have some extra length left, we’ll hoist Dostana director Tarun Mansukhani and producer Karan ‘pansy’ Johar as well for inflicting this agony upon Bollywood fans.

By god, it’ll be a long time before we can purge our eyes and ears of this horrific nonsense masquerading as a movie.

Chuck & Larry vs Sam & Kunal
We’ve watched I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, which notwithstanding the ugly reviews, we pronounce entertaining and a hilarious riot.

But Dostana is ugly from the getgo.

You build a story carefully, one scene at a time as they do in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.

Two longtime Brooklyn firemen and buddies (Adam Sandler and Kevin James) pretend to be gay because the widower James is confronted with the bureaucratic hassle of naming a beneficiary on his pension form.

But in Dostana two almost strangers Sameer (Abhishek Bachchan plays a male nurse) and Kunal (John Abraham is a photographer) living in Miami suddenly decide to put on the gay act because a lady won’t rent an apartment to two guys because her niece Neha (Priyanka Chopra) is living in the third room.

Such is the garbage heaped on you in Dostana, dear friend. Nothing makes sense in Dostana even in a weird way. Continue reading »

The sick man of Silicon Valley Sun Microsystems is firing 5,000 to 6,000 employees, about 15% to 18% of the ailing company’s global workforce.

We think that’s not enough. Fire all.

As we’ve said on countless occasions, this company has no future.

Pull down the shutters and return the money to shareholders before the coffers dry up.

Sun’s shares were trading around $4 this morning.

Sun expects to incur charges in the range of $500 to $600 million over the Continue reading »

Vaaranam Aayiram – Box Office Disaster

We are convinced Kollywood director Gautam Vasudev Menon must have really loathed his late father.

And Vaaranam Aayiram is Gautam Menon’s remorseless act of revenge on his old man for grievances, real or imagined.

How else can you explain this moron making an interminably long pathetic piece of shit a.k.a. Vaaranam Aayiram and then dedicating the nonsense to his dad.

There’s Forrest Gump and then there’s Cooum Dump oops Vaaranam Aayiram. (Just in case you are not from Tamil Nadu and happened to stumble upon this review, Cooum is that infamous stinking river in the state’s capital Chennai.)

Like director Robert Zemeckis in Forrest Gump, Gautam Menon sets off to tell the story of an ordinary man, actually two ordinary men here, father and son (both played by Surya) but unlike Zemeckis our Menon quickly falls flat on his face and just can’t get up for the rest of the movie.

Oh wait, lest he open himself to charges of stealing Forrest Gump outright, Menon’s thrown some new ingredients into the chamber-plot like bringing in the father angle and the so-called bond between father and son. All are given the amateurish treatment here unlike in that masterpiece Forrest Gump.

If you are the impatient, attention deficit disorder kind of guy demanding instant gratification, here’s a quick review summary of Vaaranam Aayiram - The story is less than gripping, Surya’s acting is so-so, the dialogs inanely banal, the songs soporifically dull and the dances, oh, they are straight from hell.

Bottomline: Boring shit. The audience at Movie City (Edison, NJ) didn’t seem too engrossed and there was constant chitchat and moving about in the hall.

And who do you think takes credit (should actually be discredit) for Continue reading »
