God Exists: Trashy Kurbaan Trashed at Box Office

 Bollywood, Box Office  8 Responses »

Folks, God Exists. God Exists!

No kidding.

In the name of Allah, the Holy Father and Lord Ram, we swear we saw it/him/her today in the form of Kurbaan’s awful box office numbers.

Now, if this isn’t God’s work tell us what is.

Karan Johar’s pathetic piece of shit Kurbaan has fared pitifully at the U.S. box office.

Horror of horrors, Kurbaan has done worse than New York, that other terrorist-centered Bollywood movie.

One of the most high-profile movies to come out of the Bollywood cesspool in recent months, Kurbaan had a surfeit of publicity thanks to the movie’s principal stars shedding their clothes.

But even all the semi-nudity couldn’t fool the people who quickly saw through the con-game of Kurbaan’s producer (Karan Johar), director (Renzil D’Silva) and cast (Saifeena) -  they were peddling dross dressed up as gold.

In its opening weekend November 20-22, 2009 at the U.S. box office, Kurbaan, which released in 83 theatres in the U.S., grossed a measly $403,678.

Guys, Kurbaan’s opening weekend numbers are less than New York, less than Dostana, less than Chandni Chowk to China, less than Delhi 6 and just one-fourth of Love Aaj Kal.

Of course, it’s to be expected. Kareena Kapoor is a jonah, the kiss of death for a movie.

Utterly worthless when clothed, Kareena Kapoor is insufferable when clotheless. What a disgusting actress.

As for Saif Ali Khan, the bozo went through the movie with one-expression pasted to his face.

Trash begets trash, right na.

Kurbaan came in No-20 at the box office and had an average gross of $4,864. By the way, the average gross for Kurbaan was less than the average gross for junk like Bhoothnath, Krazzy4, Heroes, Dil Bole Hadippa et al.

Hell, even Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, featuring two kids Imran khan and Genelia D’Souza’ had an average gross of $6,218.

Here’s how Kurbaan fared at the U.S. box office compared to a few other movies that Karan Johar has been involved with. Compared to Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Kal Ho Naa Ho, Kurbaan is a disaster. Now, see for yourself:

Make no mistake.

Karan Johar is just another overrated Bollywood pansy. And it shows in the poor quality of his movies.

For all those who haven’t seen Kurbaan yet, stay away from this compost-heap Continue reading »

As all but the schmucks know, one of the most anticipated movies this holiday season is James ‘Titanic’ Cameron’s sci-fi film Avatar.

With Avatar set to release in theatres December 18, we were surprised to read in the Wall Street Journal the other day that 30 minutes of the 150-minutes-160-minutes movie still remains incomplete.

Here’s an excerpt from the WSJ piece:

Less than a month before the scheduled release of James Cameron’s new movie, “Avatar,” some scenes from the costly special-effects extravaganza remain unfinished. Continue reading »

(This one is for our U.S. readers)

Folks, with all the unceasing talk of recession, 10.2% unemployment, the tightwad consumer et al one would have thought the Black Friday deals this year would be super-attractive.

Alas, no. At least, not for us.

Anyway, if you are the kind that likes to brave the chill and head out on Friday here are a few nice deals:

TomTom ONE 125 SE – $59 at Wal-mart ($165 at Amazon today)

* 3.5 inch touchscreen in a slim, lightweight device;
* Preloaded maps of the US;
* Spoken instructions, including “text to speech” for spoken street names;
* Preloaded Points of Interest: millions of points of interest enhance the travelling experience and help users easily find gas stations, hotels, restaurants and more;
* Fold and Go EasyPort Mount that folds to fit in any bag or shirt pocket.

And to think we paid $400 or $450 for our Garmin a few years back. :( Continue reading »

Kurbaan Review – You are the Sacrificial Lamb, Sucker

God Exists: Trashy Kurbaan Trashed at Box Office 

Folks, if you are the sort that get your jollies by sacrificing yourself on the altar of crappy Bollywood films by all means watch this garbage called Kurbaan.

For 2 hours and 40 minutes, we looked hard for any redeeming elements in Kurbaan but came a cropper.

Zilch. Nada. Nichts.

Centered around a bunch of Muslim terrorists plotting a terror attack in the U.S., Kurbaan is not merely a no-thrills non-thriller but overall a piece of amateurish shit that has no business being released in theaters anywhere.

The Short of It
Take the worst elements of Bollywood movies like Fanaa and New York, deduct all the thrills from Hollywood films like Arlington Road, throw in that anorexic, worthless actress Kareena Kapoor, add that one-expression-all-through-the-movie Saif Ali Khan and bring in the constipated maid-fucker Om Puri, voila, there you have this vile trash a.k.a. Kurbaan.

Hey, if there’s any remotely credible act of terrorism in Kurbaan, it’s what Karan Johar (credited with this sophomoric story) and the lobotomized cast of this junk unleash on unsuspecting members of the audience.

An Adharma Production
Peppered with cliched dialogs (did you think of me last night, are you afraid of your feelings for me), infested with badass actors (foremost among them Kareena Kapoor) and littered with illogical elements (far too many, hello, has anyone heard of 911), Kurbaan is an unforgivable, insufferable act of adharma (injustice).

Kurbaan is Disappointing, say Critics

God Exists: Trashy Kurbaan Trashed at Box Office

Kurbaan, the Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor film that has terrorism as its central theme, has not found favor with some of the prominent Indian movie critics.

Here’s what a gaggle of critics in India has to say on Kurbaan:

* SearchIndia.com

Take the worst elements of Bollywood movies like Fanaa and New York, deduct all the thrills from Hollywood films like Arlington Road, throw in that anorexic, worthless actress Kareena Kapoor, add that one-expression-all-through-the-movie Saif Ali Khan and bring in the constipated maid-fucker Om Puri, voila, there you have this vile trash a.k.a. Kurbaan.

Hey, if there’s any remotely credible act of terrorism in Kurbaan, it’s what Karan Johar (credited with this sophomoric story) and the lobotomized cast of this junk unleash on unsuspecting members of the audience.

* NDTV

The film has ambition but it is too flawed and simplistic to explore issues like religion, violence and the politics of terrorism with any conviction or gravitas.

….Kurbaan is a disappointment.

* DNA

You are not quite sure after watching Kurbaan what exactly the motive behind making the film is. Was it designed to be a thriller? Then, in the almost 2hrs and 40minutes of its running time, it’s too long at dips at various points to be able to thrill you enough.

Was it supposed to be a love story? Then it fails on that count because the ‘lovers’ in the film come across as shallow. Was the film supposed to be a comment on global terrorism? Then it’s a haphazard one, raising questions (old ones at that) and not bothering to give any answers.

Actually, Kurbaan is a mish-mash of all of the above, and with a seduction scene and ‘main badla loonga’ angle thrown in, reminds one of the formulaic films made in the 80s. Continue reading »
