The Amitabh Bachchan-Ben Kingsley starrer Teen Patti is receiving the thumbs down from movie reviewers.

Here are excerpts from a sample of reviews:

Reuters:

“Teen Patti” is a textbook study in how most films slip uncontrollably in the second half and any element of thrill or suspense you may have felt disappears in the chaos of a badly written and executed script.

….The director doesn’t know where to go once the basic plotline is established, letting the characters and the script go helter-skelter. The ending is totally out of line with the script, a lot of questions are left unanswered and at the end of it the stacks of cash start to look repetitive. Some of the dialogues are laughable.

….This is one game that is eminently avoidable.

IBN Live:

[I]t goes wrong horribly towards the end. Such big money and great actors are not put to optimum use, thanks to a flawed script. Continue reading »

Goat-fucking idiots! Offspring of lunatic donkeys! Shameless eunuchs from somewhere.
- the drunks yelling in the beggar-van in Rohinton Mistry’s tour de force A Fine Balance P.323

Thank God, fictional drunks can’t watch Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa.

For if they did, the tipplers wouldn’t hesitate one nanosecond before unleashing the same vitriolic barrage at (mis)director Gautam Menon and the twin midgets in his menagerie i.e. Simbhu and Trisha, besides hurling a few more choice epithets at these offenders.

Boring Shit

Is there any one among you that can answer this question – How did this Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa abortion come to be made and how did it get to be released in theaters?

Since you schmucks can’t answer that, here’s our hypothesis: Some Stalin or Grimalkin had more money than it knew what to do with and the end-result was this boring shit called Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa.

If you go by the credits, Gautham Menon has also penned the story for this grossly underwhelming movie.

Yet another unimaginative, trite love story, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa offers little charm to the audience.

Same old boy sees girl, falls head-over-heels in love drivel. And as y’all know the course of true love never does run smooth in Indian films and opposition invariably comes by way of the stubborn father and the different religions of the lovers.

That’s all there’s to this junk. Really, guys.

And we yawned through the ennui for 2 hours and 30-minutes.

To think that this Menon fella has been making movies for a decade and this shitty script is all he can come up with?

Sad.

Depressing Acting

Simbhu or Vombhu or wateva name this Little Supershit is known by is no great shakes as an actor.

We saw him earlier in Vallavan and tonight in this abortion. Continue reading »
