We are Family: Ohhh, We are a Box Office Disaster

We are Happy. :lol:

You wanna know why?

Because chutiya Bollywood film We are Family has right royally been buggered at the box office.

The U.S. box office that is.

Shitty Performance at BO
In the September 3-5, 2010 opening weekend, We are Family could not even do $300,000 at the U.S. box office.

All that this shitty film could manage was a terribly low $296,907.

But then We are Family’s poor box office performance is hardly surprising considering how bad the movie was and the negative reviews it garnered both in India and the U.S.

This trashy movie was unworthy of being released on the big screen. Maybe, at Kajol’s private baby-shower party but definitely not in theaters. ;)

Folks, as the wise souls at SearchIndia.com said in their exemplary review of this piece of trash:

Not so much a movie as cow-dung flung on the screen, We Are Family suffers from intolerably hideous acting, incomprehensibly awful screenplay and insanely bad music….

Guys/Gals, if you take a soldering iron to your balls or boobs you’re likely to inflict less pain on yourself compared to watching this piece of shit called We are Family.

Here see for yourself in the below table how badly We are Family has fared in the September 3-5, 2010 opening weekend: Continue reading »

We are Family Review – Disgustingly Bad

We are Family: Ohhh, We are a Box Office Disaster

There are bad Bollywood movies.

Then there are very bad Bollywood movies.

Finally, there are the disgustingly, terribly bad Bollywood movies like We are Family (Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal) that are unworthy of even being screened in theaters.

Surely, a special place is reserved in hell for the Shaitans (makers and cast) involved with the Karan Johar produced We Are Family.

Not so much a movie as cow-dung flung on the screen, We Are Family suffers from intolerably hideous acting, incomprehensibly awful screenplay and insanely bad music.

That we managed to come out of the movie-hall with our sanity intact after sitting through this nightmare is nothing short of a miracle.

Pitiful Remake of Stepmom
As all but the schmucks know by now, We are Family is a remake of the 1998 Hollywood film Stepmom (featuring the peerless Susan Sarandon and Pretty Woman Julia Roberts).

Stepmom is hardly a masterpiece and yet it’s a million times more watchable than We are Family. Continue reading »

We are Family Review – Disgustingly Bad

Folks, our hopes have been dashed on the altar of Bollywood’s  incompetence.

Here we were fondly hoping that this weekend would be a joyous affair but, alas, man proposes, Bollywood disposes.

Several Indian critics have buggered the latest Karan Johar production We are Family (directed by Sidharth Malhotra).

Shallow, Stay Away, Yawn-Inducing, Disappointing Tearjerker are only some of the missiles critics have hurled at this Kajol-Kareena Kapoor starrer.

Of course, the critics may have a good thing or two to say about the movie but the bottom line -We are Family is We are Garbage.

By the way, We are Family is a remake of the Hollywood flick Stepmom (Susan Sarandon, Julia Roberts).

Read what a sample of critics had to say about We are Family:

SearchIndia.com:

Not so much a movie as cow-dung flung on the screen, We are Family suffers from intolerably hideous acting, incomprehensibly awful screenplay and insanely bad music….

Guys/Gals, if you take a soldering iron to your balls or boobs you’re likely to inflict less pain on yourself compared to watching this piece of shit called We are Family.

Rediff

We Are Family begins on a note of confusion. As the film progresses, the sense of confusion increases leaving the viewer disoriented. At the end of two hours, debut director Sidharth Malhotra’s film — which is intended to be a sob story — did leave the audience in tears. Of boredom.

….Stepmom fans, please keep away. Don’t even watch the trailer. Actually, the same advice is valid even for those who haven’t seen Stepmom. Continue reading »

My Name is Khan Review – My Name is SI and this Film is Not the Stuff of Legend

Pak Loving Chutiya SRK Sobbing into His Beer; MNIK Falls 63% in 2nd Wknd vs 9% Drop for 3 Idiots

Make no mistake, schmucks.

* My Name is Khan is not in the Forrest Gump league (even if the first person narrative style going back years into the life story of our hero Rizwan Khan is reminiscent of Forrest’s and even if there is a Jenny in the Hindi film).

* No, My Name is Khan is certainly not in the Rain Man class either (even if our hero is an autistic character exhibiting quirky behavior).

At best, My Name is Khan is a desi chutiya take on the two Hollywood legends within the framework of a post 9/11 society in the U.S.

But, but a desi chutiya version of Forrest Gump/Rain Man within the 9/11 framework is any day better than what Shahrukh ‘Pakistan is a great neighbor‘ Khan has delivered in recent junk like Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Billu Barber or Chak De India.

Narrated in flashback interspersed with the current, a style we’ve now seen twice in two days, My Name is Khan juggles three seemingly immiscible elements: Asperger’s Syndrome (a subset of autism), love and 9/11.

It’s the tension wrought by the collision of these three forces that forms the crux of this film.

In more capable hands, the tension and interplay of the three powerful elements could well have turned My Name is Khan into a classic.

But in the hands of a mediocre troika (director Karan Johar and lead stars Shahrukh Khan and Kajol) one should be merely content that the movie is not an unwatchable disaster.

Ask any more only at the peril of your intelligence being questioned.

Neither separately nor in their interplay are the three elements handled with an elan that could have set the My Name is Khan kite soaring. And that is a shame.

Not So Gripping Story
In its essence, My Name is Khan is the story of an autistic person Rizwan Khan (played of course by Shahrukh Khan) falling in love with a Hindu beautician Mandira (Kajol) and how 9/11 impinges harshly upon their lives in the U.S.

Although a gazillion times less annoying than the usual Bollywood Friday drivel like De Dana Dan or Veer, the My Name is Khan plot has a jerky feel not unlike a derailment on the orgasm train moments before you reach the destination! Continue reading »

U Me Aur Hum Review – Crude Lift of The Notebook

(U Me Aur Hum Fares Badly at U.S. Box Office)

When the definitive history of Bollywood is written, Ajay Devgan will easily be counted among the biggest thieves and liars the Mumbai film industry has produced.

Why do we say this?

Because we almost fell off our seats when we saw Ajay Devgan claiming credit for a story that is not clearly his as the credits flashed on the screen before U Me Aur Hum started at Regal Cinemas in Burlington (New Jersey).

This fella, Ajay Devgan, sure has some cojones – first he brazenly steals, then he shamelessly claims what he stole is his!

Say what you will but we don’t have a shred of doubt that U Me Aur Hum is a crude lift of that fine Hollywood romance The Notebook based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. We recently borrowed The Notebook (2004) from Netflix, watched it and loved it.

Set in the American south, The Notebook is a gorgeous romantic tale featuring Continue reading »
