Movie Talk -- Hum Tum, 35 minutes in

Is it possible to call a movie the worst movie ever made 35 min. in? Probably if it is a Bollywood movie. Ofcourse, it is far to easy to criticize a Bolly movie. So I will try to go easy:

1) Is it too much to expect having Indian cartoon characters in an Indian movie? The recent Shaadi Ka Ladoo had western cartoon characters. And in Hum Tum, it looks highly unprofessional to have western cartoon characters speaking Hindi dialogues. Looks like bad dubbing.

2) Why does every Hindi movie aspire to be a 'Dil Chahta Hai'? Dil Chahta Hai was great, and every other rip-off will always be a wasteful and pathetic effort.

3) If every Indian hated Boom, then why is the music for Boom ripped off for 'Hum Tum'?

4) Have Indian men in Bollywood never fallen in love? Have these Indian men never had an actual conversation with a woman in their life? If they had, then they would have know how to write dialogues and scenes for a screenplay.

5) When will foreign cities stop be misrepresented in Bolly movies?

6) Marriages. Marriages. When will marriages be stopped used as a cheap backdrop for movies?

7) Enough with Dilwale. The end.

8) Ofcourse, people still see such movies and actually like them. And then the same people think 'Boom' was a bad idea. WOW.

At this point, it seems it will take a miracle to salvage this waste of a movie. Easily one of the worst movies EVER made. And that is being kind. Ofcourse, I am the wrong person to say anything about this movie. One must have the ability to overdose on sugar to watch this. Forgive me if I like my chocolate cake with a little bit of a mocha kick.

Oh wait. Abhishek B. has just entered the movie. Surely, there is no hope for this one :)
