I might even have enjoyed it. The beginning that is.<br />As with all Bollywood movies, there's an excess, of just about everything, and I can't help but wonder that this movie might have been so much better if it had been written as an evolution of previous movies like Dil Chahta Hai and JTYNJ (or whatever the acronym is).<br />Instead it tries to be something else, and I think thats where it really goes and shoves a firecracker up its own ass...<br /><br />I'm a twenty-one year old male studying in the US (Engineering, go figure!). I feel I've lived a pretty savvy life so far.Based in the Middle East, and frequently visit India )-To me, the first twenty minutes held so much promise, mostly because it showcased that part of India that's hidden away behind a wall of protective parents and an ancient moral code.<br />I felt sex and 'hooking up was maturely portrayed. Especially the part where Imran goes down on his fiancee, was quite tastefully done (no pun intended). I imagine more Indian men would probably try this now since going down on a girl is officially 'cool' now!<br />Also the whole pictures with the prostitute part was also interesting, mostly because I found myself in one of those situations last year when I was touring Goa with friends from the US and I managed to grab a quick still of a couple street walkers fawning over my American buddy when we stumbled into the red light district. He promptly sent the pic from my phone to his girlfriend (back in the US) as a joke, and she promptly walked across the hallway of her dorm and slept with her RA. Quite funny actually.<br />I diverge, long story short, I felt this movie could have been something more than it was. The ideas were great but the execution was flawed.Klashnoreply@blogger.com
