I don’t generally review films you’ll never see; I consider it a form of masturbation, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara has the scene with my favorite cinematography of 2011 – unfortunately, I can’t reveal what it is without giving away a key plot point, sorry. Let’s just say it’s airborne. And it’s just one thing to like about a film some of you should give a chance. Three guys are having their ultimate bachelor throwdown in Spain. Each has chosen an activity that cannot be revealed to the others until day-of, so that nobody will back out. The back stories of these twentysomethings include a guy growing up, a guy getting married and a guy falling in love. And, of course, it’s Indian, so there will be at least three or four scenes of unmitigated musical mirth. If you dig that stuff, this is a movie for you.
Good film; kinda fun, see it if you have the chance. I don’t really want to go there. Twice in two years now I’ve seen a romantic Indian film featuring this guy:
I guess this is a warning. This guy has serious screen presence. And he’s better looking than you. He’s also cut. I’m pretty sure this guy comes with a full-time chest waxer/beard wrangler. His easily mispronounced name is decidedly forgettable. In trying to remember it last week, I came up with “Horrific Monolith”, which is how I’ll know him from now on. Get used to his look; get used to his face. You’re gonna see it again – he knows enough English to fulfill his destiny of becoming a handsome Gerard Depardieu. Ladies? See one of his Bollywood films. Thank me later.
Not Rated, Minutes? Yes, many.
