Rahul: “Packed multiplex”? Where? From press reports, it dooesn’t appear to have done well anywhere.

raj: Who knows? Maybe they’re changing the story a bit.

Akshay: Ah – thanks.

What I meant by “backlog” film was that this is one that was initially slated to release JUNE 2006 It got delayed for some reasons, and the next date was early 07 which is when the posters and initial teaser promos came out. RGV along the way lost interest with the SHIVA remake, NISHABD, RGV KI AAG, DARLING and SARKAR RAAJ that this one was lying in the cans for quiet a while until now.

BR, 7GRC in Hindi? Vivek oberoi? Wasnt Ravikrishna’s Yuck quotient a key character of the movie? I know Vivek isnt really hot in Hindi but how are they going to bring in the Yuck Factor?- Vivek’s not that bad !

This is a bit off-track, but the DVD for Manorama is out already? I watched it in a packed multiplex last night, and thought it absolutely stunning. Can’t wait to see your review of it.

Sagarika: Even as in-flight entertainment, this would be a no-’Go’ . Oh, and Christmas Jones was hilarious, though I wasn’t quite thinking of her when I wrote this

Mumbai Ramki: That was a laugh… To paraphrase Usilai Mani, Nanna sonnel pon-’Go’

Shankar: Thanks man.

brangan: I haven’t seen this one yet, thank God. To that extent, justice does prevail in this world . Just this once, I forgive your playing off of the title of my all-time favorite Jack Lemmon-Walther Matthau ’60s runaway comedy hit (although this one doesn’t obviously deserve such exalted association even by way of a superb pun), because you had me squealing with laughter at your marvelous attempt at injecting some brains at least into the review of an obviously brainless exercise in movie-making. If I’m ever a captive audience to this movie, e.g., strapped in an airline seat some 50,000 ft up in the sky for 15 hours straight with no other go but “Go”, then I at least have this funny funny review to remind me to try and see the humor in parts (if only to cry out loud) instead of dwelling on the horror of having to leave my brains behind, at the security check-in.

Your description of (I’m “guessing” buxom) Vasundhara ploughing through a textbook titled Principles of Physics instantly brought to mind another brain-and-acting-skills-deprived bombshell (this one from Hollywood) who paraded around as (you guessed it) nuclear scientist Christmas Jones in the 1999 Bond flick “The World is Not Enough” (I’m sure she had the guys crying “Heaven” when she swam around in that tight white t-shirt in a sinking submarine right after her hilariously inept delivery of the line: “I’ve got to get this bomb back or somebody’s going to have my butt!” — or something along those lines). Seems to me (from your write-up) that RGV saw a similar, perfect pneumatic bubblehead in Ms.Kothari (probably as close to a cartoon character as he could get without casting Jessica Rabbit) to “liven up” Vasundhara’s role in this movie!

And that part where you write about our hero-with-the-6-pack-abs turning quadriplegic the moment he experiences a pants-down “naada” conundrum that he hopes his lady-love-to-be would succesfully “rope” him out of … that’s another truly laugh-out-loud moment in this review. And you tie it all together oh-so-nicely with that last line!

Do keep ‘em coming!
