Anand: I don’t think anyone is saying there’s “no story” – but then again, in general, a strong story is no guarantee of a strong film.

karthik: I don’t know if it will “silence your critics now forever ” but I’ll put up that piece as soon as it’s out on the stands…

Arvind: Looking back, and given the quality of films this year, I guess even the bad 80s and 90s films are going to start looking good, forget the decent watches like HHRPK

Shwetha: Still no Via Darjeeling here…

Sujith: Yeah, the songs were not treated well at all… Surprising!

Jaane Tu was loads of fun…but nagging feel the movie did not do justice to Rahmans songs

Watched Via Darjeeling but waiting to hear your thots… For sure you will find it better than TPTM. Tho the movie might vanish in the clash between 2 debuts… Next weekend will be all aboout fresh faces and their potential.

i think this film seemed to be a poor man’s (or maybe a rich man’s given the budget!) version of ‘hum hain rahi pyar ke’. we have the orphans, the bachelor taking care of them, an angel like figure who falls in love with the bachelor, and of course the caricaturish other woman. BUT saif was nowhere close to aamir, rani doesn’t hold a candle to juhi as an angel, and the kids are so much more believable and cute in the earlier film. also the big difference is, as you pointed out, the underlying motivation: staying with someone who killed your parents is messed-up while living with your well-meaning and helpless uncle is quite another.

BR: Hmm, I am a good man who stays as far away from evil as possible

Usually I watch most films when they’re released, but Ill-health has kept me away from watching TPTM. I wouldn’t have missed TPTM otherwise, as I love to let my bias take centre stage and rip kunal kohli apart (like I did in the Fanaa review on my blog). That goes back more than 10 years when he used to be a so-called ‘critic’. I will still try to catch it, but next weekend has two other films releasing that might take preference.

Well…I am taking the bite..give it to me BR. Its so disappointing that critics are saying that there is no story in Dasavatharam. I really would like to know your opinion on the film.

I thought it would be a good simple movie for kids and family …

A distant second i must say
I would definitely like to hear your opinion of the movie when you watch it.

Gaurav Agrawal: “Definitely movie of the year after Mithya for me.” Wow. I hope the film lives up to that — though I must also admit that I’ve haven’t seen Mithya a second time, afraid that a second viewing might not prove as rapturous.

joe tempo: “Poor taste?” Because I didn’t care for the film? Hmmm…

Aditya Pant: Oh please. That wasn’t you trying to be “funny.” That was you casting a big, fat worm into the water in the evil hope that someone would bite

Have you seen TPTM, BTW?
