Milenge Milenge

wogma rating: Watch when on TV (?)
quick review: Milenge Milenge is more about the times Kareena Kapoor (Priya) and Shahid Kapoor (Amit) don't meet (Jab they don't meet). Unfortunately, the engaging situations are detailed with lame lines and the good performances are packaged in tacky overalls.

Roy DSilva:

Isnt this the movie that was dabbe mein for saat saal?

meetu:

@Roy yep! that's the one...

Joydeep:

If we compare "Milenge Milenge" with "I hate love stories" then what do you think,which one is better??

B.H.Harsh:

I am glad you didn't "write it off". I enjoyed it moderately enough, because like you said... we do begin to root somewhere for the characters.
:)
Its a predictable romantic melodrama alright, but it doesn't claim to be anything greater either.

lost in confusion:

Quoting meetu:
"thanks for the appreciation. but i try my best to watch all films that come out in a decent theater at a decent time in Pune. It's only fair, i think."

So meetu, where's the review for "Red Alert - The War Within"? I can bet it's in a decent theater at a decent time in Pune.

meetu:

@Joydeep again, i don't quite enjoy comparisons, but the two are just about the same level of good vs. bad.

@B. H. Harsh I know. The thing is how much weight you give for what's good and what's bad in the film. Just too subjective, movie to movie, person to person and time to time

@lost in confusion haanji, aapka hukum sar aankho par. will do first thing on Monday.

lost in confusion:

@meetu: dare I ever give you a hukum???!!! I was just sayin'. BTW, Monday's just about to end :p

Looking at the reviews & ratings it's received, I don't think it'd be that bad when compared to the movies churned out by Bollywood lately.
Anyway, I'm not too keen now. So I don't mind whether it's reviewed here or not.

meetu:

@lost in confusion :) here you go... http://wogma.com/movie/red-alert-the-war-within-review/ and thanks for keeping me on my toes!

lost in confusion:

@meetu: Thank you ji. BTW, the review's almost as I'd expected it from you.

meetu:

@lost in confusion 'almost as i'd expected' - meaning like what?

lost in confusion:

@meetu: I'm not too good at putting my thoughts in words, so I'd skipped that explanation part. But I'm giving it a try anyway. To cut the long story short (for my convenience), I meant that you'd find the movie a bit good & fairly watchable, but not tremendously great to run to cinemas to check it out.

It's not too hard to predict your likes & tastes (of course, only as far as movies are concerned) after having followed your reviews for quite a while now.

BTW, while responding, you can abbreviate "lost in confusion" to LIC (:p) if you're not doing the copy-paste work (just a suggestion from a lazy bone).

meetu:

@lost_in_confusion yeah, that's true of most people who's tastes one keeps track of. I use your full nickname for the benefit of other readers

Flixter:

predictable melodramas suuuuuuck!
