  • Hello:

    I just watched "Hello" and I thought it was a terrible film that should never have been released. It just started off on a bad note for me with Salman Khan, in his usual shirtless avatar, gyrating his hips to some song that proclaimed him to be a "Rockstar". The guy is past his prime and really needs a serious fixer-upper to come back to his "Rockstar" status. To me he was such an eye-sore. And then comes the "lovely" Katrina. In the movie,she was as mechanical as one those wind-up dolls and the dubbing for her dialogue was so obvious. I watched this film for Gul Panag because I think that she can act (Evidence: "Dor"). But in this movie I don't know what disappointed me more - her lack of acting skills or the fact that every outfit she wore made her looked like a tart. :( This film certainly was a Salman Khan family affair and I think the only person that did a half-decent job was Sohail Khan. Sharman Joshi was also good and I thought his was the only character that was believable. For the rest of the no-namers- I don't even want to comment on them.

    And what's up with all the generalizations about "goras" and the stereotyping? Those parts really made me cringe. I don't know why this movie was hell-bent on making derisive comments only towards Caucasian people. There are dumb people and smart people in every society.

    I hope this movie sinks without a trace.

    Gustaki Maaf! Overall, I didn't think the movie was all that bad. The costumes were great, most of the SFX didn't look amateurish and the characters looked like they knew how to weild a sword in the fight sequences. It seemed like there wasn't too much effort put into the dialogue department but I guess Priyanka's sexy avatar and Abhishek's jaded look made up for it. I thought that Kay Kay was at his flamboyant best even though his protrayal of Riz had a strong undercurrent of Willy Wonka.

    Drona did, however, have its moments that made me cringe. Like how it started with the whole Harry Potter hangover and never quite recovered from it. The songs seemed too "thrown in there for commercial value".

    But... all in all it is an alright film if you want to escape into the realms of fantasy for a few hours.
