Flop story 2008
Director: Harry Baweja
Cast: Harman Baweja, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani
The Bitch‘s Verdict: Not worth it!
The Bitch felt really happy while watching this movie. Not that it‘s that good, but because it‘s that bad!
After ‘Jaane tu... she didn‘t really have much to bitch about and that‘s why this one was so important. It has everything to bitch about.
And with this let‘s also welcome the new concept of time travel in Indian movies mixed with the age old one of rebirth. So Indian fiction meets western fiction, isn‘t that awesome?
Let‘s get it straight, there is only one purpose of the movie. To showcase the hero‘s unique abilities and give him a jumpstart to stardom. The Bitch fears that it might exactly do the opposite.
The movie is as cliche as it can it get, with even cornier dialogues and a story with more potholes than on the streets of Mumbai. If you can bear five songs in the first hour itself, you must go and watch it. The sci-fi effects seem to be more important than the script and even they are not done with a great imagination.
Why do we always think of extreme stuff when it‘s the future? Why does it have to be either a eutopic or dystopic society? Red hair, heavy duty accessories, chains instead of clothes. Will our children loose their marbles in the future?
Harman apes Hrithik in every department possible. His side locks, hair, stubble, speech, dialogue delivery, dance moves, etc...all look like reflections of Hrithik, but in one of those funny mirrors. This is an insult to HR.
And he can‘t act, his papa wasted so much time, money and energy on making sure that he is presented like a true blue, sex bomb hero driving fast cars that he forgot to give him some content to act upon. My son can do everything, he win‘s cycle races at the spur of the moment, that would probably need months of training, he can do parkore, he can dance, he can beat the s**t out of people and he can make a girl fall in love with him.
Sorry to burst your bubble Mr. Baweja but even Raju Shrivastav can do all this. And talking about your son, well, it looks like he just had his voice box fractured.
And that‘s where this movie loses out very badly to ‘Jaane tu...‘ Far from looking like a hero, Harman just exists in the movie and hardly evokes any excitement.
After repeating gazillions of times that he‘s 23 years old he also keeps on repeating dialogues like "I don‘t need luck, I have love" and that‘s when your boiling point reaches it‘s limit. Dude, you will need all the luck in the world to get this movie past the first week!
The story and direction are so crappy, that The Bitch can‘t figure out where to start. Mr. Baweja should be given the crapman award of the year.
Our hero, or zero in this case is a rich NRIs son (who isn‘t?)! His mom ticked away and dad runs after green paper. So he feels alone all the time and has some friends who wear clothes which are found on the streets of Mumbai, in Australia.
Boy meets girl, fancies her, dates her and both fall for each other thanks to a butterfly leading the way when they separate. Gulp!
Enter boy‘s uncle, a character straight out of ‘Back to the future‘. The character of the scientist has never evolved, nor will it ever.
So now the girl dies, boy saddens, uncle‘s brain ticks, time machine works and a rebirth happens (guess whose) and the future fiasco starts.
Piggy chops (PC) does well, but lacks screen presence in the first half, and is over zealous in the second. But excessive branding and pre-release hype about the movie won‘t dent her career even if the movie is a flop.
The robots seem from ‘Bicentennial man‘, the lightsaber of course from ‘Star Wars‘ and the hairdo from ‘The Fifth Element‘. Rest all is the outcome of a genuine Bollywood brain, go figure it out!

the costumes vr hrrible! film ws vry bad, but i found harrrman cute | piggy
worst of the worst
so bad is the film that it competes with the likes of laal badshah suryavansham and asranis caper for the worst movie ever made title.. this guy sports a agay look speaks like sonu nigam tries to be extra syrupy and off cant act for nuts
in the scene where he is holding a dying priyanka he very softly says somebody help me.. whereas he has his working car in front of him to take him wherever he wants including a hospital..or a zoo where actually he should have been..dont the makers see their own defects in the movie making they are such stalwarts dont they see what rubbish they are making ? the special effects are better in the tom and jerry cartoon films than in the movie and chopsy ? why does she giggle or smirk all the time? is this what is acting?..heavens !!! this movie is the all time BLACK BUSTER of all time my rating -****** | bali
