Movies - Last half of 2006

I like watching movies in a theatre only when the movie is worthwile. The fascinating thing about watching a movie in the theatre is that it leaves a life long flash in your mind. If one does that in every Tom Dick and Harry movie then I feel it is corrupted thought. "Golamaal", "Chupke Chupke", "Mr India", "DDLJ", "MPK" etc all of them are of that genre. I as a person believe that if a movie/plot is good enough, it is like watching a movie afresh everytime. In the bollywood perspective I like people with fresh ideas/plots. I generallly like Ram Gopal Verma stamp movies. They are generally so different from other stories. If I feel a movie is good, I go and watch it in the theatres else online/Cds/DVDs are a better route. I happened to recently see "Darwaza Bandh Rakho ne" and "Shiva" both of them were a good movie for different reasons. I also happened to see "DON" the new onw. I should appreciate Farhan Akhtar for all his previous movies, but in this movie he has tried to copy a bit too much. Had he adapted it, it would have been more likeable than this. He should have copied only the story to a large extent and a few dialogues and essence and not the other things.

The Indian movies when they have a betterstorylinearebetter than most of the other movies that I see. HAIL BOLLYWOOD at the end of the day.
