One of the Salmans - tragically, the one named Raja - had a hand that started quivering whenever any woman bent over, and he was compelled, almost magnetically, to thwack her bottom. "In case you don't remember, this posterior fixation was a big part of the original film. (Image courtesy: Instagram) Here's what I said in my review: Judwaa 2 is a remake of Salman Khan's 1997 film. Everyone involved in this remake deserves a spanking. Twenty years after the rollicking Judwaa, the remake decides to continue what 'worked' in the film and make sure it has a 'loveable' hero who just can't resist a woman's bottom. I can simply declare that its too spoofy to feel like a drama and too mournful to be funny." Is it an anti-deforestation public service film, telling us not to chop down trees because resident ghosts need a place to stay? Is it trying to inform us that places we consider monuments to tragedy are nice places to hug by moonlight? Is it a warning to engaged women who conduct their pre-wedding courtship largely on Skype, that most men are disappointing offline? I have no earthly clue. "Watching the film I wondered what it was trying to preach, since - like a bad street-play - it is too self-serious and portentous to not have a moral.
Phillauri was produced by Anushka Sharma. Anushka Sharma breathes life into Anshai Lal's poorly conceived film about a pretty ghost, but there's only that much she can do, and trying to justify a romantic climax between ghosts in Jallianwala Bagh (while other ghosts applaud) is beyond her considerable powers. I hope you steered clear of them.Ī comedy that isn't funny, a ghost story that isn't eerie, and a film about Punjabi weddings that doesn't have a drunken grandmother - just kidding, the sozzled grandparent is very much a part of the proceedings. There are few things as disheartening as knowing you're going to watch a bad film - after being informed and recommended about the same - and then being proven too right. Because we make so few good movies - here are the top ten - most of December is spent in a foul mood as I'm felled by bullets I thought I'd dodged. I do not watch every Hindi movie that comes out, but, at the end of the year, I try to find the truly spectacular triumphs and the most catastrophic failures. Making this list is one of the toughest things I do every year.
