gyarah kahaniyan

Summarizing my last two evenings in a simple mathemagical equation:
gyarah kahaniyan = dus kahaniyan + aaja nachle

Dus Kahaniyan is a brave attempt to say the least. Frankly speaking it did not live up to my expectations. I imagined it a Indian attempt of love actually or babel. Though the stories are some of the best you have heard [and watched] in recent times, no linking amongst them is bit of a uneasy factor. Box office has tagged this movie as a flop. It was bound to be. No masala to sell here. I feel this movie is a link between out-and-out commercial crap and over-the-head crossover cinema. And that makes it special. Content and execution are top notch and that surely makes it stand out in the lot.
Good work guys. Keep it up.

Aaja Nachle is another proof of Madhuri's brilliance. She rocks and she dances. And nobody can do it better than her. Watch if for Madhuri. Storyline is loose. At end of three hours you will realize that there is nothing that you did not expect. Swades meets Chak De India. There are light moments throughout the movie. Time pass assured. Laila Majnoo show is something you have never seen in your life. It's enjoyable to core. Madhuri's dance is the icing on cake. She has grace and persona that none of the current heroins in bollywood can boast of. Would love to see more of you Madhuri. Keep dancing.
And to those of you who tagged it as woman oriented movies, fish off. Just that lead actor is a girl does not make a woman oriented movie.

Not sure about Dus Kahania... but aaja nachle was a nice movie... specially for Laila-Majnu show, that was a good concept to bring in
