Clash of two biggies - Taare Zameen Par and Welcome

Two really big movies are clashing this week- TODAY that is. But luckily we are spared the hype that was generated during Diwali by Om Shanti Om and Sawariyaan. Man - that was a big let down wasn't it. I still haven't seen Saawariyan, but am not expecting much. But I may still catch it. While I din't find OSO all that great though it was funny in parts. And i Liked the 70's look. All in all a good laugh.

Of the two releases today, I think both should do well, as Aamir Khan has a loyal following while Welcome show cases the current red hot favorite Akshay Kumar. Anything Akshay touches turns to gold. So I am counting on that to make Welcome into a really good blockbuster. Add to that the odd couple of Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar and a sizzling Mallika Sherawat. Paresh Rawal completes the star packed ensemble.

Other two releases are Bombay to Bangkok and Sunday.

TZP has the ever dependable (kindly ignore Mangal Mangal Mangal....) Aamir and a very sensitive and meaningful story. The look seems fabulous and I already am feeling a bit emotional. The Kid looks lovable and the songs are soulful. So how can it
miss?

My view is give the audience two good films and they will watch both. Right na????

But this didn't work out for Laaga Chunari Mein Daag as the prescence of other movies hits its prospects badly.

It holiday time with Sunday!!!!

Audiences are waiting to see if Sunday will join the increasing number of films that have hit the bullseye with comedy being the engine that drives them. Sunday has an eclectic starcast ofAyesha Takia, Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Irfan Khan, Esha Deol and Anjana Sukhani.

Ajay and Arshad have proved thir mettle with comedy earlier with fils like Ishq, Golmaal and Munnabhai series and Dhamaal respectively. It will be interesting to see how Irfan Khan manages comedy, despite him being a great actor. He does have a quirky sense of humor and relies on his tone to make a scene effective as opposed to making silly faces. The ladies are pretty and add to the glamour quotient of the movie. Heres hoping to a fun Sunday with these stars.
