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.
