Garam Masala (2005)
5/10
If you like Pakistani Stage Comedies (Bakra Kisto pe) this is for you!
4 November 2005
Just came back after watching it at Naz8 in Fremont. For those who want my opinion straight away, without having to read the complete review, here's the gist:

Watch it if you have:

-Nothing better to do.

-Free passes.

-Respect for Priyadarshan's earlier movies.

-Appreciation for Pakistani stage dramas (sans Bakra Kiston pe etc.)

-Not been keeping up with clichéd jokes.

-Huge crush on Jon Abraham, who delivers dialogues as if he is trying to recall forgotten lines.

-Curiosity to see Akshay and Paresh's excellent comic timing being wasted in poorly written dialogues (again, not an excuse for Jon)

-Desire to see TV standard actresses getting more screen time than so called established item actresses.

I gave it a 5 out of 10 because sadly, it is still better than the other junk being churned out of bollywood factories. I rate movies higher when I find them enjoyable in a repeated watch. This one is sadly miles away from that.
