why people should avoid the cinema

Warning: Spoilers
I think a score of 1 is a bit too high, it would mean I was mildly entertained. Does Suneel Darshan really think writing a film while on the toilet can be passed off as celluloid material.

Plot- none really Bollywood movies don't need plots they have emotions instead but i'll give it my best. Akshay Kumar a up-and-coming singer (the man is nearly 40) gets a lucrative record deal. The record company is owned by an old admirer Karisma Kapoor. Karisma, Akshay and his present girlfriend, Amisha Patel were all at the same college. Akshay goes to America seals the deal sleeps with Karisma and then regrets it, now everyone is back in India and Karisma is doing a Glenn close.

I don't watch Bollywood movies because there any good (with the exception of Hulchul which was very good) but for the spectacle, I expect the banal plot, awful dialogue and ridiculous minor characters but what really makes my skin crawl is the way every other line of dialogue is repeated in English. It really does have the worst dialogue, Amisha does it well in a monotone that would make a Uni- lecturer proud. Karisma swans around like Marlene Dietrich with a look in her eyes like the psychotic rabbit from Watership Down. Akshay is well Akshay, 2 dimensional prima donna who will sign on any movie contract put in front of him (check the scene where he is getting his promo photos done, I wanted to laugh but was honestly embarrassed).

Spoiler-I'm not saying that a lot of research should be done for the film but a little can help, Karisma slices her wrists and dances on glass and has no injuries, not even a little scare. And a day later she's wiggling around like Marlene again.

p.s. can anyone explain the last scene to me. Did they leave the body so they could all go home and get dressed in white and then call the ambulance to pick up the body and not tell the police that a gun was involved. Oh there's a lot more crap but I haven't got the time
