I Hate Luv Storys (2010)
Simply falls flat on face.. what was Karan thinking while making this movie??
It was a much awaited film and I personally know lot of people who were waiting for its release. The movie had it all to make it a hit - Karan's direction, Imran as hero, Sonam as heroine, few good songs, the media hype before release and some great previews by likes of Taran Adarsh... but, it simply falls flat on its face due to poor execution of an ordinary story.
There is lack of depth in the movie across key areas as acting, dialogue delivery, screenplay and direction. I am really confused whether Karan was trying to make a formula film (and failed) or, a different film (and, still failed).
I Hate Luv Storys is not even worth spending on its DVD, leave alone spending money on ticket for a show at theatre. The lucky ones who have waited to read a review and plan accordingly should simply wait till a channel like Colours or Sony premiere it on TV as the movie is worth only that.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
It's okay but not great.. nowhere close to first two editions!!
Twilight 3 is okay but not great. To say the least it is no where close to editions 1 & 2. In fairness may be there were great expectations from the movie (at least I had) after enormous success of the Twilight franchise both in printed and visual versions. The pace of the movie is slow and there are lot of conversations, not the usual romantic ones which are hallmark of this series, just the back and forth ones!! It misses on action for a good part and when action arrives, it's nicely executed but then action disappears before one could blink. One thing which amuses me is that in edition-1 Bella was "unconditionally and irrevocably in Love with Edward" and by edition-3 she is 'eternally confused'. Come on Stephenie Meyer don't go the Harry Potter way - you could do better!!
