    LOL! Thanks for the link – it’s a surprisingly accurate review.

    Pappa-ji could have helped things along by picking up some of Roshan Pere’s longing, lingering camera moves.

    Truthfully, I wasn’t planning on seeing it anyway and the scathing reviews plus Mr. Baweja’s silly tirades aren’t going to change my mind! But at least reviews like Banno’s give some entertainment value for all the money he spent on it.

    That is so awesome! Thank you for the link, I laughed the whole way through. And then when I got to the part about the nasal/Punjab/NRI thing–bwahahahaha! I love it.

    Memsaab, the second half of the movie is very much worth watching from a pure camp standpoint. Wait for it to come out on DVD, fast forward through the (very) tedious first half and then laugh yourself silly at the Masala Of The Future – which looks a lot like the Masala Of 1967 but with flying cars.

    Just finished reading Baradwaj Rangan’s review of it, where he says at one point: “…we’re left with the kind of overall silliness where a moronic villain pops up from nowhere, decides to follow Karan in order to get his grubby hands on the time machine, and fires missiles at Karan’s vehicle along the way, unmindful of the fact that if Karan goes up in smoke, there’s no one left to lead him to the damn contraption.”

    And I thought, hmmm. Sounds like 70s masala! (or 60s)…:-)

    Thanks for the links, Memsaab! Love Story 2050 must really have been quite bad, huh? Good thing I opted for a second trip to see Jaane Tu :)
