I watched this yesterday, and while I loved certain scenes (the well one is a classic, and even that one in the plane at night was pretty funny) - it seemed to really drag the rest of the time.

I'm embarrassed to have to confess that I had no idea it was VB film.<br /><br />I definitely agree that VB shows promise as a comic director. Of those underwhelmed by the film, I'm one of the minority who wished for more of the comic and surreal, less of the sober. A brave experiment, and hopefully a precursor of better things to come. mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042500344000182850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527480637476690593.post-24744638836367081152013-01-14T14:33:34.955+13:002013-01-14T14:33:34.955+13:00OMG YES!!

Which reminds me that I was going to talk about it in my review and then got carried away with other things. :) But I do agree that a remote control with a FF button would have helped in some places with this one. Not sure what Vishal was thinking because even as I loved his sense of humour in the more comedic 7 Khoon Maaf and Kaminey (as opposed to the other more dramatic films which you have already seen from him), there was indeed something disjointed about this one. <br /><br />I've said this before: with so many great scenes, not sure why he felt the need to dilute with all that serious stuff. Also, not a fan of the abundance of bathroom humour, especially the Peepli-Live-esque scene with the blind kid and the UFO. Meh.<br /><br />Still, when it was funny, it was hysterical, so there is hope yet for VB as a comedy director, I'd say. :) Dolce and Namakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403089235872528987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527480637476690593.post-1606737834746730262013-01-14T06:57:35.763+13:002013-01-14T06:57:35.763+13:00There is a lot to like, Mette, I'm sure you...There is a lot to like, Mette, I'm sure you'll find it fun, even if you do also find it flawed. mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042500344000182850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527480637476690593.post-51122041984540102232013-01-14T03:15:00.034+13:002013-01-14T03:15:00.034+13:00I really, really can't wait to see this one - ...I really, really can't wait to see this one - been waiting for it ever since I first saw the trailer, which I thought was hilarious.
