Let Meaningful cinema go to the dogs......this is Good anyway.

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2010)

Before I penned down this review I managed to browse through a few of " Hated It" reviews. To be sure they were absolutely ridiculous ( barring a few honest ones) . I mean I don't have any right to dictate as to who should like which movie but after reading the reviews I felt a little nauseatic because almost all of them were steeped in vindictive propaganda and were not by any means not genuine critical appraisals.
O.K. the humour sometimes did touch on the cheap side of things. But let me assure you this movie was in no way any more deplorable or depraved or Low than DEV -D or Kaminey , if that is what these gung-ho critics want to say.
A sweet aberration from the novel, the movie has been well made. Individual performances vary like maxima -minima . While Aamir is ordinary , the supporting cast is exceptionally good. Sharman Joshi is a good actor who is being ignored . Omi Vaidya and his dialogues are great. The guy was suited to the role and he performed it well.
Boman Irani is always entrusted with difficult parts. I say this because in many movies he has been asked to play the role of a real life eccentric with reel life eccentricities.
Kareena is a big disappointment ( always has been ).
The music is ordinary . I hate the song Zoobie Doobie . It is monotonous , boring and shabby.
In the totality of things a great movie with some great defining moments. Even if you leave real;ism and social messages aside as also Aamir's hyped image , this movie is by all means a remarkable one and deserves to be watched once if not twice or more.
