Dimple speaks her heart out to Kush who takes a little longer to realise that he too is in love with her.Dimple forces Kush to elope with her.

Star Performance:-
So far as the pefronmance of star are concerned Imran Khan has done comedy in a much more mature fashion than his other films. He is more confident in the comic scenes. On the other hand, Katrina Kaif looks good in the  trendy look and endears herself to the audience.Her performance is absolutely fantastic. Katrina will also earn brownie points for her graceful dances. Ali Zafar has done a fine job. He looks very cute. Tina D’Souza stands her own, especially in the climax.

Story Script:-
Apart from Ali Zafar’s performance, not much. Zafar is outstanding and he’s the only reason the film was to-an-extent and should be watchable.Ali Abbas Zafar’s story is based on the age-old formula of a love triangle.However, the screenplay, also penned by Ali Abbas Zafar, keeps the audience involved and engrossed at all times. 
The emotional points of the drama touch the heart, especially the scene where Katrina Kaif tells Imran Khan that she has fallen in love with him. Also the scene when Imran Khan feels miserable about falling in love with the girl whom he has selected as his brother’s wife touches heart by botoom.The dialogues are good and entertaining at the same time.The dialogues are good and entertaining at the same time.
The performances from the main lead (Imran, Katrina) disappoint big time. Not once do they get their comic timing right and Katrina, who until now was improving with each film, overdoes her Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani act. Imran Khan is clearly outshined, in every scene, by the brilliant Ali Zafar.

Direction:-
The Director Ali Abbas Zafar has handled the film in a mature way. He succeeds in keeping the audience engaged This is a first time for director, he has done a nice job.

On The whole:-
On the whole,Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is reasonable entertainment and dramaic comedy.this is a nice ,great and has a Good Direction , Acting, Comedy and the Glamour. A good Movie for all Class of People.

Bodyguard movie review

No doubt Bodyguard is the biggest release of this year 2011 so far. and , its all about Salman Khan here.As we know that Salman khan has made hattrick, for movies in EID. Salman's Wanted (2009) was a Super Hit, Dabangg (2010) was a Blockbuster and now This one is Bodyguard.


Buisness rating: 3/4

Star cast: Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Raj Babbar.Hazel Keech,Asrani,Aditya Pancholi,Mahesh Manjrekar,Rajat Rawali

Crew:
Director: Siddique
Producer: Atul Agnihotri and Alvira Agnihotri

Watch or Not:  Should be watch Performance is so good



Story:

Lovely Singh is a disciplined and punctual Bodyguard, and has get great pride in what he does. After providing security to the likes of, Katrina Kaif, Lovely Singh is assigned with a new project, too guard a rich girl named, Divya whose life is in danger. 


Divya is the daughter of Sartaj Rana, a well respected man in his hometown. Although Divya isn’t happy about being accompanied by a bodyguard to her college campus, she goes ahead with her father’s wishes. 


Divya gets frustrated and finds a way to distract Lovely Singh’s mind. She traps her bodyguard by calling him with a different voice and pretends to be his lover. 


When Divya comes to know the real reason and motives behind Lovely Singh guarding her, she falls in love with him. When she learns that her bodyguard is fully in love with his secret admire, Divya finds it hard to confess she had been his admire all alone, and fears as to what her father’s reaction may be.


Plus Point:
The lyrics, soundtracks and the powerful star cast of this movies gives it the biggest plus point. Kareena Kapoor looks stunning in traditional Indian wear and Salman Khan delivers a lovable performance throughout the film. Unusual comedy scenes played by Rajat Rawali keep us engaged, as well as breathe taking special effects. Although the film takes a while to kick off, a few crucial scenes spark the audience.

Negative Point:
First one is,Each time Lovely gets a phone call his body jerks ahead like someone has kicked his behind. and the 2nd, There is a quirky scene involving a remote controlled helicopter that is let loose on Divya. As it slashes through fruits, furniture, the special effects are tacky enough for it to seem like a housefly that can be easily swatted down.


Result:

Bodyguard has a great storyline which has never been seen in Bollywood before, however some scenes have been miss-placed which weakens the screenplay.  The music covers the landscape, from the chirpy, 'I love you' to the full-blast disco-dhol number, 'Desi Beats'.With great comic timing, hit songs and Salman Khan’s lovable performance, the film keeps us clued from start to finish.

Over all Bodyguard is a complete Bollywood entertainer and a different from films like Dabangg and Wanted, but will still be liked by Salman fans. The last 20-30 minutes is by far the film’s weakest point. Even if u are a big fan of Sallu as well as Bebo must watch it.

Not A Love story Movie Reviews

      Not A Love Story

Movie:-  Not a love Story
Star Cast:- Deepak Dobriyal, Mahie Gill, Ajay Gehi, Zakir 
                  Hussain
Directed by Ram Gopal Varma

What’s Good: The fast pace of the film; the performances of the four main actors.

What’s Bad: The loopholes in the screenplay; the open-ended climax which will not find universal favour; lack of hit music; too much tension in the drama.

Verdict: Not A Love Story is an ordinary fare. It’s plus point, however, is that it has been made on a limited budget

Rating: ***

Ramgopal Varma is controversy's favorite child. And it's not the first time that there is so much of a hullabaloo over an RGV film. Be it his choice of subjects or his tweets, RGV is truly distinct, known for walking the untrodden path and speaking his mind. Like him or not, you can't disregard him. This time around, the maverick film-maker chooses to narrate a crime story on an extremely contentious theme, a heinous murder.

In 2008, the nation woke up to a dreadful, deplorable news -- a man was murdered and his body was chopped into pieces in suburban Mumbai. It was too horrific an incident to be forgotten. When one thinks of it, one wonders what could've provoked this brutal deed. 

In 2008, an aspiring actress [Mahie Gill] was doing the rounds of the Mumbai film industry. In the course of her efforts, she met a person [Ajay Gehi] who lent her a helping hand. One fateful morning her boyfriend [Deepak Dobriyal] landed up when she was with that man in her apartment. What followed thereafter shook the entire nation.

In order to remain as real as possible, RGV has filmed the movie in the same building, which gives the viewer an idea about how the dastardly act was committed in actuality in the apartment. The scenes of the murder and its aftermath give you goose pimples. The murder and what transpired thereafter, including Dobriyal chopping the body into pieces and the accused couple making out in front of the dead body, have also been incorporated. 

'Kahani mein twist' happens when Robin lands up at Anusha's, unaware of Ashish's unclothed presence. Result: chop, chop, slash, slice, chop. Robin's masterplan: discard Ashish's remains in 'chota pieces' packed neatly in many plastic bags and later burn it near the outskirts of the city. After Robin returns home, the remaining cast realises Ashish's absence, a police investigation follows and Anusha finally gives in to the interrogation.

The performances are solid at the start, only to dissolve into high-strung theatrics as the film goes on. Mahie Gill  is believable as an ambitious North Indian girl with a halting English accent, wanting to break it into the movies, but Varma, in a clear bid for sympathy, exaggerates her character's vulnerability to an insane degree, and makes the poor actress spend a lot of time sobbing hysterically. Deepak Dobriyal  is, as always, very solid indeed, except that Varma increasingly pushes his character into that of a maniac, demonically sure of himself. Ajay Gehi, playing victim, is both believable and believably written. The rest of the cast is mostly let down by overdone dialogue, except Darshan Jariwala who sparkles briefly as a lawyer.

On the whole, NOT A LOVE STORY shocks and stuns, which only goes to prove how impactful the film is. But, most importantly, it reiterates the age-old adage, anger is short-lived madness and how things can change for worse at the spur of the moment. It must be said that NOT A LOVE STORY is amongst Ramgopal Varma's best works. An intense mindbender, NOT A LOVE STORY is a wonderful illustration of how the accurate approach to storytelling can levitate a film. Try not to miss this one! 

Aarakshan Movie Review

Cast & Crew:


Starring: Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Manoj Bajpayee, Deepika Padukone, Prateik Babbar
Director: Prakash Jha
Producer: Prakash Jha, Firoz A. Nadiadwala
Screenplay: Anjum Rajabali, Prakash Jha
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Cinematography: Sachin Krishn
Editing: Santosh Mandal


When a film title quotes 'a film by Prakash Jha', it is inevitable that the film will have a plenty of food for thought. After delivering films like Damul, Mrityudand, Gangaajal, Apaharan and Raajneeti, there is definitely high expectations from Jha's upcomingAarakshan. Like others Aarakshan also deals with a serious issue of caste-based reservation in the society. The film also goes on to talk about the commercialization of educational institutions. 
Aarakshan portrays the torment that the youth goes through, who believe in equal rights, still continues to follow the caste-based society. Prakash throughAarakshan ventures to untouched themes of Indian Cinema, caste-based reservations in government jobs and educational institutions. 

Aarakshan tells the story of Prabhakar Anand (Amitabh Bachhan), an idealistic principal of a college that has turned out to be state's best, solely through his efforts. It is the story of his loyal disciple, Deepak Kumar (Saif Ali Khan) who can do anything for him. Aarakshan speaks about Deepak's love for Prabhakar's daughter Poorbi (Deepika Padukone) and about his friendship with Sushant (Prateik). Aarakshan based on a controversial issue promises you a rollercoster ride full of high drama, conflict and rebellion. It shows the test of love, friendship and loyalty towards Prabhakar Anand. 
Plus Point
Prakash Jha is one among those filmmakers who can even drive audience to watch a film based on practical social matters. Be it Raajneeti or Aarakshan, Jha has always delivered the harsh realities through his cinema. Aarakshan bang on hits to point that it wants to deliver, caste based politics, gender bias, commercialization of educational, etc. Though initially one will take time to comprehend what's going on, as the film has multiple characters being introduced and there are several plots running simultaneously, but things fall into places as the story proceeds.

The first hour of the film is impactful, while the second half comes across as a mixed bag. Handing two important societal issues in one film is not an easy job, Jha has brilliantly tackled the plot delivering an accurate Aarakshan. One relates to the subject of Aarakshan instantly as it is picked from the real life, every family is genuinely concerned about the education and job of their child.

The conflict between Amitabh Bachchan and Manoj Bajpayee in particular is shown brilliantly and leaves a a solid impression. An issue-based film rarely gets scope for music (Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy), andAarakshan was no different. However, Jha has weaved the songs smartly in the narrative of the film. Like any other Jha's film Aarakshan too has hard-hitting dialogue (Anjum Rajabali). Sachin Krishn's cinematography is top class.
The Principal's role was written after keeping Amitabh Bachchan in mind. In Aarakshan, the actor gives a completely new dimension to his character as a Principal. It requires great courage to cast Saif Ali Khan in the role, but he comes across brilliantly. The actor carries of his character outstandingly. His Shudh Hindi diction is perfect. Deepika Padukone also plays a challenging part, but his confident portrayal of the character comes clearly.
Perform
Manoj Bajpayee is remarkable in his negative character of a person who treats education as a business. Prateik needs to loosen up a little bit. Tanvi Azmi is first-rate. Mukesh Tiwari is top notch. Yashpal Sharma, Darshan Jariwala, Saurabh Shukla, Chetan Pandit, Vinay Apte are perfect. Anita Kanwar and S.M. Zaheer are alright. Hema Malini appears towards the end of the film. 
Over All
On the whole, Aarakshan tells an engaging story with very characters taken directly from the real life. Though the film is convincing, but the running time is Tommorow may be irritating. Aarakshanworks as a film that delivers a forceful message. Don't miss it!

The Warning Review

Aagah The Warning 

 rating: **

Star cast: Atul Kulkarni, Anupam Kher, Rituparna Sengupta, Satish Kaushik, Ila Arun, Govind Namdeo, Zakir Hussain, Anang Desai, baby Jannat, Karan Razdan.

What’s Good: hardly anything!

What’s Bad: The story; the childish screenplay; the faulty Gujarati used in the dialogues; the narrative style; the dull horror drama.

Verdict: Aagaah The Warning is a disaster.

Watch or Not?: The aforementioned gist should be a warning for all concerned


Directed By:  Karan Razdan










Karan Razdan is killed by terrorists. The leader of the terrorist group, Atul Kulkarni, is also murdered soon thereafter. Karan’s little daughter, Jannat, is soon possessed by a spirit, which makes the family distraught. Whose spirit is it? What does it want? what happend now find out below:------

Omkar Investments and Aartee Films’ Aagaah The Warning (A) is a story about terror, terrorism and horror. Azaan Khan (Atul Kulkarni) trains terrorists in the name of jehad. He and his men kill the few people on board a boat, including Ram Sharan (Karan Razdan). Azaan himself is killed soon thereafter.

Back in the village, Ram Sharan’s parents, Dev Sharan (Satish Kaushik) and Dulariben (Ila Arun), his wife, Megha (Rituparna Sengupta), and little daughter, Muskan (baby Jannat), are shattered to learn of their loss. As Muskan, who doesn’t comprehend that her father is dead, goes out in search of him in the jungle, she is attacked by a spirit which possesses her and makes her do strange things. The family is distraught but unable to do much. Ashrafbhai (Anang Desai), a maulana, directs Dev Sharan to Peer Jammatuddin Shah Baba (Anupam Kher), saying, he might be able to cure Muskan. But Peer Shah Baba fails.

Then, one night, a strange thing happens. The spirit attacks the family and when it is counter-attacked by Megha, it escapes through the chimney. But before escaping, it writes something on the wall of their house in a language which only Peer Shah Baba can read.

Directly or indirectly, terrorism has influenced the lives of all and sundry. The issue has been portrayed in numerous motion pictures. Yet another film on terrorism may seem tedious, which is why, I presume, Karan Razdan must have added an unexpected twist to the story of his new film THE WARNING. Replicating the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai at the very commencement, the writer-director merges supernatural and the concept of karma in the plotline of his new endeavor.


However, let me add, the emphasis in THE WARNING isn't on terrorism alone, but supernatural as well. Souls don't die… People communicate with the dead… At the same time, THE WARNING doesn't make you shriek, like most films that tackle the issue of supernatural do, since it's only towards the finale that the identity of the spirit is revealed. An interesting concept, indeed! 


Director Karan Razdan had a wonderful premise on hand, but the screenplay, penned by him, doesn't do justice to a refreshing thought. Cinematography is alright, although the locations are eye-catching.

Anupam Kher enacts his part with fervor. Satish Kaushik, Ila Arun and Rituparna Sengupta are talented actors all, but the characters don't give them scope to rise beyond a point. Besides, making the characters deliver lines in Gujarati appears odd. Jannat is strictly okay. Atul Kulkarni is hardly there. Zakir Hussain doesn't impress. Ditto for Govind Namdeo. Anang Desai and Karan Razdan are passable. Suhas Khandke gets no scope.


On the whole, Aagaah The Warning is a poor show.

I am Kalam! Movie review

:I am Kalam:

 Rating: *********

Star cast: Harsh Mayar, Gulshan Grover, Pitobash Tripathy, Husaan Saad, Beatrice Ordeix, Meena Mir, Sanjay Chauhan.

What’s Good: Master Harsh Mayar’s natural performance; the well-intentioned subject; the cinematography.

What’s Bad: The slow pace of the narrative; the botched climax; lack of emotions in the drama.

Verdict: I Am Kalam will get critical acclaim and appreciation from the classes but its box-office prospects are rather dull.

Watch Or Not?: Watch I Am Kalam for Harsh Mayar’s performance.


Directed By: Nila Madhab Panda

Chottu (Harsh Mayar), a young and smart boy, works at aroadside dhaba in Rajasthan. Inspired by President APJ Abdul Kalam, Chottu wants to study further but cannot as his family is very poor. Incidentally, he makes friends with the young son of the erstwhile Maharaja of the area.??????????????

I am Kalam (and I am not a scientist?), is the story of a little boy, Chotu (Harsh Mayar), who works with his jolly uncle Bhati mama-sa (Gulshan Grover) at a dhaba in a dusty touristy small town inRajasthan. The place is embellished with yawning camels and local instruments are blown out of proportion to make for a background score. Chotu's work mate is the characteristically human earwig, Haddi/ Laptan (Pitobash Tripathy) whose presence is more inconsequential than a few pots and pans used at the dhaba. But Chotu's rather controversial relationship is his friendship with the minor heir of the land, kunwar-sa (prince) Ranvijay (Husaan Saad). Predictably, the two find each other's lives intriguing and magical. Chotu loves to study and Ranvijay has the books. You do the math.

As soon as Chottu starts working at the dhaba, he earns the admiration of Bhati and the foreigner guests at the dhaba because of his intelligence and flair for languages. He also spends a considerable time reading books and listening to the speeches of the president of India, APJ Abdul Kalam, which he finds inspiring. Chottu even starts addressing himself as Kalam. The simple-minded Laptan grows jealous of the attention Chottu has been getting.

Chottu also befriends Ranvijay (Hussan Saad), the son of the erstwhile Maharaja of the area, and the duo spends a lot of time together, playing and studying, in spite of the Maharaja (Sanjay Chauhan) asking his son not to spend time with kids who do not belong to the same class. Chottu also endears himself to Lucie (Beatrice Ordeix), a French lady, with whom Bhati is secretly in love. Lucie promises Chottu that she’d take him to Delhi to meet the president.

Soon, Chottu’s dreams start crumbling one by one. A jealous Laptan burns his books; Bhati, who is emotionally hurt to learn that Lucie is a married woman, slaps Chottu; his secret friendship with Ranvijay is exposed; and he is taken by the Maharaja, to be a thief, is beaten and asked never to come back into the heritage hotel, where the Maharaja stays, ever again.

While the film deals with the serious issue of education for all, this topic has loomed large over our country for long enough to have any novelty. Now, it just seems like a desperate plea for global attention.

Singham Movie Review

Star Cast: Ajay Devgn, Kajal Agarwal, Prakash Raj, Ashok Saraf, Sachin Khedekar, Sonali Kulkarni

Directed by Rohit Shetty

Rating: ******

What’s Good:  Ajay Devgn as a Actor, out-of-the-world confrontation scenes; extraordinary dialogues; performances par excellence,superb action.

What’s Bad: Nothin, May be something!!! 

The film is a remake of the Tamil film of the same name. Yunus Sajawal’s screenplay is fast-paced, especially once the drama between Singham and Shikre begins with their first confrontation. The earlier part of the film is devoted to establishing the characters of Singham, his parents, the local people of Shivgad, Shikre, Kavya and her family members who come to Shivgad from Goa, etc. While some portions of this part are very interesting, the other portions, especially the romantic drama between Singham and Kavya, aren’t equally so. Even the romantic portions have their highs and lows – some parts are entertaining, others are less entertaining. The pace picks up once Singham objects to Shikre’s man signing the register at the police station. From there on, the screenplay is so taut and engrossing that there’s not even a second when the viewer would want to take his eyes off the screen. The drama is both, thrilling and entertaining – thrilling because of the high-voltage drama between Singham and Shikre, and entertaining because of the comedy, mainly by Shikre. In other words, Sajawal’s screenplay after the romantic portion is established, is outstanding. Farhad-Sajid’s dialogues are brilliant and many of them will draw thunderous applause from the audience. In fact, each and every confrontation scene between Singham and Shikre is bound to bring the house down, so wonderful are the sequences and so powerful are the dialogues. No doubt, several dialogues are spoken in Marathi but even if they can’t be understood by the non-Marathi speaking population, they will be enjoyed by that section because the context of those dialogues will be clear even without knowledge of the language. Also, the Marathi dialogues don’t come in the way of the comprehension of the drama.

 Many will be quick to point out the similarities between 'Singham' and the numerous air-headed Salman Khan blockbusters. But low-gravity action, punches that propel bodies into mid-air ballets and cars walking on two feet, make it obvious: 'Singham' is a remake of a Tamil film (Singam) and is directed by Rohit Shetty (who is obsessed with blowing up cars in his films). And one has to be a bit lenient with remakes as they are like miniature models of famous monuments. If your little 'Leaning Tower of Pisa' is chiseled too acute, live with it, it's just a souvenir, right?
The film is about a humble village cop, Bajirao Singham (Ajay Devgn) who enforces law like a preschool moral science teacher. All accused and convicts are let off with a warning, as they're usually his friends and/or belong to the good ol' gaaon ki mitti, which is later distinguished from shehar ki dhul through a clichéd reference.
Our docile Singham also has a sanki (Marathi for 'retarded') side that surfaces on encountering 'out-of-gaaon' outlaws. This is an elaborate affair involving gnashing of teeth, clenching of fists and is welcomed with double bass dhols beating to the title anthem, 'Singham, Singham' (can be comfortably replaced with 'chewing gum..').
Singham also flexes his perfectly sculpted body to slap-whack-smash goons who try to get fresh with Kavya (Kajal Agarwal), a family friend, who plays quite 'easy to get' and swiftly falls in love and establishes herself as the female lead.
But Singham's turning point is when he meddles with certified politician cum criminal, Jaykant Shikre (Prakash Raj), who terrifies very little, amuses a lot and loves to do the Cha-cha-cha with just his thumb. The action moves to Goa as Jaykant gets Singham transferred and conveniently enough, his lady-love, Kavya, happens to be based out of the beach state as well. Jaykant's one-liners and silly pranks have Singham flustered enough to almost break down. Naturally, like every self-respecting action hero, Singham gets into his 'crouching bandar' mode and lets his fists deliver his remaining dialogues.
The film's assumption that mispronunciation is funny makes us endure words like honest (with a loud 'h'), clean cheet (clean chit), noun-saans (nonsense) and sooocide (suicide). The dialogues are spouted with immense enthusiasm but the words defuse the intensity and make them seem trivial.
Devgn does a fair job and conveys sufficient conviction and humility through his character. Kajal Agarwal makes an unobjectionable debut and her eyes would surely inspire a few compliments. Being pitched as a clean cut action film, the fights sequences could be credited as Rajinikanth-meets-Salman-Khan-meets-Red-Bull-man.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Movie Review

15 July, 2011 (NDTV)

Cast : Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif, Farhan Akshta, Abhay Deol, Kalki Koechlin

Music : Shankar/Ehsaan/Loy

Director : Zoya Akhtar

Producer : Ritesh 

Rating: ***
Films dealing with life-altering epiphanies are always shot in stunning locations. And Hindi films dealing with the same, need a stunning cast as well. A possible rationale: beautiful places relieve stress and bring things into perspective. And beautiful people experiencing divine realizations can hold your perspective on the screen, often resulting in a 'ka-ching' sound at the box office. 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' (ZNMD) is one such film.
In true 'Hangover' meets Vikas-Krishna-Barcelona spirit, the film deals with a bachelor adventure marinated with stories of finding, losing and forgetting love. Kabir (Abhay Deol), an affluent construction tycoon is about to take the marital plunge. But not before he completes a much-postponed trip with school buddies, investment banker (and constantly grumpy) Arjun (Hrithik Roshan) and freestyle flirt Imraan (Farhan Akhtar).
So, the boys with biceps shoot off to Spain, a land where sunny means a summery glow and not sweaty and stinky, much like an AC studio in Mahalaxmi. Now, the deal is that each would pick a secret adventure sport and the others would have to join him at it.
The problem arises when Kabir's fiancé, poisonously possessive Natasha (Kalki Koechlin) lands up in Spain suspecting a wild orgy (don't get your hopes up, there aren't any). Soon, Kabir takes over as grumpy and Arjun finds hope underwater, as spunky skiing instructor Laila (Katrina Kaif) shows him corals and also offers morals like 'seize the day' and 'live in the moment for you could die tomorrow'. These prophetic pearls of wisdom (from the rough draft of Guzaarish 2?) pierce through Kabir and he realizes how he cherishes things besides money. On Arjun's exaggerated revelations, Imraan remarks, "Ek hi dubki mein zindagi ke saarein raaz khul gaye? Tujhe toh underwater hi rehna chahiye." But then Imraan only spends his screen presence saying and doing things that would be considered unacceptable or just down-right silly in adult society.
The film isn't as simplistic as it seems and each character has a back story and internal conflicts that surface intermittently between thrill-seeking stunts, sugary love, drunk talking and some seriously childish pranks. What is aesthetic in this film apart from the charming Spanish countryside is that scenes which would usually be served with heightened melodrama are quite well contained and subtle, yet convey the emotion.
The music is hummable but the choreography usually finds Abay Deol playing the part of 'Senorita'. Farhan's comic timing is immaculate but his shayari is cocaine-infused and like a soft murmuring background score it could lull you to sleep. Kalki is deliciously annoying as her character required her to be and Katrina's performance doesn't make or break this film. The film's overall humour quotient is not very high and is mostly situational and there are usually more people laughing on the screen than in the audience.
In a tasteful manner, ZNMD has managed to do for Spain, what 'Dil Chahta Hai' did for Goa, beautifully selling the beaches, babes, tomatoes, tortillas and thrilling adventure sports. Spaniards should only be cautious that this tourism AV doesn't do to their country what the malls did to the mills of Lower Parel. Do I hear McTacos?
