Kamli has to be my favourite song from the Dhoom 3 soundtrack. The word Kamli, is a Punjabi word for ‘Crazy’ (or Mad). What I truly love about this song is how Amitabh Bhattacharya has used different forms of water to describe the mood and passion of the subject.

Boasting of powerful star cast of Aamir Khan. Kareena Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi and Boman Irani; and directed by the unfailing Rajkumar Hirani from the Munnabhai fame, 3 Idiots in many ways was one of the most expected movies of the year. The movie not only stood up to expectations but went on to blow away every single box office record there was.

During the weekend I watched Ghajini with my parents. I had already watched the Telugu version of the movie and wasnt really keen on checking out the hindi version, but the easy availability of tickets made me change my mind.
Firstly the bad reviews the movie has been receiving is quiet unwarranted. I felt the movie was pretty good and very entertaining. For a running time of 3 hours I did not feel distracted for much of the movie (except the songs). What I loved most about the movie was that this is one movie that can be truly said to have been “inspired” by its Hollywood counterpart. There were logically questionable events in the movie but considering the movie had a complex story (and it was already 3 hrs long) it can be excused.
