Yesterday night we went for a late showing of Hrithik Roshan (skip a heartbeat) 's movie :). For starters its been a long semester and after ages I went for a late night show.
The theater was surprisingly (not so surprising after watching the movie) scarcely populated. And there were very few Indians... again not a surprise after watching the movie. Initially, I found the movie quite entertaining. But after it ended and there was no more Hrithik to ogle at, I realized the movie was crap. Ofcourse, as you can tell, I LOVE Hrithik, but oh my god.. he couldn't stop overacting; he was on acting steroids, I swear. I am afraid he is so going to be the next SRK(Shahrukh Khan).
Hrithik, I believe is actually a very talented actor, but when these actors try to make every single scene powerful, you actually start laughing at it. Please don't overwhelm me with emotions when not needed. The only time I really liked him was when he was acting totally non callous and the last scene when he cries - now that is supposed to be a powerful delivery and he did an amazing job. The savior of this movie was the female lead, a South American actress: Barbara Mori.
On the plus side, it was very funny to watch Bollywood style action being done with white people! Thanks to my dear hubby and good friends R&S, who couldn't stop cracking jokes, and made the movie a bit worthwhile.

Tanz! Couldn't agree more with you. Given all the hype around the movie I was at least expecting it to be somewhat bearable. I hate it when so much money gets spent on the movie and so much attention is given to small details, but it almost appears that nobody gives the plot/storyline even a second thought. What a big thing to overlook like that.
Oh, and I didn't think you were capable of criticizing the great hrithik ...
