I saw two movies on consecutive days – Shrek 3 and Cheeni Kum.
Shrek 3 was a very sweet, short movie. It does not disappoint. It is a delight to watch Shrek and Fiona and the donkey ( I am not a big fan of the puss ). Anyways it was way better than Shrek 2 but of course not as good as Shrek 1.
Last night watched the movie Cheeni Kum starring Big B and Tabu. It was a wonderful movie. I mean they have amazing chemistry between them. A 64-year old man flirting with a 34-year old woman did not seem tacky at all. Beautiful direction with great performances from both Bacchan and Tabu, made the first half of the movie a delight to watch. Big B at this age also looks debonair, with or without a ponytail and Tabu looks beautiful. The second half was an anti-climax though, I was expecting that the movie would get better and more hilarious what with Paresh Rawal coming in after the interval – but somehow it did not rise up to the expectations.
But the attempt at making a different movie was successful. And you do get tickled seeing the romance between Tabu and Big B, both of them carry off their roles with grace and charm. I would say this movie is a must-watch.

Cannot believe u liked the Shrek3, i thought thats the worst of all 3. Absolutely no story - looked like they had to put something together, barely funny - too cheesy or too tacky; u pick. But hey ...
Hi Shanu,
Everytime Ambarish is late from work, I get bored and bugged-up waiting for him to return... Actually, I will be waiting for him to give me a big hug for the day.. But today I felt like I spent my time in the ever-best way by reading all your blogs. Wonderful thoughts. The best one being the 'Jiya Dhadak Dhadak...'! You have an amazing talent.
I hope to read more for those long waiting evenings..!
Love,
Teju
Do you know something... I watched 'Cheeni Kum' twice... First day second show with Rachna and a week after that with Rohit again...and tell you what... it was even better watching the movie the second time. Bacchan is just so cool even today.... I even liked Zohra Sehgal.. apt playing 64 year old Bacchan's mom... Tabu was at her usual best. Its rare to find Hindi movies having real bold subject with a tinge of subtleness to them (as opposed to Bacchan's earlier one, Nishabdh which turned out to be a disaster).
Tingly humour... Nice to hear dialogues... Amazing picture feel in a good theatre...makes it quite a sweetener!
