Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Steineded How sad is this?

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

nkumar-33378 The music of the film is composed by Pritam while the lyrics are penned by Irshad Kamil. There are two other songs which was seen itself in the movie but it was not released. One of them is sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal and is a romantic track by Pritam Zara Si Mehdi,the other is sung by Shreya Ghoshal, a romantic track & quot;Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar & quot adapted from an old Hindi film. Harry paralyses his left arm during a special mission in the Tiger Hill. They both want to speak to each other but fate always brings them closer and then separates them again.i think end is average .All over i felt more interesting things can be added.

P S Pankaj Kapur is a really talented actor. Even though direction is not his forte, its not unreasonable to have high expectations from an artist of such caliber. The movie starts really well making you feel its a winner. Then comes the feeling that plot is moving bit slowly. You brush it aside as minor flaw and look forward. Finally, after long wait, you expect and want the movie to wrap up soon and you see an intermission flashed on screen. What???? And then follows strings of impossible coincidences. Not once but again and again and again. Topped by desire to have Shahid in every frame of movie and including all depressing religious flashpoints from Kashmir to 9/11 to Gujarat, into a love story finally killed it completely. I felt sad not from the movie but from the fact that it could have been such a good movie. The idea of showing important world evens in the backdrop of a love story is not new. I have seen it executed well in many movies. Can't recall which one was the first and best. But this is the worst. You got to know when to stop. Also, the idea is to write love story and then fit world events that could be plausible. This script decided on sort of unconnected events scattered around the world and then tried to fit the love story around it throwing logic and common sense out of window!!! You got to know that you are losing the grip over logic. Well, lack of common sense is indeed common. In the end despite all the money and technology the Bollywood is really short of basic ingredients of art and originality. There is kin promotion everywhere including Hollywood. However, if kins are only ones everywhere around in almost every Bollywood movie, you know it has really gone too far.....

Vikas SS The promos of 'Mausam' seemed reasonably promising. It had been a long time since there was a film that had a simple-sweet romantic theme as it core sans metropolitan complexities. They had ruled the box office in the 90's, and were a rare breed now. And this one failed to break the trend and this 'Mausam' ran into bad weather. Replete with every cinematic cliché around, the film is actually a thesis on Bollywood clichés. The film begins in the early 1990's in a Punjabi village with the usual clichés of mustard fields and the mandatory celebratory song and dance numbers. It is here that our local boy Harry (Shahid Kapoor) meets Aayat (Sonam Kapoor) who has just arrived from Kashmir seeking refuge with a relative there. Soon, love blossoms with not many words being exchanged but by passing love notes; old school romance, you see! Within days, Harry expresses his love for her. Just when you wonder about what's going to happen next, Aayat disappears from the village without a trace and without answering his question. Cut to 7 years later in Scotland by when Harry is an Air Force Pilot and Aayat is an aspiring Ballerina and the latter's family has been affected in 1992 Babri demolition and 1993 Mumbai riots. The couple rekindles their love. Now that the two are together, you at least hope for an interval, but the audience has no luck yet. There's more! This time Harry disappears from the scene for the 1999 Kargil war and becomes disabled. The two lose contact yet again. The tragedies don't just end there. There's the 2011 WTC attack and the 2002 Gujrat riots too. Strangely, Aayat has the uncanny ability to find herself in every conflict around the globe. As they meet and go apart umpteen times, strangely, they are unable to reach one another although they have the telephone numbers of those they know in common. The film can use the alibi that the story predates Facebook or Orkut. And during the process, the film feels to go on forever, or will it end at all? Granted, there are some songs that help it, but the pain of sitting through this film is simply traumatic. The clichés just don't end there. For a happy ending, the hero has to single-handedly fight hordes of villains and save the damsel in distress. And when he is done with it, he saves a child stuck on a ferris-wheel and regains his disabled hand! And lo, there is a white horse on the scene that also needs to be saved. In the end, the two are united and start a family with the ferris-wheel kid and the horse tags along too.Although set in the 90s, it may have worked better in the Black and White era. Probably Shahid's father Pankaj Kapur's wet dream to make a romance flick since his childhood but could manage the money only now. Obviously, the clichés in this film don't work anymore now. I'm not saying that clichés don't work; only the formula has changed. Those that work are more of the likes of 'Ready' or a 'Singham'. Keep Out!

Sid This movie hands down beats all the BAD movies I've seen so far. Though I wasn't so hopeful after the first half, I gave the movie a fair second chance in second half to redeem itself. I tried to see movie with an open-mind thinking I mightn't be getting something and this really is an epic in the making which my immature mind couldn't fathom. I tried to look engrossed. Half an hour into the movie in the second half, I gave up any pretensions of engrossment when I saw some in the audience yawning, cursing and using expletives which I'd rather not mention.Pankaj Kapur has been exposed as a Wannabe who needs a reality check on his capabilities as a director. He's brilliant as "Mussadi Lal" in "Office Office" and should stick to being that. Everyone involved in the making of this movie had very high expectations (of themselves) and thought of themselves as Tees Mar Khan(that was a flop, too). This movie should be included in the Movies Library on how not every Tom, Dick, Harry and Mussadi can't be a director. Pankaj Kapur should've burned his hands on small, modest ventures before setting about to arson this Movie Producer's life savings with this Wannabe Magnum Opus.Now, about the movie which this team intended. An eternal epic Love Story transcending time, continents, religion, hardships germinating from an idea of interweaving a love story around all the communal, war and terrorist events around the world. The only thing epic about this movie is its length (3 hours of pure Chinese torture).The Lovers miraculously appear in the eye of the world altering events just before they happen. Suspicious minded in the audience will be forced to think if one of them is covertly involved in it. There was a moment when I was expecting Sonam Kapoor to say "My name is Ayaat and I'm not a terrorist". Pankaj Kapur should've thought on that lines too after this Love Story fell flat on its face.Both the lead characters are shown to be globetrotters who just couldn't sit at one place. Sonam Kapoor's character is one step ahead. She likes to move from one place to another after each tragedy and start life from scratch. Just keeping the count on the number of times she moves makes my grey cells shrink. Let's try with reasons: From Kashmir to Punjab (Reason: Terrorism), Punjab to Mumbai (Reason: Unknown/for uncle to get killed in Mumbai Blasts/Babri Masjid issue, but how?), Mumbai to Scotland (Reason: Unknown), Scotland to Punjab (Reason: To find Kapur), Punjab to Ahmedabad (Reason: Unknown), Ahmedabad to Scotland (Reason: Unknown), Scotland to USA (Reason: Unknown/Waiting for 9/11), USA to Switzerland (Reason: Stopped for questioning post 9/11 /to get stranded on a deserted platform on a mountain), Switzerland to Ahmedabad: (Reason: Unknown/Waiting for Godhra).The lead pair meet and get separated, meet and get separated again and this Separation-Reunion saga continues for at least 3 counts (actual count, I didn't bother after 3). Poor Souls just couldn't keep track of each other and get separated even though there was no Kumbh Mela involved. It's hard to imagine how dim-witted the lovers could be to achieve that feat in this age of advanced communication. The movie is set from 1992-2002 (mobiles and emails were available from 1996 onwards) but at the point of juncture, the pair preferred to communicate through good old letters or no communication at all (Shahid Kapur couldn't spare two minutes to intimate her eternal soul mate that he's been called to the Kargil War front). Considering the primitive mode of communication between the pair, the movie could've been set in the pre-independence era but then it'd have been impossible for the director to incorporate Operation Blue Star in 1984 (I think, there was a subtle mention of it), Kashmiri Pandit's migration, Babri Masjid issue, Mumbai Blasts, Kargil War, 9/11, Godhra Riots, Operation Neptune Spear to kill Laden (oops…no, that wasn't there) and what not, which are so instrumental to the movie.The movie had some really fantastic moments (pun intended) when one sees the couple having chance meetings in unexpected places like Scotland, Train on Mountain Top in Switzerland, Ahmedabad etc. What are the chances of that? One in a million and they cracked it 3-4 times. They must be soul mates and destined to meet, one must think. Only it didn't show in their chemistry. There was never a moment when I felt a lump in the throat or had teary eyes.Shahid Kapur seems in character as a village lad but doesn't look Macho enough to play an Air Force Pilot. Anyways, Macho aka Maharaj Kishanji is a Kashmiri Pandit's character played by Anupam Kher (How Sonam Kapoor nicknamed him MACHO is yet another mystery among many in this movie). Anupam Kher, only genuine talent casted in the movie is hopelessly wasted. He appears on the screen for just 3-4 scenes (which is more than only 1 in which his screen wife appears while telephoning from Jammu Station. Whatever happened to her?). Sonam Kapoor just talks in whispers. She doesn't get to shout in the movie which is like normal humans talking. Supriya Pathak Kapur (wife of the director)has the same 'in shock' expression for most of the movie as if she had a premonition about the fate of the movie.I think that entire IAF objection and hence, delayed release was hogwash to elevate the movie's hype (much like Shahrukh Khan's detention at Newark Airport for MNIK). That 30 second of supposedly objectionable sequence does nothing to lift the movie but rather nose dives the movie down much like the aircraft in the movie. The movie fails to evoke any emotion and sympathy even when the protagonist's one arm gets paralyzed.In short, it's a pretty successful failure at a disaster epic movie.
