Bombay To Bangkok

my rating would be 2.5*, more fit a case of skipping but if u dont have anything better to do u might as well catch up with it (thats what i did :-)...

when the credits of a movie names nagesh kukunoor as its director and writer, expectations are higher... perhaps this is the thing which has gone against this movie... its a regular bollywood masala movie with 3-4 subplots in it, some crude sex jokes, some okayish jokes and some thai masala... bole to, kahani main emotion hai, drama hai, comedy hai, love story hai, suspense hai, thoda sa action bhi hai... perhaps u dont want that from nagesh...  music is okayish, acting is okayish... the movie says, "same same but different" but its "shame shame no different" (shamelessly modified copy from a song in the movie :-)...

overall, missing the midas touch of nagesh and the subtle sense of humor...

It is a movie with a warmth that envelopes you, the sprinkling of humour is even and leaves the audience with a smile all through the movie.

The kuknoors' blue-eye-boy shreyas talpade is natural and completely ease with the character. The surprise gift is JAMK aka JAmaal Khan, son of tha Don whose money shreyas pick and run to bangkok with a team of doctors. The Jam is then dispatched to Bangkok to rrtrieve the money. The movie than is not-so-fast-paced in the chase of shreyas pursuing the Thai girl and and the rest of the money hidden in a box .And Jam pursuing shreyas and getting involve with a Doctor.

Guys ,, watch the movie for the subtle and vibrant humour .. Jam is toooooooooooooo good. The dress, the jewellery, the overall persona of a rap singer cum  gangster is brilliant.

The movie could have done well with a tight plot and an editing, but phir bhi ,it is a kuknoors film and a trade mark of his films are that they are same same as the other movies but are differnt.

P.s : The movie is for the classes, i guess, and will not appeal to the masses

P.s : A sort  of social issue ( that of flesh trade in thailand)has been raised .
