One of the best ways to find out what movies are worth watching is to go by the reviews. The worse the review, the better the chances of your enjoying the movie. Of course, there are the misses, some of the more notable ones are Bollywood's "Khushi" and "Welcome". "Khushi", starring Fardeen Khan and Kareena Kapoor, will remain unforgettable because one of our group went out of the hall for at least 8 long refreshment breaks as a silent protest against what he was watching. In defense of my technique, I have to say that the promos also looked good. The problem arises when you are sitting in the hall and realize that the only memorable moments of the movie are exactly those shown in the promos.
But to continue in support of my theory, the recent release of "Ugly Aur Pagli" is a case in point. It is what I would call a 'nonsense' movie, a 'nonsense' song is like the one in 'Tashan' - "Dil Dance Maare Re'. Both are enjoyable if you leave your tag of being 'cerebral' behind. Why slot yourself as a person with a certain bent of mind? It's equally possible to enjoy a nonsense movie when you laugh at the ridiculous in it and give another movie deep thought because it revolves around some fundamental aspects of human behavior or life. Boxing oneself into the confines of a narrow or rigid mind quite eliminates all chances of reveling in life itself.
Getting back to 'Ugly Aur Pagli', Ranvir Sheorey once again shows that he has what it takes to be a good actor. And Mallika Sherawat is not half bad, except for her attempts at crying.
