99

I recently came across the following (true) facts:
  1. Statistically speaking, all girls in Delhi are called either a) Pooja or b) Neha
  2. All taxi drivers in Delhi are thieves
  3. Bhojpuri movies' 'dashing young heroes' are usually middle aged, balding and paunchy men
  4. There is a thriving satta bazaar in Delhi
  5. Mumbai goons have no chance against a) Delhi police and b) the Delhi chill
  6. Cyrus Broacha is funnier in real life than in a funny role

All these were gleaned from a watching of the latest (and only in a long long time!) Bollywood noveau middle house cinema offering - to wit - 99.

The movie is a good timepass watch, entertaining in parts, and with good, believeable characters (except Soha Ali Khan as the eponymous Pooja, in a role so wooden that environmental enthusiasts will embrace her as worth preservation!). Mahesh Manjarekar, Vinod Khanna, Boman Irani and a really good guy called 'Kuber' provide solid performances. The scripting is good, and the situations (while over the top) are believeable.

Definitely worth a dekko.

U forgot 2 additional things"
1) loud car music (equally loud car colours and one liners written on car hoods)
2) showing off "tum nahi jaante main kiska beta/beti hoon", "meri unchi pahoonch hai".

Dally 6 also has some nice stereotypes. Aren't you more Delhi types than Bombay types? :P

Aargh!! That was below the belt :-)

And since I dont like the assertion I'm going to turn down the loud bhangra on my car long enough to cuss, threaten and shout loudly at you :-D :-D
