Movie Review: Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap

A tribute to Amitabh Bacchan... we grew up watching you this way... scream the rolling credits at the end of the movie.

Unfortunately, it's a very unflattering tribute. The direction sucks, the story is ghisi piti amateurish, there is a lot more glecerine than there is acting and the costumes strangle you when they don't dazzle you into temporary blindness. Hema Malini was never my favourite, but she's given much better performances in her second stint - but when all you are asked to do is pour glycerine in your eyes, what else can you deliver? Sonu Sood looks good, and Sonal Chauhan is eye candy although she should stop acting and be a model. Raveena Tandon erased all the awesome memories I had of her as the Mast Mast girl in one image shattering, regrettable performance. And who was that over grown, cry baby trying to be sweet and kiddish? Girl, whoever recommended you do this role, is not your best friend in the industry!

And AB himself. Well, he wears three watches with yellow, red and green straps. He chokes himself with mufflers under white suits. He drives a big mean machine, and some sexy convertibles. He has a reddish-brown shock of hair, a white French beard. And a paunch that's exposed in all its glory under satin Hawaii shirts. He gets PYTs to call him sexy, gives us a 5 min remix cocktail of all his songs while dancing with some scantily clad firangs, shoots bullets like Beckham, kills off an entire army of gangsters with one revolver, plays match maker, and then walks off into the sunset.

Got to hand one thing to AB though - no one can beat his voice.

Tribute? Really? Avoid it if you are a AB fan!

PS: And what's with the spellings?

But we have Prakash Raj the south Indian super actor who as usual performs superbly well... and catchy seen is the story that AB narrated to this Kabir bhai and Gang..... 3 sabak waali kahani...
1) jo tumpar gobar feke , ye jaruri nahi hai ki wo tumhara dushman hai
2) jo tumhe gobar se nikale ye jaruri nahi hai ki wo tumhara dost hai
3)jab tumhe pata ho ki tum gobar ki daldal mein fase ho to daldal se mundiii nikaal ke..appdi pode pode pode gaana nahi gaaneka....

AB rocks.... Unparallel... His style..his personality....Indian Star of the millenium for me...

Yes, PR is awesome - and if you like him, you will love Singham. I have watched that movie 6 times already, and it's one of the few where I actually love the villain :)
