I spent my 3-day weekend with many heart-throbs.


I wish. Though, I think the above photo has some major Photoshopping potential. ;)

However, tt was awesomely filled with many movies.

I watched Guru. It's the story of Gurukant Desai, a man who worked his way from as a humble villager to a billionaire president of a clothing conglomerate in India. Abishek Bachan plays the lead, and eventually marries the Aishwarya Rai character. They have this lovely song together. I also like "Gurubhai's" theme song before he rocks on and show his strength before any barriers.

I also watched Salaam-E-Ishq. It really is like Love Actually, Indian-style. It tells the stories of six couples, in different stages of life and love. John Abraham and Vidya Balan's story-line was the best. The movie was a bit too long, even by the Bollywood standards, but the songs are just too good. I think the movie would have been much better if they only had the stories of the three couples.

Then, there was Traffic Signal. It's a non-conventional Bollywood movie about that exposes the "truth" behind the begging "industry" in India. You know where you're in a car in India (or BD), and the traffice light never seems to change soon enough. And then you're accosted by girls selling flowers, women with babies, and boys selling newspapers...well, there's a whole social web behind all that, and it was pretty interesting. The movie would have been better if the first half had subplots that actually fit together nicer. Konkona Sen again shows her ability to play a wide variety of character; remember her in 15 Park Avenue. And did you know that her mother is Aparna Sen?!
