So, I saw the movie yesterday. I vaguely remembered reading a review of the movie some time back which described it as a "romantic comedy involving a gay couple" potrayed by Lisa Ray and some chick called Sheetal Seth. Now I hadn't pre planned on watching the movie, but it so happened that CC and I reached PVR phoenix with the intention of watching Ugly Truth (the "intention" was solely mine, CC was just taciltly reluctant company). Nyhoo there were no immediate shows for Ugly Truth so CC became very excitable bout the propect of watching District 9. I tried (dint have to try a lot though!) n convinced CC to watch I Cant Think Straight (who wants to watch an alien/ETs type documentary which flashes "Humans not allowed" or something like that!!-Not me for sure). The movie, I thought, was a very contrived effort by the director (Shamim Sarif) with a very predictable storyline. The chemistry between the two protagonists was non-existent. Their love making scenes made me cringe and did nothing for the storyline. They were amateurish and were nowhere near the believable gay chemistry one could watch without squriming in their seats between Angelina Jolie and Elizabeth Mitchell (Gia) or even Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci (Monster). Atleast I thought so. And what was Dalip Tahil doing in the movie anyway? All in all, you may watch this movie if the next best option that you have for a Sunday evening is to watch a re-repeat of Filmfare Awards/Star Awards/IIFA Awards etc.etc.
Other than that....well today is the b'day of two very close friends of mine...but unfortunately they are both out of town!! And please do get "Ride It" by Jay Sean...I am all for Brit (Indi- if I may say so) Pop!
Until then...

i have ride it....love the title track...also the hindi mix version!
AND my sis went to watch "District 9"!! She thought a movie with UFO on its poster wud be FUN to watch!!
Did she like it (District 9?).
she is still recovering from trauma...and to help her with that i had to listen to the entire story....the idea was to make me understand how creepy it was!!
I too saw District 9, I thought it was rather morose. Underneath the Aliens and Sci-Fi Facade, its really about how cruel humans can be, in pursuit of their greed (Nasty, Savage, Brutish). Kinda like Black Hawk Down, though a little toned down.
