The list…
…of movies that I haven’t been able to sit through:
Saawariya
Dasvidanya
Himesh’s Karzzz (we waited till the Tandoori Nights song)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (looks much deeper than it is)
There have been other movies that I have been tempted to walk out of: A Wednesday (I kept thinking it might get better, and it kept getting worse); Khuda Kay Liye (I decided it couldn’t get worse, so I might as well see the whole thing). I sat through Ghajini by closing my eyes whenever the violence began. Sat through Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi out of loyalty to Shahrukh Khan for Om Shanti Om and Chak De India.
I loved Eternal Sunshine. But it did play a role in a very bad decision I made and stuck to, in another lifetime…

i just loved this post. having had my ears chewed off on end by dumb-wits raving on and on about the new indian ‘new wave’,i finally get to see someone saying what needs to be said - agenda never a good film made…and lets not even get into the commercial terrain…
what did you think of Mumbai Meri Jaan and Khosla Ka Ghosla,tho?
