Tashan - Sasura what an experience!

The slick promos and the Dhoom-2-stlye posters did do a lot to generate interest in the movie. I was excited about seeing the new-and-improved-99%-fat-free Kareena Kapoor. Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan would have been a great combination too. They would have brought back the glory days of 'Main Khiladi tu Anadi'. I was full of anticipation.

Haha! But Alas! Film-makers in India have long taken the audience to be a cross between an earthworm and a snail in terms of intelligence. But Tashan took it to a different level altogether. Quicksand. You get the point.

I was hoping that I would see returns on the too-damn-expensive movie tickets when Kareena 'shows' up. However even that turned out to be a dud. She looked more like a Chinese famine victim (a male one at that too!) than a heroine. Sheesh! What a let down. I would really not be able to comment on rest of the movie since I could not understand what Anil Kapoor was saying. He was using a potent combination of Hindi and English, something that would have re-wired your temporal lobe. There was nothing in the movie that was not predictable, or in filmy parlance, 'hatke'. All-in-all a very unwatchable movie!

Yash Raj Films must be flush with cash to have produced this. There was just one positive for YRF here. Their marketing is now far better than their production!
