A bond that has been cultivated with love for a child that was never meant to be... a child who was adopted. Rahul's adoption was a secret never discussed in the Raichand household. Ever since Rahul found out at the age of 8 years, it became the reason for his unending gratitude for his parents- especially his father. His father's every wish became a command for him. A command which he never breaks until he falls in love with Anjali (Kajol)- a bubbly girl from Chandni Chowk, who dotes on her younger sister Pooja (Kareena Kapoor). Rahul marries Anjali and brings her home but his father doesn't approve of her. Rahul thus decides to leave home causing his mother's every waking moment to be spent eagerly awaiting his return.

My Thoughts:
It was great to finally have a chance to see this movie with a good picture quality. It benefits a lot because of all the great and colorful dance numbers. This movie is one of the most well-known modern Bollywood productions. Deservingly so. Most Bollywood productions have song and dance numbers in it, but they usually are more or less thrown in. This movie is one of the few I would call a real musical. I had forgotten how much singing is in this one. Almost the complete movie is in songs. All of which further the story.
This is one of the longest Bollywood movies I own (only beaten by a few minutes by "What's Your Rashee", "Lagaan" and "Jodhaa Akbar"), but it never gets boring for a minute, even now after I watched it for the fourth time.
On Blu-ray I could enjoy it more than I did the DVD version, whose picture quality greatly suffered from having a 3.5 hour movie pressed on one DVD. I don't regret my first real Blu-ray double-dip. And as a bonus I have all the extras which were originally part of the two-disc DVD release (I only had the single-disc release).

My Thoughts:
This is a movie I just recently got for $5. From what I was able to find out is that it is a Sci-Fi Original Movie. So that right there tells me this Zom-edy (as the back of the case calls it) could be pretty cheesy. So I went into this one with pretty low expectations. And maybe that helped because I actually enjoyed this one. I enjoyed it more then I probably should have. The majority of it's comedy was making cracks at other movies and TV shows. Some of it being pretty stupid... but I found myself laughing anyway. Being a zombie movie there was of course plenty of blood and gore. Some of which looked pretty cool... but there was also some that looked pretty cheesy. Bottom line is I had a lot of fun watching this movie... even though as a movie lover I knew I shouldn't. So I guess I will have to chalk this one up as a guilty pleasure.
