Movie Review: Game

Had heard good reviews, liked the trailers, and Kangana is one of my favourites, so having missed Game in the theatres, I caught it on DVD last night. Aaah, big disappointment.

An actor (completely wasted Jimmy Shergill), a casino owner (a stale AB Baby), a Thai PM-in-waiting (again completely wasted Boman Irani) and a crime journalist (always attractive but totally wasted Shahan Goswami) are called to the island of Samos (without the last a, it doesn't really fill your hunger pangs) by the billionaire tycoon Malhotra (Anupam Kher, yes, wasted too). Why? Don't bother to think about it. When he is found shot dead in his room, along with a burning will, the International Crime Force something something Kangana Ranaut knows there's a lot more to it than meets the eye... by this time, I was dropping asleep, so maybe it did miss my eye...

Anyway, the point is, someone's playing games, and you are welcome to watch... the good news is, it ends pretty quick.

Kangana, you are better off playing the slightly crazy lover... the smart and sexy policing can be left to the Priyankas and the Deepikas... too much image at stake here, you see?

Why do you watch bad movies if you know they are getting worse, as the minutes go by, I mean....why do you still sit through till the end?
You know you don't get that time back, don't you?
I have never read on here, that you walked out of the theater because the movie was plain bad :-)

Oh come on, I have walked out of multiple movies.. but in this case, I was home, and slept through part of it...

On the other hand, on a hot afternoon, what better options do I have compared to gorging on awesome masala puri with good friends in the comfort of a nice, cool theatre? :)

Agreed. :)
Just thought life is too short to sit through bad movies.
