This was the first film I watched and the only reason I had it even on my radar was due to stumbling across it as a recommendation via Netflix. My friend and I watched the first opening video (for the title song - linked below) and had vowed to go back and watch it when it wasn't already 10:30 on a schoo...er...work night. Weeks go by and with that time comes the release of The Guild's new music video, Game On, with it's Bollywood-inspired theme. Also...Dragon*Con 2010 where I got to meet one Sandeep Parikh.
Okay - so...now I'm home and am fighting my way through the post-Dragon*Con blues. To distract myself, I decide to browse through what's available for streaming (via XBox 360) on Netflix and run across Bachna ae Haseeno. What the hell. I'll give it a try. And that's the beginning of a wonderful relationship that, as of now, is approximately six months old and with no ending in sight.
So - Bachna ae Haseeno. Obviously, I love this movie, although now having seen approximately 65 Hindi films, it's not my favorite, but still enjoyable. In a nutshell, Raj is a "killer" (lady killer) and the movie documents his exploits with three girls, two who were in love with him (Mahi and Radhika) and one for whom he was head over heels (Gayatri). Yep - this is a love story of the romantic comedy variety. The movie stars Ranbir Kapoor as Raj, Minissha Lamba as Mahi, Bipasha Basu as Radikha and Deepika Padukone as Gayatri.
This is the opening video that caught my attention:
Hopefully, if you've stumbled upon my blog, you'll watch the video and give the movie a try.
