life is an impressionist painting

bollywood is back, and back with a bang! bollywood, with the physics defying stunts, logic defeating plots, unbelievable vixens, unattainable men, RACE brings it all.
I enjoyed the movie for it's sheer lack of sense and the cliff hanging suspense. the story line was not bad but a little too convoluted for the regular bolly buff.
what i fail to understand is how the women in our movies, (read: bipasha basu and katrina kaif) manage to have their hair in place irrespective of whether they have been showering or driving a convertible! the make up remains 'dior' perfect, in absolute disregard of the situation or time.
the movie was a regular mix of betrayal, tonnes of skin show which, as always, was really not required, except to compensate for the lack of acting skills in the female leads.
it is always amusing to make a note of the way the women dress, in this case, tacky and cheap dressing. does pink boots, red earrings and red nail paint read sophisticated and sexy?? the men on the other hand, (read: saif in particular) dressed impeccably in well stitched suits. wonder how they land up with the most empty of women..
no matter what happens on the personal front, work takes care of itself, irrespective of marriages, 'races', fraternal spats, romance, the work is self sufficient. the offices are plush, but somehow the bigger the business the emptier the office.
the music is bearable most of the times, while otherwise it is just a filler, like when a woman is being interrogated and she is giving her statement, why must a song be featured?? surely there are better ways of showcasing long legs and luscious lips.
men jump around defying gravity, making newton turn in his grave, women run in stilleto heels, suitcases overflow with money, alcohol remains staple, sexiness stays big.
love is all in the eyes, sexy, glamorous and all in the first sight. slit your throat, put everything at stake, die for you love.
the i don't want to lose you, i hate losers, you are the most beautiful woman ever etc etc dialogues shall maintain the light side of it!
let me not spoil this for you, watch the movie for everything it has to offer!

disclaimer: the review should be taken with a pinch of salt. just the like the movie was!

interesting, a good summary of a very fast and apparent complicated movie. the insults of bipasha and katrina are not appreciated. God gave them looks for a reason !!!!

i think you misread me. this is just how i perceived the movie to be, absolutely no negative connotations.
this is the kind of cinema made to entertain the masses and it should remain this way.
to cater to the elite cinema goers, we have enough and many more directors doing their job.

no, i did not misread you. i got it right but what i wanted to say is, although i wanted to say that tashan has set new benchmarks in the section - "made for masses" movies.it is fun, no doubt, but it will take action scenes in bollywood to new heights! :D

@ devils advocate
fun ?? how can brainless fighting and heroes flying and heroines carrying AK-47's like make up kits be anywhere REMOTELY fun ??
I personally believe such movies must be renegaded to the past or buried somewhere.
If it is true that a movie reflects society (which I pray is not true
You will be those Neanderthals of old still walking with us who feel that a club and fight is more effective then a logical understanding, peace and speech ...

i agree with kapish, to stand for wat you truly believe in is tough and something everyone should always do. voicing one's opinion is fundamental..
