Happy New Year Review

Farah Khan is a goddess. This is solid entertainment -- a mashup of a heist film with a dance contest. It's a great ensemble cast, and I loved all the sly references to other films - like Deepika giving a "seven minute" speech a la Chak De while SRK rolls his eyes in the background. Lots of great comedic moments.

I actually saw the film twice in one day, and enjoyed it even more the second time. I saw a quiet matinee, and then a raucous big crowd showing in the evening with a friend. It was so much more fun with a crowd, as when Charlie is stumped at the password on an electronic safe, audience members shouted out the answer!

During the opening introduction of Charlie (SRK) where he is mud wrestling and then sprayed clean with water. My friend said, "Is that photoshopped?!" No, ma'am. Then I whispered back, "I love female directors!"

I love watching a comedy where you can tell everyone is really enjoying working together.
