Dhoom 2 aka Doom 2

Its a movie that has so many flaws, that you start to believe that it is an amateurish movie, of course until you have a closer look at the cast. (And yes, read this list after you've watched the movie - if you're sure of watching the movie, that is).

1. The thief never gets shot while he is being dragged by the train, and the security officer is taking shots at him.

2. The thief is being dragged by this train, and suddenly he jumps back on top of the train, hitting the security officer.

3. If the thief was trying to write an "A" across the world by the locations of his heists, why on earth was he going back to Junagarh after Mumbai?

4. What sewer lid was that got corroded within seconds? (Cast Iron lids don't corrode) And why did none of the police officers try to follow him? And how did he fly out of a sewer lid on he road a few seconds later? Did he get sufficient time to change his dress? Is he doing a Krrish again here?

5. Was the security blind that they could not see a 4"x6" Remote Controlled car moving right under their feet? Or were they all looking at the ceiling? And even when the RC dished out a 2' long arm to pick up the diamond (who keeps a diamond without enclosures anyway?). And how come the blind securitywallas didn't notice someone looking alternately at the controller and the car repeatedly?

6. How come the sharpshooter policewoman who had been tracking this thief for 2 years suddenly disappear from the movie when push came to shove?

7. How did the Snowhite's dwarfs reduce their height by a full 2 feet?

8. How did the thief fall hundreds of feet into water when "shot" repeatedly by his accomplice and survive?

To be fair, Hrithik Roshan brings good acting and some good stunts to the table. Abhishek Bachchan looks grumpy throughout the movie. Bipasha makes a quick entry and then fades away just as fast. Aditya Chopra is in the movie to provide an occassional laugh, and he does his job fairly.

If you don't mind the glaring technical flaws, well, you may just try your luck in the Cinema. You may just like it.

Else just stay way from it.

Why AajTak sucks

1. It shows more ads than news. On top of it, the quality of its ads (Pataka 502 tea, Lux Cozi undershirts, Kamdhenu TMT bars etc is downright pathetic, to say the least).

2. It repeats its content so often, that it hurts.

3. Today it covered Amitabh/Amar Singh/Abhishek/Aishwarya visit to Varanasi for a full 3 hours. It was mighty painful - India had lost just hours ago to SA, and I wanted to get a detailed coverage on that. Instead, all AajTak was showing interviews with Pandits, and its own speculations on who looked happy, who looked coy, and whatever that implied. Damned. Why don't you call yourself Aaj Tak Tabloid TV. And you kept covering that for 3 hours. Hell, had all of India been watching the TV at that time, you'd have wasted 3 billion hours of people's time.

4. Prabhu Chawla sucks big time in "Seedhi Baat". Instead of sounding an authoritative journalist and asking penetrating questions, he appears to be appeasing the guests, and begging them for some answers. Duh. Take some inspiration from Karan Thapar and Shekhar Gupta.

If someday you feel that you've been healthy and cheerful for too long, just watch Aaj Tak.

And for those, who're thinking of subscribing to Aajtak (International programming), consider yourself warned.
