More Trailer trailing
Lakshya has started doing the rounds of the tv channels. The sole spot unusually
repeats almost every 5 minutes in the usual slots (unusual, for promos don't
appear so regularly, especially when they've just been introduced). True to the Farhan
Akhtar method, new hairstyles for the pre-draft Hrithik Roshan and also for Preity Zinta.
Rockish guitar riffs are conspicuous in the background.

Main Hoon Naa gives me more reason to react harshly against Farah Khan whose
typically frothy choreography I identify with the Karan Johan candy mill mafia. Unless the
college in her directorial venture teaches dancing *and* cheerleading, I don't see
why there are so many pom-poms and FK troupe members doing acrobatics per square inch
of frame. Another addition to the Riverdale High type Sharmistha Roy (assuming it is
she who's doing Art for this film) collection. On the positive note, I quite liked the
"looks" in "Gorii Gorii" (Sajid Khan gets rehabilitated) and "Tumse Milke Dil Ka"
(I don't think it's the song title), esp. the consistent glossy colours used in the latter. But Mr. Malik
undoes some of the good work - with his voice in the first and the "qawwali" attempt.

Hum Tum has Rani Mukherji (didn't know this was her spelling version of her
surname) sporting a cool look (good contrast to
Yuva (incidentally, notice
how Tamil directors keep casting her as the everyday Bengali lady?) ) and Saif Ali
Khan (who's sadly typecast, I'm afraid - was he the same guy from
Ek Hasina Thi?).
This is obviously the promised Bollywood version of
When Harry Met Sally and
considering that this is a Yash Chopra production, I know each sparkling dialogue
from the original will be re-incarnated as song and dance, albeit not so successfully.
I'll be happy to be proved wrong.
