    well you see these same group of people in almost all big releases...and here you have hritik who is star attraction...i doubt it would have pulled same sort of crowd if instead of him someone like akshaye khanna/arjun rampal etc was there...

    and for twists and turns ..and friendship..have seen better stuff then that..in bollywood only...i am not saying the movie is bad...but yea its good for a one time watch,and not boring also...

    i dont blame you for going all :wOOtjumpy: since you had those three hunks in the movie :Pcouples are there ...for :naughty: reasons

    college buddies there..bunking classes...

    kids there...because their parents thought atleast 3hrs they will be stuck somewhere and not running here and there...

    grannies there..so that they can look after the kids and have their popcorn

     

     

    waah obaid bhai.. what an analysis !!

     

    Ab aap mere liye sirf horse dhoondh ke aa gaye ho to prince to mujhe dhoondna padega na.. I now have a checklist ready for my prince charming.. :) Thankyou ZNMD.

    No.. ZNMD is NOT Hangover , Rock on or Dil Chahta Hai.. It is what it is.

     

    Coming from a woman director..it still does not suffer from the chick flick shadows.

     

    It is truly an honest effort to bring friendship, true purpose and take a chill pill as you enjoy life philosophy on celluloid.

     

    I agree that movie is slow in parts but beautiful location, awesome camaradie by the three truly delicious hunks make up for it. The film isn't as simplistic as it seems and each character has a back story and internal conflicts that surface intermittently between thrill-seeking stunts, sugary love, drunk talking and some seriously childish pranks.

     

    There are charateristics in Imran, Kabir and Arjun, Laila and even Natasha that one can relate too.. They were all real and not typical bollywood hero and heroine.

     

    I couldn't help but remember Vicky Christina Barcelona..as I was watching this movie.. Spain is added to my "Places to Visit before I die" list. ZNMD did for Spain what DCH did for Goa.. I am sure all friend would love to go visit Spain after watching this movie.

     

    People are loving it. The theatres are packed and houseful for all shows since last friday. There were grannies and kids, and couples and college buddies all watching and enjoying the movie. No gaalis, no tamasha, no sex or adult jokes.. pure cute fun.

     

    As for me, I thought I loved Abhay, Farhan and Hrithik equally.. Now I know who my ultimate bollywood crush of this year is.. He is Mr. Farhan Akhtar. The man has some timing, sex appeal, thoughtful eyes, stupid grin and ruffled hair..Ooh! And his poetry in the movie..though may sound cocaine infused ..are truly the ones I like.

     

    I will surely buy the DVD of this movie.

    I wholeheartedly second Tyler. My fiancée (no exception like the average woman haters-of-their-bf/fiances-gaming passion) too doesnt like me spending time with my PS3. Its true that women find it difficult to accept any activity in which their bf/hubby/fiance dont include them or where they think the hobby to be sheer waste of time like gaming which almost all chicks hate to the marrow of their bones, they would eventually start nagging, arguing or even threatening to throw the game discs (my case).

     

    So far my chick has only purchased me one ps3 title (Tekken 6) that too when i was starting at the disc miserably and she figured it out that how badly i wanted it. Morever, my b'day was due which i think made her purchase it. Otherwise, like Tyler, LSG10 and others have reiterated, she too thinks that money spent on games is utter waste and its better utilized if spent on "meaningful" stuff...like what ? her clothes, shoes, spa, parlour, home decor (you see Megz demands are no different :rofl:) Its not that i persuade her to try her hand at games (dont expect her to use the DS3 and that too for hardcore shooters that fill my collection) like Sports Champions, High velocity bowling and other move titles, but even then she doesnt want to stand and wave her hands and move around in front of the eyepet camera to play the game. So, IMHO, girls somehow find videogaming to be incompatible with their DNA configuration.

     

    And not everyone is lucky like Cycle bhai to have a highly understanding and kewl wife :thumbsup:

     

    However, i am trying my best to get my girl try the move games and i should succeed this weekend in all probability after downing a few pegs of Johnnie Walker Black Label down her throat :bigyellowgrin:

     

     

    Arey.. I dont want my guy to not buy games and buy me stuff instead.. That would be selfish.. But things may change. I am sure opinion and priorities change after marriage. Cyclop Bhai is super lucky!!

    The choice of music in the shootout was good but action was terribly bland. Just four guys at opposite ends of a corridor shooting at each other in ultra slow-motion. I'm not sure it was meant to be realistic or what. The rest of the movie is so heavily stylized so I guess realism wasn't what they were aiming for. Not to mention the whole scene was pointless and adding nothing to the plot. Shootout At Lokhandwala had much better action shot in similar environments.

     

     

     

     

    I hated that part. Way to stereotype gamers <_<

     

     

    You know I was surprised... I actually asked my friend if the gamers in general are like that?? Was funny but sick!!

    ya that sequence was amazing, the music, the action, the ultra slow mo shots. the performances were great as well esp by rajeev, its a damn shame he doesnt do/get many films, he was brilliant in aamir as well. i also thought the humor was better than Delhi Belly.... "Suck my dickra'', ''Dildo paagal hai'' :lol:

     

     

    Yeah.. Aur yeh video game khelta hai.. phir khud se bhi khelta hai.. Lolz

    :lol:

     

    Better to be forever alone than live in constant nagging. :P

     

    I remember when I was coming down to Delhi from Lucknow in Shatabdi. So there they have all chair cars instead of normal berths. From the seat where I was sitting, could see some 5-7 couples sitting in the opposite rows ahead of me. And what struck me instantly was that most of the husbands & wives weren't talking to each other. If the wife's looking east, the hubby is heading west. One of the couples were having a fight over their baby. :|

    And then I did put a question regarding the need of marriage in front of my mom, dad and some of their friends. After a long (and tedious) discussion, what everybody agreed to (barring the necessary evils of love, satisfaction, sacrifice etc etc.) is there are 2 times in life you feel the need to a companion. Once when you are young (read teenage and nobody understands you) and the other when you are old (and again nobody understands you ! :P)

    I know I will be pelted with issues of loving each other & how fighting and making up makes the relationship stronger n all and you need to understand your partner etc etc. but still have no regrets with bachelorhood. After marriage, your priorities change & livelihood becomes a mundane chore.

    This might be an immature post according to most married men out here, but I really don't see any point in getting married, living in a hunky dory world for a couple of years and then being pelted with responsibilities. And I'm not the kind who shies away from responsibilities, I just avoid them if they aren't necessary ! :P

     

     

    With the time you spend on this thread and in observing married couple.. I am sure you secretly are "Dying to get married"

     

    Beta, Mann mein ladoo phoota??

    Okay let me put it this way.... a standard console game costs 2.5K - that according to most women is very expensive for something that is a hobby. Now an avid gamer would typically buy at least two to three games a month. That according to most women is a lot of money no matter how much you're earning. Those ~5-6K (in my case slightly more than that) could've been used elsewhere. Like buying new clothes or putting it in FD etc etc. She herself saves a lot of her earnings and expects me to save more as well. Which is a fair expectation. But that "more" is usually never enough.

     

    You're right, talking about it does help to some extent... but only when things are hunky dory, which isn't all the time. The first time there's a conflict or an argument about expenses or anything for that matter, your gaming costs are bound to come up during the discussion.

     

    BTW I have been caught hiding prices of games and it did upset her. Then I was honest about the reason why I did it. She said she understands and that there's no reason for me to hide things from her. And yeah she has gifted me games herself but only on occasion. I certainly can't expect her to buy me new games every month. Let's just say cyclops is a lucky dude and not all of us share that luck.

     

     

    I'm glad that you can appreciate what gaming means to a gamer and your future hubby is indeed a lucky man.

     

     

    Haha.. Thanks so much for your compliment.. My future hubby would indeed be a lucky man as long as he does not get to know how much i spend on clothes, shoes, spa, parlour and home decor'.. Looks like I will have to find a gamer as my life partner.. deal will be "u buy ur games and let me buy my stuff.. lets earn a lot and spend a lot too.. Howzzzat??"

    just finished shaitan, had the director not chickened out 2/3 of the way this, could have a truly amazing film. i would recommend watching the film for the background score and amazing camera work alone. the shootout sequence at the chawl and the Cop's opening sequence (in first person) blew me away.

     

     

    KC, Glad that you atleast liked Shaitan. The movie has awesome background score and nice cast. I wrote a detailed review here in this thread sometime back. Love the song "Khoya Khoya Chand" The way it's shot is simply brilliant.

    And the result of that is he gets nagged every time he's spotted with a new game or ends up with a "monthly budget" for games set to something that probably won't even get him one new game. Trust me, it's the only way to handle that situation. Heck I go even as far as eliminating/hiding all evidence like bills and card receipts.

     

    A woman will always think that anything that doesn't involve her and doesn't directly contribute to the well-being of the house is unnecessary expense.

     

     

     

    Thanks!

     

    I am sure you have reasons behind that approach. But if say, i find someday that my husband has been lying to me about the price of Video Games that he buys.. i will be hurt. Besides, price of a video game is not even that big an issue to lie about.. Women may nag but if you make her understand that this is something u truly love and you are mature enough to balance your expenses .. she will understand.

     

    Infact, she might buy you games herself like Cyclops wife.

    You don't understand. The thing is i wouldn't wanna go to some place X, cause a whiskey would be 400/- there. I love going to Y, cause it's 150/- there. But she like the food at X. So i tell her that the whiskey is so and so.. That's when the spending money on games issue arises. And i'm not cheating or anything, i'm just concealing the price of a game.

     

    So, drink at home. Ask wife to drive you to place X , have food there. Wife will be happy, you would have had whiskey with no extra tax. Come back home, drink some more and tell her the true price of all games you bought :bigyellowgrin:

    IVG ID : LSG10

    Gaming stuff I own : PC, PS3, X360

    Married since : May 2011.

     

    How does your spouse feel about your gaming time?

     

    Even the little time i spend on gaming, she hates it. But it's ok if i watch a movie. I don't know why :blink:

     

    Does she think those gaming figurines would come in handy for the kids to play with?

     

    I got married recently and don't have any kids, yet!

     

    And the money spent on this passion, how does she feel about it?

     

    I lie about getting huge discounts.

     

    @Megz,

     

    I have some questions to the Married ones who are also passionate about Gaming.

     

    1. Do you encourage your wife to play some videogames with you?

     

    No, I need that time to myself.

     

     

    2. Would you be happy, surprised, thrilled or scared if your wife also became a member of IVG?

     

    Depends on her intention.

     

    3. Do you encourage your wife or share her passions say may be, Saas-Bahu serial, Or Romantic YRF movie Or Cricket, Or Bhartnatyam Dance Show etc..?

     

    We do almost everything together. Apart from gaming.

     

    4. How many hours in a week you devote to your Gaming?

     

    Weekends about 5 hours in total. Maybe 2 hours during the week. I don't (read: not permitted) play everyday.

     

    5. What are three things you wish your wife would understand about you and your connection with Gaming?

     

    I have no complaints. She's right in her own way. Marriage is not very easy, but neither is it as hard as people make it sound. It's about adjusting and balancing things out.

     

    Megz questions v2 :

     

    9. If you want one game to see your wife beat you in..Which one will that be?

     

    FIFA for sure. I'll be more happy than sad.

     

    10. What changes after marriage?? As in, Me time, utilization of me time, you as a person

     

    Marriage is not very easy, but neither is it as hard as people make it sound. It's about adjusting and balancing things out.

    But i guess time(Teachers50) has reduced with the boys :(

     

    11. Would you like your kid(s) to be an avid gamer(s)?

     

    To each his own. I rather let them choose.

     

    12. Have you ever planned a surprise gift/ party/ outing for your better half??

     

    Yea, all the time! I'm Mr. Party man! :dance:

     

    My wife and me were dating for 8 years before we got married. And she tells me that she din't know how lost i was when i used to play, and NOW she know why i never used to take her calls while playing. I'm 25, and really thrilled about being married and I am ready to adjust in what ever way i can to keep the wifey happy :pwnt:

     

     

    Awww.. Cute.

     

    And congratulations Married Man..

     

    As for lying about the price of games.. IMO is not a long term-good thing since now she is your wife and not girlfriend.

     

    Try truth. It hurts in the beginning but eventually she will understand your passion and admire your honesty.

     

    Women will nag and cribb, but in their heart they really appreciate that their Man is honest to them, whether it's about that extra Ciggie, or booze night with office mates or special edition expensive games..

     

    All the Best :)
