^^ Thats the reason I loved the 3d aspect. They could have gone and done a disney theme park ride thing where stuff flies towards you non stop for 2 hours in 3D but instead choose the more subtle path. Its always there but its almost never in your face distracting you from the film. Instead it forms a nice little background for the movie. I love the "field of view depth" it gives the whole movie.

 

Maybe it takes time for stuff to grow on you. I didnt much care for Shrek the first time I saw it but after each viewing afterwards I liked it a little more. As far as Pixar are concerned I loved everything they have done.

spare me god for i have sinned. i took my wife to watch Dil Bole Haddippa.

 

i tortured her poor soul for 3 hours, subjecting her to misplaced feminism rant, over the top indo-pak friendship spleen in brighter than sun patented YashRajFilms colors.

 

oh Cricket. Yes god, i abused the game of cricket by seeing a movie in which all main characters are all rounders. Players like Imran Khan and Kapil Dev are rushing to their graves prematurely, so that they could spin in their graves. A movie in which a T20 runs for 8 hours (or at least seems like it); and 4 runs are scored to win on the last ball by great

running between the wickets. Who needs a good shot when they can run 4

 

 

Lord i also had the insolence to ignore her pleas to leave the movie after the first 20 minutes. Subjecting her to watching in horror as the cast hammed and hawed from cliched scene to another, made mockery of their talents to satisfy the commandements of a YRF film.

 

No punishment would be less, so i shall accept your wrath in any form as you deem fit.

High time we need to make cricket based movies based from the bowling side's perspective :arigato:

 

I would like that. A thrilling film where we get to see a spinner bowl a tight spell of 24 overs and return with the figures of 5-74.

Has there every been a movie that has a cricket game/theme that hasnt been a total cliche? Right down to needing a boundary of the last ball.

in all fairness, the climax has to be nerve wracking/ tense and a hyperbole for the match; so most game based movies (not just cricket) have some equivalent of 'boundary needed of last ball'.

 

its the treatment (as achillef) says of the whole movie, and how that movie has built up to that point which is supposed to tip the iceberg; that make a great sports based movie.

Watch Awwal Number. It's india's first and only Sports-Crime-Comedy.

Aamir plays Sachin, Aditya Pancholi gives Villainous bites and Dev Anand delivers lulz :panic:
