Pls do not disturb


I am always sceptical about hyped up movies, but since I have liked almost all of Konkana Sensharma's work in the past, I decided to watch 'Wake Up Sid' even though only second row seats were available. The movie is enjoyable, a typical tale of coming of age yet superbly original. The title indicates that this is the coming of age of the character Ranbir Kapoor plays. However, the movie also subtly depicts Konkana's character's journey to being more mature and falling in love with someone she considered the complete opposite of her Mr. Right.

So we enjoyed the movie. But, what Chrys and I hadn't bargained for were some totally immature people in the audience. There were kids of course making the usual ruckus, but what got my goat were some adults behaving like teeny-boppers. These were middle aged pot bellied men, kidding around and generally disturbing everyone around. Either they had come to a multiplex for the first time or they were drunk. No amount of shushing and angry comments could make them stop.

This behaviour would have been understandable if the movie was 'Do knot disturb', the worst movie we have seen in recent times. I won't waste another word on it.

I like movies that are based on reality and not lame jokes every 2 seconds

Some movies just try too hard to be funny. But there have been some senseless comedies in the past (all with Govinda in them) that have been really enjoyable. My all time favourite is 'Hadh Kardi Aapne'. Unfortunately it bombed at the box office. Even Andaaz Apna Apna - a real classic- was sent packing within days of it's release.
