Fanfic: Hands, 1/1

Title: Hands
Fandom: Bollywood, movie Dus (dealing with an anti-terrorism team).
Summary: Jay was steady and nice and unlikely to make her a widow any time before she was fifty and fat. Only sometimes, she remembered Adi holding her hands.
Author's Note: There isn't much you need to know, even if you haven't seen Dus. Shashank and Adi are both on the Antiterrorism Squad. Anu is Shashank's sister. And Adi has a huge thing for her (and it looks like she does for him), only his job is dangerous and she is getting engaged to another.
I honestly have no idea where this came from. For some reason I really was caught by that bit at Anu's engagement where Adi just stares at her in the middle of the song and she looks back at him. I am an angst whore. Spoilers only for the beginning of the flick

Bollywood does action: Dus

The newest Bolly movie I watched and liked is Dus. It's quite atypical for Bollywood, and for the kind of Bollywood movie I like. It's a slick action movie, with well-choreographed action and no one trying to avenge the rape of their sister with swords. But since it's Bollywood, there's some angsting as well and some singing (Dus Bahane is stuck in my head even as it makes me laugh at the same time), though they put my favorite (and mushiest) song of the bunch in the extras. I would have loved for this to be a TV show!

Plot: The anti-terrorism squad is trying to stop the Osama-lookalike Jambwal, holed up in Canada, from doing something terrible in 7 days. But government pressure is on to drop it, so two of the officers go to Canada unofficially to sort it out. The whole thing reminds me of a pilot for a really cool show I would love to watch. And the whole, there are many subplots (sometimes too many. Did we really need to know about Suniel's kid?) and somewhat open endings go with it.

My Bollywood Guilty Pleasure: Zayed Khan

OK, I have to admit. I have a Bolly guilty pleasure. His name is Zayed Khan.

Tell Bolly fans that you love Shahrukh, Hrithik, Salman, Abhishek, they are unlikely to react with a start of surprise. Mention Zayed, and the reaction is either "who?" or "why on earth?" Yet, I think Zayed Khan is hot and charming.

Having a thing for Zayed makes me quite a rarity, if the Bolly board I belong to is any example. It's not that he has tons of haters, it's just nobody seems to care one way or another. But I think he is quite hot, though unlikely to make either John Abraham or Arjun Rampal relinquish "the best looking man in BW" tag, and he is a decent actor, though I doubt he'll make SRK tremble or Big B cower in dismay.

It was like at first sight when he appeared on the screen of the delightful Main Hoon Na, ratty long hair, tattered clothes, and a cocky grin, and burst into the first musical number of the movie. He played a rebellious but good at heart younger brother of Shahrukh Khan and I adored him. I knew guys like that in college. Then I saw him in Vaada. He was dreadfully cute if you got over the fact that he was a psycho that basically hounded the poor heroine to death. And my love was completed when I saw Dus the other day, where he played a goofy bomb expert angstily in love with Dia Mirza.

Here's the pictorial proof I am not wholly insane. Or maybe that I am:
