dangermousieMovie Rec of the day is Kuch Naa Kaho. It's a breezy romantic fluffcom starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai.
The plot involves Raj (played by Abhishek) who goes back to India for the engagement/wedding of his cousin. He has little interest in marriage, but Namrata (Aishwarya) has been "appointed" by his family to find him a suitable bride. Needless to say, they fall in love, even when Abhishek discovers that she was previously married and has a child with whom he bonds. But is something looming on the horizon? This being a Bolly movie, of course it is.
So, why watch?
Well, I adore Abhi and Ash is beautiful, but there are plenty of other reasons: the plot is fun and light and delightful. It's like sinking into a warm bath. There are plenty of really funny moments (my favorite being the ways Raj gets rid of prospective brides), there is a strong feminist streak in the movie, and best of all, Raj is a movie hero I could really fall for: funny, warm, laid-back, and strong in a quiet, no-fuss way. Namrata is a lucky lady.
Flirty much?
Raj and Namrata get personal. This mysteriously gives them powers of teleportation to a raft:
Raj and a VERY ugly bit player as Raj excercises his sense of humor again:
No, don't bite my neck!
Mmm, colorful!
I want my man to set up a huge lightbulb background and dip me! Now, that's creative! :P
Raj as pretend-Dad to Namrata's kid:
Even if it means he'll have to deal with this teacher:
Raj being lackadaisical:
OK, they are drenched. Now you know they are in love:
Honestly, I don't like Rani better than you! (inside BW joke, sorry any non-BW fans reading this):
Mush:
Argh, I am scared of the blue filter!
Guuuh, she is beautiful:
