Cornucopia of Bunti aur Babli pics

[dangermousie]

I am quite looking forward to Bunti aur Babli. In part because I liked the director (Saathiya), but mainly because Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee are my new and favorite on-screen BW couple. They were messed-up and passionate in Yuva, but here they are fun and capery. And their story is the whole movie, not just 1/2 or a third. Yay. Plus, first time you see Amitabh acting with his son.

It looks like a zany screwball flick. The plot: a pair of con artists swindle people using various disguises. Think Bonnie and Clyde on drugs :)

So here are pics. Lots of them. I am also xposting this to bollywood and the Bollywhat boards.

Bumpkiny-looking Abhi in one of his disguises:


But I wouldn't trust him to tell me which way is up:


In the 80s, Russian TV announcers would have envied her get-up:



Abhishek, repeat after me: "I am not a pimp. I am not a pimp. I am not a pimp. I will not dress like one."



He listened:


Don't try this at home:


And the mystery of Amitabh's different colored hair and beard continues. Make up your mind. Either all grey or all black:


Rani in the fashion-blind army:


Oooh, love the look on her face:


My fave. Because of the look on his face:


Am I going crazy, or did Bg B get highlights?


Veeru and Jai together again, singing Yeh Dosti? Except it's Jai-junior and Veeru suffered (or enjoyed, depending on your point of view) a gender change.


Rani having fun:


Awwww. *melts*


For some odd reason, Abhi looks like Victor Mature in profile:


Heee:

Wow. You updated three times while I was asleep.
She has great eyes. and colorful transportation. Sometimes, life is just not fair.

ROFL! I like to post a lot late at night or early in the mornings :) But I don't know the time zone you are in.

On the plus side, I don't think your future companion will be fond of putting on fake mustaches.

Good stuff!

I love the pictures, thanks for putting them up!

I am looking forward to this flick too, it looks like zany fun! Plus I too love the pairing of Abhishek-Rani. But I think Rani's dress designer for this film should be shot...all of her clothes are so odd.

Abhi is adorable, even in weird moustache getup.

I am so sick of Amitabh. I saw him in this trailer with Akshay Kumar for Waqt and I wanted to hit him. He was in a disco!! If you thought Akshay was too old to be in a disco, you haven't seen Amitabh! I adore the man but it's hard to remember that when he is dressed in weird clothes, shades, and is breaking into disco moves!!

I last checked my flist at around midnight, I'd guess.
It really all depends on why he would be putting on fake mustaches. I mean, one of my favorite literary characters was a detective, and he had a whole collection of fake mustaches.

Well, I guess if she is supposed to be a con-artist, dorky clothes are excusable. I will put up with a lot to see Abhi-Rani together again.

Big B is in too many movies. I like him better in something like Baghban or Black or Veer-Zaara. But his "cool" act as in KHGN? makes me realyl annoyed every time.

Who is the detective?

This guy is a con-artist so it's a disguise (yet another reason why he might not be ideal b/f material)

Have you ever read The Theif Lord? He's a character from it.

Eeee! Thanks for the pics! I'm really looking forward to this one too.

Love your comments. Thanks for getting me excited for this movie. Because honestly, the pictures and the summary were scaring me off (not that I would have missed it for the world, can't resist Rani and Abhi).

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I love the Thief Lord...I always wanted there to be a sequel.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heee. It sounds like it could be MHN-like, tongue-in cheek fun. I hope.

Same. I've read other books by Cornelia Funke, but they just weren't as good.

I'm not 100% sure whether I'll like the premise of the movie...but we'll see. I'll definitely watch Ash's item number! :)

What cute commentary... hehe. They were actually giving away tickets to this the other night, on the Indian radio station! I didn't call though, because the theatres were too far. Crazy cooincidence though. :O

That is a crazy coincidence :)
