Minisha Lamba vs. Dow Jones!!!!

I shall definitely explain the title (explicitly needless to add) as I proceed with my blog.
Since I've been inundated with work over the last few weeks, I thought that watching a movie would be a great stress-buster and the movie that I chose to beat my stress was Kidnap. (was it a good choice???) Yes coz it gave me the momentum to get into some light hearted writing after some serious blogging. Well as the title suggests, kids ought to nap during this one coz the leading ladies have been too generous in shedding clothes. But unfortunately for the director, adults too will nap during this one.
Imran Khan graduates from being a chocolate boy guy next door (JTYJN) to an angry young man- a la Amitabh Bachchan from his hey days. But I guess Minisha Lamba's ample cleavage show towers over his anger and the scene where he gawkily stares at her...... amidst a serious sequence with sanjay dutt is absolutely hilarious. I could kinda read his mind. What was Sanjay Gadhvi (the director-if I may add further of the super successful Dhoom series) thinking when he made me stare at Minisha Lamba who can do anything but even remotely turn on a guy!!!!!!!! Well I would like to tell him Sweetheart.. Sanjay gadhvi was not thinking at all and this movie is the biggest testimony to that. Coming back to the plot (for the director who thought that a plot existed) Minisha Lamba is the daughter of the richest Indian alive (Sanjay Dutt) and Imran Khan kidnaps her as he has some old scores to settle with her father. The director in this own words termed this movie to be an edge of the seat thriller. he is right up to the point of edge of th seat. But where he gets it wrong is the thriller part. Its actually a laugh riot coz the dialogues are so insanely mouthed by the charcters that they will definitely throw you from the edge of your seat as you are rolling with laughter.
Some of the dialogues from the movie,
Imran Khan to Minisha: This is a kidnap. Maine tumhe kidnap kiya hai. Do you know what a kidnap is??? (I guess all that was left in the scene is presenting her with a Thesaurus to look up the meaning of kidnap...)
Sanjay Dutt to the cop: Maine mere assistants ko mere dushmanon ki list banane ke liye kaha hai... (as though he is trying to make a grocery list)
Imran Khan to Sanjay Dutt: Mujhe revenge chahiye..(something like when you walk into agrocery store/vegetable vendor and say Mujhe do kilo aata chahiye ya sabzi chahiye...as though revenge is something thats sold off the shelf...and Sanjay Dutt is the guy selling it...Phew....)
Finally, the performaces by the two leading ladies is so intense and superlative that perhaps Naseeruddin Shah could take a lesson or two from them.
I am being too harsh I guess. the director has made some remarkable progress too from his previous Dhoom attempts.
For starters, Minisha Lamba's necklines have plunged several notches deeper than the greatest plummet witnessed by Dow Jones in the last four years and this nose dive in the necklines and amount of clothing worn is way ahead than those sported by the ladies in the Dhoom series...Only point being- there is a hope that the bank bailout plan will help resurrect the US economy and Dow Jones but I wonder what will bailout the producers from this debacle called "KIDNAP".
Second Progress:
Vidya Malvade plays Minisha's mother and looks perhaps just a few minutes older to her daughter and very ably competes with her daughter in the neckline department. ( A case of child (read infant) marriage I guess.. oops is this regressive then??????
Third Progress:
Reema Lagoo the quintessential mother of Hindi movies (second only to Nirupa Roy who played an ailing/blind/widowed/poverty-stricken -why slashes- most of the movies it was all of the above together) to Vijay aka Amitabh Bachchan in all the movies) now plays a grandmother in this movie- A sure progress for her.
Finally, the director thinks that he has extracted such a great and intense performance from Imran Khan that in one of his interviews compared Imran's performace to Marlan Brando.
I end my blog by saying "May Marlan's soul that is twisting and tossing in his grave post this statement rest in peace"
