And even if he does, why does he get down to street fights with iron rods, instead of hiring people to do his dirty work?"<BR/><BR/>Teja: "Because those are his roots. He's a humble man, he hasn't forgotten his roots, where he comes from. He believes in equality, he believes in getting his hands dirty.

After all those ads about the 'historic hit', I was almost apologetic about the headache this movie gave me!! One thing Chris couldn't have figured out though is how this felt like a South Indian film in Hindi. Its sensibility, sidekicks, even extras.......everything felt like this was a dubbed film or at least, it should have been.<BR/><BR/>Junaid Memon at 11:32am January 11<BR/>Ha ha ha, Banno i really loved it. main baki sab jagah galiyan de de ke thak gaya tha, it's first note on which i am laughing ........ and you are not going to be well for so long .... film shuru karne ka waqt nazdeek aagaya hai .. jaldi hi mulaqat hogi ...<BR/><BR/>Sutapa Sikdar at 4:30pm January 11<BR/>shit this always happens to me i contemplate hazaar times before going to this see these hits and then get to know the truth..shit.. never eventually get to see any film .thanks for saving the money in the recession times tho...<BR/><BR/>Mayuri Sharrma at 5:12pm January 11<BR/>I gave ‘Ghajini’ a miss. I wasn’t sure if my senses would be able to withstand the assault of a bald, angry, midget with an 8-pack and convenient amnesia thrashing away at almost everything in sight.<BR/><BR/>However, I am really glad that I didn’t give your review a miss! It’s such a novel and viciously funny piece that had me frequently pause as I read it, to laugh till my sides ached!<BR/><BR/>I love the title and Christopher Nolan’s thoughts the most. Your dialogues with Teja and especially the popcorn bit were delightfully hilarious!<BR/><BR/>Thank God you watched this crap movie; we got a brilliant review out of it!<BR/><BR/>Pawan Sony at 7:49pm January 11<BR/>quite funny. cool stuff:0<BR/><BR/>Tappu Mehta at 11:30pm January 11<BR/>hi banno.....Gajini pe itna gehra Adhyan....tumhe to ISRO mein scientist hona chaahiye tha....what about rab ne.....<BR/><BR/>Ravi Deshpande: "Hey Banno,<BR/>What fun!!!<BR/>Now tell me why does Banno, Chris & Teja continue sitting in the theatre through the insufferable film till the end???<BR/>Why does Chris return after having walked out?<BR/>How come Banno is so attentive to all the flaws in the script?<BR/>Hey, but this is such fun - when someone does something with a blatant "a meri maar" baseline...<BR/>I had a blast reading it.<BR/>More, Banno, more if you are so velha, write more."<BR/><BR/>Rahul Deo Sengar emailed:<BR/>"Dear Banno,<BR/>I had the pleasure of reading your review just now.<BR/>I am not exaggerating, I would really like to play out this review of yours on stage with Tom Alter and Shahnaaz Ahmed Abbas from my batch.

In future please do keep me posted on your reviews and any other humourous writings.<BR/>Only one problem: why does it take so painfully long for your blog to open??
