Movies To Check Out This Weekend

Since the last time...I would think that the movie season for 2010 is just ushering itself in......An average lineup is expected to come to a theater near you this weekend movies,with a couple them sure to spike up your adrenaline levels .Heres a peak of the marquee over this weekend
PYAR IMPOSSIBLE : A Yash Raj Films Production that sees Uday Chopra turn producer and actor with this flick and Jugal Hansraj, the Maasoom guy turn director.The story revolves around a geeky nerd played by Uday Chopra who is head over heels on a hep chick essayed byPriyanka Chopra who cares a whimper.The twists and turns that lead to this unlikely pair bring the house down on fire forms the plot.
Pre Movie Verdict: Trailers Good...Movie may just make the mark!!!
Uday Chopra hasnt really had a successful innings as a main lead ,a forgotten debacle in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, and has been able to carry the baggage of a sidekick with a comfort that has unfortunately not gone beyond the home productions he's been a part of (Any takers for Ali in Dhoom and Dhoom 2????) .The comic personification of the nerd could win brownie points with the audience.At the other end,it will be interesting to see how Priyanka Chopra undergoes an emotional transition from being callous to caring as the story progresses. Jugal Hansraj makes his directorial debut with this movie and hasnt had a great career graph in the acting and writing departments.Hopefully,his role as a director would help him reverse his sagging career that for some reason refuses to take off beyond the Maasoom stamp.
Yet all said and done, if this movie is to be successful, a great deal lies in a tight script. I guess to that end, the Yash Raj Brand has been marketing the film well,with the promos looking great , I bet the Alisha track by Salim- Suleiman, is going to be a crowdpuller during the first week at multiplexes!!! Giving it a watch once,wouldnt hurt I guess.....
Predicting more could be injurious to my health :)
DULHA MIL GAYA: Produced by Vivek Vaswani who last donned the hat over two decades ago for Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman the story revolves around a bunch of unrelated characters who have different views on marriage,largely ranging from cynical to head over heals. How their perceptions change through fortutious situations that bring these characters together forms the plot.
Positioned as a comedy, the star cast includes Fardeen Khan,Anushka Manchanda, Sushmita Sen , Suchitra Krishnamurthy and Vivek Vaswani in key roles and a special appearance by Shah Rukh Khan for 50 mins.

Pre Movie Verdict: Dont get misled by Shahrukhs presence in the poster.May not set the cash registers ringing at the box office!!!!
The starcast of this movie include people who really havent done much for a long time now. The plot gives a sense of deja vu ,and is aimed to make people have some good fun. Been in the making for over 2 years, this movie has Shahrukh and Sushmita featured prominently in the posters,that could lead people to think that its a Shahrukh Movie....Sorry to disappoint you guys...the baadshah is no more of an extended guest appearence.The movie hasnt been promoted well enough and it so appears that the producers are praying hard that an audience could be collected with the presence of some star power that is around everywhere except where it is actually needed...Anushka Manchanda who has sung the Alisha track in Pyar Impossible makes her acting debut through this movie. Fardeen is the key protagonist and going by past history,he hasnt had success pulling off a film solely on his merit unlike sidekick roles in movies like Masti and No Entry that were hugely successful at the box office.In all possibility this movie may have a below average run at theaters in cities but could possibly do well in the B and C centers.Hope the producers find a decent return reaching them to buy a good joda for their dulha.
Shall confirm with you guys on the last one soon :)

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY : If you are in the mood to shake yourself up and I mean literally, this is a Movie that promises to scare the wits out of you. This home made movie with no real special effects was released in the United States by Paramount Pictures in 2009 talks about a couple who experience strange happenings in their house in the middle of the night.The movie was made on a shoe string budget and clearly involves the minimalistic cinematic equipment ever used-a tripod camera an ouja board, a couple of novice actors and a house..shot with minimal lighting in the middle of the night!!!!The movie finally comes to India after being screened at the Screamfest and doing rounds across the United States.

Pre Movie Verdict: Bring on the Ouja Board and redeem your deepest fears !!!
The movie was marketed in a most interesting manner once it was released by Paramount Pitcures. Spread largely by word of mouth,this movie got screened only in theaters wherein viewers recommended its screening.It will be interesting to see how the Indian audience responds to this stuff!!!
An exciting scarefest hopefully this one :)
