Jai tells his girlfriend that he actually loves Aditi and not her. Aditi is about to leave for America and Jai comes running to her in the airport and proclaims his love. They get married and its all very sweet.

Review:
I was very skeptical about this film because I knew it was just a launching pad for Imran Khan, Aamir Khan's nephew. But, I was sooooo impressed with the film. Not only is Imran and FABULOUS actor who's career is really going to go places, but the story was just soooo sweet and cute and perfect! It was not too intense or emotion, but there still was a good amount and I just really loved seeing these new, fresh faces on the big screen. I thought the music was fun and I just think the whole film was fun. I would DEFINITELY recommend this film because it was really a feel good movie and top quality bollywood. I think my favorite scene was when they were both at the party just staring at each other and you really could feel the intensity of their gazes and it was heart wrenching! I LOVED IT! I was just so so impressed with Imran's acting, he is really really good and really cute! I really am looking forward to seeing many more films with him in them. I also really liked Genelia D'Souza who played Aditi, I though she was really cute and FULL of spirit and fun. I hadn't heard about at all before the film, and I am curious if she will go far with her career. I think she has the potential and I really do think she should go far. So overall I completely loved this movie, and what made it so much better was that I was not expecting it to be so fun! That always seems to happen, when you don't spend much thought on a film and then you see it, its usually MINDBLOWING!

Songs:
Well, I honestly loved all the songs! The music started right in the beginning was was totally consistent throughout the film which was very nice and fun! I think my favorite songs were Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi and Pappu Can't Dance.

Priya crosses his path three times and each time ends up in an argument. Raj goes to a physic and she tells him that if he finds his lucky charm, everything will change, including his job situation.

He goes to the proposal meeting and changes everything with his plans, including keeping the community center along with the new mall, everyone scorns him, but Priya walks in and once again his luck changes and everyone is happy with the plan. So Raj and Pryia are happy after all.

Review:
I thought this movie was really fun. It was my first Bollywood on the big screen so that made it 10 times better. Shahid was beautiful as usual and I thought the music was really good. It could have used like 1 more number in the beginning because the first half was a little low with the music. The only thing I couldn't stand about the film was VIDYA!! She is a horrible actress and isn't even pretty. She can't cry, she can't dance, she's always bitchy, and she's stupid. I don't understand how she is even popular, she totally should be a z lister. But since Shahid was the real star of the film is was great! I would defiantly recommend this film to anyone who is a Shahid fan because there is plenty of great dancing and it shows he is still is just as good as he was in Jab We Met. It was a fun and light film and I really enjoyed watching it! 

Songs:
I think the best songs in the film were Aai Paapi (Tu Hai Meri Soniye) and Bakhuda Tumhi Ho. Although the Move Your Body in the credits was great too.

Dhoom 2

Cast: 
Hrithik Roshan...Aryan 
Aishwarya Rai...Sunehri
Abhishek Bachchan...A.C.P. Jai Dixit
Uday Chopra...Ali Khan
Bipasha Basu...A.C.P. Sonali Bose/Monali Bose

Summary:
There is a theft who has been able to escape the police for years, stealing only the most valuable things in the world. A.C.P. Jai Dixit and Sonali Bose are determined to find this theft, but the problem is the theft know as "A" is a master of disguise. After an attempt to capture him in Mumbai, Sonali resigns, and so Jai sends an ex theft, Sunehri, as an undercover agent to try and get in with "A". Sunehri convinces "A" to let her be his sidekick. Slowly he starts trusting her and revails his name to her: Aryan. They go off to Brazil to steal the first coins ever made by man, Sunehri informs Jai and his partner Ali, who follow them to Brazil and stay with Sonali's sister Monali. Ali and Monali fall in love and they both are the comic relief of the film. But before you know it Aryan and Sunehri are really both falling in love with each other. They steal the coins and it is a crazy chase between both Sunehri and Aryan and Jai and Ali. Before they stole the coins Aryan found out that Sunehri had been working for the police and she promises to stay true to her love, Aryan, then to the police. But Jai and Ali don't know this. The chase ends at a waterfall and Jai has Aryan at gunpoint and arresting him. Sunehri shows up and shoots Aryan. Jai is shocked and believes that Aryan is dead and so he leaves Sunehri. Then you see both Aryan and Sunehri on an island with their own restaurant six months later. Jai walks in and both thefts believe they are gonners, but Jai spares them as long as they never steal again. 

Review:
I was soo shocked when I saw the film, I was expecting something mediocre and way too many motorcycle chases like the first Dhoom, but I was wrong. This movie was soooooooo good!!! I loved the cast, they were perfect and the story was fun. I think what made Dhoom 2 SO much better then Dhoom was because there was a love story woven into the plot. Dhoom was so surface level and nothing really happened, but in Dhoom 2 the love story was so good because they actually focused on it and it was between the characters that were the best. I love how it actually worked out in the end too because I was so sad and heart broken when she shot him at the waterfall. I would probably not recommend this film to fist time Bollywood watchers, you probably would be really questioning my judgment, but if you are an aged fan then I'm sure you will enjoy this film for the all star cast and the QUALITY love story. 

Songs:
I LOVE ALL THE SONGS!!!! But defiantly the favorite was Dil Laga Na and Touch me.

Jab We Met

Cast:
Kareena Kapoor...Geet
Shahid Kapoor...Aditya

Summary:
Aditya is the son of the most wealthy businessman in all of India. He has to take over the company because his father died. Since he inherited it, there has been constant loss and his girlfriend is getting married to someone else. Aditya is at his all time low. He leaves town on a train and happens to meet Geet on the train. They both get left behind at a stop and end up traveling together to Geet's home. Geet is a fun and spirited girl who talks nonstop and is planning to elope with her boyfriend. Aditya because a new person because of Geet, he no longer is depressed and self pitying, but positive and happy. When Geet leaves him to go meet up with her boyfriend Aditya goes back to his life and improves everything with his company, all because of Geet. He realizes that he truly loves Geet, but he is happy for her new life. Suddenly Geet's parents come to Aditya, assuming that she ran away with him, saying that they have not heard from her for months. Aditya promises to bring Geet home and doesn't tell them that him and Geet are not married. He goes to find her at her boyfriends hotel, but the boyfriend tells Aditya that he didn't ever want to elope with Geet, and so he sent her away. Aditya is furious and finds Geet living in a convent school. He tells her that she needs to see her family and that she needs to get out of depression because her boyfriend was stupid anyways. Geet knows that Aditya loves her, but she is confused with her feelings. Suddenly her boyfriend calls and begs her to come back to him. So she does and they all go off to the parents house. The whole family thinks Geet and Aditya are married, so they have a huge celebration waiting for them. Neither Geet nor Aditya tell the family what mistake has been made and  that she is actually marrying her boyfriend. The boyfriend is angry and tells Geet she must tell the family of the mistake and while he is telling her this she realizes that Aditya is who she loves, so they don't tell the family and get married.

Review:
This movie was amazing!! Not only were Shahid and Kareena sooooo cute and fabulous in it, but the music and plot were genius. I loved Geet, she was so fun and you could connect to her and Aditya was so kind and loved Geet so much that you couldn't help liking him. I really did not know what was going to happen with their relationship, and when the boyfriend came back for Geet, I was shocked. The twist was absolutely amazing because it was heart-wrenching and defiantly unexpected. I could watch this film over and over and never get tired of it. I think the music really plays a HUGE part in how good the film is, it just keeps you hooked and its fun. I think what's nice about this film is that there is no huge drama, it's just people that you can actually see in real life and I think it was key that they did not over do the love between Geet and Aditya. As the audience you knew that there was love there, but it was a friendship too and that's what made it so cute! And I ADORED Kareena's wardrobe. The harem pants were PERFECT! I am pretty sure that the lovely Manish Malhotra did her wardrobe for the film.

Music:
Well, I have the whole soundtrack because I love it so much, but I would have to say the very best songs are Ye Ishq Hai and Mauja Mauja.

The Unforgettable Tour

I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!! The Unforgettable Tour is coming to Los Angeles on July 26th and I am going! It's going to be more then just UNFORGETTABLE!!! The Bachchans, Preity Zinta, Madhuri Dixit + more!! This is the biggest Bollywood tour yet, starting in Toronto with Akshay Kumar then making its way all over Canada and the United States and finishing in London with Shilpa Shetty at the final performances. Bipasha Basu was originally going to come and I wish she still was, that would have been amazing, but still! I can hardly wait for this beautiful thing to occur! 

Updates!

So, I've finally updated the tops list because I think its about time for some new comers. I've gotten rid of Rangeela and KANK because I've seen some pretty good films lately and I think they need some glory too. 

Jab We Met is number two now because I absolutely love it! Every time I watch it, it gets better and better, Kareena and Shahid are soooo brilliant in it! 

Chori Chori Chupke Chupke has been moved to number three because I just love Dhoom 2 and it's all star cast. CCCC is still secretly the best, but I'm just lovin Dhoom 2 now.
