Billu (2009)
OK Movie Worth Watching
The story is simple, but performances of Shahrukh Khan and Irrfan Khan are what makes the movie worth watching. The songs, even though not related to the story, are very entertaining and make the movie more fun to watch. The ending was predictable, but the performances saved the movie.
Billu's wife looked way too beautiful to pass off as an average village girl. I'm no Bollywood fan so I did not know who the actress was. Throughout the whole movie, I kept thinking "how on earth did this super hot girl end up with this average looking man?" In the ending credits, I saw Lara Dutta. Miss Universe Lara Dutta!
If you have some extra spare time, this movie is good enough not to waste it.
Drona (2008)
One Good Bollywood Movie
Finally a Bollywood that does not waste your time with some silly love story! The storyline is not too spectacular, but still original enough to form a good movie. Not all the visual effects are very spectacular too, but a lot of them do come out very good. Does not waste your time too much on the past events, just enough to fill you in on the story.
I hated the music scenes that keep interrupting the movie. As soon as I am into the movie following the events, some musical event disrupts everything. I guess you must expect that from every Bollywood movie.
Priyanka was amazing in this movie. I usually don't care about Bollywood actors/actresses, but I guess this is an exception. Her costume design was also excellent. She looked great! The Demon guy was a bit silly, but what else do you expect a demon to look like? The hero was not your typical Bollywood hero, but a sensitive guy trying to make it in the world. The secret city looked fake, but very imaginative characters and costumes. I loved the whole train scene.
I am no Bollywood fan, but with this movie, I guess there is hope for Bollywood after all.
