A comedian, a village belle and the city sex kitten
31 July 2002
Comedian Govinda - Ganga,leaves the city at a young age to get a cure for an illness which for some reason can only be cured in the village and returns 20 (should be 40!) years later.

Village Belle Sonali Bendre - Sawni,Ganga's love (h)interest is a girl at the village that he dances with and always gets really humorous with.

City sex kitten Rinke Khanna - Tina,the most sexiest thing in the world falls in love with Ganga after coming to the city and she expresses it and she jumps into her dresses and gyrates her hips and dances to the chartbusting popular hit 'Kem Chhe'.

Ganga realizes the city has changed.Bombay is now Mumbai made up of seven islands and is no more a nice city to meet people with.It is now a carbon copy of NYC with thousands of builiding and sky scrapers kissing the sky and 12 million cruel city people that know nothing about village people.

Govinda is very good as Ganga,except now he is 40+ and needs to stop running around with younger heroines (Kareena and Amisha and Bipasha and Diya and Amrita are his next victims) at the time in 2000,Sonali was 24 and Rinke was 23,and he was 42!

Sonali puts a smile on your face.Not only is she just beautiful and dancing to songs,but she gives herself to the audience and does it well.

Rinke was the USP of this film and after a long gap between her debut and JDMGRH,she makes you give her attention with a whole new look and putting the 'sex' in sexy,because while she is dancing in one song,she feels the song a little too much and starts getting into it!Plus,she is in one of the 20 most popular songs of the year 'Kem Chhe' which was my favorite with Sunidhi Chauhan singing in a sexy tone!

Reema Lagoo and Supriya Karnik are not just supporting artiste now,because they were both first-rate and I am glad they are getting more roles instead of the airhead comedian mom or the evil duhtie gyal.

8/10.PS,if you want to see sexy,watch Rinke in the songs and Sonali in the beginning.

Good Songs,Weird Storyline
20 October 2001
If you really don't know much about this movie,all you need to know that there is a song called 'Mohabbat Ne Mohabbat Ko' which is the best Hindi song of 2001.So go see Ek Rishtaa,just to watch the song sequence,the location in Switzerland is too worn out in every Hindi movie,but that is the only location of the song,which makes you see,there is beauty in simplicity!

A 50-50 Film
30 September 2001
Raju (Salman Khan) is a singer hoping to get a singing career.He goes to Bombay,stays with his friend,and tries to make things happen.But then one night,a car flies out of nowhere and lands on a railroad track,and the first thing he sees is bangles,which means she is a wife.Then he saves her (Pooja,played by the wonderful Rani Mukherjee) and is now labled as Pooja's husband.

One of Pooja's relatives Monty,does not believe that he is really Romi,who Pooja married,but Pooja's friends father befriends him so he doesnt get into trouble.Pooja is in a coma for a few days,and her sister-like friend Janvhi (Preity Zinta) comes from America to stay with her.Then Raj falls in love with her,and vice versa.Then Pooja gets out of a coma,and falls in love with Raj!But,a twist.......HAR DIL JO PYAR KAREGA (EVERY HEART THAT FALLS IN LOVE)

Rani Mukherjee is the saving grace of this film that only gets mature by the second half.It is very foolish and has no meaning.But the fact that it was a hit in India,makes you wonder.The songs are mostly boring and stupid,besides the title track and 'Piya,Piya'.Go see it if you can handle a movie that is a little better than Pootie Tang,which was just dumb.3 out of 5

Bichhoo (2000)
10/10
BICHHOO-SCARED TO FALL.....IN LOVE
6 April 2001
Bichhoo,which stars Bobby Deol,and Rani Mukerjee is a great action film,and is very easy to follow: Kiran:(Rani),is a smoking,tatooed problem child that loses her family from narcotics,or druglord Devarag,and is alone by herself. Jeeva:(Bobby),is a quiet man that lost his mom,and sisters,as well as his girlfriend (Malaika Arora Kahn).

He takes care of her,and makes sure that they both get revenge,but learn to fall in love again after major losses.

The songs in this movie stay into your head,like the best song of the movie "Jeevan Mein Jaane Jaana",or the other two standouts "Pyaar Tu",and "Ekeware Takale".

This movie is re-windable,and fun for others that have no idea about India,to make them sit down and watch.

Songs ------- 1.Dil Dote Dote 2.Ekeware Takale 3.Jeevan Mein Jaane Jaana 4.Pyar Din No Jaaye 5.Pyaar Tu,Dil Tu 6.Action beat instrumental 7.Slow instrumental
