Prince - hindi movie review

Some Taurani's Prince ...

Interesting. Some moron somewhere said that Prince had something with Ghajini. What a moron. Prince is a pure Indian curry. Take a cauldron full of matrix, stir fry some Ironman till it sputters, add handful of Batman in it till glazed over (to the credit of the storywriter or screenplay writer or director whichever, s/he has paid homage to Batman!), then add one pound of fresh cut slabs of The Italian Job, Mission Impossible and a serious pink panther. Cook under low heat for 2 hours and 7 minutes. Add spice and everything else to taste. Like any Indian curry, it makes for an interesting mix. Butter chicken was originally made with left over tandoori chicken, but what the heck. It is now a signature Indian (read Punjabi) dish. Biryani was instant fast food for Mughal soldiers to be eaten immediately after the day's war. This too is a signature dish. Sandwich - same story. Funny how regurgitated stories can have the same effect on story tellers. Maybe the reason it sells is because not many in the human category is used to change. The stories will be retold and remade. Some make it to the Hall of Fame. Others to the Hall of Shame.

Whatever it is, Kites was reviewed by me below this. Prince is a much more riveting story. It is always interesting to see the evolution of mankind. Especially in cinema history. Bollywood is much wanting to go Hollywood. In many cases, it succeeds too! There are special effects, not classy like the Lord of the Rings, or many Bond movies, or Terminator or Star Wars or Jurassic Park, but a good attempt nonetheless for a fledgling wannabe Hollywood. There are stories within stories in Prince during his quest for memories (which should really be homonymized in this case) and each story should have been handled with interesting twists for our intelligence starved brains. Anyway, without ripping the crappy movie to shreds as it should have been along with myriad million other movies, there are only two things to take home. 1. This is better than Kites and 2. one should always appreciate a toddler's steps.

Here's the one-liner for the movie review - Hero thief, zero memory. Gets memory back because Science ki jai.

Wish I had memory problems with movies like these. The good thing though is you will lose your memory of movies like these faster than popcorn digests within the Duodenumix. Hey, anyone know of a movie about protagonist with memory loss without flash backs in the movie?
