Jolly LLB 3

I watched Jolly LLB 3 in the week after it was released. I have the memory of enjoying the part one where Arshad Warsi played the lead role. I have the memory of not disliking the second one where Akshay Kumar played the lead role so I was open to watching it if circumstances arise. It so happened that my by afternoon, my evening engagements were rescheduled and when I searched for local listing of movies, this was the one which came out as winner (showing close to my home, timing matching, no major violence, not part of series where stories are coupled etc). So I went to watch the Jolly LLB 3 with my family.

Happy New Year

I watched Happy New Year on the day of its release. It was all that I expected minus long overly emotional scenes. My expectations were based on previous Farah Khan movies such as Main Hoon Naa and Om Shanti Om. While these movies were high on entertainment value, they also had some scenes which seemed stretched. This was, thankfully, absent from Happy New Year. There was an attempt to provide emotional underpinning to overall heist plan and also loose patriotism at the end but it did not affect the pace of the movie. Actors were good. Or rather they fit their characters very nicely. There were more than its fair share of songs and dances. Story was normal but then one should not expect original story. There were some loose ends but then again one should judge a movie based on what is expected of it. Bullet points summarizing my experience:

• I don't regret watching it paying full price 
• I don't regret spending 3 hrs of my time watching it
