Watching London Dreams' - Nightmare For Audience

After a long time i went to watch a movie in theatre and that too on the first day ! The movie is no where close to reality. Its ridiculous and falls in the genre of 'leave your brains at home' movie. I just couldnt wonder how these people can believe in such a stupid story and go ahead and throw 80 crores in executing a dumb, senseless movie. I mean how you can even think of casting 'Ajay Devgn' (its not my spelling mistake, he changed his name and removed 'a' from it) as a rock star. C'mon no way this decision can be justified. And do you think the audience are dumb to see 'goras & goris' swinging, screaming and going mad for a soft sufi hindi song being sung in London, Paris etc & a hindi band filling stadiums? I think just because of Vipul Shah's 'fetish' for London/foreign locations screwed up half of the movie. The hindi rock band in London and touring Europe seems so out of place.

Now coming to the music of the movie - i guess because of the senseless script i couldnt enjoy the music at all in theatre. But if you just listen to songs outside, they are awesome. Fantastic lyrics by Prasoon Joshi, good music by Shankar, Ehsasn & Loy and there's Rahat Fateh Ali Khan & Roop Kumar Rathod. I liked the lyrics very much (after getting correct meaning from translations :)). But from the movie point of view, you wonder how Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy gave this music to a rock band. Anyhow though the movie is crap, atleast because of it i downloaded the best songs and enjoyed listening to them a lot.
