Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Garam Masala has largely followed the script of the comedy 'Boeing Boeing', starring Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis, which was released in 1965. The comedy is slap-stick, but it is nowhere close to what Curtis and Lewis put up in the original Hollywood movie. Their is one major departure, though. In Boeing Boeing Curtis's housekeeper is a long suffering old lady, whose sarcasm and chagrin is understated, whereas in Garam Masala the housekeeper is a loud, middle aged man, whose annoyance over the romantic affairs of Akshay Kumar,are overplayed. It appears that Paresh Rawal was trying to steal the limelight from the main characters. And, John Abraham cannot be compared to Jerry Lewis, who was in a class of his own. His facial antics could only be matched by Johnny Walker, the hilarious Indian comedian.

Now i really liked this movie, it was so funny.Both Akshay Kumar and John Abraham are brilliant actors, i think after watching this film they should do lots more films together in the future.Akshay Kumar gets himself into a bit of trouble by dating 3 women at the same time, but the way he handles in when one comes out of the door and then the other one was just so funny to watch, he acted really well int his film and i hope that he makes more great comedy's like this one in the future, John Abraham plays his best friend, he plays his role really well and he is so underrated i am glad that some of his amazing work has got noticed but he is a really Good actor. i just love John, Neha Dhupia has a small role in this film and plays it well.The muse is really good i really recommend this movie to everyone.

Garam Masala is about Mac and Sam (Akshay Kumar and John Abraham) and their struggle of trying to date around 3 girls at the same time, with crazy, and very funny results.The performances were decent enough. Akshay remains triumphant over John, and his role was larger and also more powerful, but John sticks it out and emerges with a decent performance, and stands out on his own. The girls are mediocre - nothing special. Paresh Rawal is the star of this movie, although having a supporting role, he provides much more comedy more than Akshay, John, and the girls put together. Well done to him. Rimii Sen makes a short and forgettable appearance. Ditto for Neha Dhupia. Rajpal Yadav is also memorable as Babban.Worth a watch.

Well, maybe I'm just having a bad run with Hindi movies lately. I asked the video store guy for Apharan (Prakash Jha) but being a new release, wasn't available yet. So I had to settle for this one. It turned out to be the stupidest Hindi movie I've seen (and I've seen quite a few). No wonder BOllywood is the laughing stock of the whole world! If IMDb had negative ratings, I would give Garam Masala a -10.I remember seeing a TV show about the jazzy premiere they had for its release in Mumbai. All the usual celebs and their sideys showed up. For some strange reason, people expect good stuff from Piyadarashan. I did not like Hulchul, Hungama, or his other films. Hulchul, probably dubbed from Tamil or Telugu, came across as very loud, in-your-face fare that again didn't make much sense except in a Bollywood flick. This latest piece of utter CXXP proved that this guy has NO BRAINS. Who made him a director, even a Bollywood director at that??? Anyhow, to the film now. What starts off as a romantic escapade turns into a non-sensical woman-hunt. Two fashion photographers working for a magazine share an apartment (isn't it similar to No Entry where the 2 dudes work for a gossip magazine and share an office? Jezuz Christ, now they're copying their own stories!) Well anyways, there's some cook or chef that tries to help one of the dodos in his quest for multi-lateral love (aka multi-tasking + multi-timing). What happened in the end, I've no idea. I switched off mid-way. What ridiculous junk. I can't believe they even released it. And how sadistic to wallow in their own filth! For which audience did they make it - the poor illiterate Indian masses (700 Mil at last count) or the well-heeled NRI desis staying in Phoren? Either ways it doesn't matter. Neither group has any clue what makes a good movie and probably deserves such god-awful stuff.Its a short review because there's nothing to write about but the usual bag of F-grade garbage. Bollywood should change its name to Follywood. And yes, this review is much better than the movie itself.
