Umrao Jaan

Umrao Jaan, the latest Rai movie. It was 3 hours of grief. Leo was sitting next to me eating popcorn and drinking his coke, burping throughout the movie. hahahahahaha! That was the only fun I had. Amma is obsessed with Rai, shouldn't it be her son who is????? About the movie, I haven't seen the original(1981) which stars Rekha, but I have heard that it is quite good. In fact I remember watching it as a child, but the first scene involves a small girl being kidnapped while she was playing. I realised then she won't playing any more, so I thought to myself "to hell with it then" and ran off to play myself. Yeah, I was a born devil, my parents had a tough time. Well, back to UJ(2006), I think the director JP Dutta should be locked in a submarine and sent to the depths of the Pacific Ocean for 3 months. The only movie on board should be his UJ and it should be played constantly, I am sure he will retire from Bollywood once he comes back to land. Simply put it was way too lengthy(the editor should join him on the sub as well), no great performances, all the songs sounded the same and were too many. Junior Bachchan was probably told he's a zombie in this version and he was good at playing one. Rai's beginning to age and I reckon she's looking for those roles which will guarantee her a place among the Bollywood legends. Keep on looking baby, this ain't the one. To be fair to her, I think she gave it a good shot, and with a better director probably she would have dazzled.
Come to think of it, I could have slept throughout the movie?? Why didnt I?? What was it that kept me awake? ..........Leo's noisy munching!!!!!!! I'm going to get you LP!!!
