Bollywood Critics Rape What’s Your Rashee

The newest Priyanka Chopra-Harman Baweja film What’s Your Rashee is drawing withering scorn from Bollywood critics.

Are you surprised? We’re not.

After all, these two are the worst actors on the planet. Remember that monumental fiasco Love Story 2050?

Bollywood critics have not hesitated to rip What’s Your Rashee apart (sure the reviewers have found a few saving graces but overall they are very negative on the film).

Here’s a sample of the unflattering reviews:

NDTV (Anupama Chopra):

 Harman…simply doesn’t have the screen presence or the acting chops to pull it off….What’s Your Raashee is a gargantuan misstep.

IndiaFM (Taran Adarsh):

What’s Your Raashee? is a king-sized disappointment ….Ashutosh Gowariker gets it wrong this time thanks to the poor screenplay. The writing is the biggest culprit here…but why so many songs? A few songs can easily be deleted.

IndiaTimes (Gaurav Malani):

What were you thinking Ashi? – I mean Ashutosh Gowarikar. The hangover still looms large of this cinematic adaptation on astrological literature that isn’t entirely logical or amusing….The viewer is exhausted for the exit door is still closed.

Reuters (Shilpa Jamkhandikar):

Almost four hours, numerous songs and twelve mini-stories later, I came out with a headache.

Livemint (Sanjukta Sharma):

If you are going to watch Ashutosh Gowariker’s new film, What’s Your Raashee?, this weekend, be cautioned. No amount of buttery popcorn will protect you from the dull, tedious farce it is.

    SI,

    This is what will happen when you steal a tv serial and then write it as a book and then collaborate with angry old man (ashu gowarikar) to make it into a movie.

    You write: This is what will happen when you steal a tv serial and then write it as a book

    According to Anupama Chopra (Bollywood director Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s wife), the book came before the TV serial.

    Are you hell bent on burning your purse??? This is the nth crappy movie that you managed to see during the last week. Are you rich or something? Do you have a dollar-printing machine in your house or something?

    Or are you vying for the Guiness record for watching the most number of worst movies in a row (Another meaningless world record) 😉

    Next time, try to select your movies carefully. Else your blog is gonna sound like this:
    XYZ: A Heap of Thrash
    Lollu: Kevalamana Padam
    Vettaikkaran: Vettaiyada Pada Vendiyavan
    Unnai Pol Oruvan: Unnai pola Arivu kettavan????

    Another 2 movie reviews and your site will become an Encyclopedia for bad words 😉

    Kadavule (God), do you suffer from a reading disability?

    Where did we say we saw this movie.

    No, we haven’t seen it.

    We have no intention of doing so either.

    It’s the compassion welling up in our heart that prompts us to caution others from committing the folly of watching this latest Priyanka Chopra-Harman Baweja disaster, by way of the above post after reading the uniformly negative reviews.

    What r your plans for the weekend?

    SearchIndia.com Responds:

    Watching an old Kamal Haasan film Michael Madana Kamarajan and one or two other movies, read, read, read, eat, eat and eat (Indian food only, of course).

    Doesn’t it look like a grueling weekend. 😉

    I liked Lagaan, loved Swades and liked Jodha Akbar…decided to go & watch Whats your rashee today…but once I started reading reviews last night decided against it…this is called cycle gap-le jaga vaangardhu

    SearchIndia.com Responds:

    If the uniformly bad reviews are anything to go by, What’s Your Rashee will be a big dud at the box office.

    But then the Priyanka-Harman combo spells disaster, don’t they?

    “sure the reviewers have found a few saving graces but overall they are very negative on the film…”

    However, you haven’t mentioned that the saving grace all the reviewers are talking about is Priyanka Chopra, one half of, according to you, the “worst actors in the world.” I know she hasn’t shown much acting talent in the past, but post-Fashion, she has been pretty good, or at the least, improved greatly.

    SearchIndia.com Responds:

    In our not so humble view, Priyanka Chopra is the anithesis of acting.

    And we say this after watching several of her so-called movies.

    Hey SI baby, I like Priyanka Chopra. Stop spreading non-sense about her. I know you are jealous of her beauty but are you nuts or some blithering idiot to compare yourself, an average looking NRI, with Miss Universe Priyanka-beauty-Chopra??

    SearchIndia.com Responds:

    1. You write: I like Priyanka Chopra.

    Who gives a f**k what a nut-case like you likes.

    2. You write: Stop spreading non-sense about her

    What part of the above box office report don’t you understand?

    The movie is a frigging disaster. Comprende.
