First off Kudos to Kamla for managing to pull this one off. She spoke to Abhishek Bachchan in LA, who was there as part of the Unforgettable Tour after having covered Canada and Trinidad. And as usual, Kamla’s questions were sharp, and to the point and revealed that she had done her homework. For instance, her knowing that AB baby collects watches. Who knew that? (I didn’t – not that I care enough anyways). That, and that a blog is underway.

Pity then that the interviewee was boring as hell!

The Revelation quote of the day comes from Mrs. Neetu Rishi Kapoor.

"Deepika is just a girlfriend at the moment. And Ranbir has gone around with a few girls. But, the day he brings home a girl and tells me ‘this is the girl I want to marry,’ I will look at her in a different light."

To me Mama Kapoor’s tone denotes Deepika as girlfriend of the moment rather. Anyhoo for Deepika’s sake I hope she is getting the hint – Cause woman, you ain’t gonna see the light and that’s for sure.

Aziz Mirza’s on-screen love-meets-fate story, Kismat Konnection, starring the new generation’s Jumping Jack aka. Shahid Kapoor and the ever subdued, Ms. Goody Two Shoes aka. Vidya Balan – disappoints miserably. Surely nothing new I am adding here; practically all reviews published seem to be screaming out loud the same stuff.

In terms of storyline, first half is barely bearable and the second half drags on and on and on. Thankfully I watched it in one of those popular lounge-seating-cinemas, so my tusshie didn’t bear the brunt and I even managed to catch up on some quality sleep. Acting-wise Shahid Kapoor came across reasonably good; I mean you can’t deny that he does a better impression of King Khan than King Khan himself. The other half of the Konnection, Ms. Balan according to me did a so-so jig. The woman seriously needs to display some variety in her role selection process and not repeat the gullible, abla stree kinda-characters.

Overall, Kismat Konnection is more aptly disconnected, predictable and a tad too boring. My advice, skip it.

Now let’s move onto a more interesting trivia on off-screen Bollywood Kismat Konnection.
