Screw the above and listen to this. apna man Harry is pissed. According to Daddy Baweja some super forces (Hint Hint: Aamir Khan and Co.) are hell bent on ruining his recently released film and debutant Harman Baweja’s career.
I quote thee.
Our collections are improving but it’s very disheartening that some people are trying to run the film down. They are purposely trying to do so but I don’t know who is behind this. Its sabotage, yes the film may be okay but it’s not so bad.
Super taakatwallas or not (or maybe it’s the revenge tactic of the androids for getting such a raw deal) but one has to admit Baweja Sr. is a mighty modest man. I mean seriously how many Bollywood filmmakers will admit to making an “okayish” film.
Reality check though: Baweja sir your film is not so bad. I completely agree. In fact it is ‘so bad x 2050’.

Undoubtedly the iPhone is one of the sweetest inventions in recent times. Well at least in my books. And I wouldn’t be wrong in stating, countless others share the same view. Released on 29th June 2007 (in the US), in matter of weeks the world was gripped in its craze. I remember constantly eyeing eBay iPhone sellers, looking for that ‘one’ perfect deal. (The temporary trauma that came along with my iPhone package, let’s just say I still have nightmares about paperweight iPhones.)
But all that was then, iPhone is now old news. What is in the news however is its rejuvenated version – the iPhone 3G.
The 3G model is yet to be released (a week from now to be precise) and I know tons of folks who can’t wait to get their hands on this beauty. Yours truly included, I mean after all it does fall within my "all things sexy" category.
Besides all the new features such as the two colour options (Black/White), 16 GB option, 2 megapixels camera, 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, App store and Microsoft Exchange, the most attractive bit of all is its marketed price; $199 for 8 GB model & $299 for 16 GB model. Now when converted into Indian rupees, the amount sounds easy on the ears and the pocket.
But if you go by this report you will realize things are not always what they seem, especially good things.

Well the title pretty much says it all. And this is not my opinion alone, but that of all those who walked out of the film before I did - before the interval, during the interval and after the interval. As for yours truly, we would have walked out well before the (dud) finale (Question please, who makes 180+ minutes films nowadays?) but mum was sleeping so peacefully, I just didn’t have the heart to wake her up.
In my opinion the Bawejas made a small yet disastrous mistake – they got the lead hero’s name mixed up. In truth, the leading man is not papa Baweja’s beta Harman but in fact Archana Puran Singh. And I kid you not.
The only few genuine laughable moments which caused a ripple across the audience were courtesy Ms. Singh. Agreed her act was that of a cliched Sardarni aunty but when you are faced with squeaky machomaan, his super annoying lady love, chitrahaar of lifeless songs and a couple of si-fi crap tossed in for namesake – you will latch on to anything to keep yourself mildly interested. Never thought I would see this day – but Archana, thank you so very much.
Final words - debutant Harman Baweja’s love story is terribly boring. However, I do believe the new fella will survive Bollywood but duuuude, seriously take few lessons in voice modulation. As for papa Baweja, uncleji I think it’s time you filed for bankruptcy.
