The Rising : Ballad Of Mangal Pandey

The first thing that strikes you about the film is the packed theatre. And the second is the fact that you spent $10 on the ticket for a movie that just doesn’t cut it. I respect Mangal Pandey and his sacrifice in our first war of independence. But Aamir Khan as Mangal Pandey is just completely weird.

The Rising

The film isnt really that bad but it falls way too short of an Aamir Khan movie. The story has no meat to make an entire film out of and of course there are a million Lagaan-esque scenes. Infact I can bet that even half the cast is same!

The Rising

Ok ok.. wait.. there are a few highlights … the sets are nice, Rani Mukherjee looks hot ;) and that’s the end of it.

Damn, I cant help completely dissing the movie.. its really that bad. If you still havent seen it already, wait for the DVD. Or if you have a high speed connection, wait for the torrent.
aaaaaah.. God it feels good to get the review out of my system.

You are on my mind

Duniya Ko Bhool Jaoon, Main Tere Pyar Mein
Tu Nahin To Aaag Lage Is Sansar Mein
Taennu Dil Da Haal Sunavaan
Van Main Kamli Naam Dharavaan, Par Ikko-i ratan Laga-vaan
Tu Meri Jaan Hai Tu Mera Armaan Hai

Rabba Mere Pyaar Ko Nazar Lag Jaave Na
Mangiya Dua-vaan Lakkha, Dukh Hun Sataave Naa
Taennu Dil Da Haal Sunavaan, Ni Main Lakh Lakh Shukr Mana-vaan
Van Main Kamli Naam Dharavaan, Par Ikko-i ratan Laga-vaan
Tu Meri Jaan Hai Tu Mera Armaan Hai
