Viewing Notes
Headed over to the all-Indian theater in Fremont, Big Cinemas Fremont 7, to catch Akshay Kumar in Tees Maar Khan (2010), a Bollywood comedy about a con-artist that hoodwinks an entire village into thinking he’s a big time director filming a movie there when he really wants to use the villagers to hijack a train full of loot.
There was a packed crowd for our screening that really ate this film up laughing throughout. Lots of wordplay jokes that only make sense if you understand Hindi. But the movie as a whole I found to be a bit of a bore with not enough musical numbers to make it interesting. The running gags also fell flat. Plane called “Con-Air”, Siamese Twins super-villain, and continuous pokes at Danny Boyle and Slumdog Millionaire. Yawn.
Just noticed this film is in the bottom 100 at IMDb at #97 which is insane. It’s bad but really?
