@6048545078 Ahem, 'Let the right one in' is a Swedish film, not a French film. And you have the audacity to tell us about false facts? Let me see.The Academy Award nominated 'Water' (2005) was written by Anurag Kashyap and directed by Deepa Mehta also won at the Canadian Genie awards. There's als...

When I saw this scene at a cinema here in the UK, I was blown away by Hrithik's facial expressions alone. Scenes like these make the ticket price seem cheap, and that's saying something!

Really looking forward to this film. Sriram Raghavan's first two films were soooooooo close to perfect. Hoping he keeps that standard up.

@Fahmida123 Only Omar is muslim, and he's the one with the FBI. Sameer and Maya are Hindu names.

BEST FILM OF 2009, BY FAR!!!!

@Papanrocks55 SRK is the biggest self-made superstar in the Hindi film industry, though I think Aamir is slightly better.

@ccrazycraze What an idiotic prediction; as if India's top actor would make such a simple and unmoving film. This was a rumour before Ghajini that haters such as yourself initiated.

Watched this after purchasing the UK release yesterday. Great film; one of the best of 2011. I can understand why the Indian audience couldn't digest this. After all, India is getting closer and closer to Hollywood now.

@meshzy13 @2803maverick It's prominent director Sriram Raghavan's original script, who is known for path breaking (and original) thrillers, such as Johnny Gaddaar and Ek Hasina Thi, and actor Saif Ali Khan's dream project. It has been shot in 5 or 6 countries around the world. Not a copy of Bourn...

@diplomats101 Not a sword, a large knife. Anger and desire for revenge are two things capable of generating such strength.

@2012Subrata Before going on a rant like that, I suggest you get your facts right. See the promo launch video where director Sriram Raghavan (Ek Hasina Thi, Johnny Gaddaar) and Saif clarify a few things. Anyway, why would such a critically acclaimed director such as Sriram destroy his rep by copy...

The trailer seems to linger on a bit. Great film, but I don't think Zoya fully understands the idea of effective film promotion. You need a great trailer to create a big buzz, and trailers in excess of 3 minutes are just a no no. This could have grossed 200 crores worldwide, but only grossed 140...

@TheSebulba1978 It's to show off and compete with Hollywood. As it stands, only India can compete with Hollywood.

At number 4 on the BBC official asian (legal) downloads charts almost 7 months after the release of the music of this film. Can't believe that they put this great song in a stupid serial. Best male playback singer should have gone to RFAK, but the Filmfare's are for sale I guess.

'the most awaited movie of 2012, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu' - YEAH RIGHT!!!

This is the real SRK. We can now see that his personality is not what many people claim it to be. He SHOULD have risen above their remarks about his mid-life crisis etc, BUT NO, he abused them back on TV.

Nobody could pull this official remake off apart from Abbas-Mustan. They could have, however, chosen someone better in Abhishek's place. Maybe Akshay Kumar?

I wonder if they ran out of ideas after 9 new dialogues.

@thepiranha156 The MASSIVE flaw in that is that you're assuming that only Salman fans dislike SRK. In truth, a lot of Salman's fans, such as myself, are also ardent fans of SRK. In a similar way, fans of other actors, such as Aamir Khan, do dislike SRK.

Bet they're going to use Akon's 'Chamak Challo' this year.

@DhaliwalTV Yes, that's just one of the film's many strengths; the attention to detail in this film is hugely commendable. Hats of to SRK and the whole team.

Tamil/Telegu/Kannada/Malayalam cinema is nowhere compared to Hindi cinema. The only good thing about south Indian (and that too Tamil) cinema is Mani Ratnam. Fact.

@lionchopra And, of course, the music of 'Jannat: in search of heaven'.

@cosmoloverob Not really. For example, Akon says 'reeka' instead of 'dhikaa' and 'pareeda' instead of 'parda' etc. Katrina Kaif's accent is western but her pronunciation is better than that.
