If Barfi becomes a hit, India has changed for the better. Not that it is anything by usual arthouse standards but its sensibility is definitely not familiar to the average palate. The one that celebrates the waterpump scene (whatever that is) from Gadar and such like classics of the cinematic arts.

O wow, that is interesting. That is pretty scary too when they chant that, really piss yourself for the people of Rohan.... On a side note there a few of my toally favorite film scenes ever before and around that battle- when the battalion of elves comes to help the men defend Helms deep (every time I watch i shout GET IN at the screen) not least because of their leaders inspiring message from his elf King (long ago our fathers fought together etc etc) you think those old men and kids are going to get slaughtered by the Uruk Hai, but now they have some hope... Then lots of mini bits during the battle- Legolas skating down the flight of stairs firing arrows, Aragorns general badassery... And then when Gandalf appears to help right at the end... cant help fist pump and shout YES .. I love that film...
+1. Another LOTR fan. I don't think 'The Hobbit' will be that good without chars like Legolas or Aragorn, I wish they make Mahabharata in his magnitude and valor. It would be wonderful.

Barfi will be a hit, but a Barfi will not be a blockbuster. A Barfi will be a hit because urban multiplex movie goers have developed a taste for quality. Barfi will fail in the interiors still. When it comes to blockbusters, only the Dabangs and the Rowdy Rathods will make it.

Watched Prometheus. 6/10.. average and a mash up of several movies. A wasted opportunity imo.

Multiplex earnings don't make enough for two star payments. So this movie will have to do good single screen business to be a hit. With a limited release it will have to bring in the money over weeks rather than with a bumper opening. Unlikely, given tastes, which is what I'm thinking about.

revolutionary road :nervous::((
Good movie. I especially liked the fight scenes between Kate and DiCaprio. DiCaprio was emotionally and physically exhausted by the shoot of this movie and he ended up postponing his next film by two months.
