2 words - Delicious movie!!!! Seriously.. I can list down several different reasons why someone should watch this one! The primary being - Love for FOOD & Cooking!! I obviously didn't watch it for that! I like to eat most of the times n everything but I am not half passionate about food as the ladies in the movie are! Only wishing I was! ;-) I wanted to watch it for the another powerful reason in the movie - Meryl Streep.. She is just brilliant....I started liking her work after watching The Devil Wears Prada.

But contrary to his boyish looks & chocolaty charm – he has justified the role quite a bit. Now that I saw his Johny Gaddar too – I agree to what I’ve heard. He is a goo...

Celluloid...Cinema...Picture...Feature Film...Movies............ Interesting synonyms to a very interesting entertainment medium we have today! I sometimes wonder what our lives would have been without movies around us! Some might find this amusing or even funny..But having been brought up in India - a lot of us are influenced by the Hindi film industry - popularly known as Bollywood! And when I say influence - I really mean it! I was in High School when HAHK (Hum Aapke Hain Kaun) hit the screens and every other teenager/person in love was coughing his/her heart out !!!! Anybody who has seen the movie knows exactly what I am talking about :-) However for those who haven't..here's a quicky. "The lead characters Prem & Nisha are having this chemistry amongst themselves ever since they meet up. The coughing starts as the mimic of an older accountant around. And it carries on toward the end of the movie as a sign or symbol of teasing between these characte...
