What's Your Raashee ? (Dvd)

Mom and I can't get enough of this movie. And they speak enough English in it that even my eye-rolling extended family members borrow it from time to time. This is the only title they borrow from me, though. They still can't sit through a movie that's all in Hindi.

I think this movie is great. The fact that each encounter with a woman of each rashee exposes all facets of arranged marriage meetings from hilarious, to serious, to absolutely gut-wrenching. Its very clear about the secrets, the politics, and even the odd vulnerability of meeting people in such a situation. Furthermore, there is a great deal of creativity. It is very clear every star sign was studied very carefully and each woman creatively adheres to the profiles but still feels like a real person. Its touching and very VERY creative. I think what kept this from being a hit is the length. The sacrifice of a good number of detailed scenes may have kept sitting through that long of a movie more bearable.

I just recently started getting really into bollywood films. I'm very into astrology and learning about the sun signs, so I thought this would be a perfect watch..And it is! The songs are all so catchy, I even downloaded some of them to my ipod. & Priyanka Chopra (the main actress) is so wonderful and does such a great job at representing each of the signs. It's very cute, funny, and a fantastic watch.It is very long, but I think it's worth it. (:

OMG, I love Priyanka Chopra! This movie had 12 versions of her. The DVD was full of extra features. I particularly loved the music videos with English translation. I saw it on my prime account several times, and had to have it! Harman was pretty good too. Predictable story, but I wondered in the end, which Priyanka character was going to be chosen.

Not a great watch at all, unless you nothing else to do in your life.

As an avid fan of Ashutosh Gowariker's movies I was very disappointed. As a romantic comedy this fails on many levels. It can also use some editing as it was too long. None of these characters were relatable and at best they were just annoying. I have seen way better Bollywood movies so yeah I'll not be adding this to my collection.

This movie is pretty good, a bit of a different take on the typical boy meets girl for shaadi plots. I fast forwarded through a few of the song and dance numbers that dragged on a bit. The ending wasn't entirely predictable. It would have been better if the songs had been subtitled along with the rest of the movie. If I could I'd give it a 3.5.

Thank God.. I mean Thank Krishna for Netflix.. Otherwise, I would have never found this movie. I AM NOT of Indian/Hindu culture and to be frankly honest, this is my first full length bollywood movie. I loved it! The story is great, it has it's funny moments, the costumes are fantastic, I LOVE the songs, and the actors are great to watch and it helps that they are both good looking people. I highly recommend watching this movie, I see alot of reviews commenting on the length of the film, I enjoyed it so much that I didn't even noticed!!
