* I watched 'Luck by chance' this weekend. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, starring Farhan Akhtar, Konkona Sen Sharma, Rishi Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, Dimple Kapadia and many many others in guest appearances. Its about the struggle to make it big in Bollywood. To me, it seemed somewhat parallel to 'Fashion', but much better. Javed Akhtar's dialogues are crisp and relevant. Farhan and Konkona are brilliant in being true to their characterizations though I felt the end didn't tie up all the loose ends. Nonetheless I loved Sona's(Konkona's character) words in the last scene. Dimple Kapadia is superb as ever in her role as the insecurity-laden older actress. Worth a watch.
* In other news, the weather this weekend out here was a welcome break. It was warm and sunny, the kind of days one doesn't need a heavy jacket or gloves. And hence the entire population was out- at the malls or at parks or generally hanging out.
* There's a long weekend right around the corner and that makes this work week so much more tolerable :).
* Non-stop repeat mode on for this one :
Enjoy!

Watched it too. In spite of brilliant performances by Konkana and Farhan I came away with the feeling of having been cut off half way through a story. And it felt like much of the film industry action was already seen in OM Shanti Om and didn't seem fresh.
That Farhan with all his accomplishments seems all set to be the Kamal of Bollywood!
