The 1 AM Movie Review - Karan Arjun

Holy crap. You know how you watch "Rambo" and "Die Hard" and think to yourself, "These two guys should be in a movie together: it would exponentially increase the 'badass' factor"? Well, this movie is that, old-school Bollywood style. It had everything: Salman Khan at his muscle-bound best, a pudgy (I mean, by comparison) yet insanely yummy Shah Rukh Khan looking like he's going to eat Kajol like a tasty snack, hangin'-by-a-wire ninja moves, Terminator music, James Bond music, Jeep AND horse riding criminals with swords, boys who love their mommy... you name it, they've tossed it in here.

The dance scene to "Bhangra Paale" is joyous to the point of blinding, and the "Jaati Hoon Main" number...like I said, it's classic Shah Rukh Khan desperate, teasing Bollywood sexuality that just makes you shiver and ache.

Don't get me wrong. Some of this 1995 movie is painful in ways only Bollywood can be - the evil son-in-law? To coin his phrase, "What a joke." Much of the fighting is overblown and gratuitously violent, although I gotta hand it to them: the shooting through the hand thing? That's greatness.

Bottom line: if you're a true fan of either of these Khans, you're gonna dig this movie. I'm giving it two bicep curls and a pelvic thrust.
