Am I the odd one out ?

I love movies, something thats pretty obvious from my blog. i take watching movies and reviewing them very seriously. There have been a few times, when ive been baffled at my friends and in fact the whole countries reaction to a few movies.

Ive always wondered, how could people like this crap ?

Here are a few examples of movies released in the last 12-18 months:

1. Bheja Fry:


This was one movie that I somehow sat through expecting the next scene at least to be remotely funny. I was disappointed. While the whole theatre guffawed when Vinay Pathak said " Its ringing " for the 17th time, I thought ( in true Joey style) of tearing my arm off, so that i could have something to throw at the screen.


2.Jaane tu ya Jaane na : refer to my complete review here:



A weak script which made the characters change emotions at its fancy, this movie was another pain in the a**.

The only redeeming factor? A delightfully brooding Prateik Babbar.


3. Bhool Bhulaiyya :




This movie holds the ignominious distinction, of being the second movie ( after Gadar) that i walked out of. Please explain to me, what is so funny about Akshay Kumar saying " Goti...goti..goti...goti" ????

4. Om Shanti Om:





An engaging first half gave way to an utterly unbearable second. With a stupid script and no dramatic moments, my interest waned very fast. Why did I keep watching ? SRK.

5. Partner:



A loyal David Dhawan fan, I landed up for this one with high expectations. I must have laughed maybe 2-3 times during the entire movie. Can you explain to me the ludicrous water jet-ski-missile scene ? Or the insufferable climax when the movie just doesn't end?

And ya maybe I forgot to mention, all these 5 movies, were super-duper hits. Please please write in telling me whether you loved any/all these movies.

And no quasi-philosophical comments about everyone opinion being different please.
