Some days back, I read somewhere, 10 things to do before you turn 30. Go extreme was one of them. So I tried going extreme tonight. I arranged one red baseball cap, wore a lose jeans and a jacket. I with one of my friend left for nearest multiplex on a bike. Since we were in hurry, on the way we brushed with a best bus and I had to sacrifice my jeans. But finally we managed to reach the multiplex on time. We asked the person at ticket counter, two tickets, Aap Kaa Suroor, current show. People around the ticket counter were looking at us with curiosity. We looked like die hard Himesh Reshamia fan from our get up but our discussion suggested otherwise. I had full confidence on Himesh Reshamia’s acting talent. I knew none of the actors could have performed well. I did never heard of the director of this movie before. I am not a fan of Himesh Reshamia’s singing either. But this was the way of going extreme for myself and my anonymous friend (will not name him to save the embarrassment for him).
When we entered the theater, we were surprised to see almost 10-15 people in the theater (We were expecting a lot less than that). The movie started showing German police pulling dead body of a white girl from water. Suddenly we were told that she was a journalist Nadia Merchant, daughter of ex-cop Firoz Merchant (Raj Babbar). Believe me, she did not look like Raj Babbar’s daughter from any angle. Raj Babbar has probably mistaken someone else’s daughter as his own (may be his wife had some extramarital affair). This is quite possible considering the kind of fool he has been shown in the movie. He actually goes to prison to beat Himesh to death and unwillingly end up helping him run away from prison. I was hoping “Escape from Alcatraz”, but it turned out to be “Escape from Tihad”.
Himesh Reshamia is no less than Krrish. Like Krrish, he has also got many superpowers, like he can predict future (he knows something is going to go wrong since the begining), he has such a good sense of sound that he actually manages to open one custom made safe using the same, and last but not the least suroor. Using his suroor superpower he manages to call some Mumbai rickshaws to Germany to help him escape from police custody. Using the same superpower he manages to set one of the cars he was chasing to fire. And I think it was the same superpower that prompted the father of the bride to watch TV during feras. Well Himesh seems to be greater superhero than Krrish. Why don’t Rakesh Roshan and Himesh jointly release a combined sequel to both the films having two superheroes?
Mallika Sherawat has done the best job in acting department among all the actors in the movie. Now you can imagine how badly everyone has acted. While watching initial credits I noticed 6 choreographers have been used in the movie. I think 4 of them were used only to choreograph Himesh’s every movement. His every movement looked so fake that if you actually notice it, you will not stop laughing throughout the movie.
Only thing to talk about in the costume department is various caps worn by Himesh. No body can count the no of caps he has worn in the movie or the no of times he has changed his cap. Well in next season of KBC, this could very well be the one crore rs question, and I am sure no body will be able to answer it. (considering whoever watches this movie more than once will not survive). Himesh Reshamia is the hero with worst physic in recent times. You can clearly see his tummy dying to come out from the tight t-shirts he is wearing. It’s really difficult to believe how Himesh delivers all the dialogues without any expression coming to his face. This could be because of one of his many superpowers. It’s really remarkable.
I read in one of the review of this movie, that you should respect Himesh’s confidence. Well, let me tell that particular reviewer that this is not confidence, we have another word in the dictionary and that is overconfidence. In future if I had to write an example of overconfidence somewhere, i would definitely write, Himesh Reshamia making Aap Kaa Suroor-The Moviee: The Real Luv Story. Himesh, do you think Indian movie goers are so dumb that they will believe the crap shown in the movie to be real. Himesh Reshamia should actually be charged with fraud, for claiming such story to be real. There is one good news for roadies lovers, Bani is there in the movie.
Somewhere in the middle of the movie it is told that, Himesh has lost his smile after his brother’s death. Well I have also lost my smile after watching the movie. May some girl like Ria come in my life also to teach me how to smile again.

LOL …. But you see the Indian public(including you… you asked for it hehe) have made this into a “Hit” and so in future we will see more caps and more caps and maore caps…
LOL, that reminds me of a scene from Bluffmaster:
Nana: Trailer aksar acha hota hai, film bakwaas nikalti hai.
Abhishek: To ticket mat khareed na.
I guess this should be a good stoner film experience…
i think u mistakenly read “10 things never to do before you turn 30.” as “10 things to do before you turn 30.” :d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d
Somker Joe:
It does not matter Nadia looked like daughter of Raj Babbar or not. Director wished to pay his tribute to Client Eastwood’s Mystic River so he kept that scene in the film!
Onir/Tushar,
I watch almost all the movies, and if i m watching movies like aap kaa surroor, i prefer to go with someone with good sense of humor. sometimes I watch movies just for fun/timepass, and these movies are best suited for that, you just have to change your view.
Even in this movie if you constantly watch Himesh and follow his every move, u’ll definitely laugh.
RK,
I sincerely don’t think, director had mystic river in his mind while filming that scene. even if it was the case, some Indian actress could have played the part of Nadia.
Somker: that was a joke, seriously that scene is straight copy of scene of Mystic River. Replace Raj Babbar with Sean Penn you will find every other minute details. Even both have got same dialogues though in different language.
shayad u r not aware that th film has earned Rs.10 Crores net in 1st week…and better opening then dhoom 2..btw u n ur anonymous frnd paid approx 30 dollars for the same crap…himesh is a hit..thats it.. i hav seen pepl singing al th songs thruout th film..plus th mexican waves within a cinema hall..me n u crib here ..whras th producer is counting money sitting in th bank..
:-w
ADMIT IT …HIMESSSSSSSS ROCKS>>>:d/
the movie is a hit in single screen halls, but in multiplexes it didn’t find any takers, other than people like us.
but we all have to admit that the film has been marketed well. trailers of the movie were showing Mehbooba Mehbooba with Mallika Sherawat (To capture the masses), some cartoons (to capture the kids) while both these had nothing to do with the movie and were played during the end credits. Also the rickshaw wala sequence was promoted so much to cover a particular group of audiences. over and above that we can not deny the fact that there are so many himesh reshamiya fans aut there.
The credit to success of the movie goes to the brilliant marketing behind it.
Smoker, even in multiplexes it had a bumper opening. Business started dwindling from Monday onwards in Mumbai multiplexes. For first three days yes there was buzz,whistles,catcalls and excitement amongst the audience though an octave lower than Sivaji-the boss.
AKS rode the curiosity and marketing wave. But the real test will be Himesh’s next. Whether there also he and marketing blitz will rock or it will rock producer and distributors..Litmus test will be the next venture.
smoker u mentioned “In future if I had to write an example of overconfidence somewhere, i would definitely write, Himesh Reshamia making Aap Kaa Suroor-The Moviee: The Real Luv Story.” I think Himesh bhai planning to make a sequel to it will be a better example :D
btw i was intended to go and watch AKS with smoker that fatefull night but ja na paya…khair we made up for it and watched Apne together the next day. That was a laughathon too
guys wait and OZ u too
Sequel is in waitin too.!!!:o
