I like your seven (and not just because 'our' boo is prominently featured)! I need to understand this love you have for Will Downing... I must be missing something. I hope you get to meet everyone on your list.

Meanwhileeeeeeeee, Osa Baz? Another surreal moment, if its the same Osa, that's like my bestie!

Abeg, Shah Rukh Khan does not hold a candle tol Aamir Khan.
Why would anyone want to se Don twice? That film was a travesty and if not for the fact that I was the one that selected it for myself to watch, I would have given the person who suggested it a slap. terrible film, catastrophic performances!!!
Not when there is Deepa Mehta's water, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black, Nangesh Kukunoor's Dor, Devdas, Mira Nair's Namesake and Kama Sutra. Look if u no sabi beta Bollywood film, tell me, make I show u road.

I would like to meet Amitabh Bachan too but the guy is vexing me right now. I was supposed to marry Abishek. Aishwarya that Heiffer!!!

catwalq, it's a free world and we're all allowed to disagree, but (and I'm guessing this was unintentional) your tone comes off as a bit condescending. The fact that someone likes a film you don't like doesn't mean that they 'no sabi beta film'.
