Very Cool!!!

The Worst Film Ever

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Indian movies are often ridiculed for their duration - typically 150 mins + and for their 'musical' setting. Well here is a movie that defies the stereotypical Indian Movie......each story is about 15 mins long...and no songs ( how do you accommodate a song in 15 mins !!) . So does this make the movie any more interesting? Well in bits and pieces, is the answer. Firstly you will need to watch each story individually and judge. 2-3 Stories are really good....most are mediocre and few downright nonsense...and here too emerges a pattern..the stories with an extra marital affair theme are downright nonsense...poorly directed..poorly acted..poorly executed ( the actors in these stories explains why all the better actors/stars stayed away from such stories ). While the better ones are those with more seasoned actors...Shabana Azmi, Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar....Ultimately...15 mins or 150 mins...a good movie is one that is told differently...Story and Screenplay matter...one without the other and the movie will be a disaster

I'm generally very keen in films with multiple story line like Darna Mana Hai and Salaam-e-Ishq so that's why I intended to watch Dus Kahaniyaan. Before I was going to watch it I thought that only a couple of stories were appealing but every single story was good with unforgettable endings. The film was under 2 hours and the average timing of each story was about 11 minutes so it wasn't to long or short. All of the stories were different from each other and shows that if you do something bad then something bad will happen to you and your fate changes by the choices you make. They had a message that was meaningful and we can learn from them. The best songs are the title song Dus Kahaniyaan and Jaaniye. Each of the stories has a name and they are about:Matrimony: Mr. & Mrs. Sarin are a happy married couple. The devoted wife goes every Thursday to visit her aunt, or does she? Is it all good in paradise? Does betrayal hang on the door? Does love make fools of us all? High on the Highway: The Highway symbolized their companionship; their tacit love, but its unpredictable & volatile turns would radically change their lives. Does endless freedom have its boundaries? Does the recklessness of life have an end?Pooranmashi: A doting mother's only daughter is about to get married; she would do anything to make her happy, but an impulsive act of hers is about to lead their lives to drastic consequences. Pooranmashi is about women whose unconditional love makes for a story of emotional power.Strangers in the Night: Every anniversary, they told the other a secret; this year it's the wife's turn. She begins narrating an interesting encounter with a stranger at the railway station waiting room. Are all secrets meant to be shared? Is the ultimate dare to tell the truth? Will you be deceived if you trust too much or will you live torment if you do not trust enough?Zahir: A writer is driven to madness after he makes a starting discovery about the woman he loves. Is everything always as it seems? Does mystery lie under the surface of every life?Lovedale: When Anuya met an old woman wearing a single earring in a train, little did she know that this chance meeting was about to change her life. Do you believe in fate? Do you believe in Destiny? Do you believe one moment can change your life forever? Sex on the Beach: Dino picks a worn out book on the beach & its character comes alive into a breathtaking woman. They have a great time but everything changes. What surprises does this mystery woman have in store for Dino? Does every dream have a price? Rice Plate: When a hungry devout Hindu woman's only meal is claimed by a Muslim man, what will she do? Will she snatch it or share it? Will she defy her beliefs to support her hunger? Rice Plate is an irresistible treat about the moments that bring us together. Open your hearts. There's room.Gubbare: After an argument with her husband in the bus, Anita sits next to an intriguing man holding 14 red balloons. There unfolds a journey within a journey into this man's past uncovering the key to one of the most important lessons in life. What is the mystery behind these balloons? It's a story which will live in our heart forever.Rise N Fall: Through an internal conflict between an underworld don and his best friend, we weave through a stylish game of friendship & betrayal. In never before seen action sequences, Dus Kahaniyaan's Rise & Fall is a story of two friends united as brothers but divided by power.

Bollywood and its directors, they need to come up with rather interesting movies these days... seriously.Dus Kahaniyaan is a film made by bored directors who probably have nothing better do in Bollywood. The whole film conveys no particular message, it is bad directed, and...edited. I understand that there are ten different stories, but at least don't make them irrelevant to watch! There is a one thing I want to discuss from watching this movie, and a lot of directors have adapted this concept in bollywood movies recently... which is Sex. What is up with sex related stories, seriously? If you have no freaking plot to have a romantic story then why make it? In Dus Kahaniyaan movie, there are about 4 stories basically based on Sex. And the funny thing is, those 4 stories have no plot, which makes them boring to watch.I only liked the story which features Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah, where they are at least acting better and the story has some merit.Other than that, if you want feel depressed (yes, at least 8 out of those 10 stories will make you feel depressed), and waste about 2 hours of your life, go watch this movie.It is nothing but awkward; hence do not prefer watching this. At the end of the movie, you will probably ask yourself, "what the heck did I just watch?"

A good attempt to bring something different to the bollywood community.Sanjay Gupta and others have made a risky attempt to come up with something that is not usual or expected in the current trend of bollywood.Ten different stories. No doubt about learning from them but only for half a dozen; rest really do not make an impact. It is a great effort by all and as well all know with some expceptions....Here we go...!!!!Matrimony starring Mandira Bedi, Arbaaz Khan -- Nice one. Good to start with. Better begun is half done.....(5/10) Pooranmashi starring Amrita Singh, Minnisha Lamba -- Great acting. You get along this "kahani" . (6/10) High on the Highway starring Jimmy Shergill -- Don't quite remember what was in it... worst of the bunch (0/10)Stranger in the Night starring Neha Dhupia, Mahesh Manjerakar -- A so so story to all the wicked minds....but positive lesson .. (4/10)Zahir starring Manoj Bajpai, Diya Mirza - A good lesson for the young generation to understand whats going on in others mind..... (5/10)Lovedale starring Aftab Shivdasani -- A story every lover will like... But I didn't find it so interesting... will give it a friendly... (5/10)Sex on the Beach starring Dino Morea -- I recommend you to grab a plate of samosas for your family/friends while this is going on....I know the title will not allow you to do this but there is nothing in this.... (1/10)Gubbare starring Nana Patekar -- This story is among the half dozen that I like out of 10. Nothing to describe about it...watch it.. (7/10)Rice Plate starring Shabana Azmi, Naseeruddin Shah -- Simply great acting and great direction. Nice message. (8/10) This much just for the message.Rise & Fall starring Sanjay Dutt and Sunil Shetty -- I am a great fan of Sanjay Dutt but I could not digest the story line so (4/10) is enough.Summary : Look out for these KAHANI'sMatrimony, Pooranmashi, Zahir, Gubbare, Rice Plate, LovedaleTry to IgnoreHigh on the Highway, Sex on the BeachWill have different opinions over Stranger in the Night (Good narration), Rise and Fall
