I adore <I>Singin' in the Rain</I> (though it's not quite my favorite musical - that goes to <I>Guys and Dolls</I> and <I>Top Hat</I>) and it's wonderful to think of another film trying to capture its feeling. That said, associating Salman with Gene Kelley makes my head hurt, even if there are some physical similarities.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-84169602409596057592007-10-04T09:52:00.000-05:002007-10-04T09:52:00.000-05:00I haven't seen Jaan-e-Maan, but from the screen ca...I haven't seen <I>Jaan-e-Maan</I>, but from the screen caps it looks like its movie references extend to what's possibly the greatest Hollywood musical ever, <I>Singin' In The Rain</I>. The scene at "Blockbuster Movies" looks like it parallels Gene Kelly's making the rounds of vaudeville agents in the "Broadway Rhythm Ballet" sequence. And the <I>Jaan-e-Maan</I> marquee is a nod to the final shot of <I>Singin' In The Rain</I>, when its two stars embrace in front of a billboard for their new movie <I>Singin' In The Rain</I>.<BR/><BR/>The Bollywood/Hollywood references (extending to a poster for Deepa Mehta's film <I>Bollywood/Hollywood</I>!) are very clever and fun. But I'm not sure it's enough for me to overcome my Salman aversion and actually watch it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038128179967778614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-51645898677815190862007-10-02T19:42:00.000-05:002007-10-02T19:42:00.000-05:00I too got some laughs out of this one!I too got some laughs out of this one!Sacchielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00413897109947551054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-78389317273279639962007-10-01T10:28:00.000-05:002007-10-01T10:28:00.000-05:00I liked this film, thought it was good timepass an...I liked this film, thought it was good timepass and different, maybe not always successfully so, but at least he was trying. I agree with Aspi that it's nice to see B'wood history celebrated too (am really looking forward to OSO!)Memsaabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05787250976020452370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-32199359424739195222007-10-01T09:50:00.000-05:002007-10-01T09:50:00.000-05:00Farah Khan and her husband (in this movie) both ma...Farah Khan and her husband (in this movie) both make movies that reveal a huge appreciation and love for Bollywood filmi. And I'm beginning to dig that.<BR/><BR/>Jaan-e-mann though is a poster-film for how Bollywood movies are way too long. Leave Anupam Kher on the cutting room floor, tighten up the whole college backstory and you've got a fairly enjoyable movie.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060207061740733110noreply@blogger.com
