Can't your reviews be any more biased? I saw Kyon Ki and Garam Masala both yesterday and there was hysteric difference. Garam Masala was like 10% of No Entry and Kyon Ki was much much better.
10% of no entry good rest 90% of no entry doublemeaning dialogues.

10% of no entry good rest 90% of no entry doublemeaning dialogues. Noentry bigger hit because it released before Garammasala. Deewana Huyee pagal suffered because it released after Noentry and garammasala. People can?t go on seeing comedy alone.
RE:You're trying to justify your review by writing so much!!!

Well Ajay, The fact of the matter is Mohan Lal and Mammooty are light years better than the Khans and Akshay or for that matter any "hero" in bollywood when in comes to "acting". Sure there are fabulous actors in Hindi cinema - Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Kak Kay, Irrfan Khan, Pankaj Kapur, Boman Irani, Anupam Kher...list is endless.
The point I am trying to make is "acting" is an art, but in Bollywood, you dont need to know this art to become a "hero" or rather "superstar". All you need is good looks, a bit of luck and family backing in the industry.
Guys are Mohan Lal and Mammooty became stars in south india purely based on their merits as actors. Both are simply world class when in comes to getting into a character and enacting that.
When Mohan Lal acts, you dont feel like you are watching ur fav actor on screen, instead you see the character played by him..
He's the best in the world as far as I am concerned. On par with Tom Hanks..
Pity movie lovers from the rest of India (and world) miss so much...
We are not used to this

Don't force on us your obsession with your regional superstar.Another example for obsession for their own favorite actors. Their main job is to down ride other actors who performs well. For this they dedicate somuch time in internet posts in different ids also.
Remember priyadarshan has said in almost every interview mohanlal is best actor he came across. Also mohanlal is his one of his best friend alos. But one needs to acknowledge good performances by other actors also. In recent interview priyadarshan said Salman acted better than mohanlal in kyonki. So what do you say whether priyadarshan was lying or not. I don't think so. Hindi stars perform for hindi audience.
If one is checking discussion boards (malayalam section) you will find obsessed mohanlal and mammooty fans(another Malayalam superstar) fighting day-night on the topic who is superior. We are not used to such degrading one another, as such in the name of Sharukh/salman/akshay/saif. But please leave us alone. We have our likes and dislikes , dont try to force on us your obsession with another regional superstars.
As far as we are concerned akshay has performed one of the best performances till date in Hind
looks like the critic doesn't know of a flick made in Malayalam called Boeing Boeing in which superstar Mohanlal acted. The movie was a tremendous success.

ur all messed up u dont like comedy films i loved the movie its a big hit ur alll stupid.
I'm pretty surprised to see you still writing reviews for rediff, as many expected you to be history after many disastrous and untruthful reviews like Mangal Pandey. I can't comment on your present review as I'm yet to watch the movie, but a safe bet would be to expect the opposite of your point-of-view. Having said so, having read the review twice, your point-of-view appears to be quite murky. You seem to have concentrated more on demonstrating your lingual skills than reviewer skills. Most phrases are so complicated (both verbally and logically) that it's impossible to understand even after 2 pints of beer. Since you are not writing for a British portal, my advice to you: please keep it simple in future (i.e by our bad luck, if you STILL happen to write reviews in future).

The indian people do follow the British version of the English Language. However, British spoken english is very simple and does not contain complicated words as you have claimed in your comment.
Guys.. the movie is really funny. I feel it better than all his previous hit commedies - Hera Pheri, Hungama and Hulchul .. Congrats - Akshay, John, Paresh & Priyan
Akshay kumar had increased his fee from 3.5 crores to 5.5 crores, after garammasala's big success

Akshay kumar had increased his fee from 3.5 crores to 5.5 crores, after garammasalas big success in India and huge success in Overseas (biggest grocer this year from overses beating Srk, Yash Raj and Karanjohar films released in 2005).
Garammasala beating collection records both in India and abroad.
by Box Office on Nov 16, 2005 05:52 AM
All time India First week Screen average collection ( Top 10 )
GaramMasala- 3,71,032, Main Hoon Na - 3,50,000, Bunty Aur Babli- 3,41,379, Veer Zaara- 3,40,000, Salaam Namaste-3,33,841, Mangal Pandey - 3,30,769, Koi Mil Gaya - 3,23,529, No Entry - 3,22,449, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham - 3,16,049, Sarkar - 3,11,019
In overseas this is the film which has got the kind of opening collection outside Yash Chopra/Karan Johar Camp. Trade says that it is expected to barge into the All time Overseas Gross Top 10 list. It is said to be going to beat the Overseas collections of present Top 10 holders Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Dil To Pagal Hai, Mohabbatein, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Main Hoon Na. If the collections remain as garam as now, it have the chance to beat Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kal Ho Na Ho, Devdas, Veer Zaara and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (Very unlikely).
Needless to say Garam Masala is really rocking. Priyadarshan had finally delivered a Big hit.
