Mr Gowariker,

I live in the US now but I used to live in Vile Parle not very far from where you used to live. I remember seeing you few times at On Toes in Vile Parle with Paresh Rawal. Whenever I saw you, I used to think ..here is the guy from Kachi dhoop show who played insignificant roles in shows like Circus and made interesting but flop films like Pehla Nasha and Baazi...Never imagined in my life that you were so talented and when I saw Lagaan and Jodha Akbar I was blown away....You are one of the very few directors who is taking Bollywood in the right direction. We are proud of you!

In "fashion" priyanka played a model and had different kinds of personalities. Being naive, gullible, small town girl, confident, a supermodel, immoral, depressed to name a few as her charactr progressed. But it doesn't mean that priyanka played 6 different models based on these personalities. Thers no need for a big thing as astrology,sun sign etc... to determine the personality. That character ws who she is.

If you wnt different characters, the recent movie "dasavathaaram" had kamal hassan playin 10 characters. Although in indian cinema sanjeev kumar and sivaji ganeshan played 9, dasavathaaram and what's your rashee are entertaining and the recent ones. In the tamil movie, 10 characters are presented as who they are and are portrayed so excellent that it doesn't have the astrology as a premise. Kamal hassan portrayed them as they are in normal life, with a chaos theory as premise and incidents havin characters overlapping.

But in WYR? as U.S Variety magazine critic rob nelson noted that the movie is based on a silly premise and each character is portrayed only in terms of clothing,hair style, and body language to an extent. Bt with the songs and its running time, its hardly exciting to see tht 1 actress is trying so hard to appeal to the guy. W.o him throwing up in disbelief tht it's the coincidental "look like" in regards to the characters.

I like the story, but its not really 12 characters i am looking at rather its 12 personalities in just 1 character.

what's your rashee???

Intially ws excited to see what's your rashee and especially the story nd its characters portrayed by the director. One person doing 12 characters is not really a portrayal as rashee's consist of only personalities and not necessarily "different characters". So obviously, 12 different actresses will be better in order to go by the idea of bridging personalities with different "people". "Mr.Yogi" in the 90's was much better in presenting this story and what's more exciting was the different women. Here in the movie, it's the same person and w.o prosthetic it's not that exciting anymore. Since the soul of the story are these "women" not "woman", and it's odd to expect harman not being surprised/shocked by every girl he sees since it's the same face he meets.

I also disagree about the director's vision nt havin 12 actres b.c as he said audience will only focus on beauty, and think that the girl that is chosen is the star and "fairest" of all in the movie. Moreover, the director said that priyanka doing all characters means that the guy is going to chose the same girl. But that contradicts the idea of 12 "different characters", as it's not characters but personalities and the sun sign is only the premise of the story. While priyanka is promoting her 12 "different characters" which everyone is obviously excited, the director is saying it's the same girl but different sun signs. Overall sun signs doesn't make an entirely different person, only a different personality.
