Billu Barber ...When Lah!

I have not had the chance to watch it but am just dying too! I can give you a review of it from what I have read but then you can go and find websites yourself to do that. The thing is, it is only showing at Sunway Pyramid and Mid Valley and of course the show times are really odd.

I hope to be able to watch it on Friday night, or perhaps Thursday. Two of my girlfriends already said wait for the VCD lah and only my other die-hard fan, Miss Shuriana, is anxiously waiting for me to give her a date!

Billu tells the story of a simple ordinary man, Bilas Rao Pardesi (Irrfan Khan), living in a small town with his wife Bindiya (Lara Dutta) and two kids. His life undergoes a drastic change as superstar Sahir Khan (Shah Rukh Khan) visits the village for a film shoot. Everything changes. Things go from good to bad to worse to good again.

SRK's track is equally fascinating and only spices up the proceedings. In fact, Priyadarshan has amalgamated the three songs (featuring SRK with Deepika, Priyanka and Kareena) in the narrative smartly. Not once do you feel that you're watching two stories concurrently. The best part of the enterprise is its climax. The superstar recalls his humble beginning and how his friend stood by him in times of crisis. The writing is brilliant and SRK only takes the scene to greater heights with his terrific portrayal.

Some people think this is the movie that he shot here in Malacca which rewarded him with the Datuk title. It is not lah! That was an older movie.

I can't wait to see it! Will tell you all about it then ...
