2 down, 1 more to go.
Small budget movies are blink and you will miss kinds mostly due to all the crunching which leads to a certain lack of marketing. But if you do blink and miss these 2 movies, boy you sure are missing out on something.
Whoever says that small budget movies by relatively unknown directors don't usually do well should eat their words. These may not show you the kind of first day turnover that a Fanaa or Krishh may get but believe me, to me they are infinitely better.
Say Salaam India.
There have been many cricket movies like Lagaan, Iqbal etc, but this one stands out from the rest due to the sheer non star ensemble that he movie has. Absolutely wonderful to see a whole movie where you can see normal people and kids. Some known faces do feature out of which Sanjay suri has most footage and he has done a good job. Its not a perfect movie but believe me, if a movie can make me enjoy cricket, it better be good! (considering how completely oblivious to sports I am, yes even cricket!)
I do think that the timing of the movie sucks, considering how badly we lost. There is so much resentment against the cricket team that the constant mention of them in this movie may not be received well. I just wish they had released his before the world cup, the team may have played a wee bit better after seeing this :P
I do not intend to make this a review of any sorts but this movie will definitely find a niche with the younger crowd of today. Its almost like JJWS sans the babes :))

So much said and written about this movie. Some loved it immensely, some found it to be a damper. All said and done, this movie is funny. I mean in a deliberate manner, sometimes even annoyingly so. Storyline drags a bit and I wish it was racier, but it has its moments. Vinay definitely deserves the footage he has in this movie. I just wish Ranvir had more to do, he is just so damn funny. He is one of those people like Mahmood or Johnie lever or hey days who look funny. When they come on screen, you are already ready for a goofy time.
The movie for most parts is very very urban even though the core of the movie revolves around this very regular 9-5 kinda guy. Just wish it was breezier.
hmmm.. all in all very watchable...
ps: The title was meant to indicate that as of the moment i wrote this, I had 1 more movie to go (TRRP). But that yes.. was not even worth writing about.
