'Lafangey Parindey' is certainly a front runner for one of the worst mainstream Bollywood releases of the year. It will try your patience and give you a throbbing headache - about all it does with any success. The only people who deserve to see this film are Rahul Mahajan and the CEO of British Petroleum.

Hahaha, that bad? Somehow I doubt it. Did this guy not see Dil Bole Hadippa?
ReplyDelete^ All that guy sees is the tiny dick of Anurag Kashyap
ReplyDeleteoh well, this was always going to happen....
ReplyDeleteHas Anupama Chopra been replaced on NDTV? Good if that's the case.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what about Raja Sen? I miss him bashing movies. He was always funny.
Btw, Deepika is going the way of all the other ditzes on Twitter. She's retweeting all positive reviews about herself.
ReplyDeleteRaja Sen had already "buried" the film, without seeing it. I predict a surprise above average BO outcome for this one.
ReplyDeleteHahahah! Interesting exchange about Lafangey Parinday:
