REVIEW: Prince

PRINCE OF TWITS: Twitter review

What does a reviewer do when a movie defies all logic and goes from one implausible situation to an even more bizarre situation? Fellow journalist Aniruddha Guha and I decided to concentrate on the funnest part of the movie: the dialog. You'll read the story and hear PR spiel about the action scenes in the newspapers but they will not make you want to buy the screenplay or the DVD. So when the alcohol content in your blood is way beyond legal, then watch the DVD, you will enjoy Prince in its true glory.

Are you ready to enjoy gems from Prince?

I know I should have stopped at 15, or added a few more to reach 20. But then the film does not work within normal bounds of logic, then why should I?

Even I, with my limited and solely movie-based Hindi, know that Tweet #1 is a DOOZY. :) Much to my dismay, this is not coming to my area, but I will be awaiting the DVD anxiously (and drunkenly).

ML, is it 'raavan ke rath se'? My dysfunctional ears heard 'raavan ke rakth se!' :)
