REVIEW: Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai

ALIEN MOVIES RULE

I love alien movies. Aliens land on earth, they whisk away unsuspecting earthlings and probe them, they eat earthlings, they want to colonize us, assimilate us, leave babies inside us. They are gorgeous (remember Species?) What an awesome scene when she tries on bras?), they are ugly (Cockroach like alien in Men In Black), they are scary even (the alien from Alien is the scariest ever). They are hilarious (in Mars Attacks and in Scary Movie 3) as well. What they are not, is boring. Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai is so boring, only people who need to snooze in the air conditioned comfort of a theater should buy tickets.

There are plenty of aliens though: Music is alien to this film (the singer sounds like he's sitting butt naked on a block of ice and too cold to enunciate the words), design is alien (drive-in, the gold pillars at the party set, and we spotted Parachute hair oil on Riteish's bedside table), acting is alien (don't get me started!) even the story is alien to this thing called Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai.

Here's a list of alien movies the makers should have looked at before they 'wrote' this rubbish.

Alien, ET, Star Wars, Enemy Mine, Mars Attacks, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Plan 9 From Outer Space, War Of The Worlds, Spaced Invaders, Forbidden Planet, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, Independance Day, Dream Catcher, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, Spaceballs, Signs, Lost In Space, Vampires From Outer Space, Planet Of The Vampires, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Terminator, Superman, Predator, Stargate, The Hidden, The Thing, The Blob, Screamers, Life Force, Star Trek, Men In Black, Starship Troopers, Earth Vs The Flying Saucers, The Fifth Element, Mission To Mars, K-PAX, Evolution, Species, Pitch Black, District 9, The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The Eighth Dimension, The Abyss, Total Recall, Cocoon, The Last Star Fighter, Earth Girls Are Easy, The Faculty, The Arrival, Village Of The Damned, My Stepmother Is An Alien, Cloverfield, Fire In The Sky...

And if this list is not enough, here are TV shows they can look up and be inspired: Mork & Mindy, Alf, 3rd Rock From the Sun and last but not the least: CONEHEADS

If after all this, you wish to see the film, the take my advice. Take a barf bag with you. the sight of Amrita Rao dressed as the alien sister, dressed in gold boots, gold shorts, gold bra top, gold beads, gold eyeshadow is so gross you will need it. Or use the popcorn tubs...
