Raj&Pablo | 09:58 UK time, Tuesday, 30 December 2008

Hope you all had a fantastic Xmas and the Jolly Bolly Santa was good to you. He was to us ...we are having a fantabolous time sitting in for Nihal you guys have had us in stitches - hope you are enjoying the shows! So what are your New Year's resolutions?

Raj's Resolutions: Get a SRK six pack, trunks like John's and go topless for the summer! Predictions; Neil Nitin Mukesh will make a breakthrough and Akshay willΜύ outshine both Aamir and SRK.

Pablo's Resolutions: Get an Aamir eight pack and hairdo. My predictions are that Harman will finally make the grade after Love Story 2050.

We had a fab time on Saturday on the programme - Anoushka was great, do have a listen again! With the New Year almost upon us heres what ourΜύhits and misses were for 2008.

Μύ

Raj'sΜύFive Worst:

  • Drona

    • Abhishek Bachcan plays a rather grumpy superhero

    • Kay Kay Menon was apparently the most expensive villain in Bollywood, he wasn't worth it!

    • Priyanka Chopra learnt Ghatka for her role as Drona's bodygaurd, what a shame her hard work didn't pay off and make the film a hit.

    • Jaya Bachcan plays Drona's mother.

  • Money Hai To Honey Hai

    • Govinda, Govinda, Govinda - what more can I say?

    • Also starred Manoj Bajpai, Aftab Shivdesani, Upen "token British actor" Patel, and Celina Jaitley.

    • Hansika Motwani made her Bollywood debut in this flick.

    • Hansika was 19 when she was paired opposite Govinda!

  • Karzzz

    • Another remake, another flop.

    • Himesh tries to take on the role of Monty which was once played by Rishi Kapoor.

    • why did they bother? Even the extras looked bored.

  • Mere Baap Pehle Aap

    • Akshaye Khanna, Genelia D'Souza and Paresh Rawal plus Priyadarshan equals FLOP!

  • Maan Gaye Mughal e Azam

    • It was supposed to be a comedy.

    • Starring Malaika Sherawat, Rahul Bose and Paresh Rawal.

    • It spoofed Mughal E Azam a bit.

Μύ

Pablo'sΜύFive Best

  • Fashion

    • Madhur Bhandarkar's take on the Fashion Industry.

    • Priyanka Chopra plays a girl from Chandigar who moves to Mumbai with dreams of becoming a supermodel!

    • Kangana plays a hard hitting role as a supermodel with a dangerous addiction.

    • The film follows Priyanka's characters journey to superstardom.

  • Jodhaa Akhbar

  • Ashutosh Gowarikar's masterpiece.

  • Starring Hristhik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

  • We learn about history and get to see how the Maharaja's and Maharani's lived.

  • Ghajini

    • Starring Aamir Khan, Jiah Khan and Asin.

    • Inspired by Hollywood flick Momento.

    • Aamir is seen in a new avatar - six pack in tow!

    • It's already been packing out cinema houses!

  • Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

    • Aditya Chopra returns to reel life with Shah Rukh Khan once again.

    • The film introduces newcomer Anushka Sharma.

    • This film will light up your life ji!

    • ΜύSee Shah Rukh looking geeky as Suri.

    • If I had a shave and dressed differently, would you not recognise me Raj?

  • Dostana

    • Karan Johar produces this comedy with a cheeky twist!

    • John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan play bigare hua Maa de laadle!

    • Priyanka Chopra also stars and is seen in a shimmering swimsuit whilst John is seen in yellow trunks emerging out of the sea like a water god!

    Pablo'sΜύFive Worst

    • Mehbooba
      • Manisha Koirala's return to the big screen proved to be a bit of a damp squib really
      • Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan couldn't save this one.
      • I think they may have been going for a romantic epic, but this was disaster of Titanic proportions! The ship not the movie!
    • Woodstock Villa
      • Sikandar Kher didn't really make a mark in Bollywood, unlike his filmi parents.
      • So it was meant to be a thriller but it didn't really thrill me.
      • Neha Oberoi, Arbaaz Khan and Sanjay Dutt also made appearances.
    • Gumnaam
      • Starring Mahima Chaudhary, Suman Ranganathan and Dino Morea.
      • It was supposed to be a mystery...the only thing that's mysterious about it is why it took four years to get a release, and it so wasn't worth it!
      • The film follows an aspiring actress...
      • The action sequences in this flick were choreographed the same guy who worked on Dhoom.
    • Mere Baap Pehle Aap
      • Directed by the one and only Priyadarshan.
      • Starring Paresh Rawal, Akshaye Khanna and Genilia D'Souza.
      • This was supposed to be a comedy but it didn't make me laugh...
    • Karzzz
      • The Remake of Subash Ghai's Rishi Kapoor starrer.
      • Himesh Reshamaiya takes up the role of Monty.
      • Ravi Verma was played by Dino Morea.
      • If you were Dino Morea and was reborn as Himesh wouldn't you feel a bit cheated?
      • Himesh showed off his new hair in this flick.
      • Urmilla Matondkar took up the role the Simi Garewal originally did.

    What were yours?.....let us know ..........see you all in 2009..........
