Bourne's good though.
I'd prefer it if <i>some</i> Indian movies always kept the song-and-dance tradition alive - tasteful ones I mean. It's part of Indian culture, even if I'm not a great fan )of modern song-dance insertions) most of the time. But sometimes it even helps in storytelling instead of hampering it. (Been a while since I watched any film, let alone Indian cinema - hard to find non-pirated rentals, so I am behind on whether the song-dance thing has taken a turn for the worse.)
'Dishoom dishoom' - oh, that brings back childhood memories! You know, when we all imitated this sort of thing at home, complete with lame slow-motion moves and the all-important sound-effects... I remember it like it was yesterday. Oh wait, it probably was yesterday... <!--emo&
