This should be tweeted, but your limited to 140 characters.

I'm watching Ghanjani, some BollyWood film on iFC. It starts off as rip-off of Memento: some guy with amnesia looking for the killer of his girl.

And then like all Bollywood films, the singing kicks in. We're now in some romantic comedy showing the back story of how the guy with amnesia falls in love with the girl. It's a case of mistake identity. And singing.

When will it get back to the thriller?

UPDATE WITH REVIEW:
I was just looking for something to watch this morning as I was waking up, and I decided to check out one of the free channels that I get on DirectTV. It's the Independent Film Channel, iFC, showing their Sunday Bollywood programming. I let the station play as I was more interested in the morning's news on the blogs. That is until, that dude decided to beat some guy up. Then I was intrigued about the movie. Then they started in with the singing. And the movie went from some thriller to romantic comedy.

She was a struggling model low on her ad agency's actress list. He was the scion of the big telecom company. He's come back from America to take charge of the family business. She is somehow linked to him. She pretends he's her boyfriend. It works and she becomes the darling of the ad agency. They do finally meet. Cute. She thinks he's an aspiring actor. She helps him get a job with her clout. They sing and dance.

Then we go back to finding out how she dies. And we're back into Memento land and the bad ass kicking ass theme.

I was more interested in the romantic comedy. I wonder if that would make a better movie.
