Movie Review - Koi... Mil Gaya

I just reviewed a movie yesterday and the post started with "Let me start by saying this movie is not what you think it is." I think I could say the same thing for Koi... Mil Gaya, but then again, I watched this movie with no clue of what to expect.

So let me start (again) by saying this movie is SOMETHING ELSE. I watched it with some friends because Netflix insisted it was a movie I needed to watch. It showed up in several lists, including the "Top Picks for Cody" list. This is surprising for me because I've never watched a Bollywood movie before, but there's a first for everything!

Because I've never seen this genre of movie, I have a hard time giving a fair review of Koi... Mil Gaya, but I will say that throughout this movie, my friends and I were thoroughly entertained, though perhaps sometimes it was for the wrong reasons. As a friend puts it, this film was filled with singing, dancing, and Scooby-Doo themed clothes." Though I doubt the Scooby-Doo clothes were intentional.

I will say this: Koi... Mil Gaya gave me a look into another culture's film with one of the most unique movie plot's that I have ever seen. If you have the time and can tolerate watching a movie in another language, give this one a shot! At the very least, you'll be entertained, and who knows, maybe you'll love it!
