Synopsis for Chocolate
Christmas Eve, London. While the snow-clad city gets ready to celebrate the festival of peace and joy, a series of bizarre incidents shatter the Christmas calm. A couple of luckless Indians find themselves hauled by the London police and made scapegoats. Or are they?Chocolate unfolds a web of sinister plots, slowly unearthing true and mystifying personalities of seven individuals. Seven high-strung, distinctive people who've chosen to remain in the foreign land hoping to make or break their lives.Krish (Anil Kapoor) is a sharp and egotistical lawyer who has unmatched legal skills. Rocker (Sunil Shetty) is and obsessed lover clear about one thing ? nothing comes in his way. Pipi (Irfan Khan) is a soulful thinker who would always prefer to tread the hard but right path. Tubby (Arshad Warsi) is a playboy. Sim (Tanushree Dutta) is a temptress with a dubious past. Devaa (Emran Hashmi) is a passionate musician who sees the world in black and white. Mansoon (Sushma Reddy) is a charming down-on-her luck journalist. Even as the dust settles and the truth slowly unravels, one thing remains clear ? sometimes it's best not to ask too many questions.

What I liked was the atitude the gang followed, were not even true to their lawyer and still managed to get out of the situation. Smart people!!! :)

Verdict: Can Skip! All may not like it.

Love Story

Produced by: Howard G. Minsky
Directed by: Arthur Hiller
Written by: Erich Segal
Music by: Francis Lai
Starring: Ali MacGraw, Ryan O'Neal
Distributed by: Paramount Pictures

Love Story , is based on Best seller novel Lover Story by Erich Segal. Not having read the book I cannot comment on the sensitivity of the scenes as they were written but the way it has been picturised.
The opening scene of the moive is definitely very dynamic and different but again it being a love story I felt something was missing.

Verdict: May want to watch for the popularity of the Novel!!!
