Fashion isn’t so fashionable

December 22, 2008

Typical village belle all set to tread the challenging paths in a bid to realise her dreams, the much guessable  traps she falls into, the attitude and brick-bats she learns as she climbs the ladder,wardrobe malfunctions and the increasinlgly acceptance of gay culture in the modern era……

Huh!!..aren’t we sick of these concepts..This time Madhur Bhandarkar fails to impress.A sensational topic but handled in a very immature way.At a point, the movie goes haywire focusing on stuff that cud happen to anyone irrespective of fashion industry.

Poor comedy, unimpressive script, sick casting couch concept,wealthy high class married men bedding new faces in the market,unrelated scenes in the midst of nowhere, an expected climax(Phew!! the movie doesnt have any..) and lack of  powerful artists all contribute to the failure of a good storyline..

Priyanka cud have been the saving grace, had she finetuned her acting skills.She couldn’t potray all the emotions needed for the powerful n versatile role. Suits more for a model than an actress.She has already begun to show signs of aging as well.Going back to the industry after being battered to death of a character, but with modesty n humbleness is the least twist one can expect .

Kangana is always shown  stressed out, indulging in dope n drinks, finally losing her life to the habits she caught up within the industry.. Mugdha Godse seems a hot babe… Cleavage and smoke rule the roost in the movie..

Few good dialogues:

–Achieving success is not  just the end of game, one has to know how to handle it as well.

—You feel most lonely in ur life when your own conscience abandons you

The Happening drives…..

June 17, 2008

Manoj N. Shyamalan does it again. Kudos to this living legend whose creativity quotient is unmatched in the Sci-fi movie genre.If you thought ‘Sixth Sense’ and ‘The invincibles’ made you wonder about the unnatural, mysterious forces acting upon human kind, this movie is all set to outdo them all…

A simple phenomena about how the grey matter’s defensive signals can get counter attacked by a typical plant kingdoms stimuli response mechanism and inturn lead to a forced suicidal behavior in humans is what Mr. Manojs latest flick talks about. I didn’t feel scary during the whole course of the movie but had nightmares due to which I had to go late to work.

For those of you who are expecting to get a glimpse of Shyamalan in this movie, I wud like to leak the secret, he is none other than Joey(the actress extramarital character who viewers thought was introduced for namesake for he is nowhere seen in the movie) . This is not a typical Manoj movie behaviour.I found this in imdb.

Pssstt!!!!…I have a secret desire to meet this director in person. God are you listening????

Every child is indeed very special

December 25, 2007

I guess this movie should be given the movie of the millenium award.A theme so unconventional, a story so rare, a boy who is talented enough to potray the dyslexic character in him.

Over and above all, kudos to aamir khan for bringing forth a much untouched genre of film industry–the children.He is infact richly rewarded for playing with a risky, sensitive topic.

I was really reminded of my childhood.I wont call this movie funfilled, sensational or amazing, but it is simply thought-provoking. Parents making their children a mannenquins for their unfelt desires is a very common scenarion nowadays, but the subtleness with which Darsheel plays the role of a disturbed child is mind blowing. A laugh hearty enugh to create ripples of smiles on audience, tears realistic enugh to make people cry, behaviour smart enough to keep audience go gaga over him. This is what Master  Darsheel is in a nut shell.

May every child in this world get his due of happiness!!!!!
