Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Nice thoughts,Ashok. Well,I would say...it is..a decently portrayed Hindi movie..about the big bad world of poverty,crime..with...tons of shit,..lots of abuses thrown in...,and just to make the package more appealing..,a love story,in typical Hindi movie style.. Certainly worth once viewing,for Hindi filmy audiences..,but not worth...s... We have seen these gory details..in many such..Hindi movies..including one..by Madhur Bhandarkar..called Traffic Signal,some months ago... I think,(my...vote..)..would go..to Amir Khan's Lagaan..if had to,instead of this.movie. Shyam(84) Jai Ho !! Hearty Congratulations to AR Rahman for bagging two s ! And he had such poise accepting the awards ... I just couldn't believe it ! Couple weeks ago ...there was an outcry about the content of the movie -- and I had joined in too... I am not changing my stand ( even though I have still not seen the movie ) ... but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the movie was based on a book by Vikas Swaroop ( Indian ! ). Inspite of my misgivings....it brought such joy to see the movie win so many s....to see Indian dance ( fusion ) and AR Rahman sing. ( May be I wouldn't have enjoyed Bollywood's moment of glory...if I had seen the movie and been very bitter ?? ). But as the s were coming close it was very amusing to see how unanimously people ( the likes of Jay Leno ! ) were getting excited of the movie winning the s ! And interestingly people were going Ga Ga not about the depiction of poverty but about the heart rendering ( love )story line and the bollywood hallmark of song and dance !! Confused but proud desi, Ashok ' 84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
