adinarayanamoorthychanukya This movie really is a nightmare guys...Never in my entire life i thought i would watch something so worst
welshnew50 For me, after finding it a reasonably focused & not too difficult to understand constrained-range-of-opportunities shell-shock for the main character , & i became more interested than expected , However , as it neared the end, there was one scene in which hopefully , a poorly chosen / overall-left un-edited/re-added-to sequence, has a standing-side-by-side 'understanding' ,between two characters as things are starting to heat up between the Muslims & locals , in which one of the characters says in slow , extra film-time ,Something like ; let the doors open and another's wind will blow in, or something like that.(sigh). While I'm all for , ACTUALLY consistently applicable FOR ALL , & ABOUT ALL , sayings , patronizing , history manipulative BS like that, coming from history-editing scum that try to portray stuff like that, is STILL just as patronizing & full of it, as Mugdhal or Timur-ite 'wisdoms' , ever were , & whoever let it remain like that in can goto hell for all i care.While , yes , dismaying , regretful sayings have their value from the guilty parties' perspectives , understanding the past to be able to not make the same mistake again , especially if you've been punished for it ... but it was not appropriate for the relationships , and WHERE , choice was/was-not occurring - it was separated , a commentary of sorts.Such wisdoms of 'choice' , are meant to be warnings of memory & expectation - that one cannot EXPECT what a wind will bring , whereas to me that scene was commentary & out of place with much of the ordinary speech, wordless , wisdom-less , & beautiful in portrayal of people & NOT things convoluted-by-words & wisdoms ; scenes, people, & art.the simplicity of the characters although to some stereotyped , is suddenly whoooaa!! ... all of a sudden made politically contextual.my point being that while little attention needed to be paid to exactly what was happening to whom & why , one could absorb the emotional effects upon relationships with contextual breadth of implied differences between culture.while we could follow him and changes in his emotion as acted , or of changes in his character , all of a sudden there is a imposition of a YOU-left-the-door-open , slap in the face , which even offended an Aussie , practically a world away on mars , with Jack Nicholson Badgering me into command...eek !deliberate?& as for the very short lived "buying property" / burning ______ sub text lines that followed , need i say more.At that point , i was like, what happened?To the following of this character , & of what he could BRING , instead of becoming a visitor ; protecting the local girls , less-protecting of the the STREET low caste woman , etc , a transparent parental trash TV character.his dream sequence was MUCH more interesting. there was obviously much more going on in there than what we got when he had to awake again in melodrama-land.Disappointing at that point , but then also ruined by the unrealistic instant switch , from, two committed-believer groups about to kill each other, to ... what ... purifiers?*scoff* HA! nice try.neither would such groups suddenly switch to chase a mere street-pest ; & nor , would characters like the black-capped father thinking our main character the rapist, all of a sudden think he's deserving of 'human' treatment , simply because he wasn't a monkey.SPECISM, rather than sexism , or racism , is what we call that down here.Not civilization , not purity-of-humanism ... burying your head in the sand , & waking up to bear-hibernation-dreams , not bear-Gryls commitments... *scoff*Thank you, makers of Borat. you know why.Reversion. Disgraceful. More than the folks-back-home's don't-know-better'innocence' & whatnot.You would not be welcome here, unlike those amongst all others over there who can & do see what animals & other creatures have brought , & even for a Pakistani , further away from the unfamiliar , that would be a low blow.Satrap nonsense/illusion.Truly better bred quality , do not bastardize.They are reborn, poor or rich, via demonstration of equity & justice & things in NEITHER. Islam brought little other than suffering & death to millions then , & still does.A American idol dancer, is no heroine.The potential of realizations upon 'each other' , is locals / Muslims , but then passed onto SE Asians , over flying-prince winds , through shadows, but significantly , UPON them .Would GHANDI think passing the buck , a good thing , by Muslim , OR , Hinid / whatever standards ?I think not. shame shame.Were i your governor , you'd be getting a whipping. It is a indirect attempted bringing together of two religions & cultures that are NOT somehow now all neo-globally brought-together.'wisdom' , from RELIGION-EXPLOITING leaders of the past , regretful or not , should not be slipped in there suruptitiously.it will instead of creating peace , cause some to be attracted to that wisdom , now no doubt self-claimed by Islam.One does not need religion , to learn such. The INCLUSION of such , is only that. A inclusion in-amongst , not a dependency.people inconsiderate of each other's rights / 'person's to the point of violence, do not suddenly abandon their impositions so easily.i wish they do, but they don't.get over it.
Ninad Naval One of the better Hindi movies.....definitely. How rarely do you see a metaphor so beautifully woven in a story that you don't even realize that you are already a part of it. ROM has his way of story-telling and delivering a really good and positive message. Every director should try and be true to their work and script. Cinematography was awesome. Scenes of Kala-bandar roaming the city were very good. Exceptional cast. Great music score.....A.R. Rahman is really a magician. Music sets the mood outright and the lyrics convey a lot. Parallel working of Ram-leela and the story was great. Good character selection....every character is there to say something.....may it be arrogant policewala....untouchable 'jalebi'.....rich 'lalaji'.....or 'gobar'. This movie works beautifully in delivering the message that it wants to convey. A must watch for all movie-lovers...if you don't get it, you don't deserve it.
Avinash Patalay Too many big names associated with this project. Apart from the mammoth star-cast, please pay attention to the three "intellectual pool" of writers contributing to the ahem... broth. The answer lies somewhere in between "Brainstorming exercise gone haywire" or "paradigm shift went overboard". Juxtaposing is a tried and tested method for Mr. RO Mehra. The autobiographical attempt is presented with the narrative concept from Malgudi Days and juxtaposing the socio-economic Mini-India. Noble intentions indeed, sadly attempted too early considering his single-digit film-making career. There are shades of great directors in the attempt however the plot fails to connect. I will refrain to comment on performances and this is because the character seems "small" and the actor for the part "big". Practically, everybody seems grossly under-utilised. There is hardly any actor that stays on your mind after you walkout of the cinema. Just a second, it just struck me that Rishi Kapoor was in the movie as well. Music is innovative and loaded with good tracks. However owing to the pot-hole the Malgudi Days drops everybody into, the songs are truncated big time and lose their very purpose. Well under-utilised there again.The last 15-minutes takes a complete mickey out of the audience. Whoever came up with it let me assure you it was a monkeys idea. Not removing the mask at the very least saved further damage. And yo - from where did the flat-liner bit seep in? With "Aks" Mr. RO Mehra learnt a valuable lesson about the importance of screenplay. The debacle of D-6 would have contributed to the learning curve I am sure. PS:: Jr B's accent - nay!!! Should have let him be... or watch Siddharth Makkar in "Straight" from as a reference point.
