Reservations - a resurgent India or beyond common sense : a take by an elusive critic with a high backlift
I am very tired and people say your mind is the most clear when the body is exhausted. This post, therefore, is a direct contradiction to the same.That reminds me of a theory we (Shiva and I) had come up with. It is universal and contradictory in every bit. See if you disagree.
Every theory has pros and cons.Including this.
Anyway, i was at San Jose on the mem day weekend. Visiting dark lord and co. It was good fun. We got to watch three movies on three days. One Hindi (with sub-titles for shiva), One Gult (again), One Tam. We could only manage the 12'o clock night show reminiscent of IIT days.
Fan-aa. Though, i am a die-hard aamir fan, i left the theatre feeling a little void and desperately trying to find something positive about it. It was difficult but you could find a few elements here and there. Its okie for a one time watch. Kajol looks stunning and flows fluidly through the movie.
Godavari. Another feel good movie. It had made shiva realize the kind of girl he wants to marry.I love kamilinee. She speaks so much with her eyes, a rare quality to be found in the actresses these days. A real treat to watch and i suggest it to all non-gults as well. The film needs a good editing though. Especially, the parts with the hero.
Pudhu-pettai. Nayi Basti for the uninitiated. Making of a don, which reminds you of all the godfathers, velu nayakans. Although, the director has a few scences borrowed from Godfather, it has been rendered very artistically. The bloodshed is la- kill bill. Crimson goes really well with black and white. The ending was a confused mess (for me).
Heri-Pheri-II might be a good comedy. But, i would love to see another aamir-salman comedy. Something on the lines of andaz apna apna. More on this later.Its getting late and tomm is Friday.

Yeah. I know
What? You liked Andaaz Apna Apna??? Sorry, that was a totally retarded movie.
So, what was your take on reservations again? And, Casa, AAA is a great movie. Someone just has to make me start mouthing AAA dialogues and I cannot stop. I think its definitely one of the best Hindi comedies, if not the best. Retarded or not, comedies are supposed to make you laugh, and AAA does a great job at that.
So did u c India getting walloped by Windies ?
I cannot believe someone actually dissed AAA??? What has this world come to?
@casa U suck, have lost all ur taste in good humor, AAA is the best Hindi comedy to come out of Bollywood ever. In fact I am gonna go and catch a fafillionth rerun on my DVD right abt now
@totti Wth u trashed Fanaa, thats so agaist the unwritten code of not trashing any AK movie (btw its the biggest 3 day opner in Bollywood ever also try and locate the 13th rankig movie in the US weekend box office collections)
I liked fanaa actually:)
ok...but do think ur destiny is decided? or rephrasing it...ur past (fate) wud have been destiny long time back? what do u say?
@casa- your comment has taken the focus away from the whole post :). Even my grand theory has been overlooked. i will put forth it sometime again
@mudit - i remember siddhu and i were sitting with a gujrati girl in colombo airport going over the whole andaz apna apna movie.And, she couldn't stop laughing :))
@point5 - you desist!
@anon - yeah..but casa is a special case...so..
@rohan - i was with shiva..so thats why i probably didnt appreciate it fully..with occasional snorts and sniggers at "senti" scenes...
@susu - we shud watch it again and i will see if i change my mind
@tom - how is it going machaan? more discussions back at F6??
