My take on Fanaa

It took me a little more than 23 years to write my first blog and I couldn't even resist more than two days to pen down the next one. Although i recieved alot of appreciation(had to advertise alot for those good words:-)) from the people who matter, for my first blog I somehow found it a little strange on my part o have started off with a very serious blog on a very critical social issue. I felt it right so I did it at that point of time and now not wasting much time on rhetorics I will give you a light hearted review (my personal remarks) on the latest release of this week without revealing the story line....not revealing the story line because the movie is good...and since seldom do you find a good watchable hindi movie you should go and see it at the theatre rather than hear the story from me...Let me tell you how the movie appeals to me, makes me say it is good and is thankfully so different from the other mindless capers ....dished out in great numbers by Bollywood every weekend...for starters i liked the screen play of the movie, the dialogues, the richness of the language (and in parts their originality too....) what i wonder is that though someone can argue that you need big bucks to asemble the star cast that this film boasts of, how do you explain the needless inclusion of semi clad women (perfectly accepted if the script so demands), nasal noisy songs, gaudy item numbers and pathetic screen play with a lack of story to boot in the movies of today....which for me brings out a pertinent point about life in general....if your work lacks sincerity, honesty and discipline, innovation and brightness and you are on the look out for quick success (read money), more often than not you would fail...I see myself deviating into the draw backs of the Indian cinema so i wll spare these thoughts for a boring blog some other day:)...it has made good progress over the past few years and i am optimistic...then Tabu usually a very impressive actress in even "blink your eyes, you miss it" roles (remember her in Saathiya) is i feel wasted in the movie and doesn't look credible enough....Thats it...Go watch the movie and yeah no wqrds of praise do justice to the outstanding performance of the leading lady of the movie....
Cheers,
Sid
