Saawariya............A Treat to the eyes..but




Not of the minds....Yes inspite of the mind blowing aesthetics of SLB and the awe inspiring sets used Saawariya lacks the final push that makes a block buster differ from a petty average...The film is really a treat to watch with the brilliance of light and shade and the exquisite display of antic jewelery and chiffon...
Soonam is too sweet but her dialog throws are quite faint and as shy as the character itself..Ranbir adds glamour but its actually "gulabji"...Rani who adds a tinge of vintage SLB to the movie...
The songs are the best part of the movie...And overall it was worth the bucks but you do not come out of the hall feeling happy...The final happy ending or "Picture abhi baki hai bhai" theory does seem to amuse SLB much...For me it was just a good movie but sorry to say cannot add a brilliant tag to it....Poetic brilliance and great sense of showmanship might pull it through to match the budget a hit in Bollywood is still far from the sweet Sonaam and macho Ranbir...
The hype had made us expect a bit too much but finally i would say it did not live up to the expectations however i would still insist its a must watch of the year..or you will miss the eye soother....
Have not been able to catch OSO yet...But will shortly....Wait for it...

i think happy endings are a cliche...they seldom occur in real life.anyway,the "picture perfect" ending of OSO seemed a drwan out labouriously unreal affair.
great review though!

I can't say anything about either of the two movies coz I haven't watched any of them! I have only heard that OSO is better than Saawariya.

Beche Thakar Gaan

A Different Feel by Osibek Pal on Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 2:50pm  To, Manimanjari Sengupta THIS IS NOT A TRANSLATION OR AN INTERPRETATION OF THE SONG, ITS THE ENGLISH VERSION , OF " BECHE THAKAR GAAN" ORIGINAL VERSION BY ANUPAM ROY, WRITTEN IN THE SAME THEME, HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME OBVIOUS DIFFERENCES IN THOUGHT, FOR THE SAKE OF RHYME SCHEME, LET ME KNOW HOW YOU LIKE THIS VERSION...   Force me to forget a paintbrush..  And learn just light and dark..   Remember ,I wont comply...  Wont Pragmatise life, if you ask...     Banish me from your life's tell tale...  I wouldn't complain.... But ask me to justify my love...   I wouldn't , not if I am slain..     Cause, I have seen it all, known it all...  Quick sand, is not just for the beaches...  It has drained life, breath, blood and love,  let alone petty riches..     Cause, I have seen it all, known it all, ti...

Untiled

It all started in Presidency College. The first kiss,  the first bout of anger,  the first getting wet in the rain. Shreya and Srijan loved what they had. They loved being in love,  cuddly, cosy and always into each other.  They were the sort,  who were outcasted from society due to their "coupletiness" . They existed in a world segregated from friends,  family. They were mesmerised by each other,  in a sense they started living in a virtual world that they created, until one day when Srijan went abroad. He realised the potential of being alone,  of creating for himself,  for the joy which he didn't know could come from sheer self indulgence. He realised the matters if the heart blunts the brain, cripples it,  makes it focus on things which need lesser attention. He realised that the relationship though beautiful was a hindrance. He realised that the world is a vast place and "perfect" can't lie within one.... Years went by and t...

Well life Goes On

Its not about Partying, Pissing or even panting in the Summers.....Its more of what you call you know what...Yes The Ramblings of my little heart somehow goes Pitter - patter at her sight but well I know like she doesn't feel so...Its more of being In an excitable state the love rather overcomes infatuation but well life sucks .Some has in Orkut "The Gravity Is all Shit....Its The earth Tat Sux"Rite he is absolutely perfect but then again it goes on....In 11 its more of a rat race which if you win you will be eligible for one more rat race and if you are not eligible you get kicked out...Hey that should not be the way...I am a simple person but I might just have an ambition the size of a Sky Scraper...Well unrealistic in today's world but very much possible....today is one of the sad days in the life of many Xaverians....Yes Yes Mr.B K Ganguli has retired I have not been fortunate enough to be taught by him but from what i have heard he was an excitable prospect....
