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...

Rupsha always had the final say. No matter what Sohail wrote, she had to edit. Just had to. Sohail was a brilliant author, he could paint with words. He could tickle, provoke,  incite and excite with his pen but he was too casual with construction and punctuation.. Rupsha knew that after was done with it,  it was a perfect piece. She knew Sohail wrote for her,  he always had, for the last 6 years she was all he wrote for... Sometimes explicitly, sometimes subtly but the objective was always a nod of approval from her. Sohail loved that look,  curly hair,  kohl laden eyes and that smile which meant the world to him.... Sohail wrote something today... Rupsha wasn't there to edit anymore... Rupsha saw it on Facebook.... She went through it... It had so many errors... Yet it struck the heart, just as it always did.... But she knew she couldn't correct him anymore,  the mistakes were too personal... She had lost the right... Sohail still wrote... Now for...
