Featured review
great film... with one of the best script i had ever known...
Damn good... let me tell you one thing... if u really want to watch the movies with the best scripts... watch those with small actors like sanjay mishra, vinay pathak, vijay raaj, neha dhupia, rajat kapoor, abhay deol in lead role and specially the low budget movies. yeah... here... when i m talking about low budget films, i can't keep myself without suggesting this one-'kya delhi, kya lahor'. the whole film moves around a small hut and the requirments were 'three rifles and some wooden boxes'. these actors are the best in this field but not at the top because of the need of commercialization of films. the top actors n directors have the sole motive to make money by any means, at any cost. they don't think much about the script. moreover they make movies according to the demand of the actors, situation and public not according to the demand of the script. they can modify the scripts but not the other factors.
recently i had participated in a debate under the topic 'hollywood is light years away from bollywood' the arguments were pretty surprising and the conclusion i could make as a result of the debate burst my head. If we have had make movies like 'barah aana', 'aankho dekhi', 'pappu can't dance saala', phas gaya re obama', 'dasvidaniya', 'purani jeans' etc with top bollywood actors like srk, aamir khan, akshay kumar, the hollywood would be no way arround the indian cinema. The movies couldn't make enough money and success because they couldn't make much people to watch them. even for 'barah aana' there are only 14 reviews since it was released(2009). ok i have talked much about the cinema stuffs. let me guide you about the movie now otherwise they will fire my review as you know that this is the world of commercialization, here 'they' don't make films instead the 'films' make them.
12 aana is one of the best among all the films i have watched yet. during the 1 hr 35 minutes film nashruddin shah spoke nothing during first 1 hr and 17 minutes. i had thought he was dumb but i was wrong. he spoke, and when he spoke it just changed the scenario of the film. truly the weightage of each of his words are no less than thousand words. The movie depicts the tragedy the situations and complication of slum people. we meet with these type of people in our daily life, the watchman, the drivers, the waiters and we also know in the real world people like kidnappers, murderers, thieves also exist but we never bother to relate these two type of people. the latter is the result of the former. The ending of the film was outstanding it couldn't be any better. i just yelled when i noticed the reason of nashruddin shah laughing when he was caught.
don't make me write everything. it's great. just watch it.
