Love Aaj Kal (2009)
Imtiaz ali all the way
I have been listening to the music of Love Aaj Kal for many a days on my way to work. To be quite frank, out of the overly repeated 3 songs on the radio the only one that sounds good anymore is chor bazaari.
I watched this movie yesterday. I went in with high expectations having seen jab we met and enjoying it and another one of imtiaz's movie(name skips my mind) as well.
Needless to say he did not disappoint. His directional skills were upto par with his previous movies if not better. The editing team was good too and so was the camera work. The movie did not have many one liners which is always a plus point.
But that's about it. As good as I found the above 3 aspects of this movie ,I found the acting to be below par, the worst acting in the movie was done by that girl who had a crush on saif, followed by deepika then rishi kapoor and list goes on. (saif is the saving grace).
But this is definitely not the low point of the movie. The movie lacks a decent story line. Its just bad.period. Imtiaz's direction redeems the movie from being extremely bad to watchable once.
All I hope right now is this new guy gets some acclaim for saving a bad script and gets to work on projects where he actually has something to work with.
in a nut shell 4points to imtiaz, 1 point to saif, 1 point to editing team
Deewangee (2002)
man was i in for a surprise
Firstly to get stuff straight, I am a huge fan of ajay devgan and consider urmila to be one of the better actresses in cinema today.All i heard about this movie was that "ajay devgan did an awesome job prolly his best so far" by a lot of my friends(i personally consider legend of bhagat singh a better work). This movie made me realize that i need 2 screen my movies a lot more carefully. Primal fear was... correction is one of my fav thrillers of all time. creating a mockery out of it by adding a "redemption" hour and a half is not good. the least they could have done is read the novel primal fear is based on and follow up on that plot. ajay devgan did a good job but wasn't convincing enough for me. i knew everything that happened in the first half before it took place and was utterly bored in the second. this just made me realize that i need 2 stick to Hollywood for thrillers and comedy is better off(not the cheesy kind) in bollywood.
