This is the first of my attempts. A parellel review.


Aaja Nachle


There is a certain beauty in Madhuri's warmth. Makes her part of the movie very real. 'O re piya', a song of such presence, typically too good for anyone to know what to do with it. I dont know whether Salim-Suleiman are becoming a boon or a disease, any film feels too short of doing justice to thier brilliance ( read : Chak De). Each actor seems to be living his character in his exact own understanding. Madhuri lives it up in her own the larger picture looks like it begins after the recap!


Dialogues... !!! ... where did they come from? New york? Shamli? or the moon? Cliched to death, senseless and seriously Bollywood. But Madhuri... can carry anything off.


Enter Kunal Kapoor, machismo sweating in his short sleeve muscle clinging shirt.


Something about the humour is unique - its sticky and so attractive . Its a little real as far as 'hidden emotions' are concerned. But gets back to being ordinary as it tries to come a full circle every time.

Not that this movie particularly deserves a review. I was just wondering what a film can feel like before knowing the 'whole' story. Im guessing its more only a technique critique rather than plot.

Somewhere between honour and freedom


never seen security so beefed up,
never seen fear counter as much,
never imagined such levels of freedom or lack of it.
