If i have to describe the movie then i may say...a love story set
on the university campus, the kind we see only in cliché-ridden
Bollywood.But I wouldn't be just in that case..as i know there is
more to it...there is a hint of freshness...there is certainly
depiction of some novelty in the movie...when one comes out of
theater one have overall good feelings about the movie...
when I analyzed and compared with some other movies I was
able to make the difference...I could see a thinking writer and director...
I realized that from the conception of Airport ending,song 'pappu cant
dance' and 'Dead Dad';brilliantly played by Naseeruddin shah
(notice his dialogue delivery:impeccable,the way he gives
pauses at the right moment).
Generally ,the moment I can predict what is going to
happen next my interest is lost except when the picturization is
good (this is the thing with me...I dont know about you)...as was
the case in 'Notting hill'...great picturization of a simple plot...
In the movie again there is airport ending but from the
starting they themselves have made fun of it and presented in a way
that have made it not just palatable but delectable...picturization and
lyrics of songs was also applaudable..specifically 'pappu cant dance sala'...
'papppu' is a common name in indian society...and they used it effectively
the song goes into your head quickly....
Sadly my uncle also shares the name(and he really dance well)...n whenever
I sing the song he always asks me what's the problem that you see in my dance..
Rehman has shown his sheen with the music...'kahin to' song is
my favorite to listen song..of course 'pappu cant dance sala' is
favorite to watch...although you may feel music not of the highest
Rehman standard like in 'Yuva' but was good enough and he has made
his presence felt...background music has got the better out of the movie.
Performance of all the actors is good...although there
were some scenes in which i could see 'Genelia' (aditi) cracking up...
but she like so many Bollywood actresses has got her beautiful face
and lovely smile to cover it up...'Imran Khan' was more than good for his
first movie...he has got more than just looks that matches with Amir...
'Prateek babbar' (aditi's brother amit) has impressed with his performance
...here again dialogue delivery was special..he has live upto his father's
(Raj babbar) standard for the first movie...
In the end all credit to abbas tyrewala for his good work in directional
debut film..those of you who dont know he has written script earlier also; of
movies like 'Munnabhai MBBS' and 'Maqbool'...despite his previous
successes his this script was rejected four times...before aamir consented
to produce movie..Kudos to aamir also for taking onus of launching his nephew
...and completing work so successfully.
