I was flabbergasted when the movies were nominated as India's entries.<BR/><BR/>Regarding TZP, the movie was something. I dont think it is a movie that can be dismissed. Maybe, you have a point when you say it was too feeble and focussed on emotions, both of which do not last in the mind or soul for long. Because, it is our miseries that we want to run away from the most.<BR/><BR/>Hence, TZP fails to fight out that feebleness. But the movie had a message that if understood with the purest of hearts and a back-to-basics-about-Life thinking, would do wonders. :-)<BR/><BR/>It was NOT just another movie....Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03373808472983278972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168350441676141778.post-16974843535241137132009-01-19T17:02:00.000+05:302009-01-19T17:02:00.000+05:30Vimmuuu: So u agree too.. :)That's the point Boi.....<B>Vimmuuu:</B> So u agree too.. :)<BR/><BR/>That's the point Boi...

But I do not call it predictable based on that. I say it predictable in pieces here n there. I could easily guess by looking at Salim's expression that he would surely somehow rescue Jamal from getting blinded; Latika turning up at VT was quite predictable and flawed as She being a gangsta's keep/wife would be always followed upon. They could have done away with the whole scene. And so on. Also, it has its own minor flaws which I am ready to ignore considering amazing screenplay, editing, cinematography and ultimately direction.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543217536330822671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168350441676141778.post-14723886655301886682009-01-15T18:06:00.000+05:302009-01-15T18:06:00.000+05:30Angel: Do watch it Babes..

Ho...<B>Rakesh:</B> That's absolutely fine if you disagree. However, let me repeat that that's not the basis. There are many movies like TZP which have been made in different parts of world over the years. <BR/><BR/>For many of us it was may be a first kind of experience but I feel it was a bit forced. The film definitely works but in bits n pieces. It gets too preachy at times.. Ishaan's role and his portrayal was awesome but then that's it. I am not talking of music (which was good too), the whole film as a package wasn't something incredible and spectacular. The movie works for us as we have not seen such movie and I too liked it but I am talking from world's perspective as such movie was nothing new for them.. If you see the entries of few countries they bring out something new n spectacular in their story. Aamir handled the movie quite well, Treatment was good but the script was mediocre. There I feel 'Dharma' was quite a good one to go the year Eklavya was chosen. <BR/><BR/>For SM, I still haven't written the review... and If I happen to write before the movie releases in Dubai then pls do read whenever u watch and share what u think of SMVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543217536330822671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168350441676141778.post-86235230255537305782009-01-14T18:37:00.000+05:302009-01-14T18:37:00.000+05:30Oxy, I've to disagree.

I mean, of all the Oscar entries we've sent in the past (including Lagaan), I feel TZP and RDB have been our best.<BR/><BR/>You say "Whole India cried in their seat but that's not a basis to choose an entry." Then what is? If a movie, (which after all is a story being told) makes you relate so closely to the characters and what's happening on screen, then what other criteria do you need?<BR/><BR/>And with regards to SM, I've heard so much about it but can't do much coz. have to wait till the time it releases here in Dubai. <BR/><BR/>Till that time, won't read your review though (Tend to do that unless I've seen a movie)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
