When a rare commodity is available but there is no-one who can actually assess its valuability then it is really depressing. Mehbooba is a diamond, acually a kohinoor, so expensive that there are no buyers and also very few people know to appreciate its value. Love story 2050 was an overview of the future and this movie is a sneak peak to the past. One has always to remember as to what he/she was. The movie takes us back to the roots. It reminds us that however higher we fly to rest you must always come to the ground. The movie is a humble approach to remind us that in the midst of the "size zero" revolution there is someone with "size hundred" (read manisha) with a soul. Even the camera trick couldn't hide the flabby contours that reflect experience in all senses. When I saw sanjay, manisha and ajay in the screen in that particular order it looked like a hamburger in between a knife and a fork. Both eager to cut it but not eat it, the person who is scorging on this hamburger with the help of this knife and fork is someone else.
What I liked about the movie:
Almost everything. The sets, the music, reminded me of my birth time when the nurse playing similar tunes in her medium wave radio. The performances, so highlighted that the person watching them watches with sun-shades. The screen presence, so eclectic, that the audience demands for screen absence after some time.
What I didn't like about the movie:
The way it was presented should have been better. There should have been ubiquitous publicity of this masterpiece which would have made this more accessible to everybody. The film should have been at least 4 hours long.
Would you recommend this movie to your friend: Yes
