So here's the review....Thanks to the Nachos,Cola and Corn we walked in about 5 minutes late to the movie hall.It had started off with some shaadi song by mamis and then you have Saif,looking older than usual, and his stern face walking away from his ex-lover,who is married but still desires him!So when he is advanced by her there is verbal abuse for the same and leaves her crying on the stairs.The movie sees debut of Vidya Balan(Iyer girl) in the movies.This woman carries a lot of confidence in her acting and she seems truly professional.I have noticed her twice in videos of Euphoria.The story is pretty ok,adapted from Saratchandra Chaterjee's novel,though its quite predictable.What one can enjoy is the classic feel,moving away from the modernism that we live in,this movie takes us back in time to life in havelis,vintage cars,purity in language,some amount of innocence!Sanjay Dutt as usual carries out his role in ease ,playing the character that almost breaks the relation between the 2 lovers.Then also comes in Diya Mirza,as usual with painful 'acting' as Saif's wanna-be.When Saif goes on to believe that the woman he loves/loved is married and imagines her to be living happily,he fails to try and understand the complete picture.We are then shown in the end that she is married to Saif himself and alive for him and none other!We have Rekha in the movie as the Moulin Rouge dance,does a very good job as ever,Raima Sen was passable too.The Calcutta setting seems almost perfect and the music by Shantanu Moitra,pretty good.The best numbers being "Piya bole..." and "Kaisi Paheli zindagani".The costumes were noticably rich in tradition!So that's Vidhu Vinod Chopra's venture+screen play efforts for the year,I believe its got good reviews.It deserves so too,good actors,good setting and very good timepass!
So as to summarize the happenings on these areas so far, The Chinese yuan has been revaluated ,thats up 2.1 pc against the USD .Good for the Yuan but not so good news for the middle east currencies that are pegged against the dollar!We are going to find our weekly grocery bills shoot up in sometime,it should not be a surprise considering a country like UAE where 80 pc of the goods are imported.Much the same would happen to the OMR,SAR ,QRD and BHD. So my nation and favorite market has signed the prestigious N-deal.I wonder how things will be in the future.What reactions would come across for the several tests done and so on.Also very hazy about what the rising foreign reserves are going to serve by year 2010.Ofcourse credibility and all but stocking up about $662 million,is that such a good idea moving forward?! Etisalat have signed the MoU with Sudan's Unity.The farsight of this company has been excellent so far.Spreading investments through out this region since their monopoly is...
