The Rising.....Mangal Pandey

How was the movie?well,to sum it up i was pretty disappointed,i expected a whole lot from this movie which took 2 odd years to complete!
The disappointing parts are the unnecessary songs in between the seriousness of the theme.the flow is lost there somehow.Then amisha patel does damage to her role,i dont comprehend who ever regarded her as an actress!the woman couldnot wail well,smile well and not even do the pettiest part of her role any justice!Gosh,what a waste.having a narration with old pictures of about 3 odd minutes after the last scene of the movie,plus the focus on romance spoilt the look of the movie.
Though the movie has flaws,the brighter side is Aamir's excellent skills in acting, yet again proven.Toby Stephens is amazing as the William Gordon.Rani did justice to her role but Kirron Kher excelled though she had less than5 scenes in the movie!The frienship between the sepoy and the officer has been done very well and also the daily torture every man and woman had to go through.
Costumes have been done very well,from the army clothing,to english evening wear,the simple village clothing and the call girls,all done keeping up with the tradition!Music is good,maybe very good,but cannot be appreciated since the songs just dont fit in between the movie!
Never the less,the movie,helps us realise the importance we must give our freedomand create respect in our minds for one of the real heroes of the nation!

Jai Hind!!!

hi tuloo.. back after a loong time! So you liked Mangal? It's yet to come out here. Saw Paheli and liked it.. it's really cute! and the songs are nice too. Plus, all the colors in the movie made it all bright and cheerful! Suneil Shetty had like two lines in the movie! *giggle*

Babies - they are a bundle of joy, get away with anything n everything, full of surprises, curiosity at its peak, quick learners, change your life immensly and i guess actually teach you at the end of the day!
