Aarakshan - Worth A Watch For Sure..A Noble Subject And There Is Nothing Objectionable Trust Me...

I am seriously confused why would any section of our society would object to this well made movie handling a noble subject which is education is the fundamental right for all coming from any sphere of society.

This movie if watched with the right mindset definitely kindles the India spirit and tells us to bring about a change possible within our best abilities and instead of mere discussion lets get into action whenever there's an opportunity available and what better weekend to watch this kind of awe inspiring about nation development movie than the Independence Day weekend.

Yes the movie does explore the reservation system in India for the Scheduled Castes and Tribes and Other Backward Castes but in a very generic way without really running down either sect.But the main focus does not lie there the film actually takes on the education system ,it exposes discriminatory aspects of the system and hypocrisy in private and governmental educational institutes in the country and does a damn good job at that.

Have to give it to Prakash Jha for always coming up with a winner in terms of socially relevant movies be it Damul dealing about bonded laborMrityudand on gender inequity,Gangajal based on a true incident in Bhagalpur,Apharan on the abduction situation in Bihar,Rajneeti dealing with political affairs and yet again he has got a winner in hands with this one (Aarakshan).

It is a fact we believe in equal rights for all and yet, we continue to be a caste-based society.

Performance wise everyone(Amitabh Bacchan,Saif Ali Khan,Tanvi Azmi,Prateik Babbar,Yashpal Sharma,Deepika Padukone,Manoj Bajpai)has managed to give stellar performances but AB Baby rocks and totally stands out seriously his performance deserves a standing ovation and yes he is the best example of age is just a number..Man he seems to be getting better by day I am sure his best is yet to come.Eyes got moist in many a scenes with him.

This one is about grit,determination,love,friendship and most importantly about standing for what you believe and not giving up on it come what may.

Dialogues are brilliant in this movie totally shakes you up and inspires you.

'Be the change you want to see in this world’ is the core message of this movie and trust me they couldn't have conveyed in any better way.

This one is daring,heroic engaging movie which should not be missed.

Don't miss it...

Love Aaj Kal


Powered by: Chakpak.com Love Aaj Kal

Love Aaj Kal - Refreshing light entertainer, the whole concept of two love stories running parallel to each other in two different era is really awesome and refreshingly new ...

Everyone had humongous expectation from Love Aaj Kal as it was Imtiaz Ali's next directorial venture after his super successful movie Jab We Met which we had enjoyed immensely and the box office collection speaks for it too..And let me tell you with Love Aaj Kal he(Imtiaz Ali) has only taken his storytelling skills further to a far more superior level.

Coming back to Love Aaj Kal it's a love story sure, but it's not one of those mundane love stories that talks of love and heartache. Here, the two stories, set in different eras, run parallel, but have a similar end. The relationships here are complex because the couple in love lives in complete denial. It is to Imtiaz Ali's credit that he has penned an offbeat story, developed a complex but comprehensive screenplay and extracted sensitive performances from the principal cast.

LOVE AAJ KAL makes you fall in love with love all over again. Makes you value your loved ones all the more. This film is special! LOVE AAJ KAL travels multiple continents and different eras. The subject matter is novel, never attempted before..

The other era is shown in sepia which i thought was a novel idea it really takes you back to time and shows us in a nice manner what we are missing out these days in these fast paced lives of ours.

The second hour is the soul of the film. Right from the time Deepika decides to marry, till the last reunion, the film touches an emotional high. The sequence of events that lead to the culmination is incredible. Saif's interaction with Deepika at the marriage, or the gradual change in Saif's behavior in the U.S. in the course of a song, or the realization that marriage was a big mistake... moments like these take LOVE AAJ KAL to new heights.

The music of the movie is quite pleasant.'Twist' [already a rage], 'Aahun Aahun' [foot-taping], 'Chor Bazaari' [melodious] and 'Dooriyaan' [melancholic], each song is a gem. N. Natarajan Subramaniam's cinematography is fantastic.

Both Saif and Deepika come up with their career-best performances in LOVE AAJ KAL. Saif carries the most difficult parts with remarkable ease. Sure, we've seen him as the cool, urban guy in several films, but this one's the most demanding role and only a seasoned actor could have delivered it with such precision.

Deepika looks woooow from the word Go. Most importantly, in LOVE AAJ KAL, she acts very, very well. Matching up to Saif is no mean achievement and she does it in several scenes. This should be the turning point in her career. Rishi Kapoor is top notch. The actress enacting the role of Harleen is pretty. Rahul Khanna does well in a small, but significant role. Watching Neetu Kapoor in the end sequence is a definite pleasant surprise. She's so graceful as always.

A must watch for sure..
