Best movie ever!
... View MoreIt was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
... View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
... View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
... View MoreWell this movie has hardly any songs. So everybody we know for sure that its a very good thing. No SONGS!!!! It mostly feel like majority Hindi movies put in songs just because they have no concrete content. Anyway this movie was simply sublime. There was like a KAWALI that was being sung all the way through, that was beautiful. After watching the movie I straight went to my computer and downloaded the song. Well the movie stars Ajay Devgan and Ash. Its based in one room mostly.First and formemost lets just tell what happened in the beginning. Devgan is in a lot of debt,, and his mom asks him to go to the city and borrow money from his friends so that his sister's marriage can follow through. He goes and stay at a friends place and gathers about Rs,12,000. He just want's to meet Ash once before he heads for his village. Just to go back Ajay and Ash were lovers when they were young. But sadly they could'nt get married because Ash got a offer from a rich family. So Ash came to the city with her husband. So when Ajay come over to her place, she makes up stuff, like telling him that they have a lot of money. Her husband is always on tours. And they are just lying to each other constantly and then the landlord of Ash's character comes in and tells what's going on with her the husband. They have not paid rent in years. Her husband is a conman and they are in debt. In a 2, 3 days he is going to evict the couple out of their home. And Ash comes to know of Ajay's character problem. Its a slow movie. Not everyone will like it. There was no conclusion. It was boring.
... View MoreSomebody is lying to keep up appearances, and the director has left it up to you to try and figure who it is. This is the sort of film that you sit down and cut, paste and analyze for hours. Aishwarya Rai showcases some real grit here that is rarely seen in most of her films, as many directors just prefer for her to show up and look pretty. She is pretty here too, but the scenario is dark, she plays this character dark and seductive, and heartless as she she does it innocent. She is deceptive as she is truthful, it's up to you to decide what she is really and Rai gives you a run for your money trying to figure her out. Ajay Devgan brings it as well, as a man who hasn't gotten over his love for this woman, even after her marriage to another man. One rainy afternoon, he tracks her down for a visit and the game of who is who begins. This is not you typical Bollywood flick. This one actually requires you to scratch you head and think. A++++++++++++ all the way! Aishwarya Rai is especially awe-inspiring!
... View MoreThis movie seemed promising: Ajay Devgan, Aishwarya Ray, unhappy Lovestory....but this movie is plain boring. The camera is stable, the settings are...well, they fit the story, which is not a compliment... there are no songs, not even music most of the time. The actors only talk and nothing really happens. The plot is not to bad, since its inspired by a famous story by O'Henry. And since I wanted to know, how it ends, I even stayed on all through these really, really long 2 hrs. It was so depressing! The only good thing is, that it is so short. If you think now, that I don't know what a good movie is made off, there are movies like this, which i really liked, "Telephone" with Whoopi Goldberg is definitely one of them. But this movie is only watchable for fans of Art-house and maybe fans of French Cinema, because it is a lot like that. So if you are neither, stay away!
... View MoreIt's the story of Mother India. Ashwairya has been shown here as Mother India.He reaches Ash's house rings the bell she opens it no look of surprise or happiness, under eye dark circles, saree worn somehow. Said that she was asleep. Follow the points given below :1. Its dark inside Ajay asks her to put on the light she goes inside and tries to put on generator as there is no light. When ajay asked about the "calling bell" ringing, she says that then it must be some phase gone kaput coz' of rain.2. Ajay asks her about servants she says both the servants go as soon as it is afternoon to play cards since she sleeps in the afternoon, she does not miss them much then adds that how much ever you pamper the servants she also bought them a TV they seldom want to work.3. The drawing room is full of old wooden furniture which ash explains that rich and famous people do not let go of antiques very easily so she has to co-exist with them!Ajay then sees inside the rooms and the scene is heart wrenching! dirty, broken utensils, unused toaster, cockroaches in kitchen drawers lungi hanging, dust smitten & dirty bedroom! Here is where I equated the life of Ash as Mother India's status just This she has everything for the outer world to see (drawing room) but nothing for her own self as her true lovers (ajay kinds) are confused, overconfident (in bengal they are overconfident coz' of lack of spoken English) basically failure and people who have taken her responsibility (ash's husband) is a fraud, cheat, drunkard and liar marketing India falsely..and teaching Indians to lie just about everything living in the world of make belief films, serials and advertisements- which are windows to the nation show absolute nonsense and is miles away from reality & truth! And people who saw it said that it's a remake of "Gift of Magi" ! is that all that they saw !! I must congratulate Director Ritoporno here for once at least although I did not have a very high opinion about him before .his movies are way too slow moving.Gift of Magi why? Because in the raincoat pocket, ash finds out about ajay's need for money and tugs in her "possibly last piece of jewellery" and ajay , in the meanwhile, after hearing the shocking revelations from the land lord and later, checking the scenario himself, pays the rent for 3 months ie. Rs. 12,000/- that he had collected for himself for the business and requests the landlord not to throw her out of the house. 1. Looser Ajay could not get his lady love, could not arrive anywhere in life remained in financial crunch all his life. was it because of loss of love? would ash have made any difference? Well they had been friends for 8 years if he loved her and wanted her, he should have not left any stone unturned to arrive somewhere in life and win his lady love. No parent would ever give his daughter away to an unemployed aimless man. Since Ash is shown here as an uneducated village belle even she could not positively counsel & encourage and stand by him. She was more interested to go and watch an Adult movie with him and was keen on seducing him by changing in front of him with just a net curtain drawn..she even asked him to help him button her shirt (kameez) button ! 2. Looser Ajay's friend in spite of having all the luxuries in life, was leading his life with a wife who never loved him but was living under the same roof with him as a compromise she was acting all the 24 hours ie. 3. Looser Ash's husband a cheat, liar, fraud, showy rolling stone who gathered no moss in life .or gathered volatile moss which vanished like the RAM memory. 4. Looser Men old & young : the pile up of old wooden furniture and the eventual dirt accumulated in Ash's drawing room showed that India still is made to co-exist with age old superstitions & rituals etc. which has no relevance in the present time and is just occupying unnecessary space in Mother India's hard disc should we not shift+delete it dear Indians?As far as Indian women are concerned, they are silently gulping down poison ,still illiterate & romantically inclined, seeking security from men when men have failed them in more than one ways as stated above. Even when she is supposedly educated, still she is compromising (refer AFW's character a decent educated compromising wife with all the modern gadgets available but basically unhappy and feels loveless with a husband working in a cut throat business of selling slots for TV serials)
