Fresh as a dew drop. Review on Socha Na Tha

I regret watching ''Socha na tha'' on the cable. Damn the critics man. They can ruin a film with their individual and partial judgements. ''Socha Na Tha'' is a product made with a clean soul and fresh thinking. Witness creativity and performances at its best in this age of skin shows.

The story is very simple with a fantabulous treatment. Boy goes to girls place accompanied with his family for a marriage proposal. He is in love with someone else and the boy and girl mutually decide that he will refuse for the proposal. But something hits the heart of both and in the process of their conversation they end up being very close friends untill they realize that the line between friendship and love is diminishing.

Boy played by Abhay Deol and the girl is Ayesha Takia. Both are innocent and sweet and display their acting skills with extreme finesse. Although the story may not sound very original, it is the screenplay that makes the diference. The script is very well-etched and crispy, which keeps you in constant communion with the characters and the situations. Abhay Deol is the next genuine actor with no inspirations or motivations from other great actors. He is 100% honest and original with his own individual style and elegance. Ayesha Takia is toooo sweet and toooo beautiful. She has her usual composed and balanced performance that she has displayed earlier as well.

The music by Sandesh Shandilya is beyond comparision and sounds very inspired by the genre of Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly (Classic hollywood musicals). The typical indian audience may not identify with it but it ia definitely a welcome treat for music lovers. Other actors like Suresh Oberoi, Ayesha Jhulka, Raj Zutshi and a couple of others whose names I cant recall are very well suited to their roles and perform brilliantly.

''Socha Na Tha '' is one of those positive and light-hearted movies that keep the spirit and the life-inspiring purpose of movies alive. Go and retain the romance within you and relive those days of happy cinema, where heart ruled the head and smiles dominated logic.
