Hi MSians,
This is the first time I am writing on this website. However I like to read the diaries and reviews that are written by the members. And it was one such review which made me join the race of writing. The review in question was that of the movie Kurbaan.
Someone was compelled to see this movie because of his wife’s taunts (and I am actually grateful to his wife for taunting him). He has actually written a very fabulous review of the movie. So much so that it will actually influence a lot of people for choosing not to see the movie. The movie may not have been up to his expectations but then all movies are not meant to only entertain you. Frankly asking u all don’t u feel like dropping a few bombs on the terrorist camps for what they did to us a year back- 26/11. I definitely do feel like shooting them all. And thats what Ahsaan (Saif) tries to tell us.
If personally I had to rate this movie out of 5 I would give it a 3 or even half a marks extra for Kiron Kher's superb acting. Even though the movie deals with a very common topic of terrorism or lets say a topic dealt with many a times in many a movie. But everytime the director has told u a different story besides trying to entertain you with hot saif and kareena on screen chemistry scenes. Thora History par bhi attention do. At times we shud also look at the other side of the story- the positive side. Dont u think so ? However my intentions in writing this diary is not to prove that he is wrong about his review, I don’t say so. But I only want to say on behalf of the other half of the population that we too are right in wanting to see these big banner big budget Hindi movies.
As for his desire to watch 2012 but could not do because of his wife, y doesn’t he for a change ask his wife how many times she has wanted to see something but since he preferred to watch an English movie, she agreed. She must have never complained nor wrote that his taunts compelled her to see a stupid movie which she never understood.
Talking out of experience, now I have been married for almost three and a half years. My supposedly better half loves to watch the so called classic English movies too. Actually these movies can be in any language English, German, Spanish, Japanese, French and even Thai. I now wonder which other language it will be next(as I have not seen movies in all the languages yet). At times the condition is such that I simply cant understand what the director or lets say the script writers tries to tell, but my hubby would be throughly enjoying the movie. So I too keep watching it. I go ga-gas trying to keep up with the subtitles and the scene but sorry to say that before I manage to do so the scene and the dialogues both change. But then I still don’t mind. Sometimes I simply laugh at a scene because he is laughing his heads off AND I keep staring at his face and wondering "itna kya hasne wala scene hai bhai". But then again its ok for I feel that the way I enjoy watching mystery movies he too enjoys his choice of movies.And top it all after the movie is over he will sweetly ask me "kaisa laga?", and I with an equally sweet smile will say "good, not bad", whereas I feel like saying it was "bheja fry, dobara maat puchana". But I never say so for I feel chalo at least we are sitting together for the two hours and that is more important. Frankly I am person who herself is very fond of watching movies, and I watch a lot of them. It was like a movie used to be released and all we friends would go and see it very next Saturday. I had never missed a movie (anyways I am talking about the Hindi movies). But ever since that fated day on which I got married I have to keep reminding my husband that I love watching movies of my kind. But its only at times that it sinks into his head.
If he has his way he will not even miss the adds given in the starting of the movie. Ask him what adds they would show in the bygone days before the movie began and he will tell with dialogues. Thats my HUSBAND. I remember when we had gone to Musoorie for our vacations last year. We had both seen this place earlier, me with my friends during school days and he with his family. We went to see the Kempty Falls and while we were enjoying a boat ride he simply said, "this place is not the same as it was earlierwhen I visited it last. It has changed a lot." Out of curiosity I asked him, "andwhen was it?" And he replied, "yahi kuch 20years pehle." I stared at his face and thought "main 5-6 years pehle aaye thi tab ye aisa nahi tha aurye 20years pehle kibaat kar rahe hai. God these MEN."But I simply said to him "they did not know that you wud be returning after 20years else they wud not have made the mistake of developing the area."
