Hope and a little sugar - Notepad

This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.

Warning: this section has some details that could distort your experience while watching the movie. I strongly recommend reading this only after you have seen the movie or if you have decided not to see it.

Plot Summary

Ali - a bike messenger for money, an aspiring photographer at heart finds himself falling in love with a married woman Saloni (Mahima Choudhary). This obviously is a problem...

What Worked

• Ranjit Chaudhary's (he plays Uncle Ghosh) voice! Have been a fan since his Khoobsurat days.
• The top camera angle used in the scene where Colonel Oberoi (Anupam Kher) breaks down. Really made him look small and helpless.
• Mahima Chaudhary's photographs! Beautiful!!
• Background music when Colonel Oberoi is driving towards Ali's house.

What did not

• The emphasis of the climax of the story was that the characters overcome their problems with a little hope. I just hope that Ali wasn't actually for Harry to die!
• When Ali discloses he is not Sukbhir, he is taken to Saloni's shop blind-folded, as punishment. Is having Saloni's sweets punishment?! And why blind-folded?
• What happened at the bar where Colonel Oberoi (Anupam Kher) was having a drink? Why was Ali thrown out?
• How come both Sr. and Jr. Mrs. Oberois are wearing make-up during the most tragic phase of their lives!?
• What was the magic potion all about?

Nitty-Gritty

• The white dust on a table at Saloni's shop. Looked very artificial.
