• CHAKDE! INDIA:

  If Shahrukh has really managed to keep his superstar mannerisms locked away I am willing to
  forgive all that happened in the past few years and go back to including him in my list of
  watchable actors! Must admit.. he looks good in the promos .... thank goodness the college boy
  has grown up finally.

  I had great expectations from this movie based on the promos ....
  but after reading your review I think I'll pass .... as is becoming usual.
  By the by this movie does not appear on the list of movies critiqued (alphabetic sort)list. Error?

  Hi..
  
  Just becos most movies
  are not worth reviewing
  Meeta's set herself a challenge
  of innovating the ways of doing
  
  The question that needs asking
  Is, do netizens come to read
  for the packaging or the critiquing
  Or some of both indeed
  
  As usual what I'm saying
  Is nothing too wise my dear
  But how you answer the question
  Make's the blog's future clear!
  
  Now how can i let go
  without saying what i think
  if you don't quickly spread your wings
  you'll be teetering on the rink!
  
  Just because this style
  can't accomodate what i feel
  when we meet up next for coffee
  I'll give it reel by reel!

  regards

  Hi...
  
  I thought the movie was .. well.... the kind that should be made tax free and compulsory watching for all Indians. Having said that, I still feel an element of concern.
  
  The movie closes with the voice over that the Central Government lost the elections while conveniently leaving out that the Government at the state was re-elected .. and that kind of `selective' sharing / rendition of events is present throughout the film .... like you say ..... it is a film after all.. but films that position themselves as `presenting the truth' should, in my opinion, present the facts as completely as possible and leave the interpretation to the viewer. As the film itself portrays .. there is no black and white only shades of grey.
  
  Making the film predominantly from, as you put it,, `the Muslim point of view' is likely to leave a section of the viewers with a sense of disquiet that could, in turn, fan the very flames the movie seeks to show as senseless and inhuman.
  
  As for the `white face' in the movie ... i guess it was a convenient mouth-piece / sutradhar .. i felt that his presence and the forays into Gandhian thought were too superficial.
  
  Well.. once again it is time to pray at the altar of the multiplex trend that makes it possible for people such as us to reach movies such as this ......
