@Raj good to see you back! Like they say, there are only 7 original stories in the world :D
@TimELiebe ha ha ha ha. The more the merrier! A warm welcome to all.
@TimELiebe Thank you!
@TimELiebe welcome back! and sorry it started this way :D
@Raj thank you for appreciating that effort. I like to talk about how the movie made me feel and why I think it made me feel that way.
@Harpreet glad you went for it. And hope you all enjoyed.
@Raj ouch. Hope you are doing better and wish you a speedy recovery.
@Raj Yeah, I figured. I didn't mind the aesthetic created either.
@Raj :D
@Raj Glad you notices ;)
Good call!
@Raj was an enjoyable couple of hours!
@Raj thank you! Yes indeed! Well said.
@Raj :D glad to be of service!
Thank you @Raj. I hope so too :)
@Raj did not know these details. Thanks for the share. Wonder if Disney will recover because for someone who hasn't see the Rakshasan, this is not half bad.
@Raj yeah, that sounds about right.
oh well!
Raj, maybe. Or maybe the director perceives the audience as you say.
Thank you, Raj. :D
Always :D
He is unassuming for sure :)
Thank you so much :)
Thank you :)
Yep!
Thank you @Raj!
@Raj oh I did not know it was written for Irrfan.
Some bits that might be considered drawbacks though--slow, violent--is what made the film good.
ha ha ha. Glad to be of service :P
@Raj I don't mind the typecast just yet. Also, I think anyone who makes a film is working hard.
@Raj ha ha ha. Yeah, a reader had asked me to review it. Else, I might have skipped it too. Gave me very bad Kabir Singh vibes in the first half.
@Raj I feel it is a mix of it all. Warped and messed up the whole thing is. About the reason for over politicisation, no clue. The line is getting thinner and thinner between fact and fake.
Yeah @Raj, the intent is hardly hidden. If only they really cared for the story they were telling without any agenda.
Agree @Raj. Every time this tendency feels more and more like a waste of a lovely story. :(
ha ha ha
**shudder** at the thought of that though.
Bhuj is even worse.
Thank you.
@Raj Thank you thank you!
@Raj thank you!
@Raj ha ha. I have no idea about their personal lives.
@Raj Thank you. Yes, indeed, we seem to have come a far way from where we were, and yet we have made little progress.
he he he @Raj
Might as well get a laugh out of it :D
Glad you enjoyed the review, @Raj. And thank you so much for your kind words and support.
Done! https://wogma.com/movie/ajeeb-daastaans-default/
Thanks, I hope to be more regular. *Fingers crossed*
@Radha that contention is arguable. It is sort of like saying because DDLJ is about a certain class of people it perpetuates the 'wear fancy clothes and dance around' mindset. These films have hundreds of characters, we focus on the 4-5 main characters. But there are plenty others who are not perpetuating that mindset. I for one, take that with a pinch of salt and say the story is about these 4-5 characters and they are what they are. All of them might happen to be of a particular mindset but that doesn't mean the writers are saying everyone from that country is like that.

@Radha Krishnan It bothered me a lot when he pursued even when she persistently backed off. And I felt horrible that she had to change her life to get out of the situation. The unfairness was just gut-wrenching.
Until, the last scene, it was ambiguous whether or not she reciprocated his feelings. And that last scene settled that. Then I was fine in calling it a romance.
I don't know about the book's target audience being international bibliophiles, haven't read it. But, the movie surely felt like it was reinforcing a stereotype against the financially vulnerable.
Yes, it is certainly less shrill than I expected it to be. Do let us know what you thought of the film. Will be nice to have another perspective :D
@Roy Thank you! Will watch Mangrove! Thanks for the recommendation.
