There are movies that are bad… movies that are good… movies that are great… But once in a while a movie comes about that cannot simply be measured by a scale of words, Dasavataram is one such movie! Everything from the script to the brilliant(I will spare the superlatives) acting to the special effects to the background score was awesome.

The biggest critics of the movie have asked ‘The Same could have been achieved with 10 different actors, why ten roles?’ People have described it as really high quality and costly narcissism.

Wakened one night by a curious dream
and a voice that seemed to be speaking to me
like a far-off subterranean dream
I rose and asked: What do you want of me?

When I first saw the promos of “Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na” with the short version of ‘Kabhi Kabhi Aditi’, I thought here is one movie that is trying the “Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi” formula. For people who have never heard of PMKK, it was this young adult movie that came out about half a decade ago, launching a bunch of young actors and filling the radio waves with some amazing music(’Woh Pehli Baar’ and ‘Musu Musu’ are still my favorites). Guess what I was right… The question (after a week or so of the release) though is why did PMKK flop while Jaane Tu was a big hit?

My next contact point to Jaane Tu came with the music… I simply loved the soundtrack! AR Rehman was again brilliant but what really was amazing was the lyrics. So I decided to do some background work and find out about the lyricist… It turns out Abbas Tyrewala was also the director and writer of the movie!!! Now I really wanted to watch the movie! I had told a friend a while back that if the movie and the lyrics were written by the same person and the lyrics was good, almost always the story and writing would be good too.

Now to the actual review…

Songs I listened to recently that are on my current playlist:

Khudha Jaane - K.K & Shilpa Rao - Bachna Ae Haseeno

Bakhuda Tumhi Ho - Atif Aslam & Alka Yagnik - Kismat Konnection
- This one has the feel of ‘Tum Se Hi’ plus the magic of Atif Aslam’s voice

Her: What is the one thing you want most in the world?
Me: What?
Her: Lets say a genie pops up in front of you and is ready to grant you a wish what would you wish for?
Me: What is all this about?
Her: Ok, forget the genie… Lets just say that can wish for one thing right now, what would you wish for?

I have been off the net for the past 4 days. The involuntary hiatus was thanks to the phone company(BSNL) doing some upgrading work(the net is actually 50% faster!).

Oddly a lot of things happened to me in the past week that changed me profoundly… I know those are pretty big words but they are not exaggerated. Anyway there is a decent backlog of posts I have to make, some were written almost a week back and not published online. My last post for example was written on 18th… So, this might be a busy place for a bit
