BOMBAY TALKIES -THE SCRIPTWRITER’S PARADISE
The 4 short stories directed by 4
directors are different, at times difficult to digest or difficult to
understand. They take you on 4 different journeys, whether you want to go or
not is up to you, but these stories and the characters are moving and will
reach their destination which may or may not be the cinema goer’s direction.
KARAN JOHAR- He has rocked the
boat, the man is a champion for a cause dear to his heart, but all said and
done it is his finest work till date, he shows a range which people don’t think
that he is capable of. The scene where a little beggar girl is singing LAG JAA
GALE at the local train station boasts of cinematic brilliance. Rani looks out
of this world. Gale me mangalsutra aur aankhon mein kamasutra is one of the
outstanding dialogues.
DIBAKAR BANERJEE- This is more of
Nawazuddin Siddiqui showing his brilliance at acting. The scene where Sadashiv
Amrapurkar makes a cameo after such a long time is a delight to watch. Overall this
is your typical art-house powerhouse cinema.
ZOYA AKHTAR- Take a bow the
script writer, where a young boy whose father wants him to be a footballer, has
different aspirations, he wants to be a dancer and not any dancer, he wants to
be SHEILA - Katrina Kaif from Sheila ki jawani.
ANURAAG KASHYAP- Bachchan and the
Bollywood stars are human but life is the superstar which behaves strangely is
the motto here. Passable, a lot was expected from him but this is ordinary fare
from Anuraag.
All in all this is a movie for an
actual cinema lover and not someone who is looking for an alternative to IPL or
Television serials this weekend or an outing with family.
