हजारों ख्वाहिशें ऐसी के हर ख्वाहिश पे दम निकले Yeah, of course. eh. I have become fan of Mr. Sudhir Mishra (the director of the movie "Hazaron Khwaishyen Aisi...") since the day I watched his "Ish Raat Ki Subhah Nahi" -- A movie about a guy, torn between his lover and his wife, who unknowingly slaps a head of the ganster and welcomes one miserable, never-ending night of mayhem in the heart of Bombay. I've never really followed his other movies like "Chameli" ( I still can't stand Kareena Kapoor) and "Calcutta Mail". I was excited about "Hazaron... " since the movie was political, set in the "Emergency Period" -- one of the darkest chapters in the Indian history which I was somewhat familiar with, vaguely, and also the lead protagonist K.K. who I really admired in his first movie called "Bhopal Express". After bunch of requests to the movie-store, I finally got the copy of the movie and it's funny but the job of the direcctor was the only thing I was excited about the movie (I didn't know about the storyline except it was set on the India of 70's) and was the only thing I hated in the movie. The screenplay of the movie was so intact and tailor made that even the third assistant of the director could have done better job. The movie falls flat when it comes to the background music, the transitions of the scenes (Sometimes there are scenes which looks pretty irrelevant), the silence that could have been really affective, the costumes. I somewhat felt like the director was too much influenced by the French Art movies. ha. The screenplay developes in such a way that there are times when the body language of protagonist moves the story, each glance, each expression on the face of actors that counts and the director simply fails to capture it despite an amazing job by three main characters in the movie. The performances are amazing, they are the reason the movie is worth watching beside its awesome story. The movie is a triangular love story between two guys and a girl. K.K., a son of wealthy and an important personality in the society, smokes pot, supports communism and dreams about changing the face of corrupted India while lying on the lap of his girlfriend. The other guy, I don't know his name, is a son of a freedom fighter and he doesn't really give a damn about politics, but still has his own political connections and contacts that he uses to fulfill his dream to become rich. The girl (She looks like Smita Patil) eh... she lives in a family where noone asks where when she spent her night. Thes protagonists are very selfish. They use others or just get used by others. It's just a matter of time where they show their selfishness in the movie... and selfishness is just one part of the many sides of the story. The shocking ending, one of the ways you can interpret, is about ultimate selfishness... Well, it's just an another side of the story... And I feel like what the fkkkkkkkkkk I am doing, I am writing a whole page in sajha, what the hell is wrong with me? damn, aight, thats it, yeah watch this movie, hmmm... Bunty and Babli sux, damn, Amitabh saved the day... 40 years virgin was funny, esp. that condom scene. eh... Where am I? Helppppp, there is this thoti who won't let me type anymore... grrrrrrrrr.... ha.. :O
