I haven't been a great fan of Sanjay Leela Bhansali and do not relate to his "style" of story telling....he is mostly over the top and at least he made some tolerable musicals while he had an association going with the maverick Ismail Darbar but that has snapped after Devdas....
Guzarish is another insipid tale , insipidly told... what is worse, SLB has arrogated to himself the right to provide the musical score for the film...unfortunately , he is no Vishal Bhardwaj or Kishore Kumar to successfully don multiple hats ( he is barely able to don the directorial one!) and the music is awful.... at this rate of misjudged impression of self importance, we might see him act as the hero in his next one and in the next and what may probably be his last one, as a heroine :-)
Goa in rains has been captured beautifully, if I must say something good about the film..... Hritik keeps grinning silly throughout the film and mouthing one-liner humour statements, most of which fall flat... Ms Rai is probably the only earning member of the Bachchan family these days with a market demand but her role looks poorly etched..... and why do we have to suffer Suhail Seth? Don't we see enough of this nobody on NDTV on virtually every debate?
My GUZARISH to Sanjay L B.....please, please, spare us from such undiluted trash

Umm.. i happen to disagree. Guzaarish, despite its warts, won me over. In pursuing his own death, the film’s hero teaches us a few things about life itself: “live fully, forgive quickly and kiss slowly”.
ReplyDeleteAlso i feel it’s Hrithik Roshan who steals the show with his humdinger of a performance. Solely through his facial expressions, eyes, and voice modulations, Hrithik brings to life the character of a self-mocking, life-embracing, death-seeking character who’s exuberant one moment and depressed the next.
And i agree Shernaz Patel goes overboard in a few scenes and so does Suhel Seth. But these warts are all but compensated for by the awesomely shot magic sequences.
