A delightful movie that has rightfully received a few Oscar nominations, this one is a MUST SEE for those who like good cinema.
Set in the 1920s, when the silent movies were reigning supreme.....technological changes were happening and talking films were breaking in...the narcissistic super star of the silent era, so full of himself, fails to read the import of the new technology and its career-threatening implications and soon finds himself out of place and work in the new medium of talkies which springs up its own new stars . The hero's struggle to face the falling popularity, receding fortunes , the strong support of a girl whom he had given a break in the silent movies, the amazing dog who always shadows the hero : all in all, a good cocktail of engrossing story and competent acting. The movie is shot in black and white and is silent through but for the last 30 seconds.... some people may see shades of the Gurudutt classic KAGAZ KE PHOOL in this.... do go and see it and remember, not all my reviews are NEGATIVE
