New York - More Than A Movie

I went to watch the movie NEW YORK thinking it would be one of those masala entertainers & ofcourse coz Katrina was there in it too. I mean who woulnt want to see her on the huge screen.  The movie didnt end up being one of those brainless entertainers but one of the most thought provoking movies ever. A total moneys worth.         02

Halfway through the movie when you listen to John narrating the torture he had to go through in those "detention camps" makes you cringe. I've read a lot of this in Friedrich Forsyth & John Grisham's books but to actually see it being potrayed on the screen makes it seem much much more brutal.

01

Which brings me to the  controversial thought which we all had when we came out of the theatre. Was terrorism justified if those so called terrorists were subjected to such inhuman torture? Mind you i know this was a movie but the fact remains that stuff like this happens all the time. Everyone knows about the infamous Guantanamo Bay. Is it fair to put innocent people through such agony & then let them go for the "lack of evidence"?

You just cant expect a normal human being to forget it all. You are cruisin down the street in your car & suddenly a policeman stops & asks you for your liscene which you dont have one you. He asks you to pay the fine. Dont you just get so so so wild with him. Dont you abuse him once you are at a safe distance from him? Imagine being tortured & treated worse than an animal for a considerbale lenght of time. Will you smile & accept the fact that they are "sorry"? Wont you harbour so much hate that you'd wanna do the same thing that was dished out to you? Its they who create the terrorists & then fight them! Not all of them but a lot of them. Terrorism has no place here & Im in no ways justifying it BUT every terrorist out there isnt someone who was born a terrorist.                                      03

My only question of interest would be "would you have been happy if the Sameer in the movie had pressed the button & triggered the bomb"? :-)

Delhi - 6

d1


Expectations were very high... of course they would be. After all the last movie by the director was RANG DE BASANTI which went on to become a cult film! That is definitely an incredible feat to follow. But I guess whoever watched Delhi 6 will definitely say that they were left a tad disappointed. It was a fine movie don't get me wrong on that but somewhere down the line you almost feel cheated while watching the movie coz you go to the theatre expecting an entertainment sort of movie. After all the promo song was Masakali which was full of energy & almost makes it look like a fun movie to watch.

I wish the same energy was translated to the entire movie. But it was a rather slow movie except for maybe the last 15 minutes or so. More than an entertainer it was sort of a movie with a moral. Not surprising coming from a director whose previous movie was on similar lines. Rakyesh Mehra's movie's focus on the youth. He believes that the youth of our nation can change the corrupt system of our country. And he goes to great lengths to show that in his movies and this one was no different. I thought Abhisheks performance was amazing. He makes you believe in his character. He brings a certain coolness to his character. The biggest disappointment for me was Sonam Kapoor. Not her performance, it was superb but the length of her role. She was just used to get the audience into the theatres with the promo song. You yearn for more of her in the movie because the screen lights up everytime she appears.

All in all it was an ok sort of movie which you can't watch more than once for sure. If the story line was a bit pacy or some more humor was added along the with the drama then it would've been better. I would give it 3 stars.
