With a cliched title as this the results were almost as if predictable.
But sometimes I guess I just am a masochist and try and see films which
I know are going to majorly disappoint.
This is one example of a
film which should never have been made. Imagine Indianising the classic
’Rebecca’ , hugely mutilated version and that too by a rather zero talent director Anant
Mahadevan..I am sure he would transform even a Sholay into a disaster
or is that reserved only for RGV?
I hate to be rude and all that
but sometimes one wonders just how delusioned some film makers are. I
mean how could he have imagined that he could carry through a book like
Rebecca with its subtleties?
Look getting into the story will be
boring and in any case I am quite sure you guys are not going to see
it. But here goes. Minisha and dino get married after a brief courtship. Dino was previously wedded and the first wifes presence , ghostly :) haunts Minisha as being constantly compared etc. eerie surroundings ( tried hard but failed) were meant to lend to atmosphere..when Minisha is also found dead .. Now ?? Oh im not a spoil sport or rather imbued with ethics.. therfore that is all..
Anant has directed for television also I think. He should have kept
it at at that. It requires a certain mastery to convey emotions. Just
being a copy cat will never help. And believe you me all one gets to
see is hijacked shot takings and feel. One can guess however if
something is organic or not.. this looks terribly copy paste.
Locations were good..but then locations are meant to add to a scene not be the whole and sole saving grace.
Dino
.. In this film he looked at a loss as if he doesn’t know what the hell
he is doing here. And he seriously needs to brush up on his dialogue
delivery..so carelessly overlooked by the Director. I guess both need
classes..the actor for dialogues and the Director a crash course on movie making,
egolessness and pompous free living. I am told he is a blabbermouth who
thinks the world about himself. Results show!
Minisha lamba is better than expected but overly confident. A slight tone down would have
worked.See I feel performances are much a directors domain as an
actors. If actors deliver the Director deserves as much credit and in
this case discredit.
Good.. healthy ego is essential..But Bloated ego based on zilch talent is not acceptable :)
Overall, let Anamika be a nameless faceless, idea if you know what is good for you.
