After a gap of movies..
I felt like writing about a movie called PAHELI.
While watching this one particular thought lingers on my mind..
that feeling which I was out of our mechanical life..
you know what ?
It feels you are again enjoying (visually) a Twinkle comics story
getting unfold on that Big screen.. with such beautiful visuals..
cinematography..such superior special effects (on par with any Hollywood
movie although Guys who did this were from Hollywood :-) credit goes to
AMOL PALEKAR and his Producer Shahrukh for making this directors dream
come rocking on the screen (now I can understand why Amol Palekar got
wet eyed while talking to the press).
Some people in Germany said to Shahrukh .. that
we have forgotten how to cry in Hollywood movies may be we will
need special effects even to make our actors cry or to romance on screen:)
and Indian Cinema is the only Cinema who can make us feel so good..
PAHELI proves German peoples point once..
If you can believe...
1) A man can comeback from the dead to save his wife - in Ghost movie
2) Their can be a matrix and people can defy gravity in it..
3) That a 10 year old can fight 3 Villians with his kiddish ideas Home Alone
4) That a mercury man exists in Terminator..
Why cant a BHOOT fall in Love ?? As long as its well Told and its
entertaining ??
Now Back to PAHELI :) this movie I would say defies any ScreenPlay
written.. by the Chopras and the Johars :) which makes this movie
soooo simple experience to watch.
I am happy that
Amol Palekar chose a right girl Rani Mukherji
to play that character of a rural women.
I must say I am fed up of seeing todays Girls trying hopelessly playing
Behenji type characters..
watch Star Plus you will get Lots of such girls who immediately after
Pack-UP throw there sarees and bindis and go straight to Discos :)
Amol Palekar did not even remotely try to bring Matrix style special
effects in this asthetically directed venture. He knows that cinema is
to be made from Heart and its not a rocket science :)
Amol Palekar went to a great producer for this movie :) its really very
easy to mess up such a simple story ..
if the producer doesnt have conviction..
Even Rajshri Productions couldnt bring a simple Parrot
on screen through Graphics in Main Prem ki Deewani blah blah..
Just Look at the Romantic seqeunces man .. that Rose Petals scene..
those magics with just a snap of sharukhs fingers..
the ghost and his many avtaars, from a crow to a squirrel to a beautiful
singing bird to a villager just LOVELY
Just look at the details how Rani looks at the bird with just one eye
and her full face is in saree pallu captured by Amol Palekars and
Ravi Chandrans camera..
I love that song Dheere chalna by Sonu Nigam ofcourse ..
I loved that scene between Rajpal Yadav and Shahrukh ..
All the scenes between SRK and RANI .. she is in top form..after Black
..
Anupam Kher and Dilip Prabhavalkar .. are great as usual..
And theirs one cameo played by my all time favourite Bachchan..just for
Palekars and SRKs freindship..
I enjoyed this PAHELI experience to the fullest and I am sure you will
too with family..so go .. get up and watch it in theaters..
dont let Amol Palekars dream go in drain ...
