Tamasha - a personal review

Tamasha - a personal review

The movie is based on a middle class person's dream which he/she seeks to escape into an virtual reality.

I would like to split the movie in 2 parts- Before Interval and After Interval. But before that let us discuss the pros and cons of the movie.

Pros

# The best thing about the movie is its Music which was composed by the maestro A R Rahman and Cinematography- S. Ravi Varman and team deserves standing ovation for their work.

# The movie upto the interval is fast paced, poised and balanced with occasional flips and flops but the story stays good till the very end of the first phase of the movie.

# Acting of Deepika as Tara and Ranbir as Ved are good but not great.

# Editing by Tamasha team was good and deserves thumbs up.

# Piyush Mishra's role as the story teller was as solid as it could have got. Some of the dialogues told by him in the first half of the movie seemed remarkable and blended with soothing music felt mesmerising.

Cons

# Direction: Not at par with Imtiaz Ali's previous directorial whether Rockstar or JWM. It was at par to his movie like Socha Na Tha but I expected better.

# The movie becomes a monotonous gloom after the interval. Maybe because of the trailer but it was obvious that the movie would end with a positive note. There was no twist or turn like his movies namely Highway, Rockstar or JWM. Even Socha Na Tha was better in terms of that.

# Dhanush's performance in Moonu or 3 was the best acting I ever saw whenever I think of split personality. Ranbir wasn't even near that.

# unlike Imitiaz Ali's other movie there was nothing new, fresh or surprising about the movie except Corsica.

Now let me give you a glimpse on the storyline. It's no doubt a love story.

In the first half of the movie, the movie seemed immensely interesting. The entire Tamasha crew deserves applause for certain scenes in Corsica like the one in which Ranbir plays football with some local kids and Deepika jut sits on the paved floor and acts so naturally. That entire shot was an epic one.

The first half was full of music and flowed smoothly and the music, acting and the entire stuff looked admissibly beautiful.

Piyush Mishra started to weave a story with beautiful overlaps and the boyhood of Ved started to breathe within that tale. But life is beyond childhood. Ved grows up into a handsome and meets Tara in the dreamland called Corsica. They live like Don and Mona in the cascade of Corcisa's scintillating world of life, freedom and joy. With a promise never to meet they depart from eachother's company.

Tara aka Mona can't forget Don. Time ages Tara and then...well, then the inevitable happens Ranbir tries to deliver, do delivers till the interval but thats it. He falls apart taking the story alongwith him. Only except certain sparks of great acting Ranbir floats on the linearity of good acting and slowly sinks throughout the part beyond the interval in a sea of monotone. Good movie but Tamasha team had elements to do a way better movie.

Ratings:

Before Interval- + Acting- Ranbir- 7/10 , Deepika- 9/10

+ Music- 9.5/10

+ Cinematography- 9.5/10

+ Direction- 8.5/10

+ Editing- 9.5/10

After Interval- +Acting- Ranbir- 5.5/10, Deepika- 7/10

+Music- 8.5/10

+Cinematography-9/10

+Direction-5.5/10

+Editing- 7/10

Its a good movie. It's an one time watch talking about discussing mostly about how moderate class people sacrifices their dreams. They just live and die staying average their entire life. An honest movie with an illusive conclusion. 

My Say: Life is real, not a fable. Better work and live, rather than running after illusions and perish while trying. Thank You.

I Just Wish I Won't Regret... the decisions i make, the path I take I just wish i never regret the life i live, the songs i sing I just wish I would never forget some days i dream of a summer long some nights i sweat the warmth gone a day will come when my world ends that day I wish to come soon and end i just hope from the ashes borne i will re-emerge like the flickering dawn and shine amidst the darkness forged I would learn to fly once again the decisions i make, the path I take I just wish i never regret

Melancholist by ANINDYA GANGULY From the broken crevices of a silent dawn  When one seeks into the creaks of a lonesome heart, There lives a vagabond striding the lanes where he is soon to tread. The magma of a colonialist’s notion remains putrid from the past; The fate yearned from his dormant dreams. Surviving is a sordid fallacy of a creator’s charm, Of a man’s hopes trapped in a seine of dampened loin. Time bequeaths a master seeking to the honor of being served. His imperialistic ideologies stumble across his coercing thoughts  Drawn upon to experiment over the valor’s wit and courage. The foe of a felony is too a crime of the convict yet to subsist Quite a charming is his thoughts in the lane of a pious mind The complexity of a simple plan never works, ever say Where is the dormant desire stored of a lover living through? The dungeons of a Satan’s doom waits upon Gabriel’s arrival. As forever time leaps upon the trenchancy of a Universe’s life. Nothing to live for, nothing to die with, is the melancholic tragedy of a Soloist’s ephemeral existence.

FALLACIES… BY A SOLOIST AS MEN MOUNT THE STEPS TO THE TOWER OF FALLACY A SACRED GLOOM LURKS IN THE SADDLE POINT OF FAITH AND FELONY BLOOMING CANONICALLY IN THE COHESIVE THOUGHTS OF A BRITTLE BLOOM. THE MENTOR OF THE JOURNEY HAS GONE INTO HIDING LEAVING THE COMRADES TO TREAD THE BROKEN PATH ALONE FORGED BY MALADIES OF ITS SWANKY INHABITANTS. THE VISTA OF HOPE THAT’S LOOMS IN THEIR VICINITY MAY SOON FADE AWAY IF LEFT IGNORED AND UNTOUCHED A DECISION HAS TO BE MADE, MAY BE RIGHT, MAY BE … AS WE DISCOVER THE ZENITH OF TRANSFORMATION AWAITING THE CALL OF AN OPTIMIST’S JUSTICE VERACIOUS FANTASIES ERUPT IN THE SOLOIST’S THOUGHTS ENGULFING HIM IN THE SHADOWS OF AN ENIGMA WHETHER TO STEP AHEAD OR PROBE THE PAST  DOUBT GRIPS HIS VYING SENSES, PULLING HIM IN INTO THE OCEAN WHERE QUERY LINGERS IN THE ARMS OF TRUTH FATE IS DROWNED AS FAITH IS FOUND IN THOSE SECRET SHALLOWS DOOM THOUGH FORESEEN CAN BE FORGOTTEN  AS A NEW DAWN AWAKENS IN THE VIGILS OF A SACRED TOMORROW

Some Quotes

6:43pm

Meddling with thou thoughts, Fed-ling with thou dreams There lies the questions to the periphery of thou answers.... Once in a while my tame-less heart ponders into those gullying domains... Where my aims once strayed when life was some-what younger....

Some moments left to grow, some peaks still to mount Some days yet to live, some nights never to sleep May be life tumbles on its wobbly-bubbly path once in a while... But hope would always breed within the crescent of my will

Sweeney Todd- A personal review (1/5) starring Johnny Depp

One of Depp's most gruesome movies I ever came across. I felt quite sad to watch the film. How does IMDB review gives it 7.5/10, I have no clue. 
Isn't there something called Being Happy? The movie fails to shade light over that fact. Its one of the most depressing movies I ever came across. I think it would be the only Depp's movie, I would recommend you not to watch, for the time being. The movie lacks the greatest gift bestowed to mankind..Life.
Blood, deaths and murders filled with a hollow depressive aura that's where the movie floats.It was a pain to see throats cut off like jokes. I think before having a shave by a barber next time, I would have to think twice!!!
Tim Burton failed to impress me with his creativity. I don't know why Depp got accolades for Sweeney Todd because I have seen him perform way better in many of his other movies.
It would certainly make my list of Movies Never To Watch Again!!!!!

t's kind of a funny story- A personal review (3/5)

A non-grossy romantic drama movie after a long time with flinches of comedy to by-pass. Mr. Hangover coupled with Ms. Nancy Drew in their own avatars would keep you in tune to the screen (in which you are watching). The movie deserves more star than I gave, may be because the story was so connected to a teenager as well to struggling adults who fail to cope with their stress I felt, it somehow would connect to most, though not to many. 
It's a movie to get chillaxed with...

Pages of a burnt diary 2

Needed a guitar, beer and something more
Fire was blazing through my pulses 
As I calmly laid ricocheting to and fro
on an age old arm chair of my daddy's days
I found myself gasping for more.

Few words were scribbled on my chest
some remained to be inscribed
Those stares still burned me
Somehow, somewhere, sometimes.
A word was never told, a phrase left midway
Intensity of my breathes was subtle
as was my etching heartbeats.

Drowning the smoke into the diaphragm's cage
I gazed upon the sea of blood flowing next to me
Was I living in virtual reality or the other way round
I might never know, but life was still pumping
Sloppily, Squeamishly in its own tread of fate
End was near, so was hope for a fresh initiation.
Near, yet so far, That's all I had to say
Thats all J had to say...
