I enjoy reading your reviews, but being an Arab, who understands a little Hindi, or let me put it in a better way, trying to (learn to) understand Hindi, it would be extremely helpful if you could translate into English the quotes you use here and there..
Totally disappointed is the word. The CGI is too evident and almost as amateurish as in its early days. The small nuggets were-the lota filling up with water being the time measure and the reasonable effort to find zebu to match the famous seal.
I honestly think people like Gowarikar cannot make good movies without the overbearing involvement of the star in question. In this case- Aamir Khan, the only hero to have gotten something out of Gowarikar.
In 13th warrior, they showed him looking at their lips for some time to understand the lip movement and sounds and then he finally speaks. Different context because they showed him learning the language.
What bogged down the film was an overtly preachy tone, repetitive scenes and dialogues about us vs them debates and a unnecessarily bloated runtime or to put it in a nutshell, AG has the Christopher Nolan problem
Just look at the time he takes to bring srk from US to his native village and the amount of exposure he has to get through to make us feel what the character is feeling on his return. or those endless debates about cast, class differences, apathy that ensures between Mohan and the villagers. after a point it gets tiresome.
What you are saying is only partially true. Actors need to have commercially successful films. but i would say that a bad hit film is more damaging for an actor than a good flop film. A good film irrespective of its bad commercial result never hurts an actor. may be it might give a temporary setback but the goodwill that the film creates always stays with the public. Swades might have been a commercial failure, but that definitely wasnt end of his reign. after some misteps (like paheli , don,..) he soon came roaring back to form with the double whammy of chak de india and Om shanti om. so there was no way he was hurt
I dont blame Hrithik for choosing MD. he must have genuinely felt that this would have been a leg up in his career working on that subject and with a director with whom he had good prior experience with. neither do i think AG wanted to make such a terrible film by choice. he was just too ambitious for his own good.
Just to chime in on the SRK good performances. Does anyone on here like Kabhi haan kabhi na? Somehow, Swades and Chak De always come up when talking about his good ones. I have always loved him in KHKN though. For every re-watch I feel downright miserable when Anna marries the other guy but a little bit happier when Juhi arrives on the scene. But all this is coming from a big shahrukh fan, having watched all the English babu, desi mem, ram jaane fiascos in theatres.
When I first watched it in theatres, I was doubtful whether the movie was great (Plus, bad audio quality at EKM Kavitha slightly marred the experience for me.) Watching it a second time in a multiplex, I found it a lot better. I could catch a lot more Dalit references, which are neither on-your-face, nor hidden deep like in say, Kabali.
Sanjana , does it? isnt mohenjo daro rather strange name for a hindi film. we have had english or urdu names as titles- Mother India , Mughal -e -azam, Pakeezah- that sound grand. this doent do that for me. of course its better than harappa.
Its economical in storytelling and much of it unfolds visually. a film thats so high on violent emotions and events and there is no melodrama, no sentimentality, no judgement. it was fascinating to watch
And Dulqar was perfectly cast. he is well suited for the introverted implosive angry young man. may be in the older portions he became a little self conscious and stiff. otherwise he was good.but anyway the heavy lifting in the acting dept is done by Vinayakan and manikandan- both of them turn in such sterling performances. I am glad to see that actors like them getting to hog the centerstage in a film Rajeev Ravi should be congragulated for that
Ajax, yeah i mentioned his lack of releases as a point in an earlier comment. dunno whether its his health problems that is bogging him down or has he become lazy and complacent after he achieved a certain amount of stardom.
i have a feeling that Both HR and RR has been trying to develop HR as a brand , rather than as a star\actor . which explains the obsession with films like Krishh and Kites.And yes when you have films releasing on a duration of 18 months or 2 years and budgets anywhere between 100 and 150 crores riding on them, then commercial success at any cost becomes the mantra.Quality and diversity be damned bcoz one flop is going to severely set back your career.
As for his future choice of films, he has his work cut out.it seems that the good filmmakers have already started turning their backs on him. Ranveer, Ranbir or Varun seems to be the first choice of the major filmmakers these days.He will have to take the initiative and may be go for a salary cut and make some medium budgeted films like Akshay has been doing.
Honestly, the next list of films you have written, all of them were commercial failures and pop culture failures except Chennai Express- and thats completely kudos to Deepika, her turn as Meenamma was a scream! No one remembers Ra1 (unless as a joke about wasteful expenditures), Don2 or JTHJ, honestly and they were failures commercially, SRK has himself admitted that about Ra1 and there is a reason why Don 3 is not being made and why JTHJ is not considered worthy of Yash Chopra by his most hard core fans.
Take the instance where they drive Dalits out of their land. While another filmmaker would have piled up resistance right then with thesis points, Rajeev Ravi stages it as a mini-knockout sequence, getting us to support them at least at a visceral level. We later see protest from his grandfather (grandfather grudge from NSL), and we realise our mistake along with them.
Another nice touch I noticed was it is never shown to rain in the very rainy city of Ernakulam, and we find scorching heat in a lot of scenes, a different, perhaps even gimmicky way to highlight the indifference shown to Dalits.
Rohit, agree about the Fact there is no rain depicted in the film. its another metaphor. i mean even water is very scarcely shown in the film. the only time we see the characters drenched is in the the jail fight scene where dulqar and friend is suffocated in a bowl of water by the inmates.
Of course hits and misses are a par for course, sure. Everyone has had that. What I mean is Salman had a HAHK in 1994 and again a Dabanng in 2010. Has or can SRK do something like that across decades? That is star power and in him it has waned terribly. And I pinpoint Swades as the reason, others might have other reasons.
P:
I do agree with you, as you say that Shahrukh has failed to reinvent the star in him. In each film he has done recently with a bankable director (perhaps all his directors), they were either super-lazy, or out of their element.
Brangan: Your mentioning Bala as an auteur made me think in turn about his mentor Balu Mahendra! Maybe comparing the 2 now must be downright silly, but is there more to them other than the fact that both are cinematographer-cum-directors. and both started out with some immensely personal films?
Salman has never been a romantic hero. In Bollywood, the archetypal romantic hero does not just love the girl, he either loves himself as well (Rajesh Khanna) or hates himself (Dilip Kumar) or both (Shah Rukh Khan)
Thats bound to be looked at from an objective POV As Madan pointed out, PDHH (vs KNPH) was really the first of his big failures. we had the media unequivocally appointing HR as the new superstar and SRK being bust.of course the fact that HR could not continue with the dream success of the film was beside the point. SRK has had intermittent successes and failures all throughout his career before and after swades, even though the recent dip in his popularity and success seems to be a real concern. the last universal blockbuster SRK had was KKHH. the year he had KKHH, dil se and duplicate where flops. the year of DDLj, he had more than 4 flops or so. so i dont know when was this pre swades SRK golden period when he kept on raining blockbusters.
Agreed! But did Phir Bhi and Kaho Na release on the same weekend? No. And SRK fans (like me) were used to some movies not being such big hits, even if they were great fun, he had multiple movies every year and some were bound to not do so well. I never worried about Hrithik. In fact every SRK fan that I know became a furiously loyal Duggu fan as well!
its an artistic call made by the director(s) to go subtle on those aspects, to emphasize on the humanity of the characters rather than the caste factor . emphasizing caste could be sometimes counter productive, people just tend to get off on the caste factor ignoring totally the merits of a film, which very few directors want , especially in our country the caste being a hot button topic.
Also i wonder whether Rustom would have done so well if it wasnt released opposite MJD. Rustom itself was such a terrible film. i think the audience found Rustom good in relation to MJD and flocked to that. perhaps this was one of the cases were releasing your film against another film actually benefited the film.
Mank: Thanks for the detailed reply. Going by what you said, the film seems to have been skillfully made, keeping in mind whatever needs to be done to get the film through, without controversies and yet, retaining the impact of the tale being told.
Udhayashankar, i am happy too that Dulqar chose to do the film. It was very generous and courageous of him to do it, where the spotlight was more on other characters . it also gives the film a higher visibility in the market place
Your mentioning Bala as an auteur made me think in turn about his mentor Balu Mahendra! Maybe comparing Rajeev Ravi with Balu Mahendra now must be downright silly, but is there more to them other than the fact that both are cinematographer-cum-directors. and both started out with some immensely personal films?
