M(ain) NI K(ehta) tha .. bekar film hogi

I saw MNIK or My Name is Khan. For the first time in several years I was optimistic about a Karan Johar film.

Firstly, because he was moving away from the usual candy floss slash family melodrama formula, and secondly, and probably for the first time ever since he started directing, he had NOT written the screenplay.

All, until I saw the film. My first feelings were like I saw a documentary, of sorts. Or rather a confused travelogue on America ...

there was just no central message in the film ...or rather, they failed to convey it exactly

But I have to admit, I liked Shah Rukh Khan more than any of his earlier movies [except KHKN]. We are gradually seeing the 'actor' in SRK and not the rahul-raj-repeat! characters.

The film will be accepted solely on the acting brilliance of SRK ...and practically, nothing else.

First things first ..

Heya!

I hv been thinking to start this thing for quite a while now, but alas.. it took some time for a wish to become a W i LL.

This blog is about films... their technique in making, it analyses, the WHYS?, the place for how-could-it-be-bettered sort of ideas ....

I believe their is no school which can teach someone storytelling. Everyone has his/her own POV of seeing things and it affects them in their own unique way ...

I love cinema... and I love talking about it! :)
