Is it worth it?

Forgoing love for something else is what a girl might do but a guy would never is the only sensible point I found in the entire 3 odd hours of watching Fanaa.This much hyped about movie has nothing more to claim than gorgeous looking Kajol and a glimpse of dashing Aamir(at the intermission point) and a couple of good songs which eventually will fade away from your memory.
The surprising thing of all was that Kunal Kohli's direction has changed so much for the bad in the time spanning from the releaseof Hum Tum to that of Fanaa.The direction and the screenplay at times will make you feel that a novice has directed the movie.Take for instance the situation where injured Aamir in the post-intermission part lands up nowhere but at Kajol's Aangan.Isn't it such a cliche'?!
There is nothing to be happy about the movie but for the feel you might get when you realise that the movie has finally come to an end.
There are minor points about the movie which irriatte you at times ,for instance Kajol playing Antakshari and dancing with a stranger who has taken shade in her home,she falling in love with a person whom she has met a couple of days ago and last but not the least the cloying shaayari Aamir gives you all the time.A friend of mine watching the movie with me ended up feeling that we were watching an episode of Rangoli.
On the whole the movie leaves you with a feeling o fpaying teh expensive price of $10 to watch three good songs in the midst of 3 hours of harangue.And believe me as I have written this article not under the immediate influence of the movie but have waited a week to confirm my feelings about the same.

Musical bliss

Its surprising how music can make one feel an emotion.For example you hear this particular song , say "yunhi chala chal raahi" or "Dil chahta hai", you tend to feel that everything is so exciting and as if its all for you to go explore this exciting world with friends or a beloved or a dear person or all by yourself for that matter.and then when you hear a romantic song on a drive with your beloved beside you then won't you just feel like hugging him?Or in case he isn't there at that particular moment,won't you miss him badly?and consider a song like "aawarapan banjaarapan",wont't it make you feel lost?Its amazing that you get influenced by a particular song and a single song has the capability to change your mood.Also take a case when physical labour is involved,provide people involved with a good enthusing background music and observe how excitingly and seedily they work when compared to a normal scenario.

Keeping in view this vicarious feelings we get just by listening to the particular piece of music,just imagine how sensuous and sensitive a person who has created such valuable pieces would be!!!Hence the respect and devout fro the artiste' heart which it deserves.


As for me , I am writing this piece listening to "Saanwariya saanwariya", which refreshes me and has made me to write this post.Have been hearing this since saturday last , and isn't it reall my latest crush !!!
