And with this classification by the censors, do we assume that the other adult movies which are un-strictly rated as A can be dealt with more leniently. Anyway, about the movie, it's an ultimate test of your patience. In fact, the first 10 minutes made me wonder whether it was a silent movie until a word was finally uttered at the eleventh minute.
And our ex-Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vaypayee has some tough competition here, because the dialogue delivery by the characters are much slower than his speeches.
Assuming it to be an experimental cinema with an unusual theme and without any songs or the regular masala items, expectations were high, but I was sorely disappointed. A boy, who lives only with his granny in some posh apartments, has his telescope constantly focused on the windows of the opposite flat secretly watching the personal activities of a woman. Appearing older than 36 and heavier than 63, dunno what did the boy find so sexy about the women?
Add to it her lousy dressing sense and a boyfriend who looks like her son and comes to her home regularly for some sex sex bang bang escapades. And all this while the woman never bothers to shut the windows of her apartment. You can shut your eyes though. Not out of shame or disgust but boredom. A plot that could have been interesting if explored properly, this one is neither entertaining nor titillating.
This movie is so awful doesn't make sense at all such slow scenes to it through although the sexual ones were enjoyable but i just hate this movie it's just bad what world does Shashilal Nair live in first he makes a movie like one 2 ka 4 and now this bull it's just bad mostly the scenes drone on and on on what Manisha Koirala does and well that's just what the movie is about senseless scenes less dialogues just a plain bad movie about a director Nair to get the fun out of Manisha Koirala's body and movements just a plain bad movie on a director who's hard to understand Shashilal Nair please get a life and pay attention to what you do in your movies because clearly you just make a movie and give people the idea that just pass their 2 hours by on watching bull in the cinema.
This is a good example for film school students on how a movie could still fail in spite of having pretensions to the contrary. The plot doesn't make any concessions to its setting and does not make any attempts to connect it to its Indian setting.
Character development needs much to be desired and it drags on. Overall, the movie gives as much pleasure as a coitus interruptus. It doesn't quite start right, picks up a little steam in the middle and fizzles because the director doesn't know how to end it. Nair tries to capture the obsession and disappointment of the boy from the original film but loses it by trying to dilute it to placate the Indian viewer. Unfortunately, this film is likely to disappoint its intended target, the educated urban Indian and Indian Diaspora and will never appeal to the average Indian movie-goer who cannot relate to the treatment.
Maneesha Koirala overacts and doesn't seem to get the nuances that her character should have. Aditya Seal is satisfactory. The rest of the cast appear like props without much to do. If you have to see this movie, please stick to the original.
A perfect example of how bollywood can destroy even the most well made movies. This underlying plot and story had great potential and it was really curious to see how the director would handle such a complicated situation and what kind of psychology would be involved or if the boy really gets the girl? Unfortunately nothing is done and none of the emotional pain or complications are ever explored. The boys is portrayed as nothing more than a voyeur who spies on the woman.
His intents seem more sexual than anything else. The woman doesn't handle the kid in a rather expected complicated fashion but eventually ends up taking him in, overacting all the way.
Yeah right. The media made a lot of noise about this movie's censorship but it doesn't have any real explicit sexual content. In the end, it seems that someone got a good idea but did'nt know how to proceed. A gentle, small film with fine performances PaulR-3 16 September This film is at the center of controversy, which seems to benefit everyone, including the filmmakers, whose film is a genuine hit. The controversy is courtesy of a couple of glimpses of a bottom that the lead actress Manisha Koirala claims to not be hers but that of a body double.
Sure, Manisha comes off a bit curvaceous in the picture, but the extra weight only adds to the drama of her character. The main storyline appears lifted straight out of Kieslowski's "A short film about love," which was one of the films in his "Decalogue. The boy falls in love with this single woman, who leads a rather unfulfilled life. The boy's naive, platonic feelings clash against the weary, wrinkled persona of Manisha's character. The film does consider the love of the flesh, but in tasteful, meaningful sequences that make the audience feel an emotion deeper than the rage of the chauvinist, sex-starved provocateurs that have brought violence to this film's screenings.
Perhaps, they are rioting at the film's measured pace and lack of musical numbers, but what else could they expect from a film inspired by Kieslowki? Just think what they will do when Bollywood starts lifting films from Godard and Tarkovsky? That's the real danger to world peace. This movie is an assault to the senses and an insult to intelligence. Crappy Bollywood thieves churn out senseless copies of foreign classics, sans all their dignity, artistic value and finesse. As if murdering Hollywood movies wasn't enough, they are now gleefully mutilating avant garde European filmmakers like Kieslowski and Antonioni.
The less said about the actors the better. What else can you expect from mindless copycats? Bollywood stinks!
They don't even have the decency to acknowledge the originals. With the amount of money at their disposal, Bollywood guys could have made better movies. At least they are financially much better off than their Iranian, Romanian and Turkish counterparts. But it is the the utter lack of imagination and creativity that afflicts the filmmakers in this part of the world.
The exceptions to this Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen and a few other such people have always been relegated to the periphery of the popular cinema circles of India.
Truly unfortunate. Dude, this movie totally sucked. You should've seen the trailer which made it seem so philosophical and so touching and so heart breaking. You'd run to the nearest place this movie was screening after that to see what happened? Nothing of what you expect is found in this movie. Its completely tuned towards lust and sex rather than what the tagline says, for both the boy and the girl.
You'd think that the writer at least came up with a good idea but could'nt pull it off, so deserves a little bit of credit. This movie's director and writer has completely ripped off another western movie's plot and idea, as well as the story.
This was Shashilal K. Nair's debut movie , before he drifted to make movies on the assembly line of a factory much like most of Bollywood Cinema. This film was completely lifted off its Polish counterpart , as suggested by the highly imaginative name of the movie , but alas the plot and Kieslowski's subtle portrayal of the ubiquitous yet inexplicable phenomenon of "Love" , is lost in a tiresome translation to the likeness of an Indian movie poster maker's rendition of Van Gough's Irises , close but not really worth your time!
There is a saying. But apparently in India if you spill milk while crying you have to sit in it. Seem weird? Watch it for yourself. Other than that I think this movie did a fantastic job of capturing the essence of 'A Short Film About Love' a film by polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski. I think this was the first Bollywood movie I have seen without a song and dance routine.
