Guzaarish (2010)

Sorry, this movie sucks

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

*Spoilers ahead* What I loved about the movieMy biggest fear was that I was going to be faced with some heavy duty TV soap opera with people yelling and screeching at the top of their voice in the court, tears from every character, long speeches, annoying soppy dialogues. Instead I was surprised at how subtle the movie was, it has to be SLB's most subtle work. No annoying background music, the dialogues are to the point, witty dialogues from Ethan when you would least expect it and Sofia's tit for tat responses.Aditya Roy Kapoor as Omar: He enters the house as this dorky kid whose only aim is to become the greatest magician in the world and he decides to go to the man who was known to be the best in the business. It's not easy for him because Sofia doubts him from the word go and does not make it easy for him. His interaction with Aishwarya is hilarious- she makes sure he goes through hell and he's determined that he wont let her come in the way of learning magic from Ethan. Aishwarya: Amazing? That is an understatement. After Jodhaa this is my MOST favourite character played by Aishwarya. She does not speak too much but her eyes speak volumes- there is so much pain in her eyes because of her failed married, she loves Ethan but cant express it, She does not want him to die but has no right to speak because she is "just a caretaker". She cares for him like no one else, devoting 12 years of her life- leaving her husband, her house everything for him and she fights for him till the end. Aishwarya is there from the first scene of the movie to the last so yes Ash fans need not worry about anything. She gives a brilliant performance once again and one that can fetch her awards (sahil, your q)For Hrithik I need to run through the dictionary to find words! I don't believe he has any sort of competition from any actor of his generation- the man keeps setting the bar higher and higher with each movie he does. I cannot imagine ANYONE but Hrithik playing Ethan. The kind of detailing he brings into his character, I am yet to see another actor do it. His expressions melt my heart, I wanted to cry when he was crying, just run and hug him when he was in pain but helpless because he couldn't move and no one could hear him. His fear and helplessness when sofia is being physically abused in front of his eyes and he wants to go and help her but cant left me distraught :cryloud: Sigh! His portrayal of Ethan is going to win a million hearts. What I loved the most about Ethan was his positivity- except 2-3 scenes where he is extremely frustrated you can always see him smile through his problems. He falls off the bed but instead of crying about how he cant move he makes a joke of it telling ash that even though his head was on the floor he couldn't see her sexy legs, when the water is falling off the roof in the night and he's frustrated but no one can hear him and come to help him he decides to just play a game with the water takes it easy.

Tale. Basic tale. About life and its minor moments, about magic in very large definition, about hope in a strange formula. Gentle pledge for small parts of puzzle named human been. Dramatic, sentimental, amusing, melancholic, sad, different, Indian and image of measure. As a veil in spring wind. A kind of joy source for wonderful images and precise art of dialog. A parable and page of a Sufi very old book. Collection of stories - mother and first magic representation, young Omar and Sofia - delicate shadow - and description of illness without passion or pink nuances. A movie who may be experience, moral lesson or charming meeting. As a flower, fly of a bird or warm rain. The major virtue - art to not be pathetic. Or fake. Or copy. It is not an original idea but the manner to show each slice of hero decision is full of empathy. And it is great. Because only review is silence.

A movie by Sanjay leela bhansali, a blessing in disguise who believes in projecting love in a very subtle and beautiful way. Perfect star cast,music, costumes. It is a wonderful movie. With a blend of all : Beautiful caption, An excellent acting by Hritik,must say he is a perfectionist and a blessing to Bollywood. Aish's elegant dress up. Amazingly decor-ed sets With a very realistic and encouraging storyline to live life to the fullest till the very end. Though it was just a movie but it had a very touching morale behind it !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Horrible. Pitiful. The dialogue,Sofia calling Ethan Mr. Mascarenas for 12 years. His mother staying away because he "didn't want her to see him that way." If my son said that-a son who hadn't left -or wasn't to leave the house,for the next decade+, I would simply move in anyway. What exactly would he do to stop me? And why was Ethan ready to die? Towards the middle,it's explained that he needs dialysis frequently and breathing assistance. However,dialysis is done in a hospital,even in the U.S. This doesn't mesh with Ethan never leaving the house. As for that,if he got out more often, perhaps his depression wouldn't have driven him to request death as a choice. The plot suddenly submits,through his lawyer,that he has no money. I submit,if he had sold his huge,useless house, bought a modern,well- equipped 3 bedroom flat with a view,kept his radio show,married Sophia,he could have lived with a great degree of happiness for several more years . He had a support system,family, people who loved him and needed him and things to look forward to. Even in this country,simply being a paraplegic does not warrant euthanasia. People who choose to end their lives generally have no support, financial reserves, friendship, human contact,and despair due to severe and unending pain. I think this fairy tale makes a mockery of those souls who suffer all of the above and still manage to hang on. As for the scene with Ethan lying in his bed being tortured by the leak in the roof-twaddle. He had a voice and at least 5 people in the house. The lawyer had mentioned the day before that the roof leaked. How convenient. The American song choice was maudlin and needed editing. We didn't need to hear the whole thing to get the message. I could go on,Hrithik at times looked demented when he pulled his face in a smile. His eyes were wild looking. The clothes he and Siddiqui wore to court looked like the circus had come to town. It was hilarious but I'm sure that was not the intent. This is frequently a problem in Bollywood movies when the characters wear western-or attempt to wear western clothes. Even Indian clothes look too over-the-top. SRK is one of the few actors who -usually-looks dressed appropriately. I'm not fond of the habit of Indian film makers stealing works from elsewhere and passing them off as their own. I hated Black. I have watched the original so many times that Patty Duke's performance is etched in my brain. However,I prefer Ek Ajnabee to Man on Fire. I think it had a nice Indian twist. But that is a rare thing indeed.
