In the 80's or 90s when the masses wanted their action or drama dose, they would turn to the latest flick which packed everything in for them in 3 hours. So we had marriages, we had love triangles, or action sequences lifted from various hollywood movies. It was justified, we were able to watch 10 films worth of plot at the cost of one.
Just yesterday I glanced (saw) DDLJ on TV.
I had not seen it for a few years and it felt good watching it again. The misadventure ful trip in Europe. Hide love seek love in the fields of Punjab. Final conflict with parents and the show of values.... Good concepts great presentation. Thus it was a great movie.
Over the years many movies have used similar concepts and formula. Few like Jab we met actually did even touch a chord.
But today I watched a movie which was not one or two movie concepts I had seen before but a collage of movies and still it managed to bore me to death.
To make it clear - Awesome - Real meaning. Something which strikes fear into one heart. From the family of Aweful. In awe of (fear of)
So why was movie Mausam Awesome
l. It had visuals (in promos) similar to 1986 - wow movie The Top Gun. But I had to watch torture for 1.5 hrs to get there and 1.45 hrs since.
2. I accidentally went to screen 3 when my seat was in screen 4 after the interval and the start of the movie seemed like the continuation of it after the interval. My God what pace and editing, A masterpiece, entire scenes can be used elsewhere and no one will know! In fact I feel some frames of sole Sonam may have been borrowed from Sawariya.
3. Why did it need history as a background. Was Harry -(The Heros name ) something like forest Gump.
4. How can people who can be entrepreneurs in a different country not have sense to take some one contact details and share theirs.
5. Shahid Kapoor did try to beat Monish Behl's handicapped arm performance from Hum Saath Saath Hai
6. The movie once again justified the fact that great looks and visuals can stun. In this case they also sting as the story goes no where.
7. It is a movie about love. A love a father - a great actor has shown to try and resurrect his son as a Star.
8. The movie did promote tourism - Scotland, Switzerland and even Mallukot were gorgeous.
9. The movie also made me understand that water supply pipes (big ones) are readily available in any part of the globe. They are as per this movie great hangout/hideout places.
All photos are from the net and they dont belong to me.
