Yeah, pretentious pretty much defines Bhansali. Only hope I retain enough bile for a follow-up post when 'Black' sweeps the National Awards next year.

I saw the movie twice first in DVD and then in a theatre. I found the movie horrible both times. The reason I saw the movie twice was because I thought my first impression must have been wrong because anybody and everybody was praising the movie. Somehow i the movie Bhansali's efforts show and it look ridiculous. barring a few scenes the movie was very pretentious and loud a la bhansali. At last.

Sanjay Leela Bansali can't take much credit for the first half of the film coz it is a direct lift from this 1962 film based on Helen Keller's life. Every scene was picked from this film. The only difference being: No overdose of senti stuff! The teacher is just as rough, and the child is just as wild. No! I didn't weep through the film (as I did with Black!Grin), but you feel the teacher's sense of achievement and pride! Very good one. See it if you haven't already done it. More fun when you compare it to Black!:D Manoj, I finally got to see “Miracle Worker.” Sanjay Leela Bansali can’t take much credit for the first half of the film coz it is a direct lift from this 1962 film based on Helen Keller’s life.

(who would have seen(liked) that?"). but here, exactly as you have said, bhansali and big b expect to be taken seriously and i am sorry i felt cheated after all the other rave reviews. keep speaking the truth, manoj - even if the world likes to go the mainstream way ... finally someone who has the guts (?) to speak the truth. like you have said, there are actors known for overacting and they do it on purpose for the audience’s benefit. the incomparable shivaji was once asked after an extremely hammed up scene why he overacted this way. to that he didn’t speak a word in erply but instead acted out the entire scene again in a aperfectly “normal” fashion and then shot back at the scribe: “adha evan paathuruppaan?

I guess we need a better yardstick than that. By the way, Anniyan songs are out everywhere on the net and they are disappointing seems to be the general consensus. I agreed with that. Listen to it for yourself. I havent seen “Black” but I agree that half-boiled attempts at serious film making are being lauded because of the fact they are different from your usual masala films.
