Movies: KANK


This was one movie I had been wanting to watch for sometime now. I finally did manage to watch it and that too on one of the hindi movie channels with 12+ breaks. That in itself is an achievement and the movie did grab my attention to bear with the ad breaks. As they say content is the king!

KANK - This is what Svety said when she saw the movie almost ages ago.I loved the movie for the few moments it had and the theme - the complexity of relationships, the choice between compromise and love, the lies , the truth , the memories that last forever.Love, they say, isn't easy to come by. And sometimes even if it comes to one; will one do whatever it takes?

In the song Mitwa the lyrics say "Love will find a way"

and the farewell trance of the movie says :

"No distance is too great
for your memory will live on
let me live in the sweetness of your heart
you and I will live
Will live on in our dreams
Never, Never say Good bye"


These words I hold close to my heart.

My favorite moment in the movie - SRK and Rani walking towards each other,chatting for 4 and a half minutes on the mobile as they walk towards each other and are to meet in the next 5 minutes. SRK and Rani at the signal facing each other and Priety coming in between. SRK with a bunch of roses - handing it over to Priety and yet keeping that one flower for Rani. Thats the picture i decided to add to my blog cos thats the scene that will last frm this movie etched in my memory for sometime.

Movies : Paris, je t'aime

If there is some movie that has touched my heart of late, its Paris , I Love You. It is not overtly emotional or underplayed. It is real. It is how people are. It is about a city; more so it is about people and most of all, it is about love. The feeling that does touch each one of us, each day.

Paris, I love you - is a movie collectif or collection of many 5 minute movies on the theme of Pais and love. I am not sure how much character does Paris really add to the movie. For me it could be a Mumbai and Delhi. It's the sensitivity with which each movie is dealt that really takes your breath away, it did take mine.

The movie was highly recommended to me by a friend and I went for it cos another friend agreed to come. It was a late night show on a weekday and we both had to rush to catch it. I don't know if I would have gone for it without the recommendation from my friend or the company of the other one. Thanks guys, you make life worth it.

Must Must Must watch it!
