I may have over-hyped it a bit (always a danger where Dharmendra is concerned), but I really hope you like it.Daddy's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14679564351145843434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36123519.post-14018830984419808562007-08-03T21:39:00.000+01:002007-08-03T21:39:00.000+01:00after reading the first two paragraphs I want to s...after reading the first two paragraphs I want to shut down the computer, leave this stupid cube, take my car, and drive home with the metro DVD and watch this movie. excellent job with the review and I am going to watch this movie very very soon...and oh how I wish it rains this evening, it will sure set the mood for metro :)Life Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04045990947387808443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36123519.post-57846019335820048192007-06-29T14:37:00.000+01:002007-06-29T14:37:00.000+01:00@uzo: I cannot wait... and the time draweth nigh! ...@uzo: I cannot wait... and the time draweth nigh! LOL<BR/><BR/>@alan: Thanks so very much for the award!<BR/><BR/>@maja: I know, even though I was unimpressed by Akaash and didn't want her to go that route, I was very disappointed by the fact that Shikha did not take time to deal with her unhappiness - there was no indication that the terible Ranjit made any commitment to the marriage, felt any real remorse, or changed his ultra-selfish behaviour; and no indication that Shikha had learned to stand up for herself and develop her own interests - it all just seemed really regressive, like she was getting back into a tired old cycle without learning anything new about herself and what she deserved out of life and marriage. Definitely the most disappointing part of the film.<BR/><BR/>The Namesake is a beautiful film - I absolutely loved it even if it did make me cry and put me in an emotional, nostalgic, bittersweet mood. I haven't read the book, but I don't think that detracted from my enjoyment of it. But I also don't think you'll be disappointed if you choose to read the book first - others (like Carla and Beth) who read the book first still loved the movie. I did notice the poster... the makers of Metro seem to have a thing for movie posters!Daddy's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14679564351145843434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36123519.post-33726109024105530332007-06-21T22:54:00.000+01:002007-06-21T22:54:00.000+01:00I love how similar our reviews are about some poin...I love how similar our reviews are about some points of the movie :) And I hated Shikha's decision at the end, I couldn't believe it, that husband of hers was SO unpleasant ...<BR/>I'm not quite Shruti's age yet, but I see myself totally going in her direction, so I could really relate to her. And Irfan Khan was fantastic, I really have to see The Namesake asap. I just bought the book about a month ago and now I'm not sure if I should read that first or wait till after the movie. Btw, did you see that when Rahul got promoted and he invited Neha and her "boyfriend" to the cinema to celebrate, he waited for them in front of a poster for The Namesake? :)Majahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612706096369112723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36123519.post-69499421809055001302007-06-20T00:53:00.000+01:002007-06-20T00:53:00.000+01:00I have to get caught up on movies.
