For the "Pyaar" movies.
I recently was on a roll on discovering what's "different" in the not-so-spoken-of Bollywood movie scene, and found a couple of movies which I liked very much. One, "Pyaar ke Side Effects" (Side effects of love) and "Pyaar ka Punchnama" (Postmortem of love). I know I know, sound a bit weary, but trust me, both movies are worth a watch. The former depicts the complications of a modern adult romantic relationship, and the latter, the wicked ways in how girls take guys for granted (yes! seriously ladies, please take a watch!)
Both movies had very attractive soundtracks and all songs were very catchy. Both had very attractive dialogue and a good screen play. And both groups of actors demonstrated their parts well.
- This is what happenes when you leave your article on draft mode and then completely lose the passion you started writing with. Haha.. nevertheless, here goes. So, Pyaar ke Side Effects definitely had its toll on me, because very similar to the situation the couple was going through, I too had an experience similar to that this very week. However, leaving that aside, let's focus on the review.
I have to say that one of the most prominent things of PKSE was definitely the songs. I must say "Janne kya chahe man bawara" was the most memorable song for me. It actually brought back a lot of memories of my short internship to India 4 years ago,when I first heard the song in a bus if I'm not mistaken. PKP also had a collection of some very funky and catchy songs. "Life sahi hai" was my favorite. It clearly denotes the carefree life of a bachelor, not exactly my cup of tea of a bachelor- LOL - but the song indeed was good.
PKSE had a good story line. I don't know the degree of realism in it, with regard to the climax and specially the conclusion. Oh but I heard from my sister who had been studying in India for four years that many Indians are indeed hopelessly romantic and they do indulge in spontaneous decisions no matter how unethical and filmy it may seem. I guess a hundred years of Bollywood has changed the facade of Indians? :) I love Indianness so it's all cool with me. How the relationship between the protagonists of PKSE developped was nice to see and it also shows the slight cultural difference between people of different states, and portrays the generation gap as well.
PKP's plot was immediately put into my "oh dear that's so true"/ realistic indeed category. The actors although previously unheard of for me, did a great job portraying their respective roles. Special mention should go to Divyendu Sharma and Rayo Bhakirta in my opinion. Contrary to popular feedback, I thought Nushrat Bharucha's acting was a bit too over-done. Nevertheless each actor portrayed their characters sufficiently well. PKP actually educated me in how much girls take boys for granted; even during friendship. Each relationship had something to learn about; namely, commitment, security, comfort, intellect and compromise.
By the way just as a sside note, what is "commitment" in a man's eyes for real? I don't think any movie can depict that adequately.Just saying. However I don't want to be sexist and I admit that girls could do equal damage to their counterparts in commitment issues.
Moving from one Pyaar movie to the other, I reckon no matter how old the world gets , the very source of its existence, love, will never be able to be fully understood.
Its height, width, depth and strength will always be "out there" for every human being.
