one thing i likd about it was that way satyaveer character was shaped up, and abhay simply played it so well…….
his expressions were marvellous throughout the movie…..
i likd raima in this one but i think gul panag wasted…….

@ Ram, there is a HUGE section of the audience who thoroughly enjoys this dance and song on pure white and lush green topography. Only when the size of this section of the audience starts reducing are we going to see more films like Manorama out in the open. And the beauty is, it’s happening. Slowly but surely…

@Ram Yes, let us hope so! But our heroes do all these things, because they need to make money, and ultimately it is an industry.
If you are a director with good films and are talented, but you do not make a “hit” film then you have no chance in maistream bollywood, that is the state of affairs.

Well, at last we could say a country which boasts making more than 1000 movies, is movie that could reflect a story as in itself, unlike the remaining ones which are the same old run of the mill types.

Though personally i don’t classify this belonging to a parallel movie genre, yes these are the ones that make sense without any unnecessary twists, characters and nautanki (la item numbers) etc.

Hats off to Mr. Singh for making this a cut above the remaining ones of time because most of the so called commercial movies depict a character around a story but not a character in a story. Well these are the movies which reflect the true life’s incidences and some hero dancing around in Alps or some expensive suite that doesn’t make any sense. (i’m sure in real life our stars don’t like to do meaningless dances and embarrass themselves in public, so why show them in movies and waste the screen time).

Well i give this 4 out of 5 stars ad hope newer generation of directors deliver more of them.

@lash, it is his first movie, but he has worked on the Chinatown script and made it his own. The script of Chinatown is probably the best script ever in Hollywood, by Robert Towne, if I remember correctly.
It is de rigeur to analyse it all the script writing classes.

@Tej, sorry for the late reply. Yes, let us hope more such films get made, though personally I am not too optimistic for various reasons!

rightly said. the difference, as you spotted is a morally corrupted hero ( an absolute no-no for bollywood) and a vague ending that indicate at the idea of fate, destiny, consequences of karma. nice mention of the desert and it’s relevance. Is this navdeep Singh’s first movie?
