Cutting Chai with Bhawana Somaaya - Day 292



Highway is sublime 
21.02.14
Imtiaaz Ali likhi/produced/ directed Highway Veera Tripathi ki kahani hain jiska apni shaadi ke kuch din pehle apharan ho jaata hain!
Apharan karne waale 20 saal ki Veera ke haath paun aur muh baandhkar, usse  kabhi van/ kabhi truck se pathrili, barfeeli sadkon par, ek shehar se doosre shehar raat-din bhagaate hain.
Iss kathin aur lambe safar mein Veera ke mann aur zindagi mein bohat badlav aate hain.
Bharat ke 6 prant -Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh aur Kashmir mein filmayi gayi Highway aap ko srishti ke itne kareeb laati hain jaise…
Suraj ki kirnein aap ko jagati hain…  Paani ke jharne aapko nehlaate hain… aur chand talle, pedon ki lambi shakhayein aapko jhula jhulati hain…
Film ka har frame sundarta ki missal hain. Himachal ki hariyali aur Kashmir ki barfeeli vaadiyaan, cinematographer Anil Mehta ki jitni taarif ki jaye utni kum hain.
Film ki kahani, likhawat, saare kirdaar, unke aapsi rishte, jasbaat aur jasbaton ko izhaar karne ka andaaz aur AR Rahman ka  phoolon se bhi komal sangit ka shrrey director ko jaata hain.
Director ne kaha hain ki ye film unhone bagair screenplay ke shoot ki hain –shayad isiliye film ka har lamha aur dialogue itna spontaneous aur sacha hain!
Film ki soch, film ka sandesh aur sabse aage, Alia Bhatt ka unself conscious performance outstanding hain.
Rockstar ke baad Imtiaaz Ali kissi bhi superstar ke saath 200 crore ki film bana sakte thee – unhone ek ubharti kalakar ko chuna.
Wo koi bhi foreign locations mein shoot kar sakte thhe - unhone Bharat desh ko chuna.
Kaha jaata hi ki kissi ki sahi pehchan ne ke liye unke saath safar karna zaroori hain aur Highway Imtiaaz Ali ki pehchaan hain.
Highway ko iss sundar safar ke liye Big Entertainment Ratings milte hain  4 stars.

 Darr @the mall intriguing
 
MSMMP/Contiloe Films produced aur Pawan Kirpalani likhi directed Darr @the Mall ek naye mall ke udhghatann ki kahani hain.
Construction ke dauran site par aise haadse ho jaate hain jiski wahah se log mall ko bhoot prêt se jod dete hain.
Mall ke board of directors ye galat faimiyaan door karne ke liye ek launch party organize karte hain aur  ye party sab ke liye kayamat ki raat ban jaati hain!
Aadhi raat baad jab saare guests  chale jaate hain – tab board of directors aur unke pariwar locked mall ke andar bhayanak haadse ka shikar bante hain.
Sabse pehle ye kehna zaroori hain ki Darr@ the mall stereotype horror film nahi hain…
Na ismein hawa se parde hilte hain, na  raat ko ped ke neeche se kuch milta hain aur na hi aatma ghungru pehankar, mombati haath liye ultte paunn chalti hain.
Darr @ the mall  shhrapit pariwar ke bare mein nahi hain aur na hi bichde pyaar ki kahani.
Film ke first half mein bhoot nahi – bhoot ka darr hain – isliye first half uneventful hote hue darawna hain!
Film ke second mein bhoot ka ehsaas aur ke flashes hain – isliye second half darr se zyada aap ki curiosity badhata hain.
Director Pawan Kirpalani ki Ragini Mms ne  nayi disha ki shuruat ki thi.
Iss baar Kirpalani bhoot ko cinematic avatar dete hain aur sound ko  nayi paribhasha.
Shankar Mahadevan ka sangit aur Ganesh Hegde ki choreography mein piroyi, Abhimanyu Singh  ki Darr @ the mall imaginative aur anokhi horror film hain.
Darr @the mall heart patients’ ke liye nahi hain adventurous audience ke liye hain.
Darr @the mall ko Big Entertainment Ratings milte hain 3 stars.
