Banter Battery

I don't usually indulge in speaking my comments about a movie unless asked, because each movie can have a different feel for different individuals.. But now, I make an exception.

I was down with severe cough n' cold and my husband took a day off to get me some med advice and to cheer me up ( Coughs n' cold have an eerie way of putting me permanently in the lowest dumps of moodiness). My usual doc took an emergency leave from the hospital just that day and true to my character I refused to meet any other doctor.. So he then took me for a movie.

I would not spoil the fun of the movie by speaking about the story or how it progresses, but I would strongly recommend it to everyone who appreciates fine cinema. If I ever said Hrithik can't act, I take it all back. The direction, the story line, the story progression,the dialogues, the climax, the songs, the dance, the cast, screenplay everything is impeccable. Though it deals with a serious topic, it also effortlessly manages to bring humor throughout. It aspires and succeeds in touching the hearts of the audience without any melodrama. The characters in the movie hardly shed a few tears throughout the movie, but the movie touches the audience in a way that most of the crowd that flowed out consisted of women with kajal/kohl smudged eyes and red eyed men.

I usually prefer to watch such movies in the privacy of my home where I can let my emotions loose without having to bother about others. Yet, I would have missed it if I hadn't watched it on the big screen.

Its one movie worth making an advance booking for, standing in queues and carrying some tissues along, yet come out happy of the time and money spent on it. Highly recommended.

I am still struggling with the blues of cough n' cold. But that day the movie did work wonders on me. The yapping, growling me somehow turned into the loving wife I am. If not anything else, the movie told me how precious life is...
