Last night I saw this movie on one of the cable channels.
Although I missed the first 20 minutes and I had not even seen the promos of it so I did not know which movie it was.
And I bet if you are not allowed to see the start of movie you also would not be able to configure the name.
Normally I do not watch movies if I miss the start but there was something about the look in which the picture is shot that made we wait for a few minutes and try to configure which film it was(which I could not configure even after the film finished).
After a few scenes I saw Rajat Kapoor and at that moment only I knew I will watch this movie , even thouh I had a presentation to make today for a job.
For me that's the credibility that an actor should posses,
they should be able to attract the people to cinema theators to watch their work/performance.
As soon as the movie progressed I saw a totally different Rajat Kapoor from his previous films.
The way he used his silence combined with his expressions and the looks in eyes was really
wonderful.
In most of the scenes he remains silent still speaking a lot.
I don't know if any other actor today from bollywood would be able to do that.
Now something about the movie.
It's a very simple story , very neatly woven script around 2-3 characters.
At this moment I would like to mention something about the young filmmakers today is that
they really are coming up with some brilliant and differnet ideas, they don't have the backup of the star producers of bollywood but the content of their film is so good that they definately earn a name for themselvs, and that should be the biggest reward a filmmaker should be looking for, appreciation for his film by the mass but that does not happen always because people even fail to notice when such "small films" release(which happeend in this case).
Going back to movie second time.
Rajat Kapoor plays the main protagonist of a writer who has just been released from jail and
is writing a story dedicated to his wife.
Somehow he looses his briefcase in which he has all the manuscript of the story.
And then the story revolves around that briefcase , how it goes from one person to another.
It may sound weird but yes that is the story of the movie but I can tell you that when you watch the movie you might not like it very much but definately you will have a word of praise for the director and Rajat Kapoor.
And now I have to mention the name of the movie which I found from my "knowledge source"
GOOGLE(Mr.Larry Page and Mr.Sergey Brin you need to pay me for this advertisement) ,
It is "SIDDHARTH - THE PRISONER" .

KAMINEY
I have hardly updated my blog so early previously.
But a couple of songs from this move made me write about it.
The first one definately being "dhaan te naan", there is nothing great about the song but then the use of the tune "dhaan te naan" which almost all of us have used during childhood days at various occassions like when telling some story to our friends and I still remember it used to be the entry tune of the hero.
Vishal Bharadwaj has used that tune very nicely and the for the first time ever i thought that someone surpassed Sukhvinder Singh in a high pitch song and vishal dadlani succeded in it quite brilliantly.
Probably it's because of his rock music influences.
The other song that's making the round is "Pehli Bar Mohabbat" which is brialliantly sung by
Mohit chauhan.It definately will remind you of those beautiful moments with your partner.
There is a different kind of madness in his voice I dont know the exact word but probably it's called kashish, correct me if I am wrong.
It really has some really lovely lyrics listen to it carefully and I am sure you will love it.
The only problem with me in this case is that I have stopped listening to such love songs and even stopped watching love story based movies.
The other really nice song is the title song "Kaminey" which is a slow song but I was surprised to find that it is sung by Vishal Bharadwaj himself.
It's a nice slow song which some really interesting lyrics.
Something that I have noticed about the lyrics written by the vetren lyricst and writer Gulzar is that he seriously is writing some beautiful lyrics over the last few years, be it
"Slumdog Millionaire","omkara" or "Guru" .
Although many people knew him before "jai ho" also but it did shot him to the fame so late in his career.
Vishal Bharadwaj being the only few directors in bollywood who understands music and has an ear for it succeeds in creating an album with some really good songs.
The other songs are not as good but people in this country have strange taste so you might like the other songs also.

CHAANDAN ME
So....... updating the blog after a long time.
Hardly got some time to do anything as neices had come down in vacation.
Had a blast playing with them.
The youngest nephew(Gulgule), he really gave me some tough time .
Now they are gone I kinda miss them.
Another thing is that for the past couple of months I have really found it difficult to concentrate and I still am finding it difficult to handle few things in life.
I think the only way I will be able to divert my mind from all this is when I get a job when I wont have time to think about these things.
Now something which made me write about it, and that's Kailash KHer's new album "Chaandan me".
I was eagrly waiting for their third album and I must tell you that the wait was really worth it.
One thing that I really liked about their music is that over the years their music has really matured over the years.
Like their previous albums this again has very soft music(most of the songs).
Another thing that impresses you is the lyrics, although to understand the lyrics and meaning
people might find some difficulties but they do make a lot of sence(unlike today's songs).
I particularly liked the song 'BHEEG GAYA MERA MANN' , the title song is also good.
"Rang Rang Ma" did surprise me a bit bcoz it's the only song with some fast beats unlike other songs.
"Na Batati Tu" also comes as a surprise with it's fast beats.
The use of sitar in d song "Teri Yaad Me" alongwith its lyrics makes it standalone in the album.
"Tere Naina " also is very good again the lyrics are rally good.
"Ishq Ho Gaya" is good with its slow pace and some nice guitaring.
After a long time we have an album with all excellent songs.
