The little nuances of characters that I admired in the beginning were all mish-mashed and lost by the end.īut, the 20-minute grand finale in the form of a play makes up for all of that.


"Even if it drops, it's not going to plummet to the bottom." And drop it does. And that the script was in the safe hands of Jaideep Sahni was a comforting thought during the interval. All-in-all, pretty decent fare for a feel good movie.Īfter a long while, a really long while, I was thinking, "oh cool, it's not even interval yet" instead of "oh crap, it's not even interval yet." The first half was very engrossing. And all of this is running in the background, so there is no preaching. It is also an attempt to show how a new educated breed of politicians can use this power to make a difference if they will. About how politicians and businessmen play together to achieve whatever fancies their whim. Aaja Nachle is more a comment on the onslaught of commercialization. Anyway, there is nothing very remarkable about her character. Focus on just one character makes a movie very plain. And the movie is not just about her magical smile and wonderful eyes. Makes her more earthly.įortunately, the story is not just about her. I am really glad they didn't work very hard on covering up the blemishes on her face. She is aging gracefully, and it's great that she is playing mother to a 10-12 year old and not posing as a college student. The gripping script deserves as much credit as the woman herself. It is very interesting and rather commendable that although Madhuri is the heart and soul of the movie, only once in a while do you realize that it is Madhuri you are watching and not Dia. Everybody has to do their bit without going over-the-top and that's what they stick to. It's a musical, so neither is great acting demanded nor is it delivered.
