Better film? - Page 3

YJHD without a doubt. I didn't like it the first time I watched it, but it's an entertaining watch. It has its pitfalls, but the package comes together and I connected to the characters.

ADHM was such a badly made film, salvaged only by the cast. I didn't find any complexity in it, because ultimately, it all came down to a cheesy twist that had no place in the film. The last 30 mins were unbearable. I just didn't buy AyaZeh as a couple from the very beginning, 'cause it just seemed forced to me. Their incessant quoting of classic Bollywood dialogues just made me roll my eyes. I don't think AnuBir have romantic chemistry. They were good as friends and soul mates (not of the romantic kind), but I didn't wanna root for them at any point.

They're not supposed to be a couple, that's the whole point 😆 I wonder if the movie has gone over many people's head and some part of the audience is too conditioned to accept anything other than romantic love when presented with something like this...

There we go again! How I am tired of this ' this movie is not for all' argument that the so called intelligent viewers come up with...🥱

Watch the movie first, then you can probably understand my post without reducing it to a comment on intelligence. I mentioned conditioning...which is very different from intelligence. Please note.

I rephrase- KJo wanted the audience to root for AyaZeh and Ayan's love for Alizeh. That's how I interpreted it. He made Alizeh's reactions seem like she regretted marrying Ali and that she had some 'love' for Ayan. I think he was afraid to go the whole way with their dynamic and that's why he ended up with this khichdi. I do not feel he made it clear at any point in the film that Alizeh was just not in love with Ayan. He made Anushka put on this confused expression and I think that was the proverbial carrot he dangled in front of people to keep them emotionally invested in the film.

I guess I am confused 'cause I didn't understand what he was trying to convey at all. Many would have interpreted Alizeh's decision at the end as wanting to spend her life with Ayan as a partner.

Conditioning, intelligence...spin it whichever the way you like, ultimately you are undermining the other viewer's perspective of a movie, just because it doesn't match yours!

Another thing I loved about ADHM, that I was just discussing with a member, so I'll credit the idea to them...is how consistent and real to life the characterization in ADHM remains till the very last moment. In life, many people can come to accept and respect other people's ideas or feelings after explanation...but very few ever so drastically change that they turn into a whole different person, ready to adopt diametrically different philosophies themselves. It's the difference between reality and fantasy.
