A very subtle and sensitive take on a story alien to B'wood...
I liked the movie..
Its not SLB's best and not the best movie ever But t definitely is very much underrated...a very good movie misunderstood so badly by ppl...
why I said it is not SLB's best-Coz overall I felt Something Missing..a "something" I cannot find words to express..But I know why i felt that "something" missing...read on...😳
I have to say its better if one reads White Nights and sees the movie..If u do so, u will understand better...
why I say this is coz I am quite disgusted at Critics saying "where is this dreamland?", "why does Sakina still love Imaan, what sustais her love for him?", "why does akina laugh and cry so uncertainly?", "why does Gulabji kick Raj out inspite of loving her so much?" n all that ado! 😡 😡 😡 Read the original, u will never ask such idiot queions..Though in the movie I found that SLB had given the answers to this quite well...But who wants quality these days? 😆 😕 😡
On the downside, once u have read the book and then if u see the movie I assure u u wont get even 10% of the feeling u do when u read the book...coz The original story is too good and silly to be made into a movie and if u follow it to the T , No wonder SLB has been Panned! 😆 😉
all in all..a very good movie not one for all...Those who wish to see some quality simplistic beautiful and soulful movie, give it a try...But those who dont believe in their own judjgement, dont waste ur money and time..U wont get it anyway! 😆 😉
PD: Ranbir-He is a born superstar! 👏
