These are really interesting times in the Bollywood landscape.
Of late, a spate of meaningful, funny, and thought-provoking movies have come up. The last few weeks have given us Barfi!, Oh My God, and English Vinglish - pretty much one week after another.
Now I am a no-holds-barred stickler for a witty, engrossing script. The last few movies (mentioned above) have been low on hype and high on output, thanks to their wonderful script, fluid screenplay, brilliant performances, and impeccable direction.
The fact that I have not even counted GoW I and II in this list, and have discounted the not-so-universally liked Heroine only shows that there have been enough big-ticket movies around within a couple of months.
Now that the audience has been introduced to such riveting and sumptuous fare, we are pining for more such movies coming our way.
Hopefully, Talaash should not disappoint, and I am still rooting for the SRK-Kat jodi onscreen in JTHJ (despite its rather thanda title).
Thankyou, Bollywood for coming of age and for producing so many likeable, truly 'different' movies with such disarming regularity of late.
This is just a post and a humble way of saying keep up the good work, from an interested and appreciative audience.
A special note to the Censor Board too, for passing a potentially sensitive and touchy movie like 'Oh My God' without much fuss.
Dear 'different' filmmakers and wondrous, creative storytellers - well done and more power to you!
Well done, and Jai Ho!
