A thing of beauty is a joy for ever
Much to the dismay of my colleagues I had gone to watch Aja Nachle last night. Why did I go there in the first place when all the critics had written off the film and Madhuri Dixit? Just because I could not resist the temptation of watching Madhuri dazzle the silver screen again.
The hall was empty with me and a couple of more people proving that Mrs. Nene drew fewer crowds than Ms Dixit. Remember that Devdas grossed heavily in the Us markets
The film's music fails to evoke the passion that it should
The movie starts with a dance number which apparently is heavily inspired by 90s Samantha Fox, a melancholic hymn O re Piya as a cross between Chaand Sifarish and Yaaro Sab Dua Kaaro but is beautifully rendered by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan saab. The title track has the starting lines of the baul song " Dad paye pori re mela thheke bou ene de"... reeks of inspiration and lack of creative ingenuity. Ishq Hua is a hummable number.
Choreography is insipid till the climax dance drama.
Still it’s a movie to watch. Why? Because of Madhuri Dixit Nene.
I guess am biased towards Madhuri Dixit cause have been smitten by her since the days of Mohini of Tezaab. The first tune I played on the keyboard is "ek Do teen" and even today I play that when I have to try out a new Keyboard.
Lots have changed since the release of Devdas, Ms Madhuri Dixit became Mrs. Madhuri Nene (Dixit), mom of bonny kids but that smile still remains which can set hearts aflutter. Lets start with the major change between Ms Dixit and Mrs Nene. Seems Mountain biking has had its effect Madhuri looks awesome in a pair of Denims.
If someone remembers the videos of Aankhiyan milau kabhi aankhiyan churau (Raja)with Sanjay kapoor or meri jane jana (mohabbat) with Akshay Khanna, he/she will understand what I mean... Closeup shots reveal the fine lines on the face but that smile remains as it is (100/1000 whatever the wattage be). As does the dancing acumen with the adequate doses of Shakira-esque Hip movements synced with drum beats. The subtle nuances remain of the yore and the 'adakari' is just ..... nothing can describe that...
I had gone to watch Madhuri alone and I did just that. She still dazzles the widescreen. No matter what the critics say about the film, Madhuri was shining bright as ever always. The long hiatus from the industry only made me yearn for more I returned back home truly satiated.
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing......
