Ok, so I know I have been missing for almost a month now, but this thing called life has really been taking up a lot of time...so sorry!
Even with all these things I have been watching films, so no worries...
Thankfully, my friend LOVES buying movies, so I've just been mooching of her collection. Unfortunately, she seems to have become infatuated with
Aamir Khan...so I've had to watch mostly his films, which of course they were fantastic, but still I just don't like Aamir outside of his 'reel' life.
So let me just say a little something about the films I've so far seen of his...
I remember not wanting to watch this film when it first came out, the whole action theme didn't catch my eye, so I just lived on being one of the few people who hadn't seen the film. But thankfully,
IFC was hosting this
Wake Up To Bollywood theme every Sunday morning, for about a month I think, and I went to my friends house and watched it.
I loved this film, yes it was action packed but it just about everything i love about films...there was love, evil guys, songs, *sigh* I enjoyed every second of it. Now I truly understand why it was such a big hit!
*SPOILERS*
Another fantastic film, Aamir really has a knack for picking great films. But One person that really stood out for me was hottie Kunal Kapoor!!! *melts*
Ok...back to the film...yes! This is gonna sound really ridiculous, but hearing that white lady talk in Hindi was just so weird, I swear I thought her voice was dubbed by someone else, but soon I got over it. I don't really want to say to much because the the ending made me tear up a little.
Dil Chahta Hai
*SPOILERS*
What can I say I really enjoyed this film. I loved the whole bromance {which I will say is a guilty pleasure of mine} between Aamir, Saif, and Akshaye. There are two thing I need to point out, I loved the whole idea of a younger guy being in love with the older woman, but I really had wished they hadn't killed her off. I wished the relationship would have been explored a lot more, because of the fact that the only type of craddle-robbing relationships you get is that of Older men with much younger women *cough* Shahrukh Khan *cough*. Not that I have a problem with that but I really wish we could see more of it in more Hindi films. Wake Up Sid did a really good job at it, but Konkona didn't have great chemistry with Ranbir.
And next point, I will say that I am one of those who ever saw Akshaye being a 'romantic' hero, some guys just don't fit the bill, for me at least. But there was something about Akshaye that really blew me away, I loved him.
If you know me well enough, then you know I have a certain dislike for children. Therefore, i really try to avoid films that have children as the main aspect of a film, but after hearing so much about this film I gave it a shot.
This was one of my least liked Aamir films, and this is not just because of the kids but I just can't stand seeing an older man make himself acting like a clown, and at some parts the film got too overly sentimental. I would just roll my eyes, one scene in particular is when Ishaan (Darsheel Safary) looks at Ram (Aamir Khan) painting and realizes that it's of himself, and he starts to cry, I was like "oh, please!" But don't get me wrong it was a pretty good film.
Have seen and enjoyed all of these, though Aamir is probably my second favorite actor (after Shah, of course). I think Tare Zameen Par might very well have been my first Aamir movie, and I adored it (though I have a soft spot for children - well most of the time).
ReplyDeleteI generally really liked Ghajini even though I found the plot riddled with holes, though that was in retrospective. While I was watching I was totally into it.
RDB has been criticized for glamorizing terrorism, but I thought the central message of friendship was beautiful and important. The film left me speechless.
Need to revisit DCH. There is a scene that I remember, however, toward the end when Aamir's character has gone to get Preity's character and her fiance goes to stop him and he just gives him a look. That is when I remember really being impressed by Aamir.
@Shell Out of all the films i've seen with aamir...DCH was by far my favorite...and Yeah!I know exactly which scene ur talking about...and I must add that I have still to watch 3 Idiots ... I know I feel bad..As a hardcore Bebo fan...I should be ashamed, but i'll get to it asap...and thnx for ur comment!!!
