Swades: We, the People
(2004)

beautiful execution, well through out movie
This will be a movie that will eventually see a cult following. Its been two years since this movie released and it is as much a pleasure to watch it today as it was when I saw it first.

This movie is as real as it gets for Hindi cinema. Compared to other other movies this movie boasts of far better execution. It is well scripted, strong characters and has beautiful music.

It is not easy for everyone to identify with the sentiment of the movie. However, those who do will find this movie a manifestation of their own subconscious desire to do something for their country. The desire to make a difference.

The set is beautiful. Much more realistic than Lagaan was. Recreation of the rustic Charanpur appears very real. Not only does the protagonist undergo a transformation, the village folk do too. Its where NASA meets the bullock carts.

What a wonderful movie!

Salaam-E-Ishq
(2007)

Third degree torture
I know the subject line sounds extreme but to be honest its been 15 hours since I saw the movie and I am trying to find a worse movie that I have seen at the cinemas.

Much hyped, much awaited, this three hour forty minute multi starer becomes quite a dud with a poor script, inconsistent story line and poor editing. Towards the end the entire hall of people was actually laughing and clapping at the stupidity of the drama. The most entertaining couple of the six happens to be Sohail and Isha who have no role or story to speak I'd suggest giving this movie a miss. If you really do want to see it, wait for the DVD but that too would be a terrible waste of time and money.
