About my Blog

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain

Can he pull it off?

Unlike the rest of the Khans who depend on six pack abs or shirtless disco khisko songs, Bachchans who tend to border on few hits and many misses and Roshans who make stupid, outdated and copied movies, AMIR KHAN is the only actor in Bollywood who has managed to strike a balance between commercially sellable cinema and Critically taking Indian Cinema to the next step. Perhaps the only other actor in the same league is Mr. Kamal Hassan.

In the recent past Amir has been having an amazing run since Lagaan, Dil Chatha Hai, Fanna (the only mediocre film in this list) and Rang De Basanti. He is a Box Office bet and a purists delight. This friday sees a new test of sorts for him donning the Director's hat with TAARE ZAMEEN PAR. Very few actors make the succesfull transition from an amazingly skilled actor to a very matureed Director.

Will Taare Zameen Par prove that Amir is the Numero Uno of Indian Cinema?

We will know it soon.

Amazing screenplay! Though it seems very slow at times, has a wonderful message.
