‘A’ ‘W’ ‘E’ ‘S’ ‘O’ ‘M’ ‘E’….

Even writing this word with apostrophes again and again was far more interesting than watching WELCOME.

And I just got a syndrome I believe,addiction to Nitesh’s Posts…keep writing till I find a cure

That was quick! Thanks. Yeah I guess we all like Aamir the way he is. Point taken. But let me fill you in on a secret. This post is good because I’ve been ‘inspired’ by a fellow blogger whose name starts with ‘N’ (No names, like I said)

Well, it made me think about all the layers in the film and not just look at it at its face value. The story lends itself to multiple interpretations, so one may or may not like it. The film suffered from a bad promo though. Many people, i think, went in expecting run of the mill sleek bollywood thriller or something and probably thought that its a film about getting someone to kick his smoking habits. Sleek it is and it thrills at times too but at another level. Its extremely layered and well crafted too. For me it was a very interesting look into non conformity, individual freedom and the price we must pay to blend into the herd. Very original for an Indian film.
Looking forward to your reactions on the film.

I haven’t seen No Smoking yet. My friend totally recommended me not to see the film, so I didn’t. But after your recommendation, may be I should. I am a big Anurag Kashyap fan.

Yeah, Masand’s one credible critic even i look forward to every Friday.
Btw, again, a very good write up. It does make me angry too when hindi film directors consider the indian moviegoers incapable of appreciating anything besides cheap, sleazy, masala movies. They are anything but therapeutic.
Have you watched No Smoking though? I think it was highly original, intelligent and entertaining at the same time. I’d strongly recommend it if you haven’t seen it already.

@Alpesh
That’s very kind of you.
I’m a big fan of Rajeev Masand by the way. I think he’s the only honest film critic we have today. Every friday I wait with bated breath for his take on the new releases. He’s just awesome..!!
