Agreed ...about Deepa Mehta and/or RDB (mind you RDB had a Aamir Factor associated to it). Delhi 6 wasn't a bad movie by any means - I loved ROM's handling of the movie. I am not saying even for a moment that Gulaal didn't have fantastic stuff from Piyush Sharma (Gulaal is one of the few non-ARR this CD's that I have bought this year) - in fact if you check the forum - I had recommended it to this group. The reference to Gulaal is just to bring up a good movie ..small budget but different ..not the usual Bollywood stuff ...Same thing with Dev D. I don't think its a ground-breaking cinema or the best ever ..but its nice ..a different approach and great use of music ...thats all. As Gomzy said, you need to check out Aamir. Music doesnt necessarily mean dances and songs always. Aamir had a fantastic score in the form of background score.
Also, I am not saying that AR works with every new director ...and agreed there is lot crap out there ...its just a personal wish/opinion that he tries out different subjects .....good ones though - I dont know whether anyone can judge a director just by speaking to him/her - but I believe ....someone can spot talent - someone in AR's camp can do that for him. Its an opinion ...good or bad ...horrible or fantastic - however be the movie ...our man delivers and I trust him - right from the Roja days to today and will do forever .... :-) -A On Fri, Oct 16, 2009 at 9:47 PM, V S Rawat <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 10/17/2009 9:32 AM India Time, _Anil Nair_ wrote: > > > Well actually ...I think this is a good subject .... or lets say an > > offshoot of this would be a more interesting one.
