While we are at it.. Let the heart beat

"tankapur ki rani.. Badlapur..what do you want to see..." My almost irritated better (?) half asked me. It was Friday night and he was in mood for a movie.My better (?) held can be indiscriminate in terms of movie watching. He watches gems and duds with equal ease. I am exact opposites. Give me a good book and I am happy. Movies I am choosy or we can say perpetually disinterested. I like hrishikesh mukherjee's comedies. Some Marathi movies (read two.. Mumbai Pune Mumbai and gupchupgupchup). Some loners like chasme badoor and Bombay to goa and few new ones like queen and zindagi milegi na dobara. Otherwise I prefer a book ( read 1.5.. That's my 3 hour continuous speed) or writing ( only you dear blog) or cooking ( once mandatory but now more pleasurable activity).. Again digressing. Digress your name is ash. Anyways.."dial dhadakne do..want to see it" my better (?) half asked almost expecting a no. " ok.." Was all I said, not making him further tear his hair.. The pace at which he tears his hear when I am around will make him bald definitely soon. The story was not much but more like a perfect to look at but a dysfunctional family of four where parents still take decisions for their grown up children. I found it just so true and close to heart. The ending predictable and acceptable but not much melodrama..for which I am eternally grateful to the director. Incidentally I have started to like Zoya akhtar's movies. The one shot effect in the song " Galla goodiyan". Priyanka chopra's subtle but strong character and Rahul bose's typical husband. Ranveer Singh' confused son and anushka sharma's opposite strong and determined lady whom he gets attracted and eventually falls in love with. Then of course there is nail kapoor's autocratic father and shefali shah's nice but insensitive mother. These are all main or almost main characters. The other not so main but important characters where beautifully crafted and each showed up. I liked it.. I don't mind another rerun ;)
