'm not here to fight or anything... but i cant simply stand ur statements.... it is vry childish, lik 'i expected dis but u dnt gav dat' ..... dis is ridiculous, u shud read da story first..... the story is widely accepted and only because of that vishal made his movie with ruskin bond's story.... so wat is the point f blaming vishal, n he only made da movie out of the story, n there is not point in ur statement dat -'Naseeruddin Shah is wasted in a poorly written role'- and da character 'Dr. Modhusudhon Tarafdar' is only have dat much importance and only dat much scenes are enuf for naseer to convey his role.... <br /><br />if u read the story u nevr ask the question 'wasn't susane aware of divorce '. it is in dat way the story is told... and its a matter of human emotions dude... <br /><br />and the funny part is dat, which u and Khalid Mohamed quoted 'Mere Paas Maa Hai' sequence... dude he is a russian.... an he can afford to commit such mistakes..... and for that Susanne's reaction is a smile only ..... dat itself gives u the answer to ur question.<br /><br />den vivek pls get rid off the malayalee in u..(*context - mentioning rahman)<br /><br />well u r really gud @ malayalam reviews continue with dat, 'coz v dnt 've malayalam reviewers ...<br />and dude nvr take dis as a duty to write 'CRITICAL APPRECIATION' to each and every films u watch... <br /><br /><br />CAUTION: "a gud critic nevr becom a gud film maker " - 'coz da moment u start making film the director persona in u gets afraid of the critic in u. and u'll end up making a bad film like 'Khalid Mohamed'(Silsiilay)ajairahulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297495364146600090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747784111069531151.post-88748784322318539242011-02-23T03:03:35.062+05:302011-02-23T03:03:35.062+05:30@ Joe, Hi, Not to sound like a bitch fight but I w...@ Joe, Hi, Not to sound like a bitch fight but I wanted to add that regardless if the person writing is a professional/freelance writer or not, if there is a striking scene or aspect about a film, then you are bound to see it,even if its one line, mentioned in even the most applauded and distinguished of reviewers. I have read reviews for years now by some amazing writers and I can assure you there were major similarities.<br /><br />Once again this isn't to make an issue out of it, just as a point view that may clear up the distaste.Githa Vananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06427421851402161966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747784111069531151.post-40917660964737724432011-02-23T01:53:54.889+05:302011-02-23T01:53:54.889+05:30Well all of us have seen the same film. And its no...Well all of us have seen the same film. And its not called lifting when you notice something which someone else had already noticed before you. The Shashi Kapoor line and the white cat were things in the film which is out there for you to see. And there are bound to be similar things spotted by so many people writing on the same film. <br /><br />Also, I dont write to show off. And I dont think I have even a quarter of the talent or experience in writing reviews like these two have. (Even though I think Khalid Mohammed is a very bad critic). And let me tell you, I do not review movies which I feel I'm forcefully writing about. I stopped myself from writing a review on even 3 Iditos because I felt I was being forceful.Vivek Ranjithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02248393106305388237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747784111069531151.post-88292125091426225042011-02-23T01:43:50.532+05:302011-02-23T01:43:50.532+05:30Mr. Vivek, I was truly dissapointed ... not wid d ...Mr. Vivek, I was truly dissapointed ... not wid d film actually, wid ur review which has been lifted from many critics like Khalid Mohamed and Raja sen ... <br /><br />I can see "a Russian who says, “Mere paas maa hai…Bachchan you know..ha ha.” Tsk, she doesn’t even inform him that the line was uttered by Shashi Kapoor" from http://passionforcinema.com/saat-khoon-maaf-movie-review-wed-until-very-dark/ where your translation is (why didnt someone tell the Russian that 'Mere Paas Maa Hai' is Shashi Kapoor's line, not Amitabh Bachchan's). !!!!<br /><br />and Raja sen's "There are inevitably a few very clever moments in the film -- a scene involving a white cat in the snow, for example, or that marvelous last line about broken spectacles" from http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/raja-sen-reviews-7-khoon-maaf/20110218.htm . You conveniently translated it into "What stays with you after 7 Khoon Maaf are the brilliant songs and the striking image of a snow white cat against the backdrop of the snowy peaks in Kashmir. " which has a hangover of Rajeev Masand also who ended his review in the same note !!!<br /><br />For what ?? to show the world that you r someding critique ???<br />Pity on U for this forceful review 4 just d sake of a show off !!! 2 thumbs down for the review and d reviewer, courtesy to Masand !Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05646744586474570852noreply@blogger.com
