SLB, Here I come!

Many a bloggers have ripped apart Sanjay L Bhansali and his movie black! over acting, no thick-plot, dangling sub-plots etc..height of it is that this movie was made with an eye on oscar..hehe..
if only winning oscar has such a pre-defined formula, then even i'd like to race for oscar..

I liked this movie and here's why.

* This movie is different!!
* shows lives and pains of people with whom we rarely get a chance to interact, about whom we rarely think.
* Leaves you with a lot of questions at the end of the movie. I think thats a good thing..either movie should have no story at all, just laugh it out and go back home or go with questions that you'll have to ponder for answers.
* this one doesn't have love-at-first-sight concept(hmm..where is sight in this movie?) or girls-falling-over-hero(h....where is the hereo?)
* This movie doesn't have Kareena / Mallika Sherawat!
* I haven't seen Devdas (which seems to have forced many a ones to prejudice on this movie for some reason)

One blogger had a comment. "Good effort, SLB, but you coulda done better."

I remember the story of a kid and her mother. Mother keeps telling the kid to study harder to get to first rank, and when the kid finally get there, she says she's got only 95% and she coulda done better and score more..you know what happened to the kid then :-(

If we're gonna praise someone, with a bang in the head instead of a pat at the back..hmm..why give it at all!

SLB, you may or may not get that coveted oscar, but dont worry about it..audiences clapped for it at the end, which itself is great achievement, as for most of the movies one wud be dying get out of the hall before 'The End' is shown!

P.S:- Ok, SLB, now that i've taken sides in favour of you, how about casting me as a hero in your next venture. sounds good idea isn't it?
