aahh....Sheer brilliance!!!
As Rajat put it to me a couple of days ago 'Madhu - take a break from all these movies dude!!! but wait on second thoughts you are seeing sensible stuff'
You bet ...this is one of the most intelligent movies I've seen in some time.
Screenplay - meticulously crafted
Actors - Aptly chosen
Acting - Delivered as if they were living their lives
Dialogues - No moment inappropriate, although making an English movie with Kannada actors can be a double edged sword.
Direction - Does anybody who has seen Garva and other creations by Prakash Belawadi need a second opinion??
Kudos to Anant Nag and everybody else in this venture...I felt like I was watching one of those Shankar Nag movies again, (particularly Accident) the screen dazzling with intelligence, but not losing the audience with high-headedness ever. Note the use of typical south indian accents, the pun on Business and management lingo, and the various other pot-shots. It's dark, it's funny and ultimately very realistic....
A pity it did not get noticed by the cynical unconcerned audience around us, who can get anything in their way of watching and appreciating movies ...from language barriers, to presence of not-so-popular stars, to non-mainstream themes.
Well not that I care much....only that it might be tough for you to find. I also felt the writers were never un-realistic in the portrayal of the SW and ITES industries and all the hype around it. Wonder how they are so informed..
I think i'll write this into a CD and keep it with me, in the fear that I may never find a rental of this movie or may never catch it on a channel..
The only downside is maybe the length of the movie, could have been a bit more crisp.
Congrats to Mr. Belawadi on the movie, and congrats on the 2003 Silver Lotus Award too!
ps: HEY GUESS WHAT I HEAR SOON AFTER THE START OF THE MOVIE..THEY ARE FIRING 'MADHU' IN THE MOVIE....MADHU RAO !!!! :-) Pallavi Dattu plays Madhu Rao in the movie .. heh.
