Whole of my Yesterday passed out with the thoughts of Christopher Nolan's masterpiece "Memento" drooling around my mind regarding the plot of the movie. Ufff,it really flew me outta roof.My sincere salutes to Nolan, definitely "What an Idea Sirjee...!!!" kinda movie.
I had unloaded it from the torrents to my hard drive quite a while back but just couldn't find a driving force to run it on my media player until yesterday.I admire(unfortunately)the (re-)makers of "Ghajini" for making such a cheap carbon copy and selling it as an Indian version of "Memento" and subsequently earning 200 crores gross in a week!! Holy shit...Must be a great marketing strategy.I have seen the Tamil version of it and to be frank it was ok but after yesterday,I am no fan of it.Definitely these indigenous avtaars are not even close to the worsts among Hollywood flicks.Those which are good goes unrecognized:( After so much of bad reviews pertaining around the Hindi version of "Memento" I just couldn't pick a ticket to it though believe me I am one of the biggest fan of Aamir Khan. I still wonder why such a versatile actor like him tried his hands in such a cheap commercial flick.Hope he isn't hit by a SRK-mania of doing such 3rd rate commercial movies where even protagonist's wife cannot identify him without mustache,heights of sickness,aint it!? And unfortunately Rab Ne..(from where did Aditya chopra find such a pathetic name is still a mystery;) ) was one of biggest gross collectors in 2008.Why are Indian audience so headless? Until and unless we reprimand them with flops they will keep coming up with such mindless movies.
Speaking of good movies and since Oscars are round the corner, David Fincher's "Curious case of Benjamin Button" is another one of its kind Movie.Brilliant conceptually and extraordinary show put up by Brad Pitt will definitely cast my vote to "Curious case.." ahead of "Slumdog..." for the best Movie,Actor and Director category. Brilliant concepts must always be admired and rewarded.Fincher,Chris Nolan,Coppala,Tarantino,Scorsese are all known for their brilliant out of box flicks which is bound to keep you at the edge.Indigenous cases,I would like to see still more better plays from Anurag Kashyap,Gowarikar or Rakeysh Mehra who have all the abilities and potentials to tackle it.
On an end note, I am eagerly anticipating Rakeysh Mehra's "Delhi-6" which sniffs the flavors of RDB to its viewers and all my best wishes to "Mozart of Madras" ARR for the Academy Award Statuette.
