Eklavya Movie Review

Eklavya: A thumbs down below expectations Vidhu Vinod Chopra is an interesting film maker. His first outing Parinda was a classic for the 80s. But 1942 a love story was unusually bland with no one feeling much for Anil Kapoor's dilemma. Mission Kashmir again did not do enough justice to its theme as a movie about terrorism. If we look at all these movies, the central theme could in a way be construed as decision making dilemmas: what is right and wrong in a grandiose canvass (underworld, freedom struggle, terrorism). Vidhu Vinod Chopra extends the same with a liberal use of dharma concepts and Mahabharat references right from the title sequence itself. The movie starts with Amitabh in his baritone explaining the story of Eklavya to a kid( a voice that reminds of you the old DD chanda ek sooraj ek NFDC cartoons). The kid who grows upto Saif says that Eklavya was wrong. The story in short is that Eklavya(Amitabh) is the guard of a decadent royal family somewhere in Rajasthan. The mo...

Why Ek Do Teen is Special and should not be trampled

1. Ek Do Teen in the 80s was a song that ran in a loop across Navratri, Ganpati pandals and practically everywhere . The song that came in 1988 had an unchallenged run as the number 1 song for 2 years till Aashiqui arrived in 1990. 2. It made Madhuris career. It made her that sensation who could dance and also act well. She was know as the 'Ek Do Teen' girl, the step she has where her left leg goes back and she continues to dance is a signature move. Thrusting is not dancing. 3. We may not talk about the 80s so much in India. . It was even for Bollywood it was the worst decade. It was a time when we loved moongfallis and the simplicity, our stars at that time didnt have six packs but they had strength. We had aspirations maybe not the money. We were import dependent but we did not have to import heroines. 4. The song in the movie Tezaab is not an item song. Its an integral part of the movie script where Mohini gets kidnapped by Lothia Pathan( ...

#100days100scenes:Uncrowned king

There are actors. And there is Mohanlal. If folklore in his home state of Kerala is to be believed, then it said that even the veins of Mohanlal play a role when he acts. And somehow using acting alongwith Mohanlal when you have just written about Kamal Haasan in your previous post is as wrong as it gets. Watching him is like watching a river flow or clouds change shape. Mohanlal is the institution of natural acting if there is a word like that. As Mani Ratnam famously said when he directed Mohanlal in Iruvar, he forgot to stay cut many times. One of my earliest memories of Mohanlal is from the movie Kireedam ( Crown) that was later remade in Hindi as Gardish. Released in 1989 , this was considered a creative peak period in Malayalam cinema with many highly talented directors and script writers making very realistic movies with good entertainment value. Backed by a very poignant screenplay by Lohithadas , Kireedam is about a father-son relationship. The constable father...
