movie-watching

since (of late) my body has been enslaved by the micro-organisms playing truant within, i've been confined to movie-watching for entertainment (while i'm not reading). bollywood saw two big releases recently - rab ne bana di jodi (rnbdj) and ghajini. this week, i saw them both. ghajini was the first - and gosh, what a movie. while i liked memento much, ghajini didn't come close. so much gruesome violence, why was it necessary?! i did like asin (the actress), however. so talented and spontaneous.

rnbdj was more fun, minus srk's intermittent silliness. in fact, the message in the movie aligned itself directly with my reading of swami vivekananda from yesterday - that one truly loves when one is able to see the lord in the beloved. a cute message, yeah? i'm seeing the movie a second time now, as i write :).

I am glad you liked RNBDJ - I thought I was the only one. I also thought it worked at a deeper level.

hi amrita,

apparently the country goes crazy over the movie :), so you're definitely not the only one.

i actually thought the actress did a really fine job with her first movie, and yes - the message did resonate at a deeper level.
