Fanaa....Destroyed in Love...

Went for the matinee show of the movie Fanaa..Learnt from my friends that the word meant "Destroyed in Love"...Was sort of mentally prepared for the movie..Reached the theatre half an hour before the movie was to start..But as it was an Indian movie, the show started half an hour late following indian punctuality. Was actually expecting something out of this movie as this is the costliest movie that i have watched since 23 years. Adding to this Kajol was making a comback as well.

The movie began and i was overjoyed to see "Ravi K Chandran" as cinematographer for the movie. I did not realise at the beginning that it would ONLY be his photography that would make me sit till the end of the movie. The photography in the movie was just too good. I do not want to write a review on any movie now in my blog but this was worth mentioning.

I looked into my watch atleast 10 times only during the first half of the movie. The movie was full of illogical stuff right from the beginning. I could hardly concentrate on the movie during the second half. Started wondering about the state of Indian cinema and eventually decided to pen it here.

How can the movie makers be so dumb that they believe any movie that they make would be accepted by the audience? Also started wondering why aren't all directors of the calibre of Maniratnams and shankars. Had they all been the same would our industry not be rated amongst the top now?? There is also a second opinion to this. Had everyone started making good movies then the audience (rather I) would not have the amazing feeling of waiting for a movie to be made by the elite group of directors? would I go for the first option or the second..Am lost again..This has started becoming a routine now wherein i am put into a lot of trouble at the end of the week with such difficult questions.

Back to the movie again. An apt one liner would be - "Destroyed in Love" destroyed me in full.
