Main Vapas Aunga- Film Review

I like Naseeruddin Shah. In film and theatre. He does not let you down, in this engaging look at love blooming between a Sikh boy and a Muslim girl in what will be Pakistan, before 1947. 

Partition and what precedes it changes the equation for the young lovers. He promises not to leave her side, and to come back for her, if he is forced to separate.

How things pan out is what the movie is about.  Diljit Dosanjh, and the young couple- Sharvari and Vedang (I think) play their roles to perfection. The direction is good, though I feel about 10 minutes could have been cut to reduce the length of the film.

Overall, worth a watch.

Review of Good News- Hindi Film

They have got it right- that's the good news. The direction is competent.

In India, usually good news means either a marriage, or a pregnancy. In this case, it is the latter..at least, attempts to get there, and the twists that follow. I really liked Diljit Dosanjh in this one, he brings the liveliness required in an otherwise serious film. He is hilarious in some scenes.

The gender roles are brought out quite well, including the insensitivity of the male mostly, and the more emotional side of the female, and the ups and downs keep the story interesting. The dialogue is very good, and helps engage us with the characters, who are set up better than in most films of recent origin. First time I saw Kiara here, and she does her job well. Akshay's role is almost villainish, and he is good at playing it. Kareena too. The supporting actors add to the story, including the doctor and his wife, and their self-promotion video. :)

After Vicky Donor and the film that tackled impotence, another one that tackles a related subject- IVF. My only quibble is, that it puts down adoption. Will someone make a movie about that, please?
