The Rising
Happy Independence Day y'all !!
Went to watch 'Mangal Pandey - The Rising' earlier this evening and erm.... my verdict = quite good but could have been better.
Aamir Khans performace was fantabulous ... the cinematography was average ... the song and dance sequences were unnecessary ( 4 times out of 5 ). The film used every trick in the book to get an Indian's blood boiling and hate the Brits with an undeniable fury for what they've done to our country ( there was a brief moment when i started counting the number of Brits i know for real and began plotting the nasty's i could pull on them
)
Something in the movie just dint do it for me ... i dont know what yet. Will have to wait for it to gestate for awhile. For now, i found Aamir Khan's 'so called' blog where he has been supposedly replying to comments on the film. Hooooever, this big bad world of advertising has fooled many .. so dont be! Its likely that Msn and Aamir have signed some contract whereby a ghost writer could blog using his name to market 'msn spaces'... so before you go about writing the 336th comment to him ... think about it
Gosh!!! all this scheming and strategy gets me sick at times !! I cant believe i too do this for a living !!
