In India, we are continuously bombarded with cheap, boring and meaning less Bollywood movies. It is true. There is one good movie a year, two must be an exception. It seems that tireless directors work 24x7 to bring on the screen pitiful script and dubious talented actors. Ingredients are always the same: masala, famous movie stars and unwanted dialogues. The target of spectators is considered brainless or incapable to reach a certain level of sophisticated reasoning and brave enough to not leave the cinema hall or burn it!
But once in a year, great directors like Anurag Kashyap, Mani Ratnam, Ashutosh Gowarikar and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, remind me that Indian Cinema is far beyond what we usually get from the western word. Great movies always have a brilliant lighting and dynamic camera, powerful dialogues, spectacular background score and excellent editing. If the story disappoint you, at least one of those components make the movie unique in is genre. Those directors rarely disappoint a sensible public.
Guzaarish is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who choose one of the best and hottest duet in Bollywood: Aishwaria Rai-Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan.
The story is set in Goa, mostly in a splendid Portuguese style's mansion where Ethan Mascarenhas (Hrithik Roshan), a former magician who is paralyzed from neck down, live under the care of Sofia D'Souza (Aishwarya Rai), his nurse for the past twelve years.
On the fourteenth anniversary of his accident, he decide to file an appeal to the court for euthanasia and thanks of his hobby as a Radio Jockey he starts to speak openly and look for support in the country. Both stubborn and strong characters, in the beginning they fight each other because of the drastic decision made by Ethan but at the end true love brings them together as invincible warriors.
The film is so well made that it is impossible not to be touched by the love and the drama in it. It is a cry for help, for comprehension and for a dignitose death.
It is unquestionably contemporary.
Lets watch it!
