Guzaa-rash

Sanjay Leela Bhansali should give more emotions into the scripts and the actors than the frames. This director is focussed mainly on the art of the frames and their colors. Always inspired from several films (Black was inspired from The miracle worker, HDDCS from Woh Saat Din, Sawariyan from White nights ), This movie lifts several scenes and the major part of plot of the nurse and a lawyer friend from 'The Sea Inside' , the tragic accident due to magical rivalry from 'The Prestige' to Hritik Roshan's look from 'My Left foot'.

The movie opened very poorly showing Aishwarya removing curtains with a overdone fake makeup of such a deep red lip-sticks that made her a misfit and a poor judgement. Bhansali once a good storyteller, needs a real script justifying the characters and the end of the story. Aishwarya's performance was pity and you may wonder that it's from the same director who gave her a fantastic look and lift in HDDCS. She failed to show the emotions and still has an influx of portraying a beauty. Her moans were as fake as it could be, will surely give Junior AB some nightmare.

There were so many tears and emotional scenes (on screen) but none of them will give single goose bump or a wet eyelid. The movie missed the connection with audiences. The reason for a quadriplegic to die looks so kiddish the very next second he cracks a witty line and smiles. The whole plot is like a half baked cake done with some great icing. The courtroom and courtroom was indigestible and added more weakness.

Shernaz patel and Suheil Seth were quite ok in their little roles. However, much hyped junior actors Aditya Roy Kapoor and Monikangana Dutta failed to deliver any expression. The blunt look on their face and an unnecessary casting took most of the film's precious moments. 

While the lyricist Vibhu Puri has a shade of Gulzar, with the lines of Sau Gram Zindagi and A.M. Turaz's Udi is worth listening. Another song "roses are red" at the funeral was well sung and composed. Although Bhansali didnot do a great music compostion like the way he did in the previous films. The song 'Sau gram Zindagi' has a shade of yesteryears.

Coming to Hritik- the actor was good enough for intense emotions and failed miserably on the subtle performances.All the magic were unreal and full of dances. The Director was out of bounds while showing the magic in dance/art form and it was too straight from the dream world. The patchy flashback took the content from the scripts. Kudos to Hritik for choosing the challenging role, but who wouldn't?
