Here's my 2 cents:-
Sadly - These kind of movies are an instant 'flop' in Indian cinema, because these movies are [ as someone rightly put here ] a gift to an intelligent audience. This jargon,does not exist in the majority. So movies like these have only one way to go , the cemetery. Even after knowing this, Ghosh makes this movie, hats off to him.
about...Annu Kapoor. I too agree that he reminds me of what a great talent he is and how he's been wasted in shows like "sa-re-ga-ma" and suit.....
Final note:- and I've to admit that the story's been inspired [ copied as some may say ] from "The Gift Of The Magi" written by "William Sydney Porter aka O Henry", but has the complete Indian touch given to it, which was shamelessly missing in "black".The streets in the sets of "black" were 19th century English cobbled streets with victorian backdrops. I mean what point was bhansaali trying to depict?
I'm glad that Ghosh has taken the guts to show
some torch in the otherwise Bollywood rut.
'Black' is just a shoddy 'wannabee' in front of
this.
But like all things, at the end, good sense prevails...Black will go down in history as a mega
huge multi million dollar money spinner making bhansaali a mega tycoon, while Raincoat may just scrape a few cents in for Ghosh. Very sad, but that's the way it goes today and who am I to disagree.In This world today, glorified c*#p has immense value than rock hard quality.
Sorry guyz/gals...nothing personal, just a point of view of worth 2 cents.
