Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006)
Sadly realistic, true and touching
Sadly, this is realistically what happens often. People get married hoping that their partner is the one, but later to find out that out there is the real one, their soul partner.
To what extent will one be willing to sacrifice for true love? Responsibilities, love of the present partner?
Unfortunately, both Dev and Maya don't seem to have put in some effort to re-kindle their love for their spouse and save their marriages. Some effort here would have made this movie more endearing.
Dev's father gave a practical advice, which may should heed. Love well, love deep and hold on to it tight. But if all else fails, let go. Let go so that each can find happiness in future. Time heals.
Devdas (2002)
One of the Best Hindi Movies I Have Watched
This classic is really well re-made.
One can not say more of the story-line as this has been remade so many times. I was surprised that the first version was made in 1925. The setting and costumes are really classical and the acting by all three lead actors tugs on one's emotional strings. The two mothers also had their share of fine performance.
The dancing in this movie is one of the best. The solo classical dancing of Chandramukthi is exquisite; every movement of her body down to the fingers and eye movements tells something. Ash really look beautiful here. The coupled dancing by Ash and her later on was also very well done and enjoyable. No wonder MJ went to India to learn dancing! He really had a thing or two to learn from India.
