The vintage, the color, the sensuality, the acting, photography and the music-Oh the music..by Moitra, is spell binding, so much so I saw this movie about eleven times and the music never ceases to enchant me like music of "Evita". Shantanu Moitra has incredible handle on the musical instruments and he is the latter day R.D.Burman. The two actors stand out with such glee. Rajat Kapoor and Soniya Jehan are credit to Films. But Soha's acting is so pure and subtle with little nuances (like "Nighat" shaking her head to the directors instructions-so typical of Indian gestures.) This movie has an intricate and innate beauty like "Mai Madhuri Dixit" but the credit should go to Mishra for directing and Subash Jha for producing and putting together this incredible cast. This movie is what movie making is all about. Soha Ali Khan and Shiny Ahuha have pure magic and old fashioned romance. This movie should have gotten awards for Best Film, Best Direction, Best Acting (Soha), Best Music and Best Photography. I know this movie was shown at Palm Springs Film Festival but was hardly noticed by the media (these Mumbai chamchas who have no class or taste. These bums are busy wiping the bottom of the Three Scum maggots who are put on pedestal by cheap front benchers who are the kind who spit in the theaters)
