(The Most Dashing Kapoor ever)In the times when new benchmarks are being created by leading film makers and films like Rang de, Munnabhai, Krish, Black, Dhoom, KANK are all taking story telling to another level, I deserve a big award for having watched Sanwariyaa twice which is way below the benchmarks established. I didn't like the film at all, it is the weakest product of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. I liked Ranbir Kapoor, he has the charisma, style and persona of a superstar. Ranbir Kapoor has the looks, body and voice of a superstar and he also has the acting and dancing capablities to back it. Ranbir lights up the screen and can carry weak films also own his shoulders.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali whose two films figure in my all time top five list has done a perfect job of creating the look and ambience of the film, he has two perfect new stars but first time he doesn't have a plausible story to tell and has made cellouid painting without a soul.
The interpretation of a sentimental story from the diary of dreamer by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is totaly flawed. There are no sentiments! Dostoyevsky dilemma (a 'whole' moment of happiness, is that too little for the whole of a man's life) remains unexplored, a weak translation in hindustani is uttered by Ranbir.
The most touching part of the story of white night is the scene when it appears that Hero & Nastenka are getting real close, the dialouge goes like this "Nastenka, only I shan't sleep tonight; I am not going home." "I don't think I shall sleep either; only see me home." "I should think so!" "Only this time we really must get to the house." "We must, we must."
Now the other man appears and looks at the two intently, and in a hushed tone he asks Nastenka who is he? The reply of Nastenka is "it's he"
This reply hits the reader hard who has made a imagery of the scenes to come and shakes them up with a shudder thrust. A moment ago reader was imagining the lovers getting close, into the house and maybe... but it's parting time! What a turn of event that was, what a vivid renderance of imagery and emotions, what a liberty to the reader to transport himself into the situation and dream on...but the dream was over!
In Sanwariya there are no such moments. However Sanjay Leela is much too a great and true filmmaker to be ignored by his loyal fans like me, so the film will be still a huge hit, but next time I hope Sanjay Leela Bhansali should realize we fans have come to expect the moon out of him, maybe he is the only one we think who can get oscar for us, but still, for his next Bhansali must insure he doesn't disappoint us once again.
