** *The two stars appearing together as estranged lovers! * **
Director Rituparno Ghosh is excited about his first Hindi film, which has now been titled ‘Raincoat’.
The film reunites Aishwarya Rai and Ajay Devgan, who previous appeared together in the acclaimed film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
This time around they play two estranged lovers that bump into each other on a rainy afternoon. The shooting of the film will apparently be completed within fifteen days and the release is scheduled for early next year.
‘Raincoat’ will be produced by Kolkata based Venkatesh Films, who also produced Ghosh’s latest Bengali hit Chokher Bali.
Rukhsi it isnt bout there was no songs coz that doesnt matter 2 me but the
story was, or actually ive to say there was no story in that movie.
And i know in Indian movies doesnt happen often that there is no songs in
the movie but atleast the story could be better.
i agree with rukhsarbibii...it was a good movie. the whole movie was based on how two estranged lovers meet for the first time after a long time. both are lieing to each other about the condition of their lives.
First i didn’t even realise the movie had ended.. i pressed forward button… and then… finally when the screen became all black.. i got to know it really had ended.
Think of it as an excerpt from the Gift of the Magi by O Henry and expanding on it. The dialogues were so normal and everyday that you can say hey sometimes I talk like this at home. If you were looking for a proper beginning, middle, and end then you probably wouldn’t enjoy it.
I bought this movie from Pakistan, It's been lying on my DVD player for nearly three weeks now, still haven't had a chance to watch it, i think i'll watch it this weekend.
I really enjoyed the movie, but then that could be because I love these type of movies that kind of fall in the genre of Gulzar's "Aandhi" and "Ijaazat". In fact, I thought the movie was a lot like Ijaazat as both movies were based on stories of two uprooted individuals who have a one-on-one interaction in a very confined setting... in this case it was the drawing room - in Ijaazat, it was a train station.
However, I gotta admit that I liked Ijaazat a lot more than Raincoat becuase it had marvellous songs with the poetry of Gulzar and Gulzar had written the dialogues himself too. Everytime I watch that movie, I get to apprehend a new meaning out of it.
This piece in Gulzar's voice from Raincoat is awesome:
Kisi mausam ka Jhonka tha *
*Jo iss deewar par latki hui tasweer tirchhi kar gaya hai *
*Gaye sawaan meiN ye deewareyN yooN seeli nahiN theeN *
*Na jaane iss dafa kyuuN inn meiN seelan aa gayi hai DarareyN par gayee heiN aur seelan iss tarha baithti hai *
*Jaise khushk rukhsaroN pe geele aansuN chalte heiN
I loved the movie Ijazaat! It was wonderfully scripted by Gulzar. He always writes such good dialogues with such strong characters! Do you remember how the light in the bathroom was used as a comedy factor? That’s the brilliance of Gulzar to me.
Nice sher! I hope Gulzar directs another movie before he gets too old.
I am waiting as I don`t leave movies unended.
