SHOCKINGLY MOVING,WOULD LEAVE YOU SPELLBOUND,DUMB-FOUNDED,BEDAZZLED
I have been a Die hard Fan of Bhatt Sahab[Mahesh Bhatt] since i watched 'Woh Lamhe' in the falls of 2006.Though it had started 3 years back with 'Saaya',Woh Lamhe was the one which really moved me & since then there was no looking back.The name was enough for me to drag me to the nearest Silver Screens always with loads of expectations,everytime which were fulfilled[though we haven't; had that much of the real Bhatt touch since Awarapan(2007)].
I very vividly remember Saaya as being just the 3rd movie of my life@the Big Screen & the 1st one of the beginning of an independent life.It was a day worth cherishing & still very vividly remember that '13th July'[2003].'Vijay Cinemas' it was,noon show ofcourse,accompanied by Tib[now Singham].What really made me & go for it,i still don't know.Maybe i was tired of living a life where i was never like taken to movies like other children & i may surprise many a people here my debut @Big Screens was at the age of 15[Class Xth],that too after prolonged discussions & negotiations[i would neva forget & even understand why i was made to wear that Tie by Papa for the show],the movie being K3G &......well lets take a Break...Phewwwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!
Well....i guess i was here today for something else but when the discussion bout "My Movie Life" started i again deviated from the topic.Chalo koi gal nii,raahi manzil dhund hi lenge.
'Can True Love Bring Back The Dead'- Saaya
'For Everyone,Who Has Loved & Lost'- Woh Lamhe
'She Fell In Love With Him The Day She Left Him'- Gangster
'Love Was His Only Destination'- Awarapan
I have really been fascinated by Bhatt's movies since then & post Woh Lamhe they were bove 'Christpher Nolan's, 'David Lynch's & 'Quentin Tarantino's landmarks for me & i say it from the depth of my heart,its not easy to touch people's heart with your movies something Ron Howard did with 'A Beautiful Mind' & Gabriele Muccino with 'The Pursuit Of Happyness' or to be more precise 'Frank Capra' with 'Its A Wonderful Life'.
Now why all this.Well,this much praise for the Bhatt Sahab when i haden't even seen his Masterpiece.Well,dere may be more & in fact are a bunch of such Magnum Opus of his which i haven't still seen but 13 years post its release today when i saw %^&&* i really cursed myself for seeing it so late.Matlab,yaar bachpan me movies se kyun mehroom rakha hame itna :((( Seriously :x :x :x
I have promised myself one thing,& that is for sure,my children,am gonna show them the best of movies since they are 2-3 years old,starting with as promised 'Tangled' & letting them see life through some of the best made movies[& books too].I am a real,firm believer that there are movies/books which have & which still can change societies,mindsets of people & an individual on a whole,they really do.Its not really long ago when people came back home watching 'Baagban' & thanked God for being in their lives in the form of their parents.Though it varies from people to people but it all depends upon what you wanna teach them & how deep your love is.
Well,if dere's just one reason why am blabbering like a Chatterbox bout all these ethics,values & the importance of movies & Real Cinema its all coz of 'Zakhm'.
Well,to praise this movie i really have to undermine all the other movies i have seen recently.Its an irony that we live in a country where movies like Murder emerge as a Blockbuster & a movie which won a National Award,which in the finest way possible captured the Emotions of a person entangled in the Hindu-Muslim good for nothing violence,a fight to give his mother some space to be buried,politicians who even can't stop playing their evil games even with a dead soul,the movie which deserved to be shown to everyone,every human possible,a lesson to be learnt & if not for others,if not even for their country[if they are so selfish],atleast for their own children,let them have a Bharat where they can live in Harmony with each other peacefully eternally,Flopped.
The man who played a pivotal role in burning Pooja Bhatt in that movie which eventually caused her death is shown tormenting himself with the fear of going to Hell just coz of the fact that she was a Muslim like him[which he didn't knew earlier].A Pity that religion comes before humanity [for him] & what he got in return.
The movie in just those 120 Minutes captures all with a Lifetime performance by Ajay Devgan & a really powerful role by Pooja Bhatt.When this movie emerged as a flop,Mahesh Bhatt a man who had seen it all in his life[as people say],the movie itself dedicated to his mother,he took the decision which was inevitable.
"India's audience justs needs Sex in the movies & now am gonna provide them with that only".
Mahesh Bhatt
& that is how we had....
MURDER
ZEHER
PAAP
JISM
ROG
& many more,all huge business generating instant Hits for the Bhatt clan just proving himself correct & givin us another reason to be really ashamed of ourselves,but then its the truth & it has to be respectfully accepted.
'Zakhm' is so highly Emotionally charged its really gonna move u,how hard you may be on the outside & even inside.'Kunal Khemu' as a debutant deserved a National Award too if there for one for the Kids.The movie surprises,touches,moves,motivates,agitates & even intimidates you in all the possible ways.
Can anyone imagine being in the place of Ajay in 'Zakhm'.The climax scene which may as well be the most moving scene of Indian Motion Cinema.
"Mere Marne Ke Baad Mere Shareer Ko Kachde Ke Dabbe Me Phek Dena,Lekin Maa Ke Shareer Ke Saath Wahi Hoga Jaisa Maa Chahti Thi"
"Main Sirf Itna Jaanta Hoon Ki Duniya Ka Koi Bhi Dharm Ek Bete Ko Apni Maa Ki Aakhari Ikshya Puri Karne Se Nahi Rook Sakta"
Ajay Devgan infuses life to these lines & believe me there would have been pin drop silence everywhere when these lines were being delivered.
& for Bhatt Saheb,they say its his own story,well..i really need to read more about it from some credible sources but if its true,i don't think its one thing which can ever be forgotten by anyone & thus the name as they say......
