Hi folks,
It has been a long time ever since my last post on this blog. Can't help dude, I had exams and then something important to carry on! Anyways, Let's come back to the movie "Cheeni Kum".
You know, times are changing (they always do, there is nothing new about it, i know!) and everyone is trying to get a bit of western culture! Don't take it wrong! It's the rule of this world. Or say the fundamentals of human development! So, it's a sign that we are no more those stick in the mud who were shy to discuss the matters of man and woman in public. We are not only open now but also want to debate these issues, discuss them and look for a better alternative for what is being followed since ages. And moreover, in my opinion it's always better to understand things. It's always better to move a step ahead others.
Coming Back! I went to theater yesterday to watch Cheeni Kum and was a bit taken aback by the empty theater (just the quorum!). No doubts! it's already a week late, and was a night show so people turned were less. I had no doubts about the movie as none other than my favourite Mr. Amitabh was there. ;-) Dashing! Typical! All new role! All new look! But the style - it was the same old! Every superstar tends to develop some traits and he has his too. Though such, he is still better than the best... :)
As I told you, it's not just another conventional love story! It's a whacking film when it comes to the purpose of media, which in my opinion is -

As I told you, it's not just another conventional love story! It's a whacking film when it comes to the purpose of media, which in my opinion is -
To demonstrate people the new, unconventional and practicable ways of life and to tell them that there is something which is yet to be tasted and discovered, yet, not abetting them for unethical and immoral activities.
This movie is a great step forward in fulfilling the above purpose. This is a story of love and marriage of 34 year old, young lady from Delhi to a 64 year old, good old guy from London. ;) Pardon me, I am confused so words may seem a bit inappropriate! These guys fall in love and this movie tries to represent quite unique and not easy to understand chemistry in a simple way. It has to be a bit vulgar to me as I am just 24 now and still consider Love as a sacred thing(which I guess it is not!). So, as I told with time we are changing and are fluently using some unconventional words in dialogues in movies. Let me quote the most uncommon dialogue from this movie which has been used in it's promo everywhere (Mr. Amitabh to Tabu) --
But apart from this, the movie is really a whacking success for the team! I don't know whether it'll be able to earn on box office or not! Direction is just superb. Talk about emotions. I can't keep my mind off the last scene where Mr. Bachchan cries for a young girl friend of him(a six year old sweet girl) who dies of Cancer. This scene I personally would rate the best scene in the movie.
Dimensions:
As I always do in the end, I tell you the Dimensions of the movie. This blog is not just another Movie Blog. But, it has a purpose. My all blogs including this one intend to tell you something good for you and for this society. My purpose through these blogs has always been to help you decide on those issues, where you feel uncomfortable and indecisive. So here, I think upon this movie.
This movie is about old aged people when things tend to slow down and life starts to loose it's charm, it's passion. The symbolic meaning of Cheeni kum is this "Dying Interest in Life". That at that age everything tends to appear sweet-less and dull. We in India have a tendency to throw ourselves old when we get to move beyond the age of 50. We tend to portray ourselves like above 70. We walk slow, we think slow, we don't want to work, we seem to picture our life as it's ending every sec, slowly-slowly. Movie has targeted such people and has tried to convey them that don't die till you are dead! Remove those mind blocks and move ahead, still you have the stamina and guts required to do everything a young man can do; you are still so very young! I guess that's a good point and have been raised by the movie meticulously.
This idea has been beautifully presented in the movie in the last scene which I was talking about. To get the feel you need to watch this movie. At times, in life we get into a situation when we are crazy about something. We tend to overlook every other thing in those times. We forget what actually we want and what are the consequences of our actions. Say, for example, when we fall in love with a girl or a boy, we almost forget all what our family has done for us and our sole intention is to get to marry that girl or boy. And in this process, we don't even wait for a moment that how many persons we hurt. We just care about ourselves. How can we be so selfish? And down the line when we look back we see things lost, memories bitter and hearts broken. Then we think - "oh my god! what have I done!! This is not what I wanted!"
What I have to say is -
THANK YOU.
Marriage is a price a man pays to have sex and Sex is the price a woman pays for marriage. So, after understanding this very secret of marriage, Would you like to marry me?

Why is the title "Cheeni Kum"?

At times we become blind to our needs and we tend to forget things which we actually should have aspired for.

What I have to say is -
Widen your perspective. Look beyond a few selfish desires. Think carefully before you pursue. Cause it should not happen that at a point of time in life, when you have lost your everything for a particular reason, then you come to know that this was a mere waste. And that you lost your everything in pursuing something which was as rubbish and useless. Think Before you act! :)So friends, Enjoy this movie! Go to theater! May be you too learn something as I do! And then teach me what you learned, so that I get to see a few more DIMENSIONS...
THANK YOU.
