Well Priya, that wasnt a bad review. Interestingly put. But you could have had the jury point about the technical aspects like Background score, Photography, audiography, etc too. The judge could have had a better feel then !
Not only does Yeh Dil suck! The entire Hindi film industry save a few have nothing to offer. The Masala Movement pioneered by Manmohan Desai has devolved into super-formulaic film culture that has made even veteran giants like Yash Chopra imitate themes of his own movies. There is a tendency to underestimate the Indian film audience both on the part of Censor Board (which should be scraped anyways), and producers who commission utterly superfluous projects. Where redundancy rules, resolve too is hard to find. Probably there is also a dearth of able writers and directors. Changing cultural ideas affected by multicultural liberal modernism have not been recognised or addressed by the movies, thus the rich and middle-class sub-urban youth quenches it's cinematic thirst with American cinema. Not that commercial American cinema is better than Bollywood (although, it must be conceded the social reality level in their movies is way higher), but the middle-class in India firmly believes in English-as-a-elite-language. I also do not understand, if there is dearth of writers in Bollywood, why can they not adapt novels to the screen. Am I to believe that Bollywood does not have enough talent to adapt novels? or that the Hindi, and Indian, literature suffer from lack of writers? The Censor Board suppress everything non-customary as either too-violent or too-vulgar. They consider the Indian audiences as cretins, underage children who can only react with impulse never with intellect. It seems like that the collusion between producers and Censor Board and perhaps the financers has caused the death of Hindi cinema, which never really rose above its infancy. How awful that we cannot produce a couple of decent movies a year that are admired throughout the world. Where are the heydays of Ray and Ghatak? From sports to movies, how does a country of one billion suffer such an acute lack of talent? No wonder mediocrity rules our culture!
with films lacking any quality, your reviews are also going down the drain. this one in particular, makes a torturous reading. i started accessing rediff for all types of news (political, music, movies, sports etc), about 4 years ago. and have seen it deteriorate rather suddenly in last one year or so. start improving, or you will lose another reader.
hey,this film is a remake of telugu's super hit film "nuvvu nenu".teja also directed this film in telugu and emerged as one of the successful directors of telugu film industry.i would just to tell him that tollywood is different from bollywood.
The worst ever review wriiten ever. Almost as bad as the movie itself. Tried a new style, but fails to impress. No humour or sattire, no wit..Like listening to Doordharshan News.
