If movie is not good as per Sukanya, which is the other way to educate Responsible Indian with entertainment. I think Sukanya must be writing for Masala Films.

There are always mixed reactions for a moive like Rann. It is a beautifully well highlighted movie keeping the subject in mind. What we would as audience liked was, more of such scenarios..RGV is a master when it comes t highlighting to such things. He has his own way of showing it to the viewers. We must appreciate his work.But could have avoided unnecessary camera angels.

Awesome Movie
by Deepak Dhakad on Feb 01, 2010 01:00 PM  | Hide replies

Who ever has written this artical, must be a fan of crap movies. This is a awesome and flawless movie. What the hel, why should we care abt the Mobile phone model used in the movie. We should care abt the essence of the movie n that is fabulous.

Sudeep n Gulpanaz acted very well, there was not a single clue that sudeep looks like a dop addict and Gulpanaz's expression were also great as always.

I suggest this artical writter to go n write something abt Veer, because you are suitable for such crap movies. Pls do not waste your and our time by writting abt such serious movies. we do not go to thetre for rating Amitabh's tie or his son's mobile phone. we go there for a good sensible story n direction and thats exactly we got in Rann.

What's the role of a film critic?

What's the role of a film critic?

I think a film critic should behave and act like a religious guru who interprets religious books like Gita, Ramayan, Bible or even Koran for common men.

Not that the common man can not read these books ! But the common man relies on the wisdom of the religious gurus to help him unravel meanings and essence hidden in these religious text.

Same way, a common man visiting rediff relies on the wisdom of its film critics to help him interpret a film in judicious manner to him, so that he visits the movie with right expectation.

The common man also expects the film critic to understand the new grammars used by progressive film makers, deconstruct and simplify the meaning for him.

This would help bring about change in the public taste for good films.

Sometimes I wonder if Rediff's film critics ever bothered to play this role !

I, like thousands others, visit Rediff to read the news and review of films [ we do it out of habit as we visit Rediff for the latest news and can't ignore the links to film reviews].

Surprisingly, the review appears to be contrary to the popular views.

I do not say the film critics have no right to differ. But then they should give right logics !

In this review, Sukanya bothered to notice a low model mobile phone [ prop ] in the hand of a peripheral character and she thought that prop to be inappropriate.

If Sukanya had eye for details and could pick up the kind of props used in the movie, then she should have noticed props [ books titled as "dummies" like 'window 98 for dummies', 'photoshop for dummies' in the bookshelf just behind Mr Bachhan, the principal character, thus suggesting Mr Bachhan has been duped and made a fool or used as a dummy]. Just brilliant !

Sukanya should have understood that RGV presented the movie in a "deliberate sensationlised" manner with over-the-top-music and unusual camera angles. Adding a layer of "rhetoric" exactly the way media plays breaking news to us these days.

Sukanya also forgot to notice that the undercurrent of the movie is " high level conspiracy". And high level conspiracies are done by characters in "low tone","half-sentences" and "quarter-gestures" in a very intimate, closed settings. To capture the essence of conspiracies, the camera needs to capture the close eye movements and fine facial movements. The whole plot is verbose. The story moves based on words, not physical actions. And the best way to capture the moments is to use closeups.

It was so obvious in the film that Sudeep was playing a restless, ambitious character with lots of pent-up anger towards his father and own channel. But Sukanya just failed to deconstruct that.

It is obvious that RGV has matured working with AB and is no more in awe of him. Now RGV has the Director's confidence to use AB as much as the story needs him.

The credit goes to RGV not getting overwhelmed by AB and presenting AB as the film needed and demanded, unlike our film critic Sukanya who walked into the premier expecting to see AB from the first frame to the last frame.

Sukanya, please review the movie. For us. If want to see Mr Bachhan all through the movie, the please pull out old DVD of "Mard", where you can watch Mr Bachhan from the first frame to the last frame!

Mr Bachhan has moved on since then. So did the audience. Have you?

Sukanya [ and Raja Sen]! You have responsibilities towards the loyal readers of Rediff.

Please do not sleep-walk through your movie reviews. You are wrong if you think Rediff viewers are not discerning.

Hope you will do a better job next time.

Please review movies with a sense of purpose !!

We care for rediff. And we demand better film reviews next time.

Actually, the reviewers think by mentioning such stuff like low end mobile phone, they feel that the readers would be really impressed that they read between the lines.

It is just a gimmick and nothing more.

There is much moer to the film than Sukanya has written.

what i feel is that reviwers should be really unbiased towards a film and write an unbiased review.
