Parineeta


What a sweet film! Just watched it now... will spare you the story as I think I am probably the last person on the planet to see it :oP

The chemistry between Saif Ali Khan (Shekhar) and Vidya Balan (Lolita), playing childhood friends, was strong - very believable. Although that's not surprising - Vidya is stunning in a very understated way..like the heroines of yesteryear :o)

The ending was a bit disappointing, if I have to pick a weak point. Watching Saif smash through a wall with the aid of a garden ornament (yes, really) was a bit not in keeping with the atmosphere of the film - I would've preferred he just dash after Vidya in the rain or something..throw himself in front of her car..I dunno - anything but the water fountain! Still....I'd watch it again :o)

Oh yes - Sanjay Dutt had a smallish role. I kept expecting him to burst into a Munnabhai dialogue though..hehe..

Omkara - Naina


'nainon ki mat maaniyo re
nainon ki mat suniyo
nainon ki mat suniyo re
naina thag lenge, naina thag lenge...

...jagte jaadu phukenge re, jagte jagte jaadu
jagte jaadu phukenge re, neenden banjar kar denge
naina thag lenge...'


Penned by Gulzar, and sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan - this is my song of the moment. Absolutely beautiful - I've had it on constant repeat for days. Haven't seen the film yet, so I'm very curious to know how this song is used (if it's used). I love Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's voice - heavenly :o)
