Last evening I went for a very beautiful movie..No thats not the word..hmmm..Or should I say relevant..practical..very fresh actually..The movie was "wake up Sid"
My 1st idea about the movie was that it must be on the similar lines of Lakshya-the journey of a boy to becoming a man.Which the movie is but the way the writer has displayed it is different.The character of this college going dude s shaped really well.But I liked "ayesha" more.Probably coz it felt closer to reality.Sid's metamorphosis was kinda quite obvious I thought.The boy sooner or later was going to realise his dream/goal but ayesha (played by konkana sen sharma)felt more real,closer to you.She plays this 21st century girl with some morales & principles,who knows what she wants,who is independent with her strong beliefs etc etc.Yet there is something missing.
You know sometimes we display something what we should be displaying although we are not actually that.We do that coz we need to be head strong to face this rough world.But we do forget that there is a child hidden inside each one of us which shows itself in some way or the other.Not necessarily when you play,or jump,or scream.Your childishness could be seen in many other ways.
After the movie was over,there was this smile on my face that refused to fade away.I still dont know why was it there.I felt at peace for some moments,very content.It was as though there was happiness in my aura which failed to leave me.Utter bliss.
Probably it was the music or the art maybe.The houses in the movie were very ethnic,artistic.Walls painted with very random colours not stereotyped at all.The curtains that hung at the windows swang in the air showcasing their pastel colours.But what hit me the most was the photography.Shades of the sea,Mumbai lanes,old catholic houses.wrinkled-faced old ladies,footwears,intense eyes,the waves..Oh it was amazing...
The movie takes you with it on a lovely voyage..to a world of dreams,randomness,idleness..to a world of fantasies,ideas,innovation..to a world of colours,art,ethinicity..to a world of beauty,pleasure,passion...to a world of laziness,with no aspirations,with no targets,to sheer fun & enjoyment,to a world of 'live every moment'...
Some movies just touch my heart..Sometimes people ask me,"Whats the big deal with this? Its such a simple movie wit an actor playing "a boy -next -door"kinda character!"But I say to them,open your eyes to randomness..There might not be a big deal with anything for that matter,but sometimes we need to widen our thoughts to simple pleasures & beauty of life and that happens when you start appreciating!!
