is an extremely boring film! :) That's completely not true but that's what we are gonna hear most.
The movie demands lot of attention, and a lot of filling in the holes from the audience. Doubt how many people would care to spend quality time with the movie. and even if they do, the movie does not draw you in as much as it could. I don't understand what makes you feel attached to the characters but perhaps that element was missing from this movie. the underlying feeling of isolation, melancholic undercurrent fails to take over - maybe it needs a re-watch.
anyhow, 7 khoon maaf is next in line. and dil to baccha hai ji too. the year is full of interesting movies.
edit: watched dhobi ghat again. haha. its such an amazing movie, so full of nuances. but why does it fail to move? whyyy? perhaps the connections, characters were not laid out very deeply. perhaps they were not made so likeable. all performances (except aamir khan's) were so subtle, well-done. munna and yasmin, so powerful performances. and still, yet, somebody tell me what went wrong! again, either what they felt wasn't explained or wasn't even thought out deep enough to resonate with us. that's the best i can come up with. this movie could have been so powerful.
and the music of 7 khoon maaf is out. the whole album is a adventure in non-linear compositions. VB gone crazy! right now, i'm simply disappointed with that suresh wadkar song - such an amazing poetry lost in such a plain tune. awful! :)
