ZNMD.....Continued! (Plz read the previous post before)

Lazy Ajinkya is back....yes, i have to take some efforts and write 'lazy' here. The sleep was short but, was then occupied with other stuff... so now have found a suitable time to post and share my views for the other good scenes from the movie...  The number is 4 now, to begin with:
4. Should I mention the scene where Imran and friends give introduction to the newly found biological father of Imran. Salman Habib (Imran's biological father) has his sense for humor. When he speak with Kabir (Abhay) we get a glimpse of his humor and listening what he spoke, Arjun(Hrithik) whispers in Imran's ears and tells him that he is Salman's Xerox copy.
5. In the following scene, we get a to know more about Salman and we get to know that Salman doesn't like ot be a family man. If he had married Rahila (Imran's mother) he would not have given the required love to Imran which he deserved. Imran's Abbu gave him that love and realising this Imran apologises to his mother for asking about Salman and tell her that he loves Abbu and her very much. 
6. Imran, Laila and Arjun are at the ground floor of their hotel in spain. Laila and Arjun had just begun to head to their room. Imran stops them and ask both of them to go for a walk (long, ofcourse). Btw, Nooria, the spanish friend of Laila is in that room and no prizes for guessing here, Imran wants to spend time with her alone in the room. Imran is now headed towards the room...grabs a flower from a vase (it was a red tulip, i guess). He enters the room with the flower clinched between his teeth. As the camera is towards Nooria...he looked awesome....Nooria is not that uber awesomely looking lass...but the way she was shown in this scene...he was looking UBERGORGEOUS. Now Imran dances for her (does the spanish tap dance).She is amazed seeing the dance. They spent the remaining night together in bed. Nooria who doesn't speak hindi or english and Imran who doesn't speak spanish speaks in hindi about his wish to find his biological father. Nooria speaks some words in spanish depicting love to him. After a while she realises that Imran's eyes are wet.
7. For the first time when Imran meets Nooria:
Imran hops out of the car....Nooria looks at him and he at her...the expression on Nooria face is pure...saying "Yeah, I like this handsome guy a lot!! I want to Date him." Now, adding to his clumsiness...he takes in hand the HERMES purse (12K pounds!!!!) called by him as Bagwati and holding her gives Nooria the signs that Imran is actually not straight.This whole scene was amazing.
8. It is the festival of Tomatina and it is amazing to see Nooria getting close to Imran (in a more friendly way and not that she is flirting with him).This shows that how the personality, the vibes, the spirit of Imran brought her close or specifically more comfortable with him. This is rarely I feel to make a girl that comfortable with you whom you just met. That is why i liked this scene. This scene is part of the song sequence Ek Junoon (Paint it red!).
8. The songs are captured beautifully...one song i think...Maine Jeena sikh liya...where Arjun sits above the bonnet of the car and some humming sound is played in the background....that sound is awesome.
9. Last but not the least - Imran's poems.... i think they are in 3 scenes and they are amazing...i think i mentioned about one scene before where the poem is recited in the background.

Well, thanks for reading....Do share with me your inputs...other scens from the movie that you liked.

PS: Haven't proofread.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (You won't get Life, a second time)

I'm just back from the theatre, had watched Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara starring Hrithik, Farhan, Abhay, Katrina and Kalki. I want to jot down the scenes that i liked and i remember them... There are some nice and meaningful moments depicted in the film. Want to remember them, feel them once again! Here they go:
Will try to start from the beginning!
1. Arjun (Hrithik) is afraid of deep sea diving. But somehow manages it, experiences the underwater world and when he comes out, he is silent for the moment...tears begin to drop out of his eyes. He realises the beauty of nature... the serenity, the calmness, the quietness, the solitude, friendship,...Life and realises that he has been missing this because of his aim to gather money as much as possible and retire when 40.
The scene is beautiful...when Arjun is emotional.. poetry (narrated by Imran (Farhan)) is played in the background (i have heard this style somewhere but don't remember.. may be in Rajesh Khanna's Bawarchi or Mirza Ghalib Serial !!). I also felt that at this scene the background score should have taken a pause...and in the background the sound of the waves and wind should have been there.

2. The film is filled with Farhan's, Hrithik and Abhay's jokes.. but most of them from Farhan.
Hmm, ajinkya...remember, what else you remember!
Well, now there is no chronological or priority order... I want to randomly jot them as i remember..
The sky diving scene...here Imran is afraid. He asks the other guy to give him a push out of the plane...he's out and after sometime begins to enjoy the fall.... the three friends come together...join hands and enjoy...what i say... the freedom.... the free as a bird thing...the happiness.

3. The last scene is very wonderful, they are running for their lives amongst the crowd and chasing them are the big bulls of spain...they have to run...if they stop or fall in the middle then they are sure to get hit by the bulls and are sure to have gruesome injuries and in extreme case may die too. Imran wants to take out all his fears so that he is not afraid of any thing for the rest of his life. So he chooses this Sport.

To be continued after a short sleep ...till then adios amigos!

I to Eye with the ATTITUDE

Was flipping thru' some fotos of my friend. Went through some pics of his childhood, really he looked innocent in them. Children always look innocent in the pics. This friend of mine is elder to me. He is of the kind whom I look up to. I met him by sheer luck and i thank god for that. 
Now those I was flipping thru' were not the childhood ones. All the pics looked deep!! His personality was shining bright. What caught my eye, were his Eyes. They had many things to say in fact they wanted to say a lot about him. Those eyes, that face wasn't afraid of anything! They were like Come what may,You can't stop me! Those eyes possessed Responsibility, Gratitude, intellectual and spiritual awakening, humbleness, strength, and boldness. For those bold eyes nothing was impossible.
His eyes told what kind of human being he is. I believe eyes are the mirror or medium to know someone. 
Those eyes inspire me. For those eyes, I'll always be there!

A different genre

The story, the screenplay are the prime aspects which drives a film but there are films which are driven by Music (background score included) alone. Music is a separate original character in these kind of films. These films can be considered in the Art House category but there is something more to them than other Art house movies.
The music in these films defines the character of the actors. The music describes the situation, it helps in developing the plot. It sets the mood for the film and the audience. 
In the end, the audience remembers just the one thing, the MUSIC!!
