Dil se: Bollywood Movie

undefined

Review ------ This is a film by the director Maniratham. In this movie he handles the terrorism vs love as the subjects. A.R Rahman has composed the quality album songs and back ground scores for the film. Shah Rukh Khan plays the lead role as a worker in ALL India radio . He happens to meet Manisha Koirala who is a part of a terrorist team. She is also a sucide bomber. Shah rukh falls in love with her .Though Manisha falls in love at first ,her mission prevents to express her love.In the mean time Shah rukh family arrange for his marriage with Priety Zinta. The rest of the film is about which one succeeds - the love or the arranged marriage alliance or the terrorist plan. The Sensitivity of love and the feelings that run through between shah rukh and Manisha are well portrayed. Manisha plays her role very well in exhibiting the struggle her role has to exercise in trying to balance between love and terrorism. It 's the portrayal of story that has made it a different film from the others. --platform47.com It is indeed a case of truth proving stranger than fiction with the release of a film on terrorism at the very height of a global terrorist e. One would think that this fact could only aid "Dil Se" by heightening the impact on the audience. Unfortunately, this is not the case. "Dil Se" is a valiant effort on Mani Ratnam´s part but gets lost somewhere along the way in a weak screenplay and sketchy characterizations. The first half of "Dil Se" relies more on images than a solid screenplay, but Santosh Sivan´s camera work is simply stunning and perhaps the best I´ve ever witnessed on the Hindi screen. Every image is like a celluloid poem and thus very effective. "Chaiya Chaiya", "Dil Se", and "Satrangi Re" are some of the most aesthetically pleasing songs ever . The locations are gorgeous! Mr. Sivan single-handedly holds the audience´s interest despite the fact that they are left to contend with the very drawn out interactions between Amar (Shahrukh)and a cold, lifeless caricature called "Meghna" (Manisha).he script completely falls apart after intermission. Manisha´s character waxes and wanes between acting human and acting for her terrorist cause, but with no real pattern or logic to her actions. One minute she will feel guilty about using Shahrukh in order that she may be incognito in Delhi, while the next minute she doesn´t bat an eyelid when he´s arrested or in danger. Her breakdown scenes seem extremely forced into the script, and the only reason why these scenes prove even somewhat effective is because Manisha is and remains a phenomenal actress, even in an improperly-defined part like this. Mani Ratnam movies always deal with burning issues,while Dil Se has it's heart in the right place the movie does not make a very deep impact. --platform47.com
