I was looking for movie-to-have-on-in-the-background-while-unpacking, and Netflix reminded me that it has Dus now (for full list of all Indian movies on Netflix, check out accessbollywood.net here; for my opinion and recommendations of Indian movies on Netflix look at my post here). And I am so glad I was reminded! It really is the perfect movie. In a very particular category of movie.
I don’t always do birthday posts for behind the scene people, but I really like Vishal! I saw him live, but even before that, he had written some of my favorite songs.
UPDATE: Now that I know the Indian scale has 16 notes, I’m going to squeeze in 4 more reasons! It isn’t hard to find them
I last saw this movie right after it came out, and it was soooooooooooo good that I never felt the need to watch it again for another 10 years. I remembered it so perfectly, after one viewing, because it was so clever and charming and unusual, that I didn’t really need to see it again, I could just play it over in my head. But then I started to wonder, could it really be as good as I remembered? And the answer is “No! It’s even better!”
I was very dubious about going to this concert, and I wouldn’t have done it if it weren’t for the convenience and curiosity factor of the location. But, I am so glad I did! It was awesome! Well, at first, kind of boring. But then awesome!
