dasvidaniya

The clock was striking 2am. I was feeling all heaved up after watching another john disaster. I fail to appreciate how can one pay no heed to horrible acting for a butt show. Agreed John has one of the best 'HOT BOD' in the business, agreed that he has the looks of 'it' guy, but keeping consentements a distance apart from differences, the bottom line remains that he simply cant act.

God..i was bitterly reminded of Garam Masala. Enough was enough i thought and life must be go on. I searched for more movies in the hard disk which was choked with an array of viruses( who would have taken the pain to scan 165MB when i am very well aware of my anti virus's competence). After probing a few movies, i decided to watch dasvidaniya( i earlier thought that it was dasvidandiya and has something to do with navratras). Dasvidaniya, a Russian word, meaning the best good bye, was an absolute delight to watch. I cant remember getting so moved by any movie. Amar(the lead character) had such an indistinguishable and undeniable charm that i wept throughout the length with him. The simplicity with which he made 10 things to do before he dies, the innocence with which he expressed his feelings to his childhood love, the helplessness he went through by keeping mum about his illness and the determination with which he mastered guitar, were truly awe inspiring.
Inspiring neah..he was much more than that..outta this world.
