Maqbool 2004

Cast- Irfan Khan, Tabu

By Vishal Bhardwaj

Genre- Literary

Prerequisites- have walnuts! Because the movie is tougher to crack.


The most important question throughout the film was 

Nimmi- Miyan, our love was pure, wasn't it ..?

Maqbool- yes our love was pure


Believe me Nimmi asks the hardest question here. How far is it to fall in love? Till what end is true love? What are the limits of love? Who is the bad one in the story? 


Maqbool leaves me with a new definition of love. Which is pretty strange! It is deep. It is confusing and it is beyond......


Maqbool is a film based on the literary work "Macbeth" of Shakespeare. Maqbool truly holds the drama, tension and heavy work of storyline along. The starting 40 mins of the film was extremely heavy for me to absorb.


In the course of this film I revisited all the definitions of love that I have ever heard. Be it 'Everything is fair in love and war,' 'Love is a disease,' 'Love is above and beyond,' 'There is no limit to love,' etc. Believe me none of these definitions that I have been fed all my life apply to Maqbool one hundred percent.


This movie left me feeling absurd for the whole day. Irrfan's closing emotions had suffocated me with a plethora of emotions. Whether to cry on his state or disgust him because of his actions was an uneasy choice.


The storyline tied a knot in my gut, and left me feeling helpless. It was like drinking the world's best chai cold. And you couldn't complain about either. 

 


Why should you watch Maqbool?

  • An excellent storyline that leaves you to ponder hard

  • The amazing expressions of the lead actors

  • The subtlety of the film location, making us feel home

  • A different love story

  • The story is written in such a way that it makes it tough to take sides

  • Even though I have an affinity for Irrfan I could not side with him to my heart's content. Something didn't feel right somehow.



Conclusion: 

Maqbool leaves its viewers with unease. There is something wrong either in the way we have been seeing this or 'how great love is' has been taught to us.

Stereotypes in Bollywood

-
Bollywood has been a very strong influence on the mainstream public for a long span of time. There were times when a particular dress worn by the lead actress was out in the market the next day. Trivial personality traits like hairstyles, dance moves, eye color, dialogues, luxury items etc were copied and part of the day to day regime. Bollywood was treated like a class that the common public wanted to achieve. Bollywood is a trend setter and has the power to influence people over good, changing thoughts like women education, sometimes bad, and morally incorrect things or behaviours as well. Well, not everything about bollywood was positive. Bollywood has not always given patriotic, revolutionary or powerful films.  It seems over the years that bollywood had enough potential to teach a generation. But instead of driving people out of the misogynist, patriarchal and stereotypical nation, Bollywood flooded it with other unreasonable stereotypes. Here we are looking at the stereotype that

Shershaah 2021 film

Shershaah Review   A Film by Dharma Productions & Kaash Entertainment Watch time- 135 minutes (2 hours 15 mins) Available on- Amazon Prime Video Rating- ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genre- Feature Film Lead- Siddharath Malhotra, Kiara Advani Prerequisites- Tissue Box to wipe away your tears   View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mamta Gupta (she/her) (@maggu_3050)   I liked how there were no details revealed about the film’s most interesting part In its trailer and song.  Nor the album had any insights. It had just a glimpse of the sweet moments of Cpt. Batra’s life, instead of his dedicated on-duty scenes. The lead has beautifully pulled out Cpt. Batra’s depiction before he joined the forces. Well, even though the other people I have asked say Vicky Kaushal would have been more apt choice for the movie. But I would argue that Cpt. Batra had a different built than Kaushal, Malhotra was an amazingly matched portrayal in looks as well as in the valour he depicted. The visual
