Dishoom - Movie Review

"Impressed" is the solitary word I could pick out from my vocabulary.....I have already mentioned the fact that new directors, particularily in tamil movies...make great impact..and sasi is no exception......An excellent movie...I am amazed at the fact that freshers...can indeed bring refreshing ideas....

A novel idea, like what if a Fight Choreographer gets caught in the mire of love...and what the parties at stake go through...told in the most realistic perspective one can think of....thats when one gets involved in the movie....and is sensitive to the ups and down of the characters..thats the victory for the movie, director..et al,.

If one song can summarize the movie...and make a mark for itself in all aspects like lyrics, music, and picturisation..it should defienetly be "Nenjangootil Neeye Nirkirai..", such soul searching music, is rare to come by, and lyrics..which are intune to the whole theme of the movie, asthetically picturised....

Agreed Dialogues being the strong point is one point, but plugging them in at the right scenes...to make an impact, is another art which the director seems to have perfected...Every dialogue is important, and crucial dialogues do make an impact on the viewer..and he is made aware that it is a crucial dialogue by its depthness...hatz offf....

Jeeva, looked to tread the chocolate boy hero..with his initial couple of movies...and I felt that he will become the grist of the mill stuff..but starting with RAAM, he has made a conscious effort to break even and does well in the act...emoting comes naturally to him, and his dialogue delivery doesn't stick out, which is very important for an actor...am sure he will make waves as an actor, by his choosy way of picking roles, what with his "E" promising much more...Lets let this young lad go places..and he sure deserves it...

Everybody literally everybody have essayed meaningful roles, including the under-nourished comedian, have been useful..I appreciate that....I thought Nasser was wasted in his role...but good twist at the end courtesy his role....

Overall, a pleasurable experience watching this movie...

I would give 8 out of 10 for this refreshing story line...
