Why explain so much Mr Mehra

Rating: 5/10 (8 July 2015)

I'm not really sure if Mr. Mehra has been successful. I think he almost does an 'Aks' here. In trying to explain that he wants a comparison with the past, he resorts to the most inane and obvious ways of actual super imposition. He did quite a similar thing in 'Aks' where in trying to explain his difficult concept he finally resorts to the obvious. Its time that Mr. Mehra trusts the audience intelligence. Saying that, I really appreciate the conviction and the concepts behind his stories and the acting he is able to extract from his actors. Aamir Khan's crying scene over the death of his friend was extremely natural . I just wish he could continue his first half magic to the second half in the next movie, which I'm sure will be even better. (30 January 2006)
