Phir Milenge (2004)
Real test of a person's behaviour can only be a real situation
Phir Milenge deals with the issue of AIDS. But within it is hidden a more critical issue of how we deal in our relations.Are most of the relations which seems so powerful on top, doesn't have a hollow base ? And a slight shock ,rather a small fear ( even if it's misplaced) crumbles the entire building. There is a general psychology prevailing in our mind which attach's AIDS only with sexual relation .And instead of taking it as a disease, we start taking the person himself as a disease for society. We start believing that he is a curse to society and in turn we make a disease which was physical in nature to mental forcing the patient to bear with mental trauma of social boycott.
Coming to the movie, I must admit that before this movie I never take Shilpa shetty seriously considering her only as a item girl .But believe me, this movie has transcended her from a heroine to a good actress. Excellent acting done by her under the able hands of a sensitive director.As for the rest of cast , Abhishek Bachchan needs a special mention for his acting as well as selection of film. He is one actor to watch out in future who dares to go again formula cinema of bollywood and do meaningful films.
Samay: When Time Strikes (2003)
movie where time flews away
This is a movie where director grabs audience in mystery right from the shot one.It starts with the murder of a famous businessman and then a series of murders follows it. The interesting part is that each murder has some clues left behind which are left for police cop(brilliantly played by sushmita sen) to solve. Unlike other bollywood films audience gets an opportunity to go on a parallel journey with her on murder trail and director intelligently introduces twists here and there to thicken the plot.
The performances are brilliant especially by Sushmita Sen and Sushant Singh. Sushant Singh has again come out with a balanced performance as an assistant of Sushmita Sen and his fans of "Jungle" and "The legend of Bhagat Singh" won't regret this one. But the surprise package of film is Sushmita Sen who perfectly essays the role of a cop and has given a balanced performance.The time has come when Bollywood film makers start considering her seriously beyond dance numbers.The only weak point in film is that the end is a bit too hasty . A movie worth watching for those looking beyond Bollywood family dramas. My recommendation is 7/10
