KAREENA .. THE GREAT HEROINE..

First things first.. Kareena kapoor is sure to bag the national award and there is no doubt that she will walk away with all the awards next year. She has excelled herself in performance and there is so much to deliver for her in this movie. She has grown into a complete actress. She went into a different league after Yuva, Jab we met and Chameli. But this role in the movie is a dream for any actress and she has accomplished to the full in this.

 One has to give Just Simple kudos to Madhur Bhandarkar. He did not go wrong anywhere in the movie. He always attempts to mirror life and society through all his movies and in this movie he totally succeeded. He achieved this by sheer objectivity and detachment in handling the complicated and often attempted subject. In fact one must appreciate his courage in handling such a sensitive subject with élan being from the industry himself. His research is impeccable, his screenplay is flawless and his narration bereft of any contradictions. The movie is completely honest in depicting complex realities of film celebrities. It delves into deeper layers of complexity, to what appears very flashy, colourful and rich from outside.

There is a deep rooted philosophical touch to the ending and without being preachy. The characters are beautifully etched and he does not blame anyone squarely and covers all aspects subtly yet boldly. HE made a statement on media hungry gossips and how the entire glam sham world is actually so much of dirt and filth. He takes us into the journey of triviality of celebrity life and the deep stresses and contradictions they go thru in handling success and sustaining the same. The tough life of celebrities is properly highlighted with no value judgement. Every role in the life of a celebrity is structured well by director and his casting is accurate.

Arjun Ram pal never got his due recognition and he is one of the finest actors. Even in this all performances will be over shadowed by Kareena kapoor. When good things has to happen, history and world drama has a way to choose characters. Despite being my most favourite actress, i can confidently and without hesitation say that, AIshwarya rai would not have done so much justice to this role. Her pregnancy paved way to kareena and the rest as they is history.

There is no pretension in the movie and there is no exaggeration of any reality.  There is no underplaying of any characters of real and reel life.  There are no clichés and stereotypes like in Dirty picture. There is no making villain of a man or a woman. It’s a visual treat, and also has good songs and background music.

There is no vulgarity despite having to show so much of skin and dialogues are also decent. It is understandably A certificate movie and children have to avoid this movie as the complexity of the entertainment world can be understood when they become adults. Honestly it is a relief from several beat n tracks, clichéd, boring telugu movies. Also relief from tear jerkers, like barfii or any beautiful, devotional and love story, horror ( horrible) movies.
