And like every year, this year has passed by in the blink of an eye. If I enjoy a movie, I buy it for my collection anyway.2021 is coming to an end. If a movie isn’t on one of those three, I don’t feel too guilty watching it on Einthusan. I pay for Netflix, Spuul and Eros Now every month. Now THAT is a talent that you would want to share with the world! They should have got someone like Neeti Mohan, who absolutely knocked my socks off with her performance of Dhadaam Dhadaam in Bombay Velvet.
She sounded nice and all, but to really buy into the story, she should have had a much stronger voice. You’re absolutely right about the female singing voice in Aashiqui 2. I should probably try to have a look at that version of the story. My Dad is a huge Kristofferson fan, though, so I did listen to the soundtrack album many times as a child (there are some fantastic songs on there). I’m ashamed to say that I haven’t seen any of the versions of A Star is Born. I just watched this the other night as well. And it’s noble to kill yourself rather than go to rehab or accept your father’s help because even though you didn’t marry the poor girl, she’s ready to give up her career for you? If you’re going to copy the entire plot of A Star Is Born, then I guess you have to end it that way, but it could have been portrayed as more dark and desperate rather than noble and misguided. And sorry for the spoilers, but gee, alcoholism can’t be solved by love alone. This is not 1954! Surely, her character could have had a little more spine in this day and age or even some character development. I wanted to shake some sense into Shraddha in this movie. Your boyfriend, who never even mentions marriage and is fine living with you and ultimately off your earnings, goes into drunken rages and pushes you to the ground, and you can just hug him even tighter and it will all be okay? Blech.
Shraddha remains a naive ingenue to the end, convinced that she can solve his addiction just by taking him away to the mountains and giving him a nice shave outside to get him clean. You can tell Aditya is a real alcoholic because he drinks straight from big bottles! The addiction storyline here is treated so ridiculously. So, from the get go, I’m not buying Shraddha as this big talent, but the romance plot in the first half is nice and it is refreshing to have a male Indian lead doing everything to support a woman’s career. Kris Kristofferson was well cast, because while he is a talent, he’s not the legendary BARBRA. When I was growing up, you could not escape Barbra Streisand’s Evergreen from the 1976 film.
