The cast is just so perfect, that everyone performed their part seamlessly. And yes, Benegal showed his touch by that ravi kishan's bit. I too didn't liked it. <br /><br />All the movies you saw in January are really great. I also have posted abt some of Farooq Sheikh's movies including <a href="http://dunkdaft.blogspot.com/2009/03/chashme-buddoor-1981-farooq-sheikh-film.html" rel="nofollow">Chashme Baddoor</a>. Have a look. I just love Choti Si baat. and its title song-Na jaane kyun...<br /><br />Thanks for your visit and kind words.

I looove the premise and the setting; would love to just live here for a few days and really soak in the village atmosphere. this movie is absolutely refreshing among all the other bollywood crap out there today - it is truly different and speaks to many poignant social issues. All the characters are absolutely fantastic; but esp. love mausi and divya dutta's characters. and of course Amrita Rao is just gorgeous beyond words. the only thing i didnt like in the end was what happens w/the compounder and shobha rani's characters...i think it could've done w/o that, but i guess maybe Shyam Benegal kept to bring us back to reality; that even w/ all the "progress" in the movie w/ the eunuch, some things still remain the same. It totally was a throwback to the Hrishikesh Mukherjee/Utpal Dutt/Amol Palekar days - no doubt, which are some of my fave movies (I just went thru the littany of Golmaal thru Choti Si baat to Shaukeen to Chashme baddoor a few months ago - brought life to a very dull 2 weeks in january!). keep up the good work w/ the reviews...ciao!<br />--<br />SaiSainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11776706.post-15550910382916187922009-05-16T18:24:00.000+05:302009-05-16T18:24:00.000+05:30Very nice videos!

And yeah, Ila Aun along with Divya was fabulous. Still wished there could be more of Divya. [Pannewali...:D what a name?] <br /><br />I have to watch Sooraj Ka saatwa Ghoda, yet.

Esp in Sooraj Ka Satwa Ghoda. Here, I felt the pace lagged quite a lot and I don't get why the Rajeshwari-Ravi characters just kinda disappeared. Amrita was ok :-( and Shreyas was fine for the most part but ooooooooh Ila Arun was awesome and so was the guy who played the eunuch. An ok watch I guess. I was disappointed.Pituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02438422220019928853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11776706.post-1915651962534193762009-05-03T14:19:00.000+05:302009-05-03T14:19:00.000+05:30JJC Glad you liked it.
