We The People

We the people. It does catch the imagination of the population , firing up the patriotic zeal in the volatile minds of the youth of a nation ,which is still with bright memories of a fight , a fight of a nation for its independence. You sit in a theatre and watch Shah Rukh Khan being transformed from a Non Returning Indian ,walking around with his ever faithful aquafina ( how many times have we seen it in real life , so real !) and slowly feeling the fires of righteousness lighting up , slowly and steadily , finally manifesting itself as tear filled scene where he finally realises the hardships of the *real people* ,handing out all the money he has to an apolegetic farmer who can't even feed his children but treats his guest like 'bhagvan'. I have to hand it to them ,because this is one of the moments where the movie finally sets itself to a good rhythm and pace. From there on even the ever screaming ,wise cracking mass of mostly fist years , who formed the majority of the theatre population ,were silent ,sitting on the edge of their seats ,hanging on to every word coming out of the talented actor ,each one vibrating with patriotic flair and those coming out of the not so talented but gorgeous actress. The songs in the movie had everyone clapping their hands to the beat , showing yet again how A.R.Rahman can entice listeners whether he does more movies than we can imagine possible or not . Chala was, like always in a bad mood , but that did not deter any of us from having fun ,during the carefully constructed hoaxed visit , Roshan disgusting meenu with his descriptions of the dead rat and CJ late by half an hour like always . In the end though the bad acting of the actress finally caught up with the movie , destroying one of the *nail biting* scenes , when she with close eyes 'chanted' ,"please dont go , please dont go" , to finally see that Shah Rukh had gone . It was better , to have him go and complete his 'Nasha'(NASA) lauch ,ripped off from countless movies , but ripped off reasonably well. So no complaints . All in all the movie is what it says it is - a serious movie which tries to break the mould of masala movies ,one which doesnt compromise good film making ,just to make a fashion statement . Go watch it if you dont mind long old hindi dialogues which you may have heard a thousand times . "Sanskruti...Parampara". Jai Hind!
