Watched Mausam today all by myself....of course Mr. Mishra was surprised, but unlike last time he didn't say...."Oh, you're watching the movie all by yourself, you aren't waiting for me to take you to the movies."
Anyways, to do what I want to do - I thought Mausam was changing seasons too many too soon too sudden.
Just like its slogan " A timeless love story" - I think the the team thought they have less time to tell this story....too many subplots....too many visits around the country and foreign locales.....but what was most important was that there was a distinct difference in the way first and second half were handled.....I thought may Senior Mr. Kapoor directed the first half and then our dear Shasha (Shahid, for all who don't know) threw tantrum and doned the director's chair.
Loved the look and picturisation.......Sasha looked yum, took me back in time and reminded of all those young officers we used to have a crush at the mess parties :) :).....happy memories. Sonam looked gorgeous. Both papa and sunny kapoor took the wise decision to keep Sonam's lines to the minimum.
Sonam looked gorgeous.Have to hand it to her, very stylish and good glamour for the movie. Atleast she had less lines, otherwise the movie would have been unbearable and long.
The movie seemed a little longer than it should've been.....maybe chopping of a few sequences wouldn't have made a big difference....was Sr. Kapoor's idea or Sasha's idea for the movie to be this dramatic....I think the times of Karan Johar mega drama days are passe....and I think this Kapoor clan forgot about that.....it might be about events of the past, when dramatic movies were a hit, but not anymore.
Mr. Pankaj Kapoor, good luck for Happi...looking forward to it....your directorial venture wasn't bad, but not as par with your acting skills.....I'm sure with time your story telling skills would also reach the same height as your acting.
