Aamir - the new movie about town.

So, there is this new movie about town - Aamir.

Not exactly brand new ( I am a little late with my comments). The movie is now out of the theatres and doing the DVD rounds.

I have been away for a month and came back to rave reviews of the movie. I decided to buy the DVD version and watch the movie that's gotten all this praise!

I watched the movie and all the while kept feeling this invisible pressure to 'appreciate' the movie, its 'freshness', the great find - Rajeev Khandelwal and so on and so forth.

I came away liking the ending - when Aamir behaves in a way deserving of his name ( which apparently means leader - the one line concept to which the entire movie builds up to ). But I wasn't sure if it was a great movie etc.

Normally, I simply know if I liked a movie or not. In this case, I obviously didn't like the movie and felt very pressured to re-consider my opinion.

All this was over the weekend.

Today, I spent some time reading comments on mouthshut. Boy! was I glad that I did! It was liberating. :)

For one, this movie is supposed to be a copy of Cavite. Why am I not surprised???

Its a simple, no-brainer kind of movie.... clad in psuedo-intellectual garb. As Taran Adarsh puts it, the movie tries to be for the 'discerning' & 'thinking' viewer.

Whatever. It's not a great movie. It's exactly what it was meant to be - a small budget, arty effort. What's worse, the plot and film making is supposedly inspired from other films of the world!

Can be missed.
