Heart stops going ummmmmmmmm

Pulse donot read this post, cause I have dissected Salaam Namaste's story. Don't tell me I didnot warn you.

Watched Salaam Namaste yesterday, its an enjoyable movie, all colourful and lovely. The first part is very funny and thankfully the second part wasn't dragged too much, though Ms.Ambar does shed few tears between screaming at the top of her voice and dancing in the middle of the night on the streets.

Saif is good like always, though his character Nick is referred to as jerk several times in the movie, I wonder why. Is it his fault that Amby changes her decision and he doesn't. Their relationship is based on mutual understanding and wants. Unfortunately she gets pregnant and in the beginning both agree that abortion is the best way out. But then Amby changes her mind about the baby, she wants it and he doesn't and then starts the tirade about how insensitive and unsupportive Nick is. He does the dishes and cleans the house how much more sensitive do you expect a guy to be, who doesn't even want to be in that situation in the first place. Awright from a woman's point of view maybe he is insensitive, but only because he is angry, if Amby can be angry cause he does not understand, then he has a right to be angry too, cause he feels she does not understand. The fact that he is around while most men would run away makes it clear that he is supportive though in a denial mode, but he will come around and he does.

She is against getting an abortion maybe because the baby is in her, its a life thats growing in her and she feels it and is unable to end it. But the case is not the same with him, he cannot feel like her cause he is not able to understand the transformation she is going through.

So it only shows how important it is to get our priorities right before getting into a relationship. Everything in life comes with a price tag, sometimes much higher than we expect. Once we get down to paying, the heart stops going ummmmmmmmmmmmm.

He he he... your take on it is a little different from mine, although we both agree that Amby was acting foolish :)
Tere saath movie dekhne ka yehi mazaa hai... we can argue and debate on a lot of stuff after it :)

wow 2 reviews of salaam namaste in a single day. btw did u watch the movie with seema?
back to the topic - very true bhagya relationship comes at a price tag!!! and wow ur understanding of guys being sensitive is cool!! so what do u think otherwise..are guys sensitive??

Flying Machine said...

@godolphin - yes I watched the movie with Seema. And I think men or women both can be sensitive or insensitive. Senstivity is not just feminine genders prerogative.

why are people so always interested in the end..??

anyway.. so i followed ur words and moved straight from the first line to the comments ka link..!!

movie bhi kuch aise hi reaction layak thi.. didnt find it much interesting.. and must say that a quite "IN" topic has been touched.. maybe they could've chosen india as a backdrop.. live-in's are not so uncommon in india as well..!!

bhagya...is live in uncommon in india?? for sure it is not so in South India, not sure of the North. So does the movie really project the indian life??
hei did u chk my latest post??

@me.. - Yups the movie should have been set in India, it would have made more sense, but since Yash Raj films believes in Parampara and has closed its eyes to the change thats happening in India, they believe we still live in Satyug.

@godolphin - I don't know if living in together without getting married is very common or not, nobody I know closely is in such a relationship, so can't really comment about it.

@bhagya.. @godolphin.. when i say that live-ins being not so uncommon in india.. i meant that it though not on such a large scale that they exist in other parts of the world.., they do exist.. kinda invisible because of the so called "social taboo.." there are couples who are quite comfortable with the idea.. if u want region wise u will find them mostly in b'lore, pune, mumbai.. these are the places im sure of.. elsewhere im not so sure..

anyway, its an issue best ignored unless anyone u know is into it..!! :-)

Arre there is no "issue". I know a girl who is in a live-in relationship, coz apparently "marriage doesn't work" for her.
I mumbai no one is bothered about what goes on in your house, so that gives a lot of people freedom to do what they want.

Seema, I think I might know her too.

Live in relationships are more customer friendly....marriage is more of a contract...Anyway..the customers should know what they are gettin into....

Pulse said...

i havent read Bhag's reveiw and hence cant comment on it....but living-in is definitely in!!!

@Pulse- Its not really a review, I just felt the movie was a lil unfair to the male protagonist, hence just wrote it down.

@me.. - The issue should not matter even if somebody we know is in it.
