Dil Se..re re rewatchin .. (sha sha sharukhs only good one)

I love the photography in this movie.Lighting so subtle, smooth shadows,beautiful faces just barely illuminated to show their outlines.May be the photographer meant it in an art movie kinda way or something i donno.It made the movie look more beautiful than it might have been,had it been shot by some bollywood karan jo photographer.
What is worth watching is how the photography slowly keeps you more and more hooked to the movie.The way it portrays the beauty of the scenery around,the subtle dialogues all the more complementing the careful picturization of very delicate , silent scenes.If you really do watch this movie , and especiall if more than once , you will observe that it is the silent and subtle scenes between manisha and shah-rukh that keeps the spirit of the movie alive.The credit definitely goes to Santosh Sivan for that.And obviously hats off to Maniratnam too.


I do not indend to turn this into a draggin movie review.Just thought that i might share what i exactly like about this movie.On its 20th or so re run.Watch it if you havent already.
If you are a fan of photography /anything visual , do tell me if this felt like shit to you.

Will just leave you with some stuff that i liked.

Awesome scenes with very little lighting include:
--- The scene where Manisha meets Shah-rukh in the AIR studio.Only the viewing hole forms the single source of illumination.
---- Shah-Rukh in the AIR studio again, illuminated by a single table lamp , in the Aye ajnabi song.Awesome.

Fact :: People look a lot younger with lesser lighting..... :) .Preity looks 15... :P

Shitty Scenes ::
The stunts in the movie somehow, i felt brought out the monotony of the camera work.Very little of what existed though.Scary !
