Hehe :P,
Again no brownie points for looking at the title
and saying, OMG, this is about Tara Rum Pum :D. Sooo, as it happened, on Maharastra day cum labor day and a BCG Holiday :P, I went watching Tara Rum Pum wid my grrlfrnd :-)), or so I would wish. After a long train ride from Churchgate to Lower Parel (where for a split second I cursed the ticket guy who gave me a ticket to Elphinstone road, which later turned out to be the maxx distance I could go to with the fare I paid *which means the ticket guy was wonderful*, but you know, with geographically challenged peepz like me, you need to reawwwllly keep things mighty simple !) and then from LP to Andheri, I went to Fame Adlabs to watch TRP (ohh god, even the title reeks of publicity !) and now under immense pressure to blog about it (some people, u knww !!), letz the go.
TRP is Sid Anand's second outing post Salaam Namaste, and his style is all ovehh the place, lush styling, lusher cinemascapes, great cast, okay story, kool performances but thin chemistry and thinner soul, that's what SN lacked and now the same fate has been handed down to its successor. TRP is essentially a family drama portraying RV's, a NASCAR prodigy, journey from nidar to peak, then to hell and back. Saif looks riveting (no :P ?) in his turn as a fast-tracker while Rani is her usual, bouncy beautiful self, but what the movie lacks, is a soul. You never feel like connected and gripped, its like looking at a beautiful proscenium three lenses removed. Yeah, agreed there is good Adrenalin rush in the racing sequences and you feel-good after you-know-who-takes-the-cherry, but that's about it. It doesn't lift you like a Remember the Titans or Miracle, you have better things to talk about as soon as you leave the theatre types. Also, there are subtle messages for spendthrifts like me :P, but as it happens, we are incorrigible and wouldn't be worthy of the spendthrift genre if we would get the messages (Ghost of legs not hears to talks :P). And yesshh, Sid Anand repeats Javed Jaffrey in an osshum Gujju avtar, which is hilarious to the core !
So, in a nut-bolt :P, TRP is plain Timepass, watch it if you are a Bolly-lover, but if you missh it, donn worry, none is gonna do a PSPO on you for this one :-).
And you, yesh you, watch out !
