One would be very confident in a film which stars Bollywood’s king of romance Shah Rukh Khan. One’s confidence would boom when the film is scheduled to be helmed by Imtiaz Ali. One would also be very wrong. The film has its moments, with K.U. Monahan capturing lovely European visuals and Pritam’s solid soundtrack. But a film without a concrete plot...
Reboots of films are often commercially protected, but are an artistic gamble. This Kartik Aryan – Sara Ali Khan film and Imtiaz’s most recent, failed to hit the mark the director has set up with previous works. The central performances were unidimensional, almost saved by the appearances of Randeep Hooda and Arushi Sharma. In an attempt to peel ba...
This was Imtiaz Ali’s first film. For a debut, it is a very earnest attempt. Proving that Imtiaz’s fascination has always lied in the realm of self-realizations and dealing with the complexities of love gives a great insight into the filmmaker’s mind. He is persistently pursuing his best rendition of love in the modern era. While this film isn’t it...
Imtiaz Ali clearly takes into account the real-life relationship between actors before casting them as his protagonists in his love-quests. It is impressive that the director jumped from Socha Na Tha to this blockbuster in a span of two years. Pairing the bubbliest Geet (Kareena Kapoor Khan) alongside the sombre and introspective Shahid Kapoor (Adi...
On a personal note, I have had many issues with Rockstar over the years of revisiting it. Ideas propagated such as artists must suffer for their art and the occasionally heavy dialogue haven’t aged particularly well. But I remember being completely overwhelmed on an emotional level when I first saw the film. The film’s passion points to the fact th...
This is the first film that Imtiaz produced, along with writing and directing it. Highway earned massive critical praise, and rightfully so. Taking his obsession with travel in a more domestic direction, and with a much-needed tweak to his rich-kids-meet-abroad template, the filmmaker plays out the story of Veera (a fantastic Alia Bhatt) and Mahabi...
The position of this film on the list is surely debatable. But let’s get something which is not up for debate, out of the way. Agar Tum Saath Hois the most gut-wrenching song-narrative sequence in Bollywood. Alka Yagnik and Arijit Singh knock it out of the park in a song which shapeshifts from uplifting to intensely romantic to horrifying before yo...
Aug 1, 2017 · One can argue that Highway (watch it here) was a most un-Imtiaz movie – a low-budget "creative" lull between his storms of dichotomous coming-of-age extravaganzas, like returning to theatre to reignite the fire of filmmaking. But if you look closely, it's all there.
Highway because the soundtrack and the progression of Mahabir throughout the movie, in a way Imitiaz did a pretty good job portraying PTSD within him. Alia’s character was good(and for me it was the movie where i started liking her as an actress) also with the portrayal of mental health and a contrast to Mahabir’s character.
Feb 22, 2024 · On Highway’s U/A certificate Highway was a film with dacoits, but Imtiaz didn’t want it to be A-rated. He says, “I could have made this film with vulgar dialogues and gruesome shots.
They are at their vulnerable, rugged best. Plus, if you are in the mood to see India in its raw, unpolished state, Highway can be an exhilarating ride." Critic Zachary Wigon for The Village Voice commented, "Imtiaz Ali's Highway is nothing if not erratic in its narrative delivery — though its fascinating thematic concern remains fixed ...
