Eine schicksalhafte Begegnung

Since I watched the movie Meet Joe Black with Pitt & Hopkins three years ago I enjoyed the story already. However this theme is not an easy one to play out considering, the supernatural and concept of 'angel of death'. Mere mortals acting this out could constitute a mocking of ideas some sincerely believe in. Even though Shukriya is no doubt broadly based on the same story lines as JoeBlack, it has however done more justice to the theme. This being simply because the theme is less alien to Indians' audience and the entire concept of angel of death is typically Asian. Take for example Oppenheimer's famous quote when he invented and detonated his famous A-bomb, which he himself claims to have taken from the Gita, relating to the personification of death. Where J.Black more closely resembles sci-fi, Shukria articulates it more spiritually refined. The idea was always an interesting one, but Anupam Sinha seems to do greater justice to the theme than Martin Brest. A western viewer however would do without the lengthy music video's scattered throughout Shukriya, which get tedious especially because of the deep language but summary translation. I however enjoyed the Indian version more, which not only combines life and after-life better, but also east and west and a number of other great equations.

I love this movie, Shukriya 2004. I have the DVD and purchased movie on YouTube. I must have watched it at least 20 times. What captures me most is the love story between Rikky and Sanam. It is nothing like other movies. In this film,The romantic songs are exquisite, and the filming is incredible. My favorite is maine pucha kudrat se.

I could skip all the goofy stuff after a few watches of the entire movie, and in my repeated watchings I do...fast forward or move to different chapters.

If you have not seen it, treat your self. While it did not go so well in country, Maybe it will like on youtube and tv. Thanks to all who made shukriya special.

If really see something..amzing Then go and watch Meet joe black it's...very peace full.. And best acting...of the Anthony Hopkins Must watch..film long movie but...once you start and see 30 min after length is nothing matter.
