Mela

Gee whiz! So many people I've spoken with are so hard on this movie! I saw this movie and really enjoyed it. Of course, Aamir Khan was great and he did carry a lot of the movie, but every movie I've seen with him he tends to outshine everyone else.

Am I so alone? Was there ANYONE else out there that enjoyed this film? I really thought Faisal was a good fit for the character he played. Clue me in - why is everyone so harsh on this film? Is it because they can't see past Sholay?

I would like to see more movies in this style; of course, there are so many Bollywood movies I might die before I am about to see 1/5 of them, but I always remember to turn off my brain and try to see the film as the directors meant it to be seen; and not to make comparisons. If we tried to compare every actor to Aamir, they'd all be found wanting.

All the Best to everyone; and chin up, Faisal! Someone out here thinks you are a success at what you do. I loved Shankar.

Aamir is very choosy of his films but sometimes he too has done mistakes Dharmesh Darshan's MELA was one of his mistakes which also starred him with his brother Faizal Khan

The film is a remake of THE SEVEN SAMURAI and also CARAVAN but the film also suffers from the SHOLAY hangover

The characters of Aamir- Faizal and the villain Tinnu Anand(his name in the film being Gujjar) suffer from SHOLAY hang over

The film however is boring and the comedy between Aamir- Faizal is irritating and too loud and the pee joke copied from DUMB AND DUMBER and earlier shown in HERO HINDUSTANI(98) is badly handled

The villain's track too is clichéd and so is the entire bhasti set up plus the misunderstanding between Aamir and Twinkle and the entire climax

The climax is stretched endlessly

Direction by Dharmesh Darshan is weak, Music is okay, DHADKAN MAIN TUM is the best

Amongst actors Aamir tries hard to play a Dharam type role of SHOLAY but is too loud here though he does well in many scenes He isn't at his best Faizal Khan given the serious role is too stiff mostly but okay in some portions Tinnu Anand is very good as Gujjar Twinkle Khanna however is painful, her dubbing by someone else is too bad and shreiky and that worsens her act This role was offered to Karisma but Dharmesh felt that Twinkle will suit it better and that was a bad part though even Karisma would be intolerable with her crying Amongst rest Johny irritates, Tiku Talsania and the rest gang of Raja Hindustani(Navneet Nishan.etc) are boring Ayub Khan dies soon thankfully

Mela is an action film revolving around a woman who wants revenge against a robber for destroying her life. A simple story but narrated from rural Ego. It glorifies the Unprogressiveness of a certain sections of society which ages very badly. Dharmesh Darshan didn't foresaw the calculation of that. Mela in short is a tale of revenge, bloodshed and eroticism between them.

Firstly, the audio, the BGM were so loud that you will feel the heat of the mood. Every frame has that high tonal attitude, which goes like that upto the end. The characters are too same. Amir is passion driven, lacks the steadfastness and emotional fool. A very bad choice for a protagony. His friend is good though, feels like a hard man but he is a supporting cast only. Twinkle face reflects purely the capitalist attiude, who wears revealing dress of a village damsel, with fiery eyes and soft emotions. Such an odd combination is this. The film in summary is a total combo package of emotional outbursts that display passion for revenge, bloodshed and wild desires.

Ofcourse, sexuality is seen lowly in the film but the actresses strategies and her very appearance will confuse you. After a lot of emotional drama and this-that, all the good guys kills the bad guys in worst possible manner. You will laugh yourself out if you think logically "In which country are they from ? Or where are the Police and civilized people ?" The energy you get from it is fire burning somewhere and DD explicitly attempted to portray that in screen. It's your choice if you want to see it but by rating it will be a 22 on a scale of 100.

This is wonderful whole movie is full of action comedy this movie didn't bore u starting to end beautiful movie

Don't listen to any of the crap about this movie. It's much better than the overrated movies of its era e.g Dil to Pagal hai etc.... I have watched it a few times myself. A full entertainer....
