Tamasha

When I went Horse ridding for the first time, the next day there was a lot of pain in parts of my body that I didn't even know existed.I had a similar feeling last night after watching Tamasha. Imtiaz Ali to me is a director who gave us Jab We Met and many good movies, but I don't watch movies for the directors as geniuses have a tendency of losing it. But Ali seems to have matured like a bottle of Vintage wine.I couldn't help but noticed that people had mixed feeling of the movie, well sometimes you don't have to understand something a 100% just to see and know how beautiful it is, Tamasha is without a doubt beautiful. I cannot tell you more about the movie without revealing spoilers, so I won't. But what I can tell you is that this movie is shot in the most exquisite locations and done with fantastic camera work and direction. The background score is good. Ranbir leaves his performance in Barfi a mile behind with his acting in Tamasha. He makes you smile, laugh, angry and also embarrasses you when you shed a tear in front of your spouse. Deepika makes it seem so natural and you don't for one second think that she's acting, that is how good she is. The chemistry is like what I haven't seen before. Tamasha is not a Love Story, it's a story about Love. This movie made me stay back in my seat for a minute after the credits rolled out. All I'm saying is that this Movie makes you think in ways you might have never thought before, which is a good thing once in a while.

Tamasha (2015) Directed by Imtiaz Ali Starring Ranbir Kapoor & Deepika Padukone is a blend of emotions and laughter.

The movie is not an everyone's cup of tea. It's a blend of emotions (joy, sad, laughter etc). It builds up gradually and by the end you will fell in love with Imtiaz with this mind blowing piece of cinema but beware if you are looking for a masala entertainer with item songs, flying cars, action scenes, better stay away from this flick. You will seriously get bored in some parts of the movie but that is what the story demands. People will curse this movie and tag it as one of the worst movie of Imtiaz but I will just say that this is an Add-on in the list.

Ranbir Kapoor is brilliant in his act. He has enjoyed each & every scene of this movie. It's the magic of Imtiaz only that Ranbir can perform so well.Hats off to him for this remarkable performance. Deepika didn't get much to do but we can felt the charm of her on her screen presence.

Fifty percent shares to make this film brilliant goes to Ranbir & Imtiaz and another fifty percent goes to AR Rahman for his blazing music in the film. Every song is special in this movie ('Chali Kahani' is my personal favourite).

The one thing I liked the most in Imtiaz movies is the screenplay. The transition in every scene is phenomenal.

Go for it if you are really bored with clichéd bollywood movies and want to see an intense yet entertaining cinema.

3.5/5 or 7/10

Superb direction, superb movie, superb acting and yes Imtiaz Ali did it again. Not a Romeo Juliet movie like love, separating and then happy ending. It is different from routine love stories. A powerful message of an ordinary human with a powerful expression of unorthodox. Coming to cinematography beautiful scenic locations with awesome camera work.Literally an unconventional experiment to be watched for its writing & making !!! Second half goes for Ranbir and Deepika is cute as always.

At last these types of movies regain faith about Bollywood. We can also do it Hats off >>>>>> Amazed

My Rating : 8/10

This is rather experimental for a Bollywood rom-com and I found it to be very enjoyable. The second half is on another level for a movie from this genre.

Some very good cinematography, brilliantly edited, the songs are well-placed and fun, the acting is awesome, all in all : a REALLY good Bollywood rom-com is what you have here.

Highly Recommended.

Indian audiences are so used to being force-fed crap that they fail to digest quality cinema. I expected a lot from Tamasha since the first trailer aired and was disappointed by the generic reviews i kept hearing from one and all. After much courage, i decided to watch the movie almost a month after its release and was kicking myself for letting grapevine influence my decision to delay the movie.

RK and DP have taken love stories to the next level with Tamasha. Imtiaz has outdone himself from a directorial standpoint as you will notice hints of Anurag Kashyap, Vishal Bhardwaj and even Fight Club in the second half. To be honest, i was never a big fan of DP but after Tamasha i cant ignore her acting prowess. What a stellar supporting cast. Piyush Mishra swishes his magic with whatever screen time he gets and inks his name on some of the most intense scenes in the movie. Tamasha has to be one of Bollywood's most intelligent and intelligently made movies. You can sense Imtiaz's love for street plays in the movie along with some of his own inhibitions being mirrored through RK's performance. RK is undoubtedly the best Bollywood actor at this point. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. He is not only better than any of the Khans (who have undeservedly ruled Indian cinema) but brings a sense of theater acting while carrying a money making face. With Tamasha RK is definitely back!

The beauty of the songs not only lies in the music and the lyrical quality but also in the timely placement.

Please watch this movie for a lovely cinematic relief..
