Tamasha

SPOILER FREE Review :)

Tamasha is indeed an invigorated tale in today's times of fatuous films! It is clichéd, yes... It is flawed, yes... its story is nothing new, but the way Imtiaz presents the story in the form of musical narrative, and the manner in which lead protagonists, Ranbir and Deepika mark that presence is truly commendable.

Tamasha is all about the journey of Ved (portrayed by Ranbir Kapoor) and Tara (portrayed by Deepika Padukone) through self-discovery, love, passion, contend and vivacious emotions. Its screenplay is non- linear, mind you, which might make some uncomfortable for a love story, but Tamasha is not only about romance, if you're wondering.

Film's technical aspect is class apart. Ravi Verman's stunning cinematography deserves a standing ovation. Editing is arguably good, but its not for everyone's mouthful. Ranbir and Deepika's performance is one of the biggest strengths of this film. Their chemistry is wonderfully captured and presented in a grand celluloid!

Another highlight of this movie is its music. A.R. Rahman delivers a grand soundtrack once again, and Imtiaz weaves those songs in a perfect manner carrying the story forward. Is Imtiaz-Rahman combo slowly becoming Mani Ratnam-Rahman combo?

Tamasha is not an easy grasp, at least not for everyone. The film will have mixed opinions, that's for sure. But if you find the connection that Imtiaz tries you to find through Ved's character (or to some extent Tara's character), you are in for a treat.

Watch out for: Ranbir and Deepika's Chemistry, Imtiaz's direction, Songs and Score, Cinematography

I was damn excited for a movie with the deadly combo of Imtiaz Ali and Ranbir Kapoor including AR Rahman (cherry on top). I loved Rockstar, it was among one of my favorites in 2011. Which automatically made Tamasha my most anticipated movie of 2015 and damn was I spot on.

Tamasha is a visual treat, a movie with a PURE soul attached to it. There was a constant smile stuck on my face throughout its 139 min of runtime. Ranbir Kapoor's performance literally gave me awe-bumps (you know like goosebumps). Dayum, he's an excellent actor cum artist. Deepika was magnificent. And the songs, man. Each and everyone of it is bound to snug around your ears throughout the year.

Now let me get this straight, those who criticize this masterpiece are the same audience who disliked Rockstar, not because it was bad or something, it's just that they don't get it. They do not understand these kinda films. It's a piece of art. And I don't blame my fellow Indian audience to not to get along with these musical dramas, 'cuz they're way more inclined to commercial movies and the basic recipe of Bollywood masala crap. It's their comfort zone, and these movies make them uncomfortable.

Well, I'm shocked seeing negative remarks or even mixed reviews on such an extravagant cinema. But well, worry not 'cuz Imtiaz Ali's works are always slow burners and within a week or so Tamasha will begin. ;)

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

Awesome true love story..I saw myself in many of the scenes ..the way Imtiaz has asked everyone to discover themselves in life was simply superb..at many instants in the movie I just wanted to stand and clap so loud and whistle to express how hard I loved that scene ..the locations were awesome and the screenplay also was quite different from routine movies ..there's a scene at last where Ranbir sits and narrates a story with his family , and at that scene I simply fell in love with the movie ..Deepika, my favorite, has once again rocked with her performance...finally Ranbir and Deepika stole the screen with their superb acting , Imtiazali has stolen my vision of love and has shown how my future should be...Tamasha on the whole has Stolen My Heart

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.
