goosebumps!

yes yes yes, when I told my mum that i was looking for Hindi films to buy (whether ciplak or not la...) she was like " why would you want to buy Hindi films? Didn't you have a lot of other things to watch already? (I know she meant my HK dramas, english series/ movies and most of all, my Jpnese dramas lol)

But see, it's been years, I just found out that the last Hindi movie I've seen was that Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham which was 7 years ago. It's not 3, it's not 5, but SEVEN! It then occured to me how friggin young I was back then! Those were the times where they still show Bollywood stuffs on national TV, ok. Nowadays, I think it's very rare already...wherever you go, you see Korean (even now that phase is almost fading away though) or those local/Singaporean dramas. Even my mum was kinda into them now. Not that I have anything to complain about Sgporean series though, but I just seldom watch it, unless they're really really good.



Oh back to the tpoic in hand, I chose Goosebumps as title this time coz I spent 3 hours watching this movie, Fanaa last midnight, literally having goosebumps. I mentioned this movie before in my blog, ages ago, and I told myself I shall watch it when it comes out. Somehow, with all my other activities in uni and life, I'd forgotten about it!

So, yesterday I went to Speedy and got this movie. Well, I didn't expect to find it on the shelves but it was so right there, and I grabbed it.It's not DVD though,only VCD version but still...

So i watched it till 3+ am this morning. You know la, most Hindi movies are like 3-4 hrs long with all the singing in the middle of the field, even desert! But this movie's soundtrack is fab.

Story tells of a simple, blind Indian girl (i think) well they have Pakistan, Kashmir and India in the movie, so i might confuse myself as to their nationality, but yeah, Indian la. The guy was Kashimiri. So she went to New Delhi with this dance group (they were to perform at some independence day function) and there, she met this hot, flirtish handsome guy who was their tourist guide. Rehan.

Being blind, and having most of her entire life spent in the mountains with her parents, no doubt she'd be awed and fascinated by this guy. And Rehan also had his eyes on her but since his *jumping from one girl to another girl* story was well known, her friends were against her relationship with him. This didn't stop Rehan though.




He took her around Delhi for sightseeing (despite her being blind) he found a way for her to feel the real colours of Delhi. But it was evident by his expressions that he had a dark secret which will be revealed later in the movie. So this is where I end the summary. I can't help but be amazed by the way Yash Chopra (director) filmed this movie. The way he captured the city, the facial expressions of the characters, the colours of India and etc...breathtaking. even if it's a simple shot, but he made every scene worth watching.

And like seriously, I get goosebumps whenever I see Rehan and Zooni (the blind girl) interacts! Sparkling chemistry lol...this is their first time as on-screen couple (Aamir Khan and Kajol) and I was kinda doubtful that they can project their emotions like how SRK can. But oh I was wrong. They were awesome in there. Aamir with his bloodshot eyes (he's great in crying scenes too).



And I got the most goosebumps where they had this sweet scene where Rehan was like setting up the small tiny table to have a nice quiet dinner with her when the rain started falling. (it was funny) but then it turned totally like " wow" when they were umm....ya know in the rain. Well, they can sing and dance all they want anywhere, practically and still make it look hot. But this particular scene is great, gives me goosebumps, i can literally feel my hair standing up! ^^

The songs were great, and really matches with their scenes and the scenery, beautiful. And can I say how much I liked that little kid who plays Junior Rehan, he's so damn cute. I don't always like kids, but I like kids who are obedient so, there.

The ending was...T_T haha...i kinda saw it coming but like ah...Since the title is Fanaa which basically means something like " destroyed in love". Tragic xD

I don't usually get to feel for the characters especially when it comes to romance (I'm more into other stuffs) and with the way the Hollywoods are making their romantic films (most) I just failed to feel the chemistry. But this movie made me have goosebumps! So, another good movie. And spending that 20 bucks on it was worth every CENT! lol

I am now waiting for My Name Is Khan. Yay!
