inspite of the thumbs down given by people - still went out to see this movie. and if u ask my opinion - i liked it!!! (sans the fight-sequence and the fake bengali accent (if u think i'm a punjabi - sorry baby - am a bengali :P) and i get really pissed off when someone talks like that on the screen :D).

 and what did i like about it??!!! well - it's story is better than the run-of-the-mill mushy-mushy luv stories (which i hate btw. till date i havent seen lagaan, gadar, KKHH,... the list is quite huge if u get the drift :D). no1 has appreciated the fact that ratnam actually used the movie to convey to us (yeah - us - the literate youth ) that we r also part of this country and we shudnt shun away our civic  (& political) duties!! and the luv-stories : spicings so that the movie doesnt seem too "bland". the movie wudnt b a hit becoz it doesnt appeal to all the sections of the society (like DCH) - but i guess ratnam made his pt. (and it wasnt very hard to get :D).

ps: ques : if we consider hit hindi movies - most of them revolve arnd love stories. still kissing on the screen hasnt started !! why?? is it becoz it's unacceptable? if yes - then r we the biggest hypocrites in this world?
