Absolutely the worst movie.
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
This is so awesome, my grandchildren loved it, anyone young or old should enjoy this movie, the vibrant color, the music , costumes, and the wonderful fantasy. It is also a great love story filled with wonderful love, that Sharuke Kahn is skilled at. Disney has nothing over on the magic of this movie! I hope Bollywood will make more movies using Indian folklore, it's wonderful way to introduce children to India. I'm a huge fan of Sharuke Kahn, he makes great movies all with wonderful messages of unconditional love ,family and wonderful passion that is acceptable for anyone to watch!! I own "Veer-Zaara" and "Swades" both great movies and I will soon own this wonderful movie.
I recently saw this movie and thoroughly enjoyed it.When I saw the movie I thought that this movie was like an eye candy. So visually beautiful still real. This is a very simple movie based on a folktale. I loved the beautiful costumes, lovely songs. Credit goes to Amol Palekar for taking a very simple story and making it look so beautiful. I couldn't help but notice that Amol does know Rajasthan. Peacock's sound in the background when Rani and Sharukh wake up in the morning and the other attention to details made it so real. Rani did a very good job. It would have been good if Shahrukh could act too but lets not ask for impossible. Lets skip the camel race scene altogether. Unfortunately SRK can't be subtle.A word of warning for Hindi movie fans that this is not a regular commercial Hindi movie. If you liked Ankur, Avishkar(Rajesh Khanna), you will enjoy this movie. If Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, K3G is your kind of movies then stay away from this.
Paheli is a rare film.Its beautifully mounted and photographed with amazing backgrounds and costumes - totally suited to the traditional tale. For me it re-created my sub continental childhood when we were brought up on stories of princesses and Djinns in fantasy palaces-romantic and emotionally satisfying. Some people have criticised the film as being too slow and incredible. Of course it is incredible because it is a fairy tale. But once the imaginative leap has been made and its premise accepted, the film is pure delight.Shah Rukh Khan in his double role as the accountant to the core husband and the romantic spirit, is charismatic and romantic and riveting. Rani is the perfect beautiful bride, fully integrated into the world in which she lives so much so that she is completely thrown when the surrogate husband gives her the choice of keeping or rejecting him. So its a woman's rights film as well! But I just loved it on its own terms- a beautifully performed, beautifully produced, unusual film for our delectation.
I just saw Paheli yesterday and I loved it. I was a little worried when I read what it was about, but I think that it was handled really well, at least for Bollywood. It is half typical Bollywood and half something else. The final dance sequence is the cutest thing ever and all of the music is great! Seeing Shahrukh with the mustache was just something that I couldn't get used to, but he was adorable anyway. The ending is not typical Bollywood at all and I am not sure that I liked it. The special effects are very typical of Bollywood but they don't really affect the movie very much and they are relatively short so I didn't mind them. I guess that Bollywood is just not used to having shorter films because there were a couple spots that needed more character development. Overall I rate it very high, definitely worth the $10 to go see it.
