Any body out there trying to link both the above movies, by some sort, Ooops!, I’m sorry. There is nothing in common to both the movies.
They are ways far apart, right from the Genre, to Cast, storyline and everything. But the reason for relating these two movies is called theory of Non–relativity, which we everyone might have experienced in our life.
Theory of Non–relativity:
“We wait for a specific numbered bus, but we got to see all the other bus no’s, which were needed yesterday for us, Searching for a particular file will result in all the non-sense but those non-sense’s were once sensible and wanted ones and it goes on….”
I got to watch the movie “Yaavarum Nalam” at Sri Nidhi Rathna theatre(22/03/2009) in our Township, Neyveli. (Why not? it can be called as Neyveli’s SATYAM cinemas).
13B:‘YN’ will be one of the few movies, which I watched without reading any reviews and the talks about the movie were up to the mark and beyond expectations.
A bilingual film, based on the plot of suspense and thriller(where the idiot box plays me of the character) were the need of the hour, rather than the run of the mill kind of action and romance films. They got the pulse of the audience to be rightly tested and tasted the success too. I’m not here to comment about the movie and describe it scene by scene, but the money you pay is getting justified and you are entertained. The news that the movie is going to be remade in Hollywood is topping the cake with ice.
Shall we Dance? (Thanks: Zee Studio for the movie and its Sub-titles)A Richard Gere / J. Lo starring, Drama. This will be the movie, to the broken hearts, who are in need of a good light-hearted feeling through some other form, which is not got through his active counter-part.
Jenifer Lopez as Paulina, She is damn good, I have not watched her acting skills (its ridiculous to talk about her dancing prowess), the way she gets into the skin of Dance School instructor (actually an assistant to the School), is natural.
The storyline is neat and simple. Richard Gere, a married man, thinks he is in loss of something, which he could not figure out, he founds it to be happiness, he thinks he might gain it by joining the Ballroom dance school, which he finds daily through the window of the train he travels, while returning from the office. But he misinterprets J.Lo to be the instructor and he could learn from her.
But when he, joins the school, there waits an elderly women, who turns out to be the instructor and things turn head over heels.
But, later during the course, J.Lo also turns out to teach dance. Meanwhile, Gere’s wife gets doubt over his late night arrival and goes in help of a private detective to find out reason for actual delay, those Straight detectives, confirms his wife that he has a illegitimate relation with J.Lo (Actually he doesn’t have that thinking at all, and all he wants is to learn dance and which he is ashamed of telling to his wife)
I enjoyed the scene, when Gere asks J.Lo “I haven’t eat, If you also have not ate, Shall we go to the restaurant” pat comes the reply, “Are u looking for a date? If it is so, and you are not here for dancing, then just wipe it off and don’t be here again with that thought”
Later during the end of the movie, when Gere is getting readied for the yearly dance competition, J.Lo responds as “I thought you might not turn around from the next day, when I said so?” It really meant me a lot while watching the movie.
Also, finally, he explains everything to his wife and they are all once again a happy family. They way I have described the movie might or might not be the same which I have in my mind. But, it’s touching and will touch everybody’s mind. Do watch it whenever possible.
I have not written lot about 13B, but quite a lot about “Shall we dance?”. SWD is close to my heart and it is like a breeze, which you can feel along the river side.
Gen X Y Z #%*()%)_I was watching this movie, and my mother was sitting along side of me, I used to laugh my selves, and was enjoying the movie, though my mother does not understand the language completely, I still had a small urge inside me, when there were some of the scenes, when J Lo and other casts where a bit too exposing (which is quite natural for their audience and crossing the life for us).
Finally my mom said this to me “ It’s quite a difficult dance. Isn’t it? And it is this perfectionism, which we lag?" Huuuh. I was shouting inside me…. “Not alone me, my mom too have become Gen X Y Z #%*()%)_.
