I think ‘1942: a Love Story’ was one of the films which started a new style of Movie Titles with side titles; in English particularly. But then there were so many movies which a smaller English tagline which would and should describe a short summary of the film. But very few side titles were apt. ‘Daag….the fire’, ‘K3G….it’s about loving your parents’, ‘Lagaan……Once upon a time in India’ and the likes. But when few months back I got the chance to see the first look of the movie it was only some portion of Saif ali Khan – shirtless with the above mentioned title. And when I saw the movie I realized the side title would have been more apt for the movie Twilight which is the love story of a Vampire. A quick review of the movie is as follows:
The story of the movie is 80% same as that of ‘New York’, ‘Dil se’, ’Fanaa’ and so many terrorist love stories. Bottom line is nothing new.
It has Vivek Oberoi with his usual ‘full of attitude’ and ‘ He is the only actor on earth’ expressioned face.
Saif unfortunately cannot do anything special to leave the impact while Kareena seems to be turning into an anorexic.
The good side of the film is, the Islam issues are very well debated & justified against white American approach toward Muslims. Music is good but overall it is a shear waste of time.
