अब कहाँ रस्म घर लुटाने की !

Now I am thinking that why I have loved this film so much?? there is nothing special about the movie.Your average actors...hero...heroines. Thousand time done it -type story...boy loves girl since childhood.When they grow up they meet and after a brief physical encounter he suspects her..that she is a slut..a whore etc. But after taking litres of Vodka when he realizes that she is the girl for him it becomes too late! uhhh..wats new there??
When I have read Devdas of Sharatchandra in my school days then ...I still remember that I have almost shed tears at the end of the story-'There should be someone near you at the time of death to shed few drops of tears!' How pathetic that end was and my heart was full of grief!sorrow!pain! but I could't identify myself with Devdas ! Its reverse in the case of Dev-D. I can identify easily--oh! Its not Abhay Deol ..its me! with secret desire to self destruction. Indeed this movie Dev-D has captured the contemporary idiom successfully!

The other film which has overwhelmed me 2-3 years ago was "Gangster". Usually I purchase CDs of classics only but I made Gangster an exception.It is having pride of place with the classics of Gurudatt in my CD album! Two things are common in both the movies-Liquor and self destructive mode of protagonist! Why there is so much lure of both the things? We know that it is not right for us even then we go to fetch the Bottle! Coke with Vodka! May be broken heart with liquor makes a deadly combination which not only loosers but your so-called winners also like-coz we all are loosers in one way or another! no matter how much success we got or how much money we collected or whether somebody dumped us or we have collected a trophy wife!Ultimately all the paths leads towards grave! Ending the blog in the words of Faiz-
अब कहाँ रस्म घर लुटाने की
बर्कतें थी शराबख़ाने की !
कौन है जिससे गुफ़्तुगु कीजे
जान देने की दिल लगाने की !
बात छेड़ी तो उठ गई महफ़िल
उनसे जो बात थी बताने की !
साज़ उठाया तो थम गया ग़म-ए-दिल
रह गई आरज़ू सुनाने की !
चाँद फिर आज भी नहीं निकला
कितनी हसरत थी उनके आने की !
