Aisha

Just a few days after watching a movie as heavy as "The Sum of all fears" based on a fictional incidence related to US-Russia ties and nuclear war- I watched Aisha.A chic movie as its name.

Now,I was really disappointed when the movie couldn't do much business at box office and received avg. to bad reviews.Despite of that,I was really interested in watching this movie for the obvious reasion - its a "Girls'" movie!
Anyways,I got a DVD arranged finally and sat down to watch it.And as a girl,I didn't find anything unlikable about the movie, nor something that it should get bad reviews.I thoroughly enjoyed the movie .The movie portrays perfectly what it wants to portray - Delhi's upper class and Emma.The costumes are just amazing and here everyone would corroborate this fact.The girls put their act together too very nicely.There wasn't much scope for brilliant acting, but in her role,Sonam did full justice to Aisha - and acted well.That reminds me of Deepika who always pastes a smile on her face in most of the dialogues delivery like she is on stage-modelling.That makes her dialogue delivery flat.But Aisha's disposition is cute,lovable,frothy ,and she carries  a laughter full of life.
Another thing I like is - the regular bitchiness of upper class has been sidelined and even if its there - they have been carried and delivered by Sonam in such a way that no matter how bitchy she might get - you would still adore her.Well,isn't that Emma?

Guys and girls in the movie looked great and Amrita puri as Shefali is refreshing.The sets ,locations are identifiable- yet look great.Aisha's life is exactly how a upper class chic's life you ,me and even upper class girls would picture in their mind.

The thing I think was missing in movie which made it a downplay was its lack of humour.Now,girls would love this movie anyways.But why would guys go and watch a movie like Aisha- they would go expecting the humour and 3 hours full of light refreshing moments- since obviously it will fall in romantic comedy basket.There isn't a problem with a female -centred romantic comedy since acts and dialogues have been great.But then you need a dash of humour ,light moments,giggles and laughters to keep you hooked to the movie.That makes up for no story or bad story (since we consider it to be a "story" in bollywood only when its quite gripping and seriously well crafted).In romantic comedy - romance and comedy are what we are looking for.A little more justice required for both of them in Aisha.

But I love Aisha,its costumes,music,Delhi and the one whom I watched this movie with :)
