YOU HIT THE BULL'S EYE > Holi song is more a failure of Javed Akhtar than of anyone > else. Every word and figures of speech used in this song are > ages old. LYRICS WERE MEANT TO BE "AGES OLD". AROUND 150 YEARS OLD, TO BE APPROXIMATE AT THE LEAST. I haven't seen the film, but I think you meant that the Song lyrics should have been in sync with the language that the characters speak. If that had not been the case with this song, then you may be 150% right..! Or, as in your "historic" string of arguements around a month back, the lyrics were too much "periody" compared to the "non-period" music and so, they didnt mangal...oh sorry- mingle well giving the critics something to "mangle" with... > There could be psychological reasons also. Normally people > expect to see a serious, all-business type of personality > for a larger than life hero like Mangal Pandey. Hence they > could not digest him enjoying small pleasures like playing > with colours in the comapny of gorgeous girls, all painted > whimsically. YES! I DID EXPECT SUCH A THING BEFORE THE D-DAY (12TH). BUT NOW AFTER READING THE REVIEWS, I AM A BIT CONCERNED. I HOPE THE ENGLISH VERSION IS PROPERLY SCISSORED. Whatever is the case, I will make it someday to the theatres to witness the fictional history. Thanks for reading. Chandra. ------------------------ Yahoo!
