Re: [arr] So far, disappointed by the converging criticisms of JA
Chord, relax man!! Almost 70% of reviews I've read here are positive!! 90% of reviewers have praised ARR's score!! No movie can achieve 100% positive reviews... even masterpiece like RDB had some bad reviews... so don't worry too much...

I just wish Ashu could have learned his lesson from Swades to make the plot a bit more tight and concise based on what I am hearing from others. I really want the film to succeed and become a blockbuster for everyone's sake involved in the film, but esp. for Rahman. I want people beyond his fans to recognize and love the brilliance of this soundtrack. Recent Activity 66 New Members 3 New Files Visit Your Group Ads on Yahoo! Learn more now.

Re: [arr] So far, disappointed by the converging criticisms of JA
Dude ! these reviews are not going to make the public, prevent from watching the movie. That is always an untold truth as ARR fans we forgot, whatever kind of reviews been written, people everywhere are much enthused to see the movie for the actors, for the music, for the classicism handled, for the grandeur of sets costumes and for the director brand of lagaan. Do not bother about these reviews ratings and no one can no write-ups can change the minds of people. Indians everywhere are basically movie-buffs. They prefer to be always entertained through music movies. For this movie the preference will be more in terms of seeing it in theatres than dvds to experience it in real big screens with big sounds. I am sure about everyone, they are going to Enjoy. If it is a social movie, reservations may arise knowing the story. But JA is something different as you cannot assume only by seeing it on big screen you will be knowing what it is. To me JA is sure Box Office Hit. It is sure Rajasthanis will enjoy it in DVDs if not in theatres.
