Re: g_b Honeymoon Travels Vs. Eklavya !
Hi there "abc def" & pals ! Thanks for pointing out my mistake regarding Minisha Lamba's name...totally agree with U "abc def", regarding the picturization of "sajnaa re vaari vaari"..i think its so captivating as the dance moves are so free & without any elaborate choreography (at least it SEEMS those ways)u can just feel the free spirit hit you Bang ! rite on ur face & get taken with it :-) I'm sure in the latest gb parties, that song would be played quite frequently..hey ! I'm listening to it on my MP3 player right now, on a loop !!! ;-) Gee ! I'm such a sucker for dance-able numbers !!! ;-) So, just in case I "grace" any gb party (studies usually don't allow me the time), u guys would be able to easily identify me as the guy who does the wildest & most "free-spirited" dance moves ;-) Njoy Eklavya & everyonehave a FANTABULOUS week ahead of you :-) Cheers, I :-) - Original Message From: abc def <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: gay_bombay@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2007 7:29:33 PM Subject: Re: g_b Honeymoon Travels Vs.

Re: g_b Honeymoon Travels Vs. Eklavya !
Hey dude, First of all thanks for noting & penning down such lovely comments on the films, wellur name sounds so different. Would love to keep a good healthy net frendship with good thinkers & like minded guys. I hope you wont mind. Im Sumer 38yrs, from Mumbai working abroad presently. More to discuss only if you wish to.. Hope to see ur reply. regards, S. icarius_slade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi guys ! I've seen quite a few raging discussions on the depiction of homosexuality in Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. (HTPL) & Eklavya. Well, here are my few pennies of thought on this matter. HTPL : _ I definetly enjoyed the gay angle of HTPL. It was shown very nicely, compared to the trashy or stereotypical way it has been shown earlier in Hindi films. The guys were definetly cute :-) and I must admire the panache with which Vikram Chatwal essayed the role so welli mean, obviously prejudiced by the "playboy" kinda image that has been portratyed of him in the media, i expected some boombastic character (a la Salman Khan) from him in his first movie. But the subtle way in which he portrayed the role was so endearingI just couldn't believe it.When he utters the words, "I am gay" to sanshya Mridul, i got shivers down my spine. I was reminded of how i felt when i came out to few of my str8 (guy & gal) pals...and this was his 1st mainstream hindi film. Hats off to him. The other guy (Amisha Patel's hubby) was also cute, esp. in the scene where he is wearing shorty shorts on the beach & is a total eye candy ;-) However, towards the end, the film meanders inconclusivelywithout any plausible ending, wrt this gay angleand that's something which so isappointed me :-( BTW, Abhay Deol looked SO gay in the filmand so awkward & gawky too. His voice resembled that of a lady and so did his mannerisms. Isha sarvani looked more cute & more boy-ish than he ! So much for a "Superman" But overall, the movie was very good nice timepass :-) EKLAVYA : I could guess that Boman Irani's character is gay, from the very mo he starts reading the sonnet to Sharmila tagore."gaydar" on overdrive ? Maybe ! In fact, i thought that his "lover" was jackie shroff !!! His effeminate mannerisms added fuel to the fire.and the way he eyes 1 of his servants while the latter is cutting his nails, is a total give-away ! Movie has excellent cinematography & picturesque locales...but some VERY corny dialogues. Anyways, these were simply my humble opinions.totally respect what others have to say on the films.
