TAMASHA (2015)

''Tu koi aur hai, jaanta hai tu, saamne is jahan ke, ek naqab hai'' If this was the only statement you had to present in a form of a reel length feature film, what could be the best possible portrayal of it, is the film Tamaasha. Ali chooses his own way of expressing the theme, and he pulls you into the world that you already are living in, the frustrated you with your mundane life, strikes the chord with the character and his every note of performance goes in accordance of your mundane life and you now distinctly see the connection built between you and the director's idea behind the film. Next he strips layer by layer of the smeared frustration, and we envision the solemn problem.


I also learnt from the fellow moviegoers that the story line is a cliche, and i wonder what did they want to prove by the term cliche used here. Yes, the story line is nothing new, because in real life nothing new really happens everyday. The mirage that we create and fail to fathom, is the achievement that we bag and boast about it daily. Dramatically how we divide the life into two sections, childhood and adulthood and make sure the actions also in each stage should contradict the teachings that we have learnt. All those goody and fairy tales that you're preached in your childhood suddenly turn hostile when you enter Adulthood, and you find the complete new ABSURD generation sugarcoated with the layer of another ABSURDNESS and lead the life complaining. If the most absurd person is considered as Successful person, then we really need to stop the false preaching in the childhood. This is the total story that is enveloped in a beautiful package of fabulous scenic locations, and mind soothing songs. Rehman plays the perfect score to create the exact vibe that sets you in the appropriate mood.


Ranbir & Deepika together play the mundane tale in an extraordinary way that fulfills the character in total and are easy to connect with. The tit bits of the movie reminds us of Ali's previous films, which don't look clumsy. Also the love story part does not dominate the story, instead it acts the light that leads to the brightness, and has been meticulously placed into the movie. In a nutshell, Ali tailor cuts the total mundane frustrated routine and its intact outcomes of a mediocre person, who hides his true identity and is bundled up in a life full of pestering activities and the life where he certainly does not belong. Get lost in the abeyance, envision Ali's story & figure out the complexity in yourself.




Final Word


Ali once again masters the film, every bit of the film reminds you that its Imtiaz's movie and he precedents the society's most celebrated problem. When you watch it, don't judge it, instead judge yourself and let the magic he brings on the screen, turn your thoughts.
