BOMBAY

So finally I have discovered  why Mani Ratnam is indeed a fine director.(though guru was fantastic as well, yuva was almost gud,raavan was just avg)......Bombay is a rare film tht gets almost everything in right place.......starting with direction......which is a thoroughly engaging one and peeks up at the right places.......the emotions are well captured .....the characterisations and relationship building has been handled superbly.....be it father son relationship....be it husband wife relationship....be it father father-in-law relationship....be it the twin brother relationship...all handled superbly....... The depiction of riots ...though a bit stretched .....is wonderfully handled as well.......CINEMATOGRAPHY was top notch......the way it has been handled in the riot scenes is just majestic(special reference to the scene where kabir asks the eunique abt the muslim hindu difference)......with tht kind of a resources ....it was unbelievable......Screenplay was impressive as well......the symbolisms  ....the story build up....... have been written really well......Acting....well tht was excellent as well....not even a single character lagged in any form......everybdy was very much into the character....and was brilliant.....Music was wonderful as well....the film served us with some fine tracks by A.R Rahman.....though some songs could have been deleted from the film......Overall....a very engaging, touching and amasing experience.....a definite MUST WATCH......thumbs up to MANI RATNAM......4 on 5
