Brought up in a ‘Desi’ culture, many times our eyes surf ceiling and walls while watching intimate scenes with family and friends. Something similar happened last week when I was watching Kurbaan starring Saif and Kareena. And I misinterpreted "the scene" as one of the stereotype bollywood scene until lately I realized the intensity of the scene after so much hustles all around. I couldn’t stop myself from penning down my thoughts.
Not early, I started appreciating Kareena. I believe she is one of the luckiest one to establish herself professionally, personally and undoubtedly inheritably. She sizzled like never before in her size zero. She stunned us all with her exuberant act in Jab We Met and her die-in-love acts for her beloved in Omkara are one of the brilliant emotions I have seen so far. She is one among very few to have such a successful, handsome and sensible lover Saif in her life. And who can ignore the legacy of her forefathers she owns.
Movie Kurbaan is very much in line with the international caliber. Based on one of the sensitive global theme, excellent piece of art in music and lyrics, no-nonsense cheesy scenes, free-flow cinematography that can be visualized to happen in real life makes the movie stand out.
When all was in place for Kareena, there she goes down with some swearing scenes which could have been edited out of the movie easily. Kareena didn’t want her mom to see the explicit scenes. She cannot ignore the fact that she is still connected to a place like India where limits are defined for decency. If her dreams are to reach the top, she has to work hard and impress with her acting talents. By over exposing, she is just groping in dark for that would only degrade her to the level of Mallika Sherawat or Imran Hashmi who believe in earning quick money and fame. No matter where you are, the “survival of the fittest” always applies. Try to survive where you are. Camels and polar bears survive differently in their respective regions.
