Page 3

Finally watched Page 3 in a theater yesterday. The whole theater was nearly empty except for maybe some 50-60 odd people who had come on a Monday night to watch a movie.

(Lesson: Ppl dont go out for movies on Mondays, because the weekend has just passed anyway.
Hypothesis and Extensions: Tuesdays should also be free days. Things will start to turn around on Wednesday, to peak on Friday before we enter the weekend again) :-D

Now abt the movie: Its good. Its more than good. Its one of those movies, which show that Bollywood is not only growing but also maturing at the same time. The movie shocks, disgusts and thrills you, all at the same time.

I wont go into the movie storyline and the plot etc., watch the movie if you are interested in knowing all that.

There is not much of a story in the movie. Its just sees the world through the eyes of a Page-3 journalist. What she experiences is very effectively shown and even felt by the audience. Its ridicules the life style of the rich and the famous and also shows the flip-side or rather the dirty underbelly of these ppl.

One characterisitic of the movie, is its emphasis on the characters in the movie. Characters are introduced and built in minimum amount of time and then illustrated so that we get a very stron feeling of whom we are looking at. There is no character confusion to the viewer of the movie. The switch of emphasis from one character to another is very fast and in spite of that very unfelt and subtle. You hardly notice that a new character has been introduced and the old one is out of the story, atleast temporarily. I havent seen many such movies, where I see this kind of thing. In this movie, this characterisitc gives the movie its fast pace and magic, gripping the audience.

Final Word: A wonderful movie. I would give it a **** on a scale of 5. Its certainly not a movie for the ones who are looking for "time-pass". This movie is anything but tp. This movie makes you think hard and see into yourself of what we are all upto in this modern life.

For a blog named Obelix in Rome, I would say that this movie shows the Rome of today!
