Guzaarish * * *


Guzaarish, is about a magician, Ethan Mascarenhas, who has been bed-ridden for the last 12 year after he loses the sensation in his limbs when his magic trick goes terribly wrong.He's totally dependent on his nurse Sofia D'Souza who has been with him since his accident. Ethan, in spite of his disability, works as a RJ convincing people how beautiful this life is, even writes a book for the paraplegic patients to inspire them to live.

But then, after 12 years of struggle, he decides to quit. He files a petition in the court asking for mercy-killing which is illegal in India. But his friend and advocate Devyani fights to get a hearing on the petition.The film is an open debate on the concept of Euthanasia.It has been always there, it's just that we don't talk about it. People may think of this as a cowardly act but you cannot feel what these paraplegic people feel.They cannot move, they cannot walk, they have no sensation of urine/stool.The bed becomes the world to them. Imagine getting stuck in a lift.I bet you'll feel the discomfort within a minute. You cannot even bear a single minute of what they feel all the time.How can you say it's a cowardly act?

Anyways, SLB makes his point pretty clear here.You can actually connect to Ethan's misery.You feel for him through out the movie.Hrithik has been absolutely fantastic as a paraplegic.You cannot deny that this is his personal best,yet.And the 'oh! So beautiful ' Aish has complemented him superbly.And all other cameo's also deserve an applause.The cinematography is really beautiful as well as SLB's direction.Although, we were expecting lesser use of 'Blue' this time by SLB, but we don't mind given this one is so better than Sawariyaan. So if you like drama,mind blowing performances,scintillating direction or simply Aish, go grab a seat. I want to share a line from the movie,"Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile."

P.S. If you are not a Hrithik fan, go watch it to become one.
