I watched "MOD" starring Ayesha Takia and a new face Rannvijay Singh. If you are tired of all the big budget movies like Bodyguard and Ra One, then Mod will be like sugar candy giving you some solace that there are sensitive directors like Nagesh Kukunoor (Iqbal fame), who make sensitive movies. It is a cute and pure love story made with sheer simplicity. It is a slow paced movie with picture perfect landscape at the background. It is like a romantic novel which you should read at a leisurely pace. Ayesha Takia looked lovely and the new actor, Rannvijay Singh was quite natural and convincing. A lovely movie, definitely better than Ra One.
I forgot to mention two beautiful movies that I highly recommend to watch. One is "Iti Mrinalini" by Aparna Sen and the other is "Kashmkash" (Naukadubi - the original bengali version). Both the movies are a treat to watch. Kashmkash is an adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's novel Naukadaubi. You may find it a bit slow as we all are living in the age of Ra One, but if you are a lover of real works of art, then you will definitely enjoy this movie. On the other hand Iti Mrinalini is again an Aparna Sen's directorial venture. It is an autobiographical journey of an actress, Mrinalini Mitra, who was hounded by the media and mistreated by her men. I liked the movie in spite of certain criticisms it has faced. It is a story of a weak woman, who somehow becomes an actress but makes wrong decisions in her life and faces the consequences. Not necessarily each and every woman has to be strong in order to be unique and different. Aparna sen and Konkana sen, both worked fantastically.
