I hate when bad films like Drona and Strangers waste his talent.<br /><br />http://sabrinakiran.blogspot.comS.K.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00335846131437044021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252471958376602325.post-20645767011367410462009-03-20T09:00:00.000-07:002009-03-20T09:00:00.000-07:00Darshit: Oh I see- but does 2 women- 'cos Ayesha ...Darshit: Oh I see- but does 2 women- 'cos Ayesha came later qualify as a harem? :D It still doesnt explain the outfiture, but it makes complete sense that Kay Kay was clinging to a symbol of the old rule. thanks!<BR/><BR/>Bollywooddeewana- Garam hawa is more about the tragedy of partition, and the seeking of identity among Indian muslims- arguably the best thing Balraj Sahni ever did.

So we can not emphasize but just be an audience. <BR/><BR/>And the 'Ardhnarishwar' is somewhat explained in the movie. Remember KayKay shouting at him as <I>hijra..</I>? The kings are famous for keeping hijras to protect their harems. This must be last of them. And Piyush who had nobody to call his own, would be obsessed with him, for music too.dunkdafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01140259719369169275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252471958376602325.post-27488609800370300212009-03-19T21:29:00.000-07:002009-03-19T21:29:00.000-07:00Bhargav: I thought about it some more, and added t...Bhargav: I thought about it some more, and added to the last paragraph of the post. It seems to me the only explanation, though of course, the only answer lies with Raja, who wrote the thing! :D<BR/><BR/>Bollyviewer: you know, watching it didnt make me sad or angry- per my rant#1, I honestly felt no empathy towards any of the characters. But you may be more sensitive to it, and of course, it isn't a happy movie at all :)Shweta Mehrotra Gahlawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543438271055378809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252471958376602325.post-2089559583019242892009-03-19T19:56:00.000-07:002009-03-19T19:56:00.000-07:00This movie seems to inspire strong feelings in all...This movie seems to inspire strong feelings in all the reviewers! I am definitely curious but still not sure if I want to watch something this stressful. Somehow Rajasthan and Bihar have come to symbolise moviedom's idea of places just beyond the last outpost of civilisation. While this offers a lot of creative freedom to the movie-makers I am not sure it translates into happy viewing for us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252471958376602325.post-3434885334107708612009-03-19T17:01:00.000-07:002009-03-19T17:01:00.000-07:00You've finally seen this! :)Even I couldn't unders...You've finally seen this! :)<BR/><BR/>Even I couldn't understand the Ardha Nareshwar character.
