The conflict between the Raja and Dia (Akshaye, a favorite of mine, really gave this movie a nice bit of electricity). I loved the subplots, like the "most boring man" and his wife. But the staging, lighting and choreography for this Ishq dance were so DRAMATIC that it stands out. I like them all, especially the traditional one for Aaja Nachle. But as soon as I saw the dancers in red with their hair flying, doing the song about Ishq during the Laila-Majnu play, I knew that I had seen this year's favorite for me. There is SO much music and dance in this movie, it is hard to pick a favorite.
There have only been a few (Nargis, Hema, Shabana) who've been in that elite group. If there was an award for a woman carrying the lead all by herself, there's no question Madhuri Dixit would deserve it. I can now say that I think the movie should sweep a lot of awards: It deserves Best Screenplay, Best Musical Director, Best Cinematography, Best Choreography, and Best Supporting Actor and Actress (Kunal and Konkona, of course). But she makes all the competition seem like runners-up to me. I guess my standards have slid a bit since she left. No one delivers the emotional expression through the entire spectrum the way she does.
Ajanta theatre, the once vibrant hub of the community, the place where Dias fondest memories are embedded must now be brought down because the local political authorities feel it a waste of prime real estate.ĭia picks up the gauntlet to turn this ruin into a vibrant and bustling theatre that was once the soul of her little town, while fighting discrimination, resentfulness and her own demons.Aaja Nachle is Madhuri Dixit's case for still being the best out there. It is a poignant and troubled return not only has her guru passed away but the institution that he so lovingly nurtured is in decay and under threat of demolition. Also the town she left on an impulse, severing ties with her parents and her people. The town where she grew up, the town where she learnt to live and to dance. Her teacher, her guru, is dying and she must return to India. Starring: Madhuri Dixit, Konkona Sen, Kunal KapoorĪn unexpected phone call shakes Dia (Madhuri Dixit) out of her dance rehearsal in New York.
