Some defined as love, others as purely friendship, and some that lie in-between these two poles that lack any official tital. Through the effect of these relationships on one another, the film begs the question of the comparative importance of love and […]

The relationship between Amar and Meghna is portrayed as being romantic in a tragic, Romeo and Juliet kind of way. But if you take away the expectation that you are watching a love story, you are left with a tale about a man with an unhealthy obsession with a woman he does not know in […]

Hans Zimmer calls him the Mozart of Madras. (Madras is now known as Chennai and is he birthplace of AR Rahman). You may know him from Dil Se.., […]

The tattoo that sits on Vijay’s arm that reads “My father is a thief” serves as a symbol for marking the difference in paths between the two brothers. Vijay claims that the marking on his arm leads him to act in a rogue manner because the memory of his father’s questionable past behavior and decisions […]

Let’s run through some characters before I begin my analysis so that this makes sense. Also, this contains spoilers. A lot of them. So if you ever want to watch this movie (and I recommend you do) you may not want to read this post. Rizvan: Male lead (becomes husband of Mandira) Mandira: Female lead […]

The awkward dinner scene is not a new technique used in film. It seems that it is often used in order to emphasize certain character conflicts and make these private conflicts more dramatic by having a big reveal of secrets in front of characters that were not aware of these conflicts prior. For example, in […]

I can’t even try to come up with a funny title for this post because I’m still processing. So many reactions to this film, I don’t even know where to start. I mean first of all, I haven’t been as obsessed with any of the songs quite as much as I am with this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WmQ41swoUo […]

I feel as if Amar Akbar Anthony is a film that not only focuses on brotherhood and separation, but also on Gandhi’s teachings about secularism. The three brothers who have been separated have been brought up in three different religions; Amar is a Hindu, Akbar is a Muslim, and Anthony is a Christian. The fact […]

Amar, Akbar, Anthony raised one question from me: how cliché is too cliché? I think this film is the answer. Yes, Bollywood is filled with expected plot lines and cliché moments, but sometimes the symbolism and predictability goes way overboard. For example, when all three of the sons were assisting in giving their biological mother […]
