Hey Everyone!
I really don’t know who my audience is and I am quite unsure if I have any to be precise. Anyway, blogging for me is like my personal web diary (referring to my previous blogs on love, freedom etc-hope you got the hint). Here I go again (after so many months).So, I saw Wake up Sid today- A Bollywood movie starring Ranbir Kapoor and my favorite Actress, Konkana Sen Sharma and I am sure my blog title must have given you an exact idea what I will talk about (this is to remind you that you don’t give me that ‘whatever’ look after reading it-too bad for you I won’t get to see it here).
Nevertheless, I remember watching her first film called Mr. & Mrs. Iyer and was completely awed by her performance. A Bengali girl talking in complete ease in her Tamilian accent was commendable (I got to know this fact only after I read it in a newspaper article because all through the film I thought she was actually a south Indian actress). But somehow, actresses look for such meaningful cinema in the beginning of their careers and getting one is like getting a pearl from one of the thousand shells in the ocean(must have been easy task for her being the daughter of the film director Aparna Sen) .
The next Sen Movie I saw was Page 3, well again one of a kind. The director’s hard work was indeed there, but she provided the sole with her acting skills with no more Tamilian accent this time. So many people from the media industry related their life to hers and she definitely deserved the appreciation. Movies like 15 Park Avenue; Luck by Chance and Life in a Metro were like a cherry on the cake- all praiseworthy roles. I really don’t know how I find myself in all the characters she plays. While watching her movies I feel as if I am the one, who loves, slaps, hates, cries. I guess, that’s the magic she spreads with her onscreen acting. Sometimes I wonder that we don’t really know these actors (as in how they are in their personal life) but some movies actually touch our sole (may be in my case- all her movies make an impact on my mind).
Well, Konkana I know you will never even have the time or even a slight idea that somebody has dedicated a blog to you after seeing one of your movies rather all your movies, who is not a movie critic or a great writer but definitely a great fan of yours. Keep up the good work! (And for those who actually managed to read the whole blog without yawning- how about writing a comment about this one- criticism accepted).
Cheers!!
