Review of Guzaarish (2010) by Raghav A — 19 Nov 2010
If I were to pick any one reason to watch Guzaarish, it would be Hrithik Roshan. I think he has delivered his career best performance here, getting rid of the Koi Mil Gaya-ish dumbo look on most occasions.
Aishwarya also did a great job. Newcomer Aditya Kapoor is a natural. Story-wise there isn't much to talk of, unfortunately and that is the film's prime weakness. I could not sympathise with the request for euthanasia, and the subsequent court scene is melodramatic and an insult to good legal dramas.
There are some good moments in the narration and the magic sequences are brilliantly done. Other factors essentially remain typical SLB style: grand sets, exquisite lighting, loud music, imaginative camera works et al.
Again, go for it if you wanna see Hrithik in his best avatar yet, curiously that of a paraplegic. Of course, the Natya Shastra says to express yourself the help of body is not required :).
