I began watching Tamasha with the hope that it would be some continuation of the Yeh Jawaani Hain Deewani magic. In fact, the scenes in Corsica reminded me a lot of that movie. Needless to say, I love the chemistry between the leading pair.
However, for something by the name of Tamasha, this movie exceeded my expectations.
Agreed, the drama is heightened. But the message is clear. Clear and loud. Though it is difficult to believe the ordinary Products Manager that Ved is was the same person in Corsica, but the gap is understood.Β In a long time I saw a movie where the take of the story was new, something different from the usual rom-coms.
Being someone who has been in similar situations as Ved, I could totally relate to the moments of lapses that he has. I have been into way too many situations when I was totally displeased at the circumstances I was in, and anger was frothing in me and I was forced to maintain calm, because I couldn’t afford to show my emotions. An awesome performance by Ranbir Kapoor, of course. I totally loved the way he portrayed the character of an ordinary man.
Have you watched Tamasha? How did it make you feel? Do share with me in the Comments.
Arpita – I read and love your posts. On Tamasha – I agree with you, though being the person that I am, I am and have let myself to be much more immersed in the emotion of it. Here’s my review of the film: http://sinjinisengupta.blogspot.in/2015/11/kya-tamasha-hai.html

Having heard so many negative reactions from different sources about the film..I still haven’t watched it. Now reading what you’ve written, I might as well go and watch. I like ‘something different’ π

π As far as films are concerned, I think it is best to be your own judge. More often than not I have hated what others liked and vice versa. Movies are like books I guess, everybody loves them for their personal reasons. I loved Tamasha because somewhere inside it said what I feel day in and day out. If you feel the helplessness of Ved, you can’t but love the concept of this movie.
