Imtiaz Ali - Bollywood's gem.


I think I'm here to praise something or just talk about it but I am not very sure.
So I watched Randeep Sexy Hooda and Alia Bhatt starrer HIGHWAY.

I had planned to post about the movie but somehow I end up talking about how much I love Imtiaz Ali.
Being a ShahRukh Khan Worshipper (and Not just a Fan) I amaze friends by telling them that "Love Aaj Kal" is my all time favorite! Firstly, Because choosing one SRK movie is impossible and Secondly, because Imtiaz Ali Movies are close, very close, closest to the heart.

Location-India oriented.
Most ideal and romantic location for people might be the Typical Yash Chopra Movie location, for me they are Imtiaz Ali Movie Locations. His movies have this very different, simple yet put an extraordinary kinda attention towards some of the best, most extravagant, lively yet peaceful places in India. I absolutely love how his movies are incomplete without a little "Dilli" + something "Sufi" and lots of "Punjabi-pann" in it!

Music- Most Happening Albums!
Coming to the Music his movies has, I'd say if you don't consider Rockstar as one of the ultimate music album this industry has you sure have a bad taste in music! Unlike every other movie Music is not Imtiaz movies' Best part. Imtiaz himself, is, followed by music. Irshad's lyrics, A.R.Rahman's music, a mandatory song by Mohit Chauhan - Orgasmic!

Simple Yet Completely Different Approach (Towards Love, Life, Friendship, Freedom..)
Bollywood these days is upto something it has no idea about, but Imtiaz movies at the same time are the best thing happening to bollywood-freaks,I bet!
For some, Imtiaz movies are baseless and for rest, they are just meant for entertainment. But you need to look deep into them. They are about little things and little feelings that change your life drastically.

Why is Love Aaj Kal the most favorite movie? Because it is about doing little things for each other that we might not say and even refuse, but want (When Jai visits Meera at the Airport?) It is about Love still existing when you are busy being practical about your lives and thinking that hitting on a new person everyday is okay,and easy.
Why Rockstar? Because you can't have everything in life. You've got accept what life brings to you.
Why Cocktail? Because seeing someone you love falling for someone else hurts, and hurts more when they met that someone through you. But you can't change how they feel.
Highway? Because some people want to breathe, want to be loved and want to love someone with all they have.

Entertainment?
Imtiaz movies might have nothing but Entertainment! He will very easily make every person get into the story as if "THIS IS ME!!" He knows the key to connect to the hearts and trends of the Youth. Simply, he knows "Kya Chalta Hai" or what the audience wants. His screenplays, scripts, music or transitions -Everything is what keeps you glued to your seats in the cinema,because he is showing you what you want to see. *Winks*

My Love for Imtiaz and his movies is deeper than my love for the Sufi and the Punjabi touch in his movies. All I can do is talk about him and wait for SRK to work with Imtiaz. If you need more reasons why Imtiaz Movies Make Complete Sense To Me (MOST SENSIBLE, I mean!!) then talk to me. B-)
