When we got the tickets to the late night show on a Wednesday,
we were expecting entertainment and hoping against hopes that it should not be
yet another love story. The trailer said it’s not a love story.
I never write about a movie. I think I am not the right
person to sit and critically analyze a movie as I watch movies purely for fun
sake. But this one is just out of the world. It connects and this is therefore
not a movie review, it’s just about how I felt and would so want you all to go
watch it.
The movie starts with two people totally lost on life and
with nothing to look forward to. The only one thing that connects them is
music. And how can one not fall in love instantly with music. I go back to
music all the time. It is my mood – lifter (if that’s a word). I have music for
every occasion – wake up music, Sunday morning music, Sunday evening music, Friday
music, running music, feeling home- sick music, cooking music, thinking of
college days music, feeling awesome music, drive music,… yeah you get the
drift. I remember there was a song playing in my head when the priest was
reading the wedding promises! I have a song for every moment basically.
So the movie is like that. It’s about how you pick up from
where you left, it is about the moment you realize that nothing is permanent
and nothing can break you till you want it to break you. You just need to sing
a song and be calm. The story is so encouraging. It’s devoured off all the cliché’s.
You expect them to kiss and make up and become a couple; you want them to because
your mind is tuned to that. But they just follow their heart and make their
dreams come through… they also survive. The music touches you and you want to
listen to it on a loop.
Please go and watch it if you still have not.
