We all know the books
you read, the places you go and the people you meet will all add up to your
personality. We can gauge any one's personality by speaking to them for just 15-20
minutes. You can very well see that the variety of books they would have read,
the places they would have visited across the globe and different personalities
they would have met would be quite visible when we converse with them. Right,…?
But I would also strongly
like to believe even the movies, plays and cultural shows add to our
personality and definitely help enhancing our own self. I have always liked and
appreciated such thought provoking movies, be in any language. I have my own
collection of such movies. Whenever I find time, I just watch them again and
again. It is such an amazing experience because these movies give you different
perspective every time..! That is the beautify of such movies.
For ex :
I have watched two 1975
block busters “MAYURA”(Kannada) a movie
starring late Dr. Rajkumar and bollywood all time hit movie “SHOLAY” again and again at different
ages..say....7, 16, 27, 35 and then now at 40+!! J Every time these movies have given me different perspective and view point. I have been able to appreciate their freshness and thought. But the point here is not that! There are some movies which actually influence the way you start thinking. Many times you may be able to overcome some of the flaws in your personality. There are many life's valuable lessons we get from such movies.
We, Indians many time don’t
know how to feel proud of ourselves and suffer internally. Either we have tons
of EGO or extremely low inferiority complex. While dealing with these two
extremes, we forget ourselves and lose sight of objectives and goals in life.
With that back ground, I
would like recommend two such movies which compel you to think about yourself. They
are "English Vinglish"(Hindi)
featuring Sridevi and "Queen"(Hindi)
starring Kangana Ranaut. These movie speak extensively on one's personality,
inhibitions, inferiority complex and tolerance to something that is very
unreal. For me, “Queen” looks like advanced version of “English Vinglish”. Please
do watch them in that order.
Both the movies are
directed very well by respective directors Gouri Shinde and Vikas Bahl. The two
leading ladies Sridevi and Kangana have very portrayed the role of protagonists
amazingly well! These are some of the best roles they would have played in
their entire career.
Those who missed
watching them please go ahead, buy DVDs and watch them today itself.
Just one word of caution here!
While
"English Vinglish" is a pure family entertainer which you can watch
with everyone, "Queen" is a bit bold movie and only for 18+ audience.
You should
avoid watching "Queen" with your kids.

Message here is – do catch up on some good thought provoking movies whenever you find time. There are many of
them!
Have a nice weekend!
