Guzaarish 2010

I turned on Fiesta last Saturday and saw Hrithik Roshan, when I checked, it’s a movie called Guzaarish. Then I saw Aishwarya too, so decided to watch this movie.

Wow, what an awesome movie.

"Guzaarish" revolves around married nurse Sofia D'Souza (Aishwarya Rai) and a quadriplegic, wheelchair-bound patient Ethan Mascarenhas (Hrithik Roshan) with whom she develops an intimate bond. However, at the fourteenth anniversary of his accident, Ethan decides to take matters to his own hands and files an appeal to the court for mercy killing.This leaves Sofia in an impasse that challenges their relationship and their love. Ethan is also the famous, most accomplished magician who becomes quadriplegic after an accident. He then become a radio jockey since the accident for 14 years.

The movie is directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the man behind Devdas.

I like the sets on this movie, including the photo frames, the furnitures, the kitchen; it was bit dark, but it fits the story well. Aishwarya played her role so well, but that character looked very familiar to me. I love the attire she wore.

From Wikipedia: The movie is set in Goa, and hence, Bhansali wanted to give a Portuguese touch to his frames. Sumit Basu, the Art Director, created Ethan's House in Mehboob Studio with a very Spanish/Portuguese flavour and the auditorium for magic acts, the court room, Martin's Bar in Yash Raj Studio. For the costumes, Bhansali hired Sabhyasachi Mukerjee as the costume designer, who had worked Bhansali in Black

Everyone else in the movie really played the character with passion. They really turned into the character. The lawyer, Devyani Dutta - I like the way the director placed her character, a trusting friend of Ethan and lawyer & another character, Dr Nayak. I can really sense how each one was really driven with passion in this movie.

This movie was an average grosser at the box office but the film received critical acclaim and awards and nominations in all the leading award ceremonies of the country.
