No..This is not a review of the above said movie..It is about the beautiful art direction..I absolutely love how aaliyah's (deepika padukone..for those who havent seen the movie) was done..I was amazed at how attention was paid to tiniest of details to how a free spirited girl like aaliyah's room should look like..Red walls,messy dresser spoke volumes about Aaliyah the free bird..Even the beach shack in australia looked amazing..pssst i would love to live in some place like that..*sigh* colourful pop art cushions,mugs,the couch...they all were in such a sync with the theme of the movie..It was so refreshing n vibrant unlike the kjo n yrf larger than life rooms of their characters..One particular thing that caught my eye was an inflated palm tree that was in the corner of the balcony of the beach shack...I want that cute little thingy!!!
Another movie which i liked for the same reasons is Wake Up Sid..I am sure whoever has seen the movie must have liked it too!! :)
I totally agree, I really wish I could get one of those designers to do up my room!
ReplyDeleteI know..If only we could get them for a day to do our rooms..That is something which is surely going on my Xmas wishlist!! ;) Is Santa listening???
ReplyDeletedon't knw about break ke baad but i totally agree with wake up sid,
ReplyDeletethe cartoon tshirts and the tech toyz and the DSLR and that lively konkona's one room kitchen flat is done up beautifully which reflects the persons character.
konkona's room in the film is quite organised which shows how streamlined she is,ranbir is one brat !!
I second your opinion..A person's room is actually a true reflection of his or her character..!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you ... sometimes I am busy admiring the set in the background to be much affected by the story! :)
ReplyDelete& especially these days when most movies lack a strong stroyline!
ReplyDeletei simply adore...The way art direction has evolved in Indian cinema.
ReplyDeletetake Dev D for example,Gulaal,udaan
a lot of anurag kashyap movies
Its because directors like anurag have a more realistic approach towards cinema..
ReplyDeleteI think I'll see it then!! :)
ReplyDeleteCool post!

ReplyDelete@prutha. How could i forget Dil Chahta Hai. I guess it was one of the very first movies which started this trend!!
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie- and your right - I loved it more because of the beautiful backgrounds and sets and art direction!
