Hai GUZAARISH

Sanjay Leela Bhansali does it again !!

Guzaarish , a story that tugs at your heart couldn't be told better than this. Ethan Mascarenhas who has spent the last 14 years with  Quadriplegia , decides it's time to die with dignity and appeals for Euthanasia (mercy killing). A man who has lived his glory days as a Merlin Magician( a honorary ) and now a radio jockey at "hello zindagi".

His small world includes Sofia D'souza (his nurse, played by Aishwarya Rai Bachan), Devyani Dutta ( his lawyer friend) ,Dr. Nayak (his doc) , Isabel Mascarenhas (his mom), Rosy and Maria (the caretakers of the house) .His only contact with the outside world is through his radio show where he plays soulful songs and talks to his listener's and  then there's Omar Siddique (who's an aspiring magician, in his own words he's the greatest fan of Ethan)

As ironic as it may sound, a man who tells other's to embrace life wants death. The story never deviates.The lavish melodramatic approach of Mr.Bhansali only adds to the story telling.Every frame looks more like a painting ( you will definitely get to see more blue lighting in this movie too but it's sublime). The music is good (again by Mr.Bhansali himself ) and the locals of goa and the musty walls of the villa are well captured.

The few things that didn't appeal to me were the not so realistic court scenes and the climax of the movie. The best part of the movie is the right blend of the strong will of Ethan and his helplessness..
