James McAvoy = the hot.<br /><br />Memsaab - I am exhausted just thinking about our exhaustion!<br /><br />Nida - It was aesthetically quite beautiful and appealing enough.

It is, indeed, very devastating. I cried out all three liters of water, I think.<br /><br />Heqit - Aapka naam bilkul Heqit hai! Shukriya, yaar.<br /><br />Anonymous - We have a winner! No more "maaf"! I've been learning Hindi from Rupert Snell's glorious book, Teach Yourself Hindi, as well as (1) movies, and (2) private lessons. <br /><br />Bhargav - Shukriya! I did see Pride & Prejudice and enjoyed it quite a bit, despite my snobby "only the BBC/Colin Firth one is acceptable". I actually really enjoyed some of the filmmaking (e.g. the hand close-ups, which I mentioned in an <A HREF="http://p-pcc.blogspot.com/2009/01/bulandi-2000.html" REL="nofollow">old Hindi review</A>).<br /><br />Sanket Vyas - LOL! Aw! I don't think I was ever bored, I spent far too much time admiring the motes in the sunlight and James McAvoy's gloriously cute looks!a ppcc representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533616493105736109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-77253049369440992882009-04-20T20:26:00.000-07:002009-04-20T20:26:00.000-07:00Lovely translation but my thoughts are mixed on th...Lovely translation but my thoughts are mixed on the movie itself. I love some of the scenes and that single tracking shot during the actual war was just a thing of beauty.

Been following your blog for a while now and must say its always a pleasure to read your reviews/analyses.<br /><br />Btw just curious, did you learn hindi just from watching the movies?.. (haha coz thats how I came to understand it, at least the kind used in films :)<br /><br />Hmmm would "praschit" be a suitable translation for "atonement"?<br /><br />kjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79723819638700739.post-58591045490427875132009-04-19T22:23:00.000-07:002009-04-19T22:23:00.000-07:00Oh P-PCC, I am so jealous!
