Watched antaheen a cupla months back and was fascinated by the characters and their personalities... it cud hv emerged as an intense movie if the dialogues instead of being superficial and artificial were intense and more realistic. Tho i would say I really liked rahul bose, especially the car scene wehre he drops radhika home!! silence and he was quite eloquent, or may be i am reading too much romance/intensity in the scene!!<br /><br />Smitajourneycalledlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419930305840412271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-79091688197213465922010-01-27T13:28:34.334+05:302010-01-27T13:28:34.334+05:30My sentiments too.

Well, he deserves it because he was the one who initially "Fingered" Congress.<br /><br />If you saw the media pics after he cast his vote last year, You would know what I mean. <br /><br />All awards per se are politically motivated. By the way, is Amitabh a Padma Shri awardee?!<br /><br />ZagAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-31765798819896732972010-01-26T13:57:15.769+05:302010-01-26T13:57:15.769+05:30Oh well.. wht tops in the list is MGR winning Nati...Oh well.. wht tops in the list is MGR winning National Award for his role in Rickshakaran(a very forgettable movie and role), while Shivaji Ganesan never got any for most of his laudable roles till Thevar Magan fetched him a spl mention...<br /><br />As regd Padma awards on the whole, The underlying rule is that you must make headlines abroad to qualify ..We Indians are known to slight talent till will get foreign endorsement.<br />That's why we didn't recognise even Tagore and Swami Vivekanada till non-Indians acknowledged them...<br /><br />btw Sivaji first got Chevalier Award and Dadasaheb Phalke followed a year later<br /><br />nicely said :)janani sampathhttp://unrelentingdreamer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-91263511866719864202010-01-26T09:14:11.594+05:302010-01-26T09:14:11.594+05:30As usual.... well said!
