Oh Dear......., dear me .........
Sarfarosh has weathered quite badly since it came out in 99. It may have been cutting edge then, however it now plays like an episode of Aaron Spelling's Glitter magazine (Season 99).
Aamir Khan plays boy next door Ajay Singh (nice fro bro). Since we're now in 2013, let's just call him Andy Singh.
Yesterday Andy was a fighter pilot protecting Hindustan from the Empire. Today Andy is an edgy freedom fighter, traumatized from childhood, after stumbling upon a cache of Lethal Weapon videos. Tomorrow Andy is destined to be man addicted to ink who has forgotten how to exit the gymn.
Supporting our hero, we have 2 very strong performance from Naseeruddin Shah (blind dude from Mohra) and Sonali Ben (unforgettable in Mumbai).
Naseeruddin plays a gentle poet who sings ghazals sweet as the morning dew. Not any old sweet dew though, we're talking the kind of dew that drips off Bambi's nose on Xmas day. Men want to be his brother, and chicks want to be his mum. Let's just call him Johnny Cash.
Sonali plays a rather pimped out Jenna Rink. Is Jenna's hotness greater than her charmlessness? One thing's for sure she really is going on 13. Throughout the film she's lumbered with lines such as 'Thank you please', and 'Just chill, chill chill, just chill'.
Andy also has a sidekick called Salim, a stubborn sort of fellow who has an inferiority complex regarding the ground Andy walks on. This provides Salim with the opportunity to make a forgettable but film award winning speech about 'how he loves Eden Gardens more than his future Mrs'.
As for the ending..... Well my mother predicted the ending correctly 10 minutes into the film. The first 9 minutes are taken up by a song and dance number.
Pros - Priests packing tommy guns, Nice ghazals, cute goats
Cons - Who was the podgy kid at the beginning?
Overall - Timewarped popcorn
