Naach - Shake It Baby B.

My sister is one of those fortunate humans who can wear any kind of headcovering device and it looks good on her. Abhishek is not. Dekho naa:










But then he´s not the only one with a wardobe nightmare here. A fitting description for the selection of all the costumes of the song sequences in Naach would be: Bakvas hai. Most ugly ever. Worse than Suriyvanshi. As bad as Rocky.
Dressing people nicely is not one of Ram Gopal Varmas strongest points. Doesn´t matter if its boys or girls, btw.










However who cares? Naach is still one of my favourite RGV and Abhishek movies. And it has Riteish Deshmukh. And Antra Mali. So who cares about clothes. Especially if you get stuff like that with it too. Hai naa?










The storyline offers a kind of behind the scenes look on newcomers in the Mumbai filmindustry and their struggle to get to what they dream of. Abhishek and Antra´s characters have a different approach as how to. The Synopsis on the back of my DVD puts it very nicely:

Abhi is a struggling actor
Rewa is a struggling choreographer.
Abhi is practical.
Rewa is idealistic.
Abhi has ambitions.
Rewa has aspirations.
Abhi wants to make it big.
Rewa wants to make a difference.

One day both meet and at first a professional (Abhi takes dance lessons from Rewa), later (was there any question about it?) a personal relationship ensues. The switch from friends to lovers gave me my favorite love declaration. Ever.

*Sigh*

Here´s a transcript and the matching screenshot pics:










Totally soaked from running through the rainy night, they sit down on a bench under a bridge, Abhi looks at Rewa and says, in a casual voice: "I love you"
Rewa turns her head and just looks at him.
Short silence, then:
"I love your eyes, I love your hair, I love your coffee" He raises his voice and the tempo a little "I love you ears, I love your earrings"
Rewa interrupts: "I´m not wearing any"
He smiles impishly and continues: "I know, but if you wore any I´m sure I´d love them"
Rewa gets up, and walks to stand right before Abhi facing him and asks: "And what else?"
He smiles and answers: "I love it that you´re short, I love you because you´re very very boring.
He points to her naval piercing: "I love that, whatever it is"
Another short pause, he gets a bit more serious and says: "I love the way you never smile"
Rewa laughs, walks out into the rain and turns a pirouette










*Sigh*

But of course there´s trouble ahead. Their different approach to fame is bound to lead to trouble their relationship. Mainly because Rewa is stupid and pigheaded (but thats just my take on the story). Why? Well, Abhi is the first of the to get work and fame. And Rewa categorically refuses to be helped by him. And they split. Only after meeting a young director (Riteish) she is able to achieve her visions on her own. So now we have a successful Rewa, a young director who has a crush on his choreographer and filmstar Abhi who finds out he still loves Rewa. And they all get to work together on a movie. Haan haan bilkul emotional drama hai.

All that mixed with cool songs (Adnan Sami! Yey!) sometimes very weird set design and - as I mentioned before - terrible costumes.

I Love it.

P.S.: can anyone get me that flat?










P.P.S.: Sorry guys, I know Antra is nice too, but this post turned out to be one for the Ladies *g*
