Two Thoughts And A Pause | Editor's Pen

Hi All,


Some days back, I finished reading Sidney Poitier’s memoir ‘The Measure Of A Man’. In a white world of Hollywood of that era, he was the first actor to get an Oscar for Best Actor, a feat not many managed to achieve. The secret of his success somehow lies in the fact that he held almost no prejudices against anyone based on melanin content in skin. He broke the stereotypes and achieved what he wanted.


Another person who grabbed headlines in last fortnight was Vidya Balan for her convincing performance in a glossy The Dirty Picture which failed to impress many. Vidya delivered a fine performance as Silk loosely based on life of Silk Smitha. Her expressions were good and dialogue delivery was impressive. Well, nothing new. The script failed her. A weak script that considered Silk as a body than a soul. It was OUATIM of Silk.


This fortnight we gave farewell to one of the biggest star- Dev Anand. I don’t know how to express my grief. Something is gone forever… He will not rest in peace… he has been so energetic. I guess someone wants to make movies up there… that’s why they summoned him.


Regards
Sujoy
