Kahaan Baran kahaan Rog??!!!

Hindi films seem to have taken a wrong turn somewhere. K and I always watch the seediest Hindi films together. She has no one to watch them with and I know that I can never get Pinch to watch them with me. Thus we managed to watch Julie, Inteqaam and now Rog. Except that Pinch joined us for this one. Rog is such a ridiculous film. Btw, it’s a Pooja Bhatt production. Starting off as a murder mystery, it quickly does away with all such illusions and turns into one helluva skin show. Starring Ilena Hamann whose only claim to fame is a big pair of you-know-what and Irrfan Khan (he was so good in Maqbool), the film loses all semblance of a plot/script in less than 30 minutes. One thing though: Hindi films have finally broken free of the *flower-nudging-flower* symbolism and have graduated to open-mouthed kissing! This film has one of those…

Baran is a masterpiece. Beautifully shot with minimal dialogue and great acting, this film is a definite winner.
