I saw Aisha yesterday night, and I don't know if I liked it. I mean, it was kind of ok.. it seems I have started to like films that have been panned all over (No, don't include that grotesque Hisss, which I have no intention of watching ever, even if someone calls me to its premiere in LA). Aisha is a typical sweet story inspired by Emma (one of my favorite books since we had it as our supplementary reader in Class 8). I love Jane Austen's classics. As Abhay Deol essayed in Aisha, Mr. Knightley was such a cool character. But since it is inspired and modified for an Indian audience, the characters weren't that witty. I really liked the girl who played Shefali. I love Sonam Kapoor, no matter what others think of her. I loved her in Saawariya and I hate Luv Storys and now in Aisha..that girl has style and kick ass attitude..and importantly she acts well..

Anyway, talking of Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice is another must-read classic. What I love about her books is that her heroines are not typical of Miss Goody Two Shoes but very real, selfish, self-centered, and independent. Emma Woodhouse, Elizabeth Bennet, Marianne Dashwood.
Back to Aisha, I liked 2 dialogues.
1. Aisha: Muje laga tha jab mujhe pyaar hoga, to meri sari duniya badal jayegi. Chitra Massi : Pyaar koi toofan nahi hai jo aye aur zindagi badal de..pyaar to zindagi ke chote chote lamhon me hai.
2. Pinki: Hum kisi fairytale me nahi Delhi me rehte hai..yahan hum rainbow nahi traffic ka dhuan hai..agar is me ek sitara bhi dikh jaye vahi bahut hai.. Hmmm
Meanwhile, I am addicted to the song Udi from Guzaarish. What awesome lyrics, na?
totally relate to the austen's women description and that's why we love them!
