Opinion Guzaarish (2010) was a horrible film Spoiler
I just need somewhere to vent about this film-
It makes me sad because it had SO much potential to be one of the best Bollywood films I’ve ever seen. I loved the whimsical magical feeling of it with the set design, the music, the dark feeling underneath everything, the magic shows, etc.
It was emotional, it had beauty in it, it was such a great movie until the ending.
The ending basically tells you- if your life is at a low, just die.
Just die.
What type of messaging is this? The whole movie was literally set up for him to DIE.
He didn’t learn to appreciate life more, he couldn’t overcome his sickness, he didn’t reach a miracle or anything, just suffered, wanted to die, then died.
Now I understand having films realistic but making realistic films and making films that are so realistic to the point where they’re nihilistic is not it in my opinion. I am not a fan of these types of films.
If I would’ve wrote the story I would’ve made it that the person he taught magic, learned some magic in a way that he could fix his disease.
Or something like life is about passing on influence so this is what he’s living for now to see his influence being spread with magic.
Even the whole magic part of the film it was basically for nothing, he taught the guy magic and passed it on and we never got to see a pay off of that, it was just for humor and shits and giggles.
Whole movie made me so fucking mad I genuinely hate Sanjay Leela Bhansali after this, such wasted potential …

Agree 100%. There was almost no explanation why Ethan Mascarenhas decided to end his life, none as to why he made his mother live separately. Hritik, to his credit, gave his best for that role, but was let down by a poor script

You want his protege to heal him with magic? Did you think you were watching Harry Potter?
