Gayathri Joshi Gayathri Joshi Gayathri Joshi Gayathri Joshi Gayathri Joshi Gayathri Joshi Gayathri Joshi

I didn’t watch the movie “Swades” till today. That the movie was more than 3 hours long always weighed on me. Last Tuesday, I picked up “Swades” as nothing else could catch my attention. Still I postponed watching it till today (that too because I received reminder SMSes from the DVD library).

Gayathri Joshi is bbbbbeautiful…From the first frame till the last she’s blemishless, not in acting, but in presenting herself. I’m sure people (if any) who watched the movie more than once did it only for her. She just steals the eye-balls whenever she shares the screen-space. Wonder why she’s not acting in more movies!

I feel Shah Rukh Khan is becoming a package of expressions. Something like a set of yahoo smileys. Give him a situation, he’ll pick the right expression from his armoury and present it. His acting has become equivalent to reproducing the same expressions again and again to such an extent that you copy his expression from one movie and paste it in the same situation in another movie and effect will not be much different. It might be the same for many other actors, but I think the problem is he’s already been exposed a lot, and his signature expressions aren’t many; so you always get that feeling that you’ve seen it before.

I think that shouldn’t bother the directors/producers as long as he has the brand and can rake in the now-famous “first-week collection”.

  1. Is this similar to the Murali effect? (I am not talking about Marketing Metrics. :) ) Just like Murali replies to mails sent a month ago, you are writing about a movie that was released 3 years ago.
    Anyway, Gayathri Joshi does look nice. :)

  2. dey - Gayathri joshi is married & gone - no point drooling over her now. I always thought that she looked a bit clumsy being a bit too tall - affects the grace esp when she does that “Sita” dance

  3. and one more thing - the reason why she’snt acting anymore is because she’s expecting - Hope that helps reduce the droool a bit :)

  7. Hi Karthik,
    Swades is a wonderful movie. Shahrukh captures the emotions NRIs go through at the thought of Swades. How can you say this about this movie. I thought the female lead was horrible. Well u r a guy, so ur view is different I guess.
