SPOILER FREE Review :)
Tamasha is indeed an invigorated tale in today's times of fatuous films! It is clichéd, yes... It is flawed, yes... its story is nothing new, but the way Imtiaz presents the story in the form of musical narrative, and the manner in which lead protagonists, Ranbir and Deepika mark that presence is truly commendable.
Tamasha is all about the journey of Ved (portrayed by Ranbir Kapoor) and Tara (portrayed by Deepika Padukone) through self-discovery, love, passion, contend and vivacious emotions. Its screenplay is non- linear, mind you, which might make some uncomfortable for a love story, but Tamasha is not only about romance, if you're wondering.
Film's technical aspect is class apart. Ravi Verman's stunning cinematography deserves a standing ovation. Editing is arguably good, but its not for everyone's mouthful. Ranbir and Deepika's performance is one of the biggest strengths of this film. Their chemistry is wonderfully captured and presented in a grand celluloid!
Another highlight of this movie is its music. A.R. Rahman delivers a grand soundtrack once again, and Imtiaz weaves those songs in a perfect manner carrying the story forward. Is Imtiaz-Rahman combo slowly becoming Mani Ratnam-Rahman combo?
Tamasha is not an easy grasp, at least not for everyone. The film will have mixed opinions, that's for sure. But if you find the connection that Imtiaz tries you to find through Ved's character (or to some extent Tara's character), you are in for a treat.
Watch out for: Ranbir and Deepika's Chemistry, Imtiaz's direction, Songs and Score, Cinematography

I always wonder why we Indians keep raving about Hollywood movies being more superlative or transcendent than Indian ones, when we have given many timeless movies in the past 100 years. One such evergreen movie is Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Anand (1971) which upon its release stole millions of hearts and holds its legacy and class even today, after 40 years of its release.
The movie is a classic story of a terminally ill man Anand Saigal, played by legendary actor Rajesh Khanaa who wishes to live his life to the fullest before the inevitable occurs, as prophesied by his best friend Dr. Bhaskar Banerjee, played by another legend Amitabh Bachchan and famously remembered as BabuMoshai. Anand's charisma and living each second to the fullest attitude leaves you in tears towards the film's climax.
Anand raised the bar of Indian cinema with its brilliant story, screenplay, direction, dialogues and music.
People who have knowledge of Indian cinema are very well aware of Hrishikesh Mukherjee who has his own panache of film-making. Anand was his masterpiece both in terms of technical domain of film-making (background music, screenplay) as well as in subsuming viewer's emotions. In Anand, he kept the story simple and focused more on potent dialogues and human's psyche of contemplating death. The movie, with its realistic sets and novel screenplay changed the face of Bollywood industry in 70s, when pure melancholy and melodrama were the ruling cards!
Anand is one movie which should not be missed by a movie buff. If you haven't watched it yet, put all your works aside and witness this great cinema, which is far-far better than mindless commercial movies releasing in current times.
