Moksha: Salvation

Moksha was the launching pad for Arjun Rampal and was first directorial debut of then famous cinematographer. The movie is excellent is every respect. Be it the story, the camera work, the background score; However, it was made ahead of its time. If it was made these days where experimental and substance movies are being recognized, it would have worked well with the audience. Nevertheless, I recommened this movie those people who appreciate quality cinema.

Hello,

Since I bought Moksha sometime last year I wanted to see it. So today I made time to see it. After the movie I kicked and punched myself, for not watching it sooner. This movie won national award for Cinematography and Audiography. This movie reminded me of Memento. Different camera angles were used and overused which were sometimes distracting. The music was not impressive but went well with the story. There was pacing problems in some part of the movie especially the first half. The casting was perfect!!! Lots of symbolism used in the movie. I liked the use of black & white to portray present and color to potray past(flashback). I also liked the dream sequences. If you have seen this movie, please post your opinions.

Thanks Fin

MOKSHA - **** out of *****

I have yet to see a more perfect, artistic, and beautiful depiction of borderline personality disorder.

Too bad, Ashok Mehta didn't directed more films.

Cinematography is on par with world standards. If not for any other reason, watch for cinematography alone.

Arjun Rampal is dead sexy in this film and more than in any of his future film.

This is not meant for everyone! Only people who have experienced extreme emotional states(whether you see this thing as good or bad), can truly understand this film.

Arjun Rampal, "the unlucky guy" as I do refer to him as for all his films bomb at the Box Office... but why is he so under rated as an actor? Moksha came during the beginning of his career and trust me, if you like Rampal or you hate Rampal, if you're a serious film-watcher, watch Moksha... and it will all change.

The guy, literally carries the movie and gives the best performance till date. The music is tremendous... Jaanleva is still a favorite till date... The action scenes are well executed...

The direction is superb. Moksha is not for the typical Indian Audience who would only like the Johar flicks but if you've like those good movies like Rang De Basanti, Dil Chahta Hai, Lagaan, Swades or Lakshya for that sake, you'll love Moksha. Moksha literally takes us for a ride into the character, Vikram Sehgal's mind... Rampal makes you believe that he IS Vikram Sehgal.

The movie shows every aspect of his character right from his concern for the poor, his hatred against the system, his dilemma and his guilt...

I cannot reveal the story but all I gotta say is that if Rampal gets the right movies and the right Director, he got potential even if his movies do bomb at the B.O.... here's looking forward to Don...

What worked: This movie was a pleasant surprise to me. One of the distinct quality of the movie is the cinematography, which is very dominant aspect of the movie. The screenplay and the concept was great and well done. As a mental health professional, I was impressed by the portrayal of an unstable character with mental health issue in this fashion, and it was done with total honesty by Arjun. It's a well executed, engaging movie, and I loved how the vulnerability, duality of the main character is portrayed. I loved the use of shades and colors in the narrative What did not work: I would take out songs at any cost considering they are disturbing the narrative rather than enhancing them, but also considering the beautiful visual aspect. Final verdict: recommended
