Beyond the Clouds

The only reason I wanted to watch this movie was the director, "Majid Majidi". He is one of my favorite director.

As expected, I was more than satisfied after watching the movie. He knows how much emotion is needed. Never too much never too less. He puts the emotion at the right place and at the right time. King of tragic endings. Kind of helplessness he brings, shows how deeply he has analyzed the situation before showing it on screen. Be it any movie Children of heaven, The Song of Sparrows or Baran, he never failed to touch our hearts(mine atleast).

Acting wise, everyone of them was able to convince. For me the person who wasn't acting at all was "Asha". She was raw and natural. Her expressions when she was scared of Amir, when she was uncomfortable and shy when he was clicking her photo and many more. Even though Akshi had very few dialogues in the movie, he has done a brilliant job with his facial expressions.

First of all I would like to say Triple Congratulations to the director, hero and heroine of the movie. Hero has lot of talents and shown up in the movie (especially I like the robot dance steps) and Heroine acted very good in all different role plays.

Big Salute to the director and enlightened the risk of being more alcoholic persons, dealing with drugs and using ladies for fun objects. Some of the scenes are shown through the Shadow that is really mesmerizing.

I liked the movie very much and big salute to the entire team!! Well done guys!

I really enjoyed watching and thinking about the story and content of this film. Kudos to the all the actors involved in this project. Each role was thoughtfully and convincingly portrayed. The lessons learned are that there are many kinds of families, some by birth, others through unavoidable circumstances of life, and forgiveness makes anything bearable.

Genre : Drama Duration : 120 Minutes

Ishaan Khatter : Much known as the younger brother of Shahid Kapoor, is fantastic as a debutant. He completely nails the character of Aamir. He deeply performs all the emotions that a talented actor could bring out. Malavika Mohanan : She plays Tara, who is Aamir's sister. Her screen presence is equally strong. She complemented Ishaan well.

Story : The plot is centered around a brother and sister relationship, however it also teaches us that whatever happens in life, we should always be humble and kind towards others. The story & direction by Majid Majidi is beautiful but felt slightly lengthy in the last half hour. It is indeed an eye opener for audiences wanting to see the real Mumbai.

Music : The tracks & Background sound by AR Rahman are of a different league. No Favorites.

Overall, Beyond The Clouds is one of those realistic flicks, which every cinema lover should definitely watch.

Indeed a great attempt by the genius. He's always real, natural with rich blend of human emotions. I always loved watching his movies and this movie shows the plight of the very poor in Mumbai or Bombay streets, most applicable to all metros in India.
