White Noise
Saw this movie called White Noise over the weekend before i left for Coorg. Somehow I always expect a Rahul Bose movie to blow me away, but its always his co-stars who seem to let me down. In Mr. & Mrs. Iyer, it was Konkona who i think was quite overrated. In Chameli, it was Kareena who deserved to be tightly slapped for being....well, Kareena. Rahul Bose brings a kind of intensity to his movies, his roles which remind of perhaps Gregory Peck...its the same kind of solidity that many of todays actors so clearly lack.BTW, one thing that definitely deserves a mention about this movie is its soundtrack. Incidentally it was one of the very few cases where i purchased the soundtrack for an Indian movie well before i saw the movie. And the singular reason for that was that Dhruv Ghanekar has composed all the songs on this album. Dhruv is one dude whom i am a big big fan of. For those of you (.......who you...there aint anybody listening to me out there now is there...) who dont know about Dhuv Ghanekar, well he is an absolute DUDE! He was one of the people behind Rock Machine/Indus Creed and makes some amazing music. And atleast he hasn't disappointed me. The songs are so cool...an amazing mix of Guitars, percussion and indian rhythms. I am not a big fan of fusion music, but this album is just ....MUSIC, without deliberately trying to stress on the fusion part of it. Quite cool i must say ! Standout songs are Resonate and In the Air.
On the subject of White Noise, well i had seen another movie called White Noise a while back. It starred Michael Keaton(.....remember him....yup he's still very much alive.. and not acting in Tim Burton movies...). Dealt with some ghostly shit called ELP or ENP or something. About how ghosts can communicate through the static( White Noise!!) of your TV and all. Quite a crappy movie.
