CHEENI KUM

CHEENI KUM

In many good Bollywood films songs deepen our understanding of relationships. If the song element is clipped to the point where a Bollywood film resembles a Hollywood film, then there has to be more done to enhance the story-telling technique. The screenplay needs to be stronger and the editing – tighter. Illaiyaraja’s tuneful score has been used effectively but in a film of this duration, it could have played a more significant part in fleshing out the relationship between the leads.

Cheeni Kum is definitely a vehicle for Amitabh Bachchan and this where the emphasis of the film is wrong. It should be a vehicle for the relationship between the characters portrayed by Tabu and Amitabh Bachchan. Other actors should not exist merely to showcase the star; they should be there to contribute to the internal logic of the narrative. As it is, they retreat alarmingly into the background as the spotlight falls yet again, upon the legend whose histrionics are not supported by clear motives and meaning.
