Above & Beyond - LIVE

Screw the Mangalyaan, last week Above & Beyond got Group Therapy to India and set me and a lot of people to space.

The start, the sign off and the ending were all magical and transcending. 


The company from the usual partners in crime was transcendental too.

Feels

Patriotism for me was best depicted when SRK (in Swades) looks out of his window seconds before he is to set foot in India. Nothing describes detachment better than the wheels of a plane seconds after take off. This was exactly the opposite - done brilliantly. Meanwhile, AR Rahman used only 5 notes of the shehnai for SRK & the audiences to feel homesick repeatedly in the film. Even those who were in India felt homesick/guilty. The first film in a long time that did not show patriotism in the light  of violence, hatred and turbulent times and still struck a chord with the audiences. Wonder where the wiser filmmakers are hiding now or are the scripts. PS: This was also a rare time when an SRK films made sense to me. (I know this comment will draw flack for me)

The Taxi

Dark night, Yellow streaks, Dingy lights, Empty streets, Tricky ride, Wheels that squealed, Cold hands, Shivering feet, A long drive & a small seat. A conversation for company, A smile to convey.
