With TZP, I think part of the problem was just before I left Bombay, the hype over the imminent release was incredible....like Aamir was not just a great film maker and actor, but also father, which I find kind of funny, given that there's a young boy in England who may be his (deliberately unacknowledged) son. So, when I got back to NY and the film had opened, I just did not feel a burning desire to see TZP, quite the opposite. Death by hype. After a change in plans to see Jodhaa Akhbar on opening day, for some reason the prospect of spending 3.5 hours watching the film just was not at all appetizing. I think I'll have to relent, though, as I'm reviewing Rushdie's new book and I now feel vaguely curious to see AG's presentation of the period. As for Jab We Met, I just watched it yesterday and will be posting a review prontissimo. Anon, I’ve had this very bizarre aversion to TZP and Jodhaa Akbar when they came out, and avoided them both.
