Three new men in my life

Special 26 is the movie to watch with your Valentine. Director Neeraj Pandey has immense understanding of how to express love in films.The subtle nuances shown are so beautifully picturised. If I say more, its like the review posted by our Indian critics, they give the story away. To make Akshay Kumar act so subtle is no mean feat and then to make him act along with Manoj Bajpayee and Anupam Kher and still turn out good, is laudable. This was a movie where I fell in love with four men Akshay Kumar, Manoj Bajpayee , Anupam Kher and the creator of all these characters Neeraj Pandey. Another loved men are from the film Kahaani Satyuki, the cop with Daak naam Rana and Nawazuddin as the CBI director.

The gentleness shown on Akshay s face. His pained eyes  and one finger moving on the balcony railing, asking the heroine not to cry. When he offers to leave the heroine to her house, she turns around and says How much more will you keep leaving me? All this doing justice in the national language Hindi ofcourse. Even the relationship of Akshay and Anupam has shown respect of a Boss and subordinate,love of a father son and teasing of friends. The gamut of emotions on display is a joy to watch. Manoj Bajpayee just looking at his wife and uttering one word shows love and possessiveness. Another actore in the film just doing his housework and covering the wife with a blanket as she sleeps. I better stop as I am truly gushing like a teenager now.One last thing, the song sung by Akshay is soul rending.

This is not a day to look at your lost love or how your first valentine date was. This is the day to say can I love myself and create something lovely out of it. It need not be the standard practise followed of red wine and red roses. It can be about just being with yourself for five minutes and loving the time spent. It can be making a long overdue call to a loved one. It can be cleaning his/her cupboard. It can be simply having a smile on your face. It can be about not being cynical about the influence of Western culture. It can be about preparing for the Sarswati Puja tomorrow. It can be about welcoming the spring/ Basant panchami. It can be about spring cleaning. Its one more chance that life has given us to express our love. One more chance to not be depressed. One more way to connect to life.
