#4yearsoftamasha
To begin with, when I saw the movie for the first time, I
thought this to be a haphazard movie without any Imtiaz Ali depth. I was
waiting for some deep emotions, expressions and maybe connection, but was
disappointed. The second time when I watched it, I felt it, the third time, I
connected, fourth time, fifth time and the bond grew deeper and deeper.
In these four years, I have seen Tamasha many times and
every time I felt a new connection with it. It never was Ved, but Tara took all
my love. She is a woman of substance who knows when to hold on and let go. She
was the mirror to the protagonist and the healer to the scars the mirror gave.
She was the go-to-person for Ved at any point of time. The romanticism was not
into the songs, mushy dialogues or the kisses, it was the honesty and the truth that Tara poured out to Ved at all points of time. The movie has
personally taught me to accept things, to hold on, to inspire, to love unconditionally,
to understand and to breakdown yet to stand up again.
I thought that maybe I am the only one who thought this
movie to be so complicated yet enlightening. But…
Two years back, I attended Jashn-e-Rekhta, a three-day
festival where URDU language is celebrated. Imtiaz Ali was there to speak about Jashn and Shayari on the open forum. Soon after he had finished his speech, the
anchor asked the audience to interact with him and ask him anything. People may
have waited for this moment to come. To my surprise, I saw people not asking
but crying and thanking him for making this movie named ‘Tamasha’. Every voice
that came from the crowd only had this message as ‘Thank You, Sir, for giving
us the meaning of our Life.’
I can’t even explain what I felt at that moment. Like me,
there may be many many people across the globe who want to thank him for such a beautiful and enriching experience that he gave us. This is just a note to
thank Imtiaz Ali Sir for this particular movie from the deepest core of my
heart.
