in which i am perhaps an agnostic not an atheist
Have I mentioned lately how much I adore my Saif?
Okay, I was absolutely horrified when I discovered his ex-wife and I are born five days and several years apart. It put me off him for a good month or so. *shudders even now* Goddamned Leos and their goddamned fatal attractiveness to us Aquarians.
So last night was absolutely dreamy. How best to relax and recuperate on a Friday night? Huddle down and watch Salaam Namaste followed by Ek Hasina Thi, both in full instead of skipping to my favourite bits as I usually do. Mind you, the latter traumatised me all over again cos holy fuck, that Urmila. Now having seen more of her films, her performance in that gave me chills all over again. That moment she gains strength, the moment she realises just how callous and evil he is. Nnnghhhh! I am Sarika Vartak! After the cave! *froths a little* Hee.
And oh yes I gave myself whiplash again with the bottle scene. I had actually sort of forgotten until he picked it up and then I whimpered and cringed and argh, I love that the same actor who leaps and bounds himbo-like across the streets of Melbourne, all happy and foolish in love and frankly embarrassing trendy little clothes, smiles the same smile and bottles my favourite actress in the face. GAH! Sick puppy love! *melts in puddle* So of course I had to watch the title song of Hum Tum and the end to return me to happy!nummySaif place. Cos, well, he's wet in both sequences. I am liek SO DEEP!
He's so good. Pictures don't do him justice. They only present one mood, one facet. My favourite line in Salaam Namaste is still "Stop saying that!" I burst out laughing every time and see, you have to see it to understand. The total indignant irritation, face and voice.
"Mate, you're bleeding."
"Oh no. No, I - I don't like blood."
"I think you might need a doctor."
"No. No doctors. I don't like doctors."
"But you're bleeding."
"Stop saying that!"
*falls over laughing* He's such a good comedian. Not afraid to ham it up in the early scenes of Hum Tum but also utterly natural and sardonic in the more contemporary humour of Salaam Namaste. I forgot how much I relate to that movie, how it does such an unnerving job of reflecting my desires back at me. And not just for Saif Ali Khan. It's a little scary, really.
And see, last night I totally pinpointed the moment you fall in love with him in Ek Hasina Thi. Before it's just lust, when he walks into the travel agency and is clearly imagining undressing Urmila and having sex with her --- cos, well, who wouldn't?! --- and then walks out, all sexy like in his sexy jeans and his sexy pink and white checked shirt. Honestly, how is it the man exudes fuckability in PINK?! I hate pink! Even more when it's on a man! Wait, was it pink? Or blue. Still just lust. Lust all the way with sides of wanting to lick the man. Until the moment in the car after he rebukes her for walking out alone at midnight and even then you're kind of like "he does have a point, Sarika, but wait, why do I think he's not joking about hiring those thugs?" And then he looks at her with the slightest smile and says gently "Wear your seatbelt." And she melts and I melt and it becomes inevitable that they will have happy bunny sex.
I hope they had a lot of sex before it all went bad. Repeatedly. In many different positions. And fuck, I love that she seduces him later in the film. It's ever so subtle, enough that I actually didn't get it the first time I watched it. I just assumed he took advantage of her again. It was only the second or third time when I was really scrutinising her expression as she leans down and gets that mysterious coy quirk to her scarred mouth that my own mouth dropped open and holy FUCK, why couldn't they have shot that??!!
Like the great sexual enjoyment Nick and Ambar take in each other in Salaam Namaste. It really is quite erotic, the sheer overtness of that pleasure rather than the usual coy displacement techniques usually employed in Hindi movies. That we see them making love in the summer tent, that we see her kissing along his shoulder and chest ... well, guhhhh, have you seen his shoulders and chest? *swoons* Talk about eyes watering.
Made me realise we don't usually see women making love to men so overtly. Even in Parineeta, it was him making love to Vidya and it's only when he's jealously imagining her with Sanjay Dutt that we see her taking the whorish initiative. Stupid Shekhar. Thinking about other sex scenes, the one in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna is so tasteful as to be completely impressionistic and nondescript but even there you get the impression it's ShahRukh doing all the work while Rani does the usual Hindi movie thing of lying there to be worshipped. Hmmm. What else? *scratches head* Yep, in Fanaa it's Aamir totally seducing Kajol in the first instance and we don't even see them have sex in the second instance.
--- tangent ---
Which, holy fuck, is an utterly separate brilliance of that film itself. I never realised until last week when I was attempting to cap just one shot to iconise. So I had the sound off and was just focusing on visual which is how I suddenly realised that "fuck, it's their wedding night in effect, their time to fully consummate their love, this time sanctioned and all." And instead of him seducing her again, he breaks down and cries and ends up sleeping in her lap. Cue me bursting into floods of tears and wailing muchly. God, what a fucking brilliant film. That circular nature just gets me so good. *wipes away tear*
--- end tangent ---
So yeah, sexual chemistry. Another reason Salaam Namaste is such a damned valuable gem of a movie in the Bollywood oeuvre. Oooh errr! I kinda liked how Siddharth Anand took that migrant experience of living together to such levels of acceptance that in TaRa Rum Pum RV actually proposes to Radhika just after he gets out of their bed. No mention at all to the fact that they've clearly been sleeping and living together for a while. Only Rani is nowhere as comfortably sexy as Preity. Rani really is an ice queen sort of heroine. I much prefer Preity's slightly kooky warmth. Another Aquarian, this time January. *sigh* But my Urmila is even lovelier. And scarier. Hee.
It still astonishes me how utterly hot I find Saif when he's being evil in Ek Hasina Thi but I can't stand him at all when he's being evil in Omkara. I think it's the teeth. Those paan-stained teeth. I mean, it took me several seconds to actually recognise him in the first scene. Cos when he parts the strings of flowers and smiles, my reaction was "EWWWW!! WHO IS THAT GROSS MAN WITH THE GROSS TEETH?!" A few seconds later, I idly wondered when Saif would turn up. Cue penny drop, boggle and "OH OH OH OH GROSS!!" Totally un-himbo-like, seriously. And I can't help but love the man for that, for the sheer poison of his performance. Of course he's meant to be all seductive evil in Ek Hasina Thi and daaaaaamn he does it well. But it's like he just switched all the sexbeamage off for Omkara and that just boggles my mind.
I mean, it's Saif Ali Khan! The man exudes enough sex appeal to make you lust for the ginormous hooky nose, beady eyes, hirsuteyness, muskells galore, himbo clothes and goddamned aviators in lurid shades. *flails*
Krisma. Loads of krisma.
Apparently there's a racy love scene tween him and Bipasha in the forthcoming Race. *waggles brows* Geddit? Oh, so funny. Pity about that girl's unfortunate name but she's pretty damned hot and hopefully won't have me glowering too much at the screen but I do hope he's all lean with just a hint of stubble but not dirty flabby. Prolly will be somewhat puffy since he's quit smoking. Urgh, the 70s porn 'tache that he's sporting for the currently shooting film is so awful I instantly blanked it from my memory. One can only hope the talent will transcend the 'tache.
I have no idea why I find this pic so hot. It just ... guh ... makes my toes curl happily. One imagines if one had a tail, it would be wagging at the sight of this one pic. SEE??!! PINK!!
*sigh* Lovely Leo man. And yet again I have completely failed to do him justice.
