Gosh?there was a time (heck just yesterday) when I would have given him 4 stars and not 3, but what can one do? The dude?s personality also needs to be taken into account and here is his recent weak point.
You know, I?ve always liked Saif?if not for his acting, then for his whole ?family man? reputation. I mean, he married Amrita Singh, an actress older than him, and also, in my opinion, a little less beautiful, but then I thought, ?Wow! This Saif guy must be so different than all those shallow freaks out there!? My respect for him increased! I mean, I knew that Amrita was a better actress, no seriously, just watch Aaina! Also her role in Shaheed was perfect!
Anyways, it was like as if Saif was the kind of deep and mature guy any girl would love to have and all his photos with his family proved that he was a family man. You know, he loved his daughter and his son?but his recent behaviour has just disgusted me.
What with all his affairs?and now, he?s frozen all of his joint accounts with Amrita, has left his family to go on some stupid commercial tour?I mean, hello? Where are your values Saif? Is fame more important or your family? sigh
Anyways, moving on from my babbling, a lot of these movies aren?t in chronological order, like I?ve tried but if it?s wrong, please tell me so I can fix it. =)
Yeh Dillagi
He was the aloof brother, the playboy type, well to whatever ?playboyish? extent a hero in the early 1990s could get. I reckon he acted pretty well, although of course I loved Akki better, but Saif was still good?funny as hell.
I loved ?Ole Ole?, I mean not his character?s character, but just the song and his dancing, and besides I was too young to know anything about the feminist perspective!
Naam Kya Hai was also a mad song picturised on him and Kajol.
A Khiladi Anardi movie
I?m not sure, but I?m guessing he came in at least one of the movies titled ?khiladi? with Akki. He of course added in the light humour, never really had much scope to act out a serious role that required emotional strength. But, he was funny and that?s all yet in those days, you know, there was that emphasis, leave comedy to the comics etc. But of course things have changed.
Hum Saath Saath Hain
Well, I didn?t like this movie, but I loved Salman?s character and I also like Saif?s acting in this, but of course, once again, it was not a ?mature? role I mean even though near the end he acted in two or three emotional scenes, but no, he just couldn?t do them as well. He was just there to provide the laughs?sigh sometimes comedic personas just get sidelined?
Na Tum Jaano Na Hum
Yet again, a playboy and of course funny. The scene where he?s trying to describe to Hrithik all of his girlfriends and relates them to food is quite funny. But it?s quite annoying as well, in each and every film; he?s a playboy, little regard for women and is funny. That?s it.
Dil Chahta Hai
This movie recognised him, he was totally funny, especially his jokes about the timetable guy! But guess what? He still played the good looking playboy. Far out. No versatility. Although he was very efficient with the role, no one could have done it better than him, but man, always this role?
Kal Ho Na Ho
Well, of course this movie was a huge hit, and more so with Saif playing along as the supporting actor. He was a playboy yes, he was good looking, yes, and he was funny, yes. However, the gay jokes got a little bit tiring after a while.
Anyways, he also had a chance to show some emotions and he displayed them quite well I must say. He looked the best when he was showing some emotion and not just making you laugh. Although I love him in his scene with SRK with the ?6 din ladki in? (6 days girl in your face)-I still can?t believe that?s the English name they gave it!
Ek Haseena Thi
Why do I think that this was his best work till date? Maybe because his role was negative? Maybe. Maybe because you finally got to see that this guys had more acting skills than just making people laugh. Although, it may be useful to note that even here, he is shown as to be the good looking playboyish kinda guy. All the time? But heck, he was the villain, and he acted damn good! Unfortunately this one didn?t kinda sizzle at the B.O, but oh well.
Hum Tum
Yes?guess what kinda role he plays here?yeps! You guessed it! A playboyish kinda guy whose good looking and funny. Although, I loved it when they showed him maturing, I was kinda glad that well, least he knows a little bit on acting! Yes, great work!
Also other films he acted in like ?Love Ke Liye?? I haven?t included because I have not seen them or I don?t remember them.
But if anyone could, could they please tell me the name of his movie and how he was reincarnated?like he fell of some cliff and then came to life in the form of reincarnation or something.
But yeah you know, he?s good looking, smashing good looks but his selection of movies and personality have caused a dent. I mean, I don?t know why I gave him 3 stars?but you see, something stopped me from giving him 2?but then again, something would stop me from giving Kareena a full zero (and I know that that?s not possible since lowest is one)!
But, all these comments made by him about J.P Dutta and then how what he said about Amrita. I mean what he said about loving her but not being in love with her maybe true, but does he have to make it public and thus, hurt her more? Seriously man, grow up! You?re hurting your kids as well by all these women?and how you?ve bought another flat somewhere in Mumbai.
You?ve been married since 1991 I think and I mean, does it pay to end such a bond? And man, the other ladies in his life, will you feel safe with him? I mean don?t they say??once a cheater, always a cheater??
I mean look at Tom?he ended his first marriage because of his affair with Nicole then he ended his marriage with Nicole due to Penelope?sigh
Saif, your film career is blossoming, the industry has recognised you, you?re good, you?re a hunk?but you?re a loser. I can?t believe I?m saying this, because I used to really like you?flirt.
These kinds of actions are just?yeah; even Amir Khan has lost some of the respect I had for him due to his infidelity.
I mean some say that you should separate personal and professional, yeah you should, but you see, your personal life, your actions there are your true self?and if you?re a shallow freak, then well, it?s bound to come up some time in your professional career. I don?t know, but I like to know a little bit more about a film star before I give them full stars.
Dear Saif... I hope you patch things up coz marriage is a blessing and affairs are just black tainted pieces of ----?but you know, maybe you don?t deserve Amrita and your gorgeous little kids?yes, only time will tell! And no one is, especially you, is ?Saif? from Samay.
Anyways, hope you guys weren?t bored! Plus, this is stupid, I have to 'recommend' or 'not recommend' a human being to a friend?? That's crazy. =)
Ciao!
Ena
