Dear Mr. Habib Faisal;
Just returned home after catching a dekko of your latest venture "Daawat-e-Ishq" and must say that I am sorely disappointed at the utter banality and mediocrity on display for the best part of two hours......
While there is no doubting the credentials of a film maker who gave us such gems as Ishaqzaade and Do Dooni Char in the recent past; one was sad to see you succumbing to the lure of the lucre in your latest venture and pulling your punches while one expected a roundhouse punch that would have left the audience gasping for air from you........
Mr. Faisal will you kindly take the time out and explain how the female protagonist of your latest venture Parineeti Chopra or then should I say Gulrez/Sania switch her conscience off and on at will as I am utterly confused as to how a woman who supposedly falls in love with the male protagonist (Aditya Roy Kapoor) in Lucknow does not pay heed to the pangs of her conscience in Lucknow but does just the opposite as soon as she lands on terra firma........
Can you enlighten me on the exact or precise reason why her conscience gets the better of her in Hyderabad and she takes a considered view to return the 80 odd lakh rupees that she ensnares from the gullible and believing Aditya Roy Kapoor when she swears that she wants to seek revenge from the male sex for slighting her and her doting father (Anupam Kher) by rejecting her as her pater is unable to cater to their exorbitant and unreasonable demands for dowry or "help" as one set of parents terms it.........
Or better still why don't you teach me how to switch on and off my conscience at will as the same has cost me many a sleepless night and made me question my motives and the causes for/behind my actions more times than I can care to remember.........
One shudders to think what might have happened to your latest venture if the three main protagonists of your utterly banal, nondescript, banal and utterly mediocre venture had not risen above the sham of a script and screenplay and delivered utterly convincing and believable performances that will remain in the hearts and minds of audiences for some time to come..........
You also owe a debt of gratitude to your music directors Sajid Wajid as well as lyricist Kausar Munir for having gone beyond their call of duty and having delivered a tour de force that will rule over the charts; airwaves and loudspeakers until the next substantial soundtrack comes along.........
All one would like to say in conclusion is that one expects a lot more from a film maker of substance like you; here's wishing you the very best for your next venture and hoping that you will pay far more attention to the script and screenplay of your next directorial venture rather than copping out while dealing with a sensitive and controversial subject like section 498 (A) of the Indian Penal Code that has been lauded as well as berated in equal measure by the proponents and opponents of the same.........
Hoping that you will take this well meaning advice on board; I remain........
Yours Faithfully;
Sundeep Chopra........
