(1998)<img src="http://www.uiowa.edu/%7Eincinema/dilse.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />DIL SE ("From the heart")1998, 155 minutes, Hindi.Produced and directed by Mani RatnamMusic: A. R. Rahman; Lyrics: GulzarIf the state of the world has you on edge, why not escape with one of those famously-fantastic "Bollywood" extravaganzas, such as this one (complete with eminently-hummable score and some great dancing) about...a terrorist suicide bomber...?Since becoming a crossover success in Hindi with NAYAKAN ("Boss," 1987, a dubbed version of his award-winning Tamil film starring Kamal Haasan) South Indian director Mani Ratnam has made a series of controversial mainstream films that touch on potent contemporary issues: the bloody Kashmir secession conflict (ROJA, 1992) and the Bombay Hindu-Muslim riots of 1993 (BOMBAY, 1994). His fourth Hindi film, DIL SE, is a spectacular and disturbing romance set against a background of insurgent and counter-insurgent violence in the eastern Himalayan region, and the threat of national disintegration, especially following the 1991 assassination of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi by a female suicide-bomber. Criticized by audiences for its highly-unorthodox denouement, it has also won staunch fans for this and other nonstandard features.<img src="http://www.uiowa.edu/%7Eincinema/DilSe7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.uiowa.edu/%7Eincinema/DilSe8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The stunning outdoor cinematography by cameraman Santosh Sivan spans the subcontinent from Himalayan snowfields and the high-altitude deserts of Ladakh to the palm-fringed backwaters of Kerala to offer, in a jarring counterpoint to the screenplay, a nakha-shikha ("head to toe") portrait of the body of Bharat Mata (the nation personified as mother goddess), evoking the Indian national anthem's sweeping catalog of geographic and ethnic regions. Similarly, A. R. Rahman's brilliant, hypnotic score melds folk rhythms, Indo-Persian ghazal imagery, and rap-style declamation into another parallel plot, here a portrait of obsessive and doomed love. The dreamlike song "pictureizations," brilliantly choreographed by Farah Khan—from the spectacular opening song Chala chayya chayya, set atop a train speeding through the mountains—seem dissociated, even by Hindi-film standards, from the screenplay, further heightening the overall sense of dis-location, and suggesting the impossibility of realizing romantic fantasy in the midst of oppressive contemporary realities.<img src="http://www.uiowa.edu/%7Eincinema/DilSe1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Shahrukh Khan plays a frenetic New Delhi yuppie named Amar (ironically, this means "immortal"), an All India Radio reporter dispatched to the hills to collect sunny news stories on the theme of "what 50 years of Independence [celebrated in 1997] have done for you." Instead, he finds barbed wire, bombs, bitterness....and secessionist ethnic rebels.     Download     [CODE]PART 1http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6ZRRE6LIPART 2http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HHFBGPI5PART 3http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E5K0OP31PART 4http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E6V7KXN3PART 5http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MBVSPWGNPART 6http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GEGFP7IHPART 7http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CIOU1TXYPART 8http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GTSWG8Z4[/CODE]</blockquote>
