Princess Aurora 7.2/10
A mom's revenge for her daughter's rape and murder. A known premise but executed differently. The mom becomes a serial killer here!
But I would anyday prefer Messiah: The Harrowing for movies on such concepts. Where Messiah had a convincing storyline (IMO Dexter season 6 was inspired by it), brilliant acting and neat screenplay, "Princess Aurora" was a bit loose. Sure the flashback scene is heartbreaking but the whole movie can't be excused for that particular scene.
And, the asylum scene is obviously inspired by "The Bride Wore Black"
Socha Na Tha 7/10
When this movie released it was highlighted that its a launchpad for another Deol. Till Jab We Met released I continued ignoring this movie solely of that reason. I should have watched this long ago.
Today when I saw this movie it never looked like an Imtiaz Ali movie, where in his latest movies he focused on love, pain and feelings more, here the focus is more on family values and drama. I'm sure he were forced to alter the original script under some pressure.
And, who the hell wrote the dialogues for this movie? total noobish approach.
Songs are misplaced but few scenes shows the spark of genius that the Imtiaz we know of today.
At times I found this so similar with "Jab We Met", may be that is what he wanted to make first time instead made this one. A nice watch though. Common, conventional, bollywoodish run-of-the-mill movie. Thus it failed at the box office.
Also, Abhay Deol hammed.
//As people know about "Joker" now, Sirish Kunder was editor of this movie, could be another reason of its failure.
