Notable Role (5/1000): John Abraham (Jism)

I saw the movie Jism, after over 5 years of its release. I appreciate the direction and the music as well. But above all, I was inspired by the performance of John Abraham (playing the role of an alcoholic lawyer- Kabir), who lives a playboy lifestyle. 

No doubt, it was his first movie, yet he performed his share best in this movie. Specially his style of smoking and lighting the cigarette, that probably inspired youth to adopt smoking as a style statement. 

I suggest you to go watch the video of the songs Aawarapan Banjarapan and Shikaayat Hai to notice his in-depth performance (notably, the scene in which he feels guilty of committing a murder and cries below the shower of his bathroom).

Madras Cafe: Movie of the year

It was the year 2004, when I was impressed with the performance of Kabir (John Abraham) in the movie Dhoom. Again it was the year 2006, when I was impressed the role of John Abraham in the copyright-infringing flick Zinda.

But his recent performance in the movie Madras Cafe proves his worth and the worth of his production house. In my opinion, this movie deserved a nomination from India for Academy Awards (Oscar). Failing such nomination, I think India has lost its hope of winning accolades at Oscar. It was one of the best movie on the diplomatic realities and the role of RAW.

Also, I can't forget the song Maula Sun Le Re, one of best songs of the year.
