I loved the song as soon as I heard it in the soundtrack, as the images rolled on the screen, Hrithik looked like a demi-God, and Aishwarya was a scene-stealer with her muted expressions and stunning looks, the song resonated in my ears, and the movie made me sniffle, sob, <br />and smile too.pallavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05282261312203811518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36989715.post-59687539383085283422010-12-11T01:03:54.044-08:002010-12-11T01:03:54.044-08:00Smile, in pleasure and in pain,

And a smile is all we have to make our friends' faces shine as much as our own. While Ethan, in the film 'Guzaarish' is shown trapped in his own body which, in a debilitating condition rots more and more, he just bears it all with a smile, and even when he says farewell to the world, he smiles.... a radiant smile. Thus a perfect song for the character's favorite; it's my favorite too.shivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225132196644049951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36989715.post-91265066883093602832010-11-23T08:07:11.393-08:002010-11-23T08:07:11.393-08:00Awesome, buddy!

I always knew '...Awesome, buddy! Cool updates! <br />I always knew 'Smile' as just a Michael Jackson song - as I heard it and seen the specially uploaded video of the same on Youtube, and hadn't known about the Charlie Chaplin connection, or about the use of the song in "GUZAARISH"! I am glad you mentioned all the back-story about the song.jeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461388240267201549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36989715.post-14703166103857117712010-11-23T06:23:34.476-08:002010-11-23T06:23:34.476-08:00"Guzaarish" hasn't impressed me much..."Guzaarish" hasn't impressed me much as a film; largely because I had been floored by the Alejandro Amenábar film "The Sea Inside" (Mar adentro), the life-story of Spaniard Ramón Sampedro. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Guzaarish" is definitely inspired by it, though not exactly a photocopy of the same, and the comparisons are inevitable. It is such comparisons that was the undoing of Sanjay's film, according to me. However, the soundtrack of the film, and the album (which should have carried the label 'Music from and inspired by the film'), floored me. I was absolutely thrilled by the use of the sounds and the diverse voices, and the songs might not have 'chartbuster quality' yet they appeal to our ears and our hearts. The song 'Smile' - used in the film, but not in the album - has a life of its own and a unique history at that too. And, the song made my heart bounce in ecstasy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179681389332642207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36989715.post-5283188400264777572010-11-23T01:23:34.515-08:002010-11-23T01:23:34.515-08:00I told you on Facebook that I loved the film. And ...I told you on Facebook that I loved the film. And am ecstatic to read this blogpost of yours on the song 'Smile' - used evocatively in the film. Thanks for the same, buddy. I found all the songs used in the soundtrack of the film simply fabulous. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is so much like Raj Kapoor, the legendary filmmaker, who would so deftly craft the movies around the immortal melodies of Shankar-Jaikishan (and other composers, later on). For the first time, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has composed music for his film and the end-result is the superbly produced soundtrack album of 'Guzaarish'. There are some songs in the album which have not been used in the film, yet they too are my favorites. They grow slowly on one's senses and ultimately mesmerizes by their sheer magical melody. <br />However, 'Smile' and 'What a wonderful world' are two songs from the film which are not to be found on the music album, as they aren't compositions for the movie, but are featured handsomely in the film's narrative. Due credit has been given in the end-credits for both. While 'Smile' has been sung for the film by Dominique Cerejo, and opens the film with the protagonist suffering with dignity and with a smile on his lips, the other favorite track of mine, 'What a wonderful world' (the famous Louis Armstrong jazz ballad, written by Bob Thiele & George David Weiss) has been used no less brilliantly in film, especially Hrithik Roshan's rendition of the song at the graveyard. <br />I wish in an extended version of the film's soundtrack, later on, both these songs get published, along with the background pieces.Krishhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15579109056198365742noreply@blogger.com
