Musings on '96, the movie...

Some moments in life are ruled by external factors and circumstances. A beautiful moment is given another direction. A nudge... Sometimes for the good. Sometimes for not so good.

Few moments are frozen in memories like photos taken of a bird frozen in flight just off its perch from a temple pond.

Time moves on but life disagrees.

And a beloved's fragrance is as treasured as his school uniform shirt. As her drenched dresses.

And the heart shatters into 1008 pieces. While another heart beats loud and clear.

Can we faint in love? Instead of falling?

This movie focuses on when 'what if' and 'if only' collides with reality.

'96 is that kind of film, which makes you want to travel back to that era before Instagram and FB made you a star in your own life.

Some movies play well on screen. This one, honestly, doesn't.

'96 is that kind of film, which plays the better movie inside your heart where a violin tugs at your memories' rain-soaked bittersweet strings.
