An actor delivers not only through dialogues or body language but by expressions as well. A silent scene can emote what a dialogue cannot and expressions can emote what the whole character cannot. The scenes that I consider favorites remain testimony to this fact. I feel it is the facial expression and body language that make a character convincing and an actor - a good actor. There are two of them in recent films that are in the top spots. The first is from Love Aaj Kal (2009) when Jai (Saif Ali Khan) is talking with Veer Singh (Rishi Kapoor). He discusses how he has moved on and Meera (Deepika Padukone) will find someone else. The dialogues in this scene suggest a certain coolness that he feels with the idea but the facial expressions suggest how uncomfortable he is with the thought of her being with someone else.

Cast: Rajat Barmecha, Ronit Roy, Aayan Boradia, Ram Kapoor; Director: Vikramaditya Motwane; Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
It’s that time of the year when a new work of cinema by a new director grabs your attention by their ba.ls.
Udaan is a ballsy debut by Vikramaditya Motwane who once assisted the angst-laden Sanjay Leela Bhansali and then his angst-cousin Anurag Kashyap. You can see the lasting impression of both the senior creators in the way Motwane designs the uneasy and violent relationship between the 17-year old Rohan(Rajat Barmecha) and his tyrannical father (Ronit Roy) who’s almost villainous in his despotism.

Udaan
Parental pressure, student suicides, truant behavior among the teenagers and such other child-youth-related subjects have been overdone. But Udaan, - the Directorial debut of Vikramaditya Motwani shows us all such Parent’s Dreams versus Child’s Dreams problems in a very subtle manner.
The movie revolves around a young 17 year old boy Rohan (Rajat Barmecha), a normal teenager who likes to do everything young teenage boys are expected to do; right from running away from hostel to watch a B-grade movie to getting expelled from school for the continuous tomfoolery, unaware that these fun-filled days are soon to end. On getting expelled, Rohan returns to his hometown Jamshedpur, after almost 8 years, only to find himself trapped with a dictator-like father (Ronit Roy) and a step-brother (Aayan Boradia) whose existence is unknown to him till then. A writer at heart, and wanting to take the flight of freedom, Rohan cannot...

Film: ‘Udaan’; Director: Vikramaditya Motwane; Cast: Rajat Barmecha, Ronit Roy, Aayan Boradia, Ram Kapoor; Rating: ****
In 1959 in France, a teenage boy ran away from a juvenile home. That moment in ‘400 Blows’ was symbolic for French cinema, as with it they left the baggage of cliche behind and embraced a new, youthful vibrancy that would change cinema of the World.
Fifty years later, Hindi cinema finds itself just at that moment of epiphany with this year’s, perhaps even this decade’s best Hindi film, in ‘Udaan’. Will Hindi cinema hold on to the wings of this film and take flight?
Rohan is just another ‘average’ kid, rebellious and dreamer..
