Boot Polish (2007)
Ahmad is very talented - 10-10
I watched this short film and I enjoyed it.
Boot Polish is not a romantic film, its also not a Bollywood film. This film is Art House with a mixture of mainstream cinema.
Congratulations to Aneel Ahmad for getting shortlisted (20) at the Middle East Film festival this year 2007,
I have heard that the programmer was very competitive. I don't have any personal links with the festival or links with the panel(So please don't email me), but i got to see the film via a friend on DVD.
I will say that Boot Polish is one of those films that stands out because its cinematic and the story is simple. Its beautiful, i personally liked the music and the courtesans dance. There is a lot of symbolism in this film which will remind you of Merchant Ivory Productions. They Boys performance was very good, and there are some good emotional scenes the stealing of the bread.
Ahmad will go far in the film industry let me say this. Other film directors will come and go. But this director not only is very talented, he seems to have a down to earth(superstar) personality.
Ahmad should be proud that his film was shortlisted and look towards the future. Sometimes selection is not because the film or the director doesn't have talent, sometimes projects are selected for various reasons.
Well done to him and the entire Boot Polish Team.
Keep going Aneel Ahmad - If you are reading comments on IMDb, don't lose your faith, you are exceptionally talented - You have a huge fan-base in the Middle East.
Keep going and well done
Very good 10-10
