Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (Never Say Good Bye) will be shown on Tuesday, February 23, at 6:00 p.m., in the Library classroom, 2nd floor. Victoria DiMuzio, sophomore, ASL, will introduce the film and moderate a post-viewing question & answer session. The faculty advisor for this event is Dr. Barbara Cook. This film is the second in the Spring 2010 series.
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna is a 2006 Bollywood (India) film set and mostly filmed in New York City. It is a romantic drama which explores themes of adultery and extramarital affairs. Still, as Victoria states, “in Bollywood movies, it is considered provocative if the lead characters kiss so, although this film does involve scandal and portrays intimate moments, these elements are far more discreetly presented than in most American films.” Victoria has long been a fan of Bollywood movies in which dancing and singing always enhance the story. She states that, “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna has some of everything - love, hurt, respect, dancing, singing, and so much culture. I believe that it shows that life is not always a dream and that there are many realities that we must constantly face and must deal with no matter what our culture.” Amazon.com reviewers describe the film as, “A Must See”, “A Great Love Story” and “Undeniably Excellent.”
The last film in the series, Tae Guk Gi – The Brotherhood of War, will be presented on March 23. The student moderator will be Ji Eun Kim. Dr. Natalie van Breukelen will serve as faculty advisor.
Attendance may count as a CLS convocation. Check with individual instructors. Please contact Shamim Rajpar, srajpar@mtaloy.edu or 886-6442, if additional information is needed.
