Boot Polish (2007)
Bollywood Please come to Hollywood you are fantastic
Finally a film director from Pakistani/Indian Origin is making waves in the film industry and he is a Muslim as well! I am so proud that an Asian director most definitely can make it big in Hollywood!!!! BOOT POLISH is a fantastic short film, wow it made me cry. I have never been so moved by a short film in my life. This film really is something special and the director Aneel Ahmad should come to America and make cross-over films. I also love him and his work.
I went to its screener (small venue) with a mixture of friends both White and Asian and we all loved this short film. It looked really expensive and the sets and costumes were brilliant.
The best thing about Boot Polish was that it was a well made short about a shoe shine boy and a beautiful courtesan. The boy was absolutely fantastic. I also like the scene when the courtesan was thrown to the floor and the boy was hit to the ground. Symbolic..... then the musical score began to play and the boy was holding his stomach, It was emotional and we Asians love films about love hope and tragedy. I still personally feel that Boot Polish is a mixture of Bollywood and its not just an Art House film.
The music was fantastic and the dance sequence was really powerful and symbolic.
Why isn't this film a feature film I asked myself? I totally agree with other comments, Boot Polish reminded me of the Block Busters such as Devdas & Mughal-E-Azam.
I don't understand the concept of short films? Clearly this was a film made by a professional team, and certainly the director knew what he was doing? Why isn't this film a feature? I also wanted to know if it would be for sale in the US? Ohhh I so love this film Boot Polish it was so emotional.
Please, please, please UNIVERSAL PICTURES make this film into a Feature! Its absolutely fantastic.
I also want Aneel Ahmad's autograph Woooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Isn't he handsome, he is so gorgeous :) I went onto his website, wooooaaahhhh hes a real HOTTY! Aneel Ahmad pleassssssssssssseee come to Hollywood and make films here! I really loved Boot Polish, please come! Also can anyone let me know on IMDb how to get his autograph????? I went onto his website and sent him an email.
100 out of 10!!! I love this short film, it should be made into a feature film.
