Ravi Shastri reviews Life of
Pi
The New Year has apparently inspired Ravi Shastri enough to make him want to diversify and channel his considerable talents into other outlets. To that end, the commentator, a self-proclaimed film buff, recently tried his hand at writing reviews.
Watching Life of Pi, one gets a feeling. Specifically, one gets a feeling that Ang Lee really pulled out all the stops in making this one. The CG imagery is as good as it gets, almost as good as the 'waiting for a decision' third-umpire graphics on the Chinnaswamy Stadium scoreboard.
As the story unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that for Pi, the main character in the film, something has got to give. The fat lady starts to sing as soon as he realises that he's trapped on a
boat with a tiger, and she doesn't let up until the film is over. Talk about putting the cat among the pigeons! I mean, the director is really mixing it up here. So, will Pi avoid a final nail in the coffin or will he find the strength to think outside the box and overcome this acid test? I don't want to give too much away but I'll just say it goes down to the wire.
PS: This is going to be touch and go
