I have been wanting to write about this movie for a long time.

From the day when I was stuffed with 20 other film fanatics to understand the nuances of film making in a film appreciation workshop in Mumbai ..my whole outlook towards film making had changed. After that whenever I saw a film I would relate to -the screenplay/sequence/music / climax / characterisation/the technology . . ..and so on and so forth.

For me if I enjoy a film (or a book) the end is not after the last shot. It's actually the start to understand the director - bios / background / filmography etc etc.

Crash - This is one film which in my mind was almost perfect. From the first screen to the last - it was almost like symphony. How the characters & the incidents mesh in the end. The characters and their background - the subtle explanation of why each of them are the way they are (without getting into a flashback).

The task was difficult especially with so many characters and each of them having their own stories to say.....If u see Salaam Namaste....u can realize what a mess it can become.
