Guzaarish , is a story set in Goa about a quadriplegia , Ethan Mascarenhas , one of the finest magicians of the time.
The protagonist played by Hrithik Roshan , has dealt with his injury with great spirit and a will to live. He has his own radio show where the message of hope is shared with one and all.
Aishwarya plays Sophia , Ethan's caretaker for past 12 years , who with utmost dignity has been his shadow.
Ethan and Sophia share an inseparable unspoken love which is indeed beautiful and lively.
One fine day , Ethan urges to file a petition for euthanasia. His doctor Dr. Nayak, played ably by Suhel Seth and lawyer friend Divyani played by Shernaz Patel are taken aback by his decision.
There in lies the crux of the plot where his sufferings and pain surrounding his paralyzed life is bought to light.
He shares a unique bond with each character which has been beautifully crafted around the magician's life.
Doctor : A human whose profession is to give life to people.
Lawyer : A Friend and a well-wisher , who has seen the adversity of Ethan.
Nurse : A dignified worker , who has dedicated all her life towards the betterment of Ethan.
Mother : Heart wrenching emotions of a mother who wants to set her son free.
Lover : Sacrificial love of his muse and assistant
Disciple : A Young , vibrant student of his idol's craft.
The film from the repertoire of Mr. Bhansali is extraordinary in the sense of trademark Anglo-Indian setup with artistic sets and high-emotional moments straight from the heart.
Screenplay moves along nicely with sweet moments intermingled with poignant scenes which connect with the plight of Ethan.
Mr Bhansali has composed his own music this time around, and what a splendid debut it is indeed.
Udi , Sau Gram Zindagi , Dhundli Dhundli , Chand ki Katori are mesmerizing!
Performances, exemplary by Aishwarya , epitome of grace , poise and dignity!
Hrithik's best , his magical innocence and his pain juxtaposes!
Absolutely crackling bond between the two , tacit romance at its best.
Supporting cast gets a thumbs up and special mention goes to Aditya Roy Kapoor as the one of the upcoming actors to watch out for in the future!
I have a lump in my throat writing this and was teary eyed at the end of it all :(
A powerful film with a message which is heart felt to the extremity!
Rating : 4.5/5.0

The word masterpiece is just not good enough for Guzaarish!
The only film where life itself is the villain. It has become my favourite movie of all times!
Truly was an emotional journey!
