LA LA Land - Land of dreams and alternate destiny

I hate musicals. I nearly gave up watching la la land. The glowing reviews and multiple nominations that it received made me reconsider my decision. Here I am reviewing the movie to let the world know how it good it was. I know, I'm a very late comer. The movie got soul and I got no words to describe the ending. 

The movie has got a very simple plot about two people who want to pursue their respective dreams. They meet, they respect each others' interests, fall in love, help themselves, part ways to pursue and fulfill their dreams. But it wasn't a song and dance affair like other musicals. The balance was neat with the drama unfolding in a beautiful way. The songs bring out the emotions in an elegant manner and transport you right into the picture.   

The movie is sure to let the sensitive souls teary-eyed in the end. It is bound to remain in your hearts for a long time. I won't be surprised if it hijacks the oscars.
