Hi All,
This is my first entry as an article…. I got incensed to write this a lot after sitting through a 2 hrs of sheer mockery of Indian movie-goer’s IQ standards by the new movie called “Blue”….. Seriously, people, once you will come out of the movie-hall (and if you r brilliant enough to D/w it and watch it)… you will understand that the word “BLUE”, does not only signifies the clear waters of Bahamas, but, also the effects it has on intelligent members of the audiences…. It beats their brains “black and BLUES”… it even gives them the “WEEKEND BLUES”… seems to be an odd term, but, coming to think of most movies releasing every next Friday… this should be the common verbatim used for senseless movies like this…..
First of all, let me clarify that here I am giving my own opinion about the current set of movies over past few months, which have been digging newer depths of stupidity. Since, lack of places to move around in Bangalore, I have been nearly going to every movie releasing over last few months… This really makes me write this article, which deals with a major epidemic in Bollywood – “Balaji/ Ekta FLU”
It gives me a feel that this year Bollywood has not been hit by Swine Flu, but, Ekta Flu (or Balaji Flu)….. It is a new SC order that, “The movie title should be mentioned at least 500-600 times (on average) in the movie by each actor in the movie or Script-writer will be hanged till death”… As, in movies, across the genres, have actors saying it loud with strong emphasis so blandly that you can see the pain in voice of experienced guys. Examples to be quoted –
1. Luck: All actors were saying “Luck” after like every 10-20 dialogues. (For ladies & Sanju Baba , it was lesser to 3-5 dialogues)… But, this might be an effort to make audience remember which movie have they wasted money upon!!! :P
2. Blue: Well, the “Lady of the Blue” was said by Akshay Kumar like at least 50 times in front of Sanjay Dutt, to which his reaction and the “Sunken Ship surrounded by Shark Scene” was shown equal number of times.
In some cases, as proved by some really great flops and some B-grade flops, repetitions of phrases and words seems like more important than let’s say “STORY DEVELOPMENT”. A plan to create a signature statement becomes an overdose of Verbal “Roofies” ((Ref: Hangover)), which makes the audience completely forgets that why they planned to see this movie. I still get my nightmares when I think that I took my relatives to watch “Drona the Dreadful”, where Priyanka Chopra keeps relating everything to her Father’s sermons about life, love, duty, etc....
Well, I hope this article is the start of putting my CRITICAL BRAINSTORMS in words on e-paper… Hope anyone who reads this found it at least a bit informative and an attempt at satirical writing!!!
