My Tryst with B-Grade Cinema

-----------------------------------------------------------

Well.. writing blog after quite some time now...but nothing great happened as such to write about... so probably that expalins the lull period...

I am generally not a movie buff.. and am definitely not the type that gets into the debate of

Which movie is better??

...or the classical question of ...

How to improve indian cricket??...

but that doesn't mean i don't glance at the posters on the movie hall from the corner of my eye...

This time i went and watched something most people dont watch.. a bhojpuri film...

any Oooohhhh!!, Chiiiii Chiiiii!!, Shhehhh!!, Yuckkk!! and Wow!! are all allowed expressions!!.. infact that itself is a reason enough to watch..

Some titles i have see displayed over past few weeks includes
Tu Hamaar Hau and Bhaiya Anari Bhauji Khiladi
(dont look for any spelling mistakes... its absolutely perfect)

But the speciality of the week was

"Didi Tohaar Dever Deewana"


I thougt its just a title but after a few minutes into the movie i realized its a remake of our very own Hum aapke hain kaun.

But another few minutes into the movie... and thats where director's copying ability challenged itself...

...the story twisted a bit and there was a villian in the movie... unlike our very homely HAHK

..then the story took another sharp turn with salman saying no to marriage and the heroine trying suicide ...but being the hero... our salman dutifully jumps in the river and ofcourse saves her... and love is restored!!

The next twist was parents fighting over dowry.. and our salman khan (ok.. who ever) left for Iraq to fetch dowry for his own marriage to his own father.

Now the story was becoming really interesting!!!

At this point the director comes out with what people have paid for... an item number... now that doesnot mean that others weren't... probably the "item content" was better here... and i could see people appreciating the camera man's hint of pornographic intentions!!
:)

back to serious note...

Ohh.. where were we???

yeah... then the director really challenges the standard indian storyline and instead on renuka shahane dying of labor pain... the hero himself dies in iraq in some incident.

After this very unfortunate incident, the focus of the movie shifts and the villian again comes in and tries to kidnap the heroine and tries to rape her (without which the movie i believe would have been incomplete for its target audience!)
:)

but the director suddenly comes to his senses and revives the hero from the dead to fight the evil of this planet. (read minister's son)

Then from somewhere you hear the shout..

"Babbbbuuuaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

and the hero's brother also joins him whose only major appearance so far has been a lewd dance with his so called wife.. but this time he seems pretty angry and fights like a real warrior...

and as u check ur wrist watch at this time.. u realize that inspite of all those irritating songs which are packed like anything in the film..u still have managed to pass around 2.5 hrs.. and then someone opens the door for the exit (for the huge crowd of around 15 people) and you realize that due to time constraints there will not be any more twists.

so our extremely talented & creative director director now has to resist the temptation of any further twists... which he can anyways save for his next film..

okkk...now like a good mba student i feel like summarizing in points..

:)


• That feeling never goes wrong in indian cinema... the moment u see the clock you can predict rest of the movie with fair bit of accuracy :)

• Anyways.. the iritating part was the number of songs which were packed in .. and the only hope was the bits of actual movie that was there inbetween...

• The hero apparently was the closest to salman that they could manage to find!!

• And the heroine was tolerabe only till...

[She wore western] AND [Kept her mouth absolutely shut] !!!



Overall very good timepass if u have a group of guys who can make real fun out of it :)

Now dont expect more such reviews... i am not a Bad Boy to watch such films ;)


Enjoy!!
