Movies Aaj Kal...
Though Bollywood produces the maximum number of films per annum, we still can’t seem to think much beyond the boy meets girl- falls in love- separate- reunite formula!
Our movies have always been larger than life, but it is madness if we simply let all logic and reason go down the drain. Going by the recent trend in movies, the more mindless the merrier, I personally haven’t ever had the good fortune of seeing a couple dancing around trees as yet, something that must happen in every movie at least once, wherein these days foreign locales or beaches usually replace the much clichéd trees.
A certain director RGV recently came up with a film on the super-natural but writing a script apparently seemed like the last thing on his mind. The super-natural power suddenly comes from nowhere, roams around a jungle, kills people without a reason, can’t be seen by anybody, and is so ‘agyaat’ that even the director seems to be pretty clueless about what’s happening! The lead actress is busy desperately pouting in the background but is hardly noticed by the audience who were half-asleep by then. The supposedly horror flick manages to give us occasional laughs but the next thing we see on the screen is that there’s gonna be a sequel to the movie very soon, which alone is enough to make us squeal in horror!
It’s high time for us to move over actors like Sonam and Deepika whose idea of emoting is essentially showing their dimpled cheeks to the camera and I guess SRK could try not being happy-go-lucky for once. On celluloid, college goers are mostly all dolled up, ready to party and manage to find their love interests on the very first day. In front of them, my college days seem to be quite wasted! Being an optimist that I am, I hope better sense prevails soon and our actors & directors stop being so frivolous and start treating movie-making as serious business. Till then, hum hain rahi pyar ke, phir milenge chalte chalte…
