"can somebody please turn off the movie screen?"

watched a couple of movies last week. the second movie was a bit of surprise 'coz I didn't think I'll be able to survive the first one. lets begin.


1. Movie - Fanaa
Slogan - Destroyed in movie halls

Summary - "Terrorist falls for a visually impaired girl. Gets toasted by the visually impaired girl."

English is a very inexpressive language. It can not convey the pain of wave of emotions that hit me when I remember my very uncomfortable 3 hours watching this movie.

Aamir ("Rihaan") is tourist guide in Delhi, now I have been to places and I have seen guides, Aamir did not look, act or sound like a guide. infact, he could be mistaken for a road side romeo - complete with trite shayaris and over the top hamming. The way the guy tries to grab the poor blind girl in every other frame looks like an eve-teasing FIR waiting to happen. But, our poor blind girl is more than happy to encourage his acts.
To cut the crap, Aamir woos the girl, gets her, does her, dumps her. Kajol (who we all know is the most fertile actress ever - remember "Dil kya kare"?) gets pregnant before Aamir dumps her.
It turns out Aamir is actually a terrorist working for an outfit called IKF - Incredibly Kontrived Force। IKF fights both India and Pakistan (hey, we wanna make money there too); is controlled by a guy called "Nana Jaan" and has a single soldier in its army. The soldier ofcourse is Aamir (whose name unbelievingly actually is "Rihaan", talk about going under-cover).

Slept after that.


p.s. this post was in draft for way too long, so gave it some breathing space.

kyon apna ho kar bhi begana sa lagta hai ab mera yeh desh?

kyon nahi bhaati ab mujhe woh pehli barsaat ki khusboo
kyon nahi bharta hai gaurav mujhmein ab woh rashtra-geet ka sandesh
kyon ab lagta hai ab mit jayega mera astitva ya jo kuchch hai ab shesh
kyon apna ho kar bhi begana sa lagta hai ab mera yeh desh?

manzilein kabhi thi raston ke dooje chhor pe,
manzilein ab bhi wahin hain, badla hai bas rasto ke bhesh
beech mein ab hai ik khaai, dono taraf ab eershya aur klesh
kyon apna ho kar bhi begana sa lagta hai ab mera yeh desh?
