Bollywood calling??

Yup...that does it!! It's all done. No one from my college in their right minds is gonna watch a film which i recommend ever again!!

Its not that I have the best track record to boast of. First I drag two of my (highly) unfortunate buds along for Saawariya. The canvas was not the only thing which was blue after that film...if you get my drift!! Then came the Jodhaa-Akbar debacle!! The icing on the cake was Tashan...for which I dragged a bunch of my unsuspecting south Indian collegemates. All they knew bout the film was that it had been produced by the same banner which made DDLJ!!

Then Singh is Kinng. And today, Bachna Ae Haseeno!! Dont get me wrong....i love most of these films!!! I thought Tashan was trash, but as entertaining as an elephant bungee-jumping from the Empire State Building. Singh is Kinng was a modern masterpiece of Singhs, Kings and Katrina...and as a P2 (Pakka Punjabi) I adored it!! Bachna Ae Haseeno had an excellent Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha, Minisha Lamba, good songs, Bipasha, stunning locales, good humour...did I mention Bipasha??

But of course....the lovers of high-class, snooty-whatitsname, possible Oscar-nominee films that my collegemates are....they hated each and every one of the above films. Well, most of them did...and the bunch that is on my side are too small (bodystructure-wise) to really provide me much protection against the larger (bodystructure-wise) group!

But I shall persevere!! Since time immemorial there has been a man who has dragged along his unsuspecting friends to every Bollywood movie running in the nearest theatre, no matter how awful the film (as long as theres a hot item number, some reference to butter chicken and an assassination or two). [dark knight theme music begins]

This man has been cursed at. This man has been misunderstood. [picks up pace]

For this generation, I am such a man.... [reaches a rousing crescendo]

My time has come. [ends with a dramatic flourish]

And....cut!!!
