Masakali Masakali

The movie begins with a well picturised scene of a hospital which compels the audience to guess the relationship between the various actors. It is only a couple of scenes later that you realize that Waheeda Rehman was Abhishek’s grandma while Tanvi Azmi was his mom and not that Waheeda playing Abhishek’s mom and Tanvi his sister, something which many predicted.

Jokes apart, now time to get serious. Does anybody know what Dilli 6 refers to? Actually It refers to the six different types of CHAAT, a speciality of the Delhi fooding especially of the Chandni Chowk side. But however, there wasn’t any mention of the six chaat types.

In the movie, the story revolves around the Kaala bandar, as how his presence disupted the peace in this small locality of Old Delhi. However, the poor guy was not even once credited in the entire movie. The first half of the movie was somewhat bearable but the second half was extremely beepiyaap. I wasn’t the only one sleeping in the hall, but a couple dozen more were snorting (as a close source informed)

The movie does talk about six issues troubling the Delhi culture and society (not only Delhi, but the entire nation) ::

1. Delhites are obsessed with Delhi. They wanted to live here, they wanted to die here and in my case, marry a girl from Delhi.

2. The intra-family dispute between two brothers hampering the life of their younger sister.

3. The unity among the people of a locality.

4. The superstitious beliefs and the orthodox caste system that is still prevalent in the country.

5. The communal riots between the various religious sects arising out of nowhere (they want to fight just for the sake of fighting)

6. People believe whatever they hear to be true, without investigating.

If i was to be the critic, i would have given the movie only one star and that too because of the work of A.R Rahman, otherwise the movie was a total flop and was still way behind the earlier Rakyesh Om Prakash Mehra flick , RANG DE BASANTI.

Sonam Kapoor was much better in SAAWARIYA (i had no choicebut to say this) and Abhishek Bachchan’s role was totally useless. The only part i like in the movie, apart from the songs, was explaination GOBAR gave to his justify his act of always picking two one-rupee coins instead of one ten-rupee note,”Agar ek baar yeh note utha liya toh sikke bhi band ho jaayenge (i even won’t get the coins if i picked up the note)”

P.S :: Don’t dare to watch the movie.

Identity Crisis

Just a few more months and I’ll be off my teenage. But, the only question that still haunts me is that who exactly Am I??

For the bloggers I am the BEAST while for the footie and hockey players in my institute I m the GOALIE. Among the civilians, I am famous as the TRAITOR and the Prondis call me as the TECHNICAL BEEP. My family and friends know me as KAKU while the professors call me ZERO SEVEN ZERO ONE THREE THREE (070133). My teachers in school use to call me NITYA’S BROTHER while the teachers at Brilliant Tutorials recognize me as DHAI SAW GRAM (250 g). The neighbors back at home know me as SHOBHAJI’S SON.

 

PV, who is seriously addicted to Shakespeare and his world, calls me MARCUS BRUTUS (perhaps he thinks of himself as JULIUS CAESER and his “best” pal AA as MARC ANTHONY). I ain’t a good ORATOR, nor a good FLIRT and certainly not a RACIST. For the girl in pink, I am an IDIOT and for the one in red kurta, I am MAD and CRAZY. For TCS, I am a PARAPLEGIC and for the ghost, I am strictly INSANE. Few people call me as the FARZEE SCORPIO, many disagree while many people call me FARZEE BANIYA and only a few disagree.

 

Hardly people know my real name. Or I put this way; I haven’t told many people my real name. Perhaps I am too afraid to face this materialistic world and that is the reason, I prefer a clandestine identity. One man, different names. But what is his true identity. A question that is too be answered. And it has to be answered pretty early.

 

P.S.  This is my shortest blog and the most useless too…
