“Bole Bachchan, Bol-Bachchan !!” :)…..
Hiyaa my Sweets, howz u all doing ?!….. :)
Gearing up for the ruthless Monday again I guess !!
...siigh…haa yaar….what to do….Tomorrow never comes but Monday does…every week !! :(((
Chalo koi nai…one bright side is that, once it comes, it has to eventually go….and pave way for the coming weekend !! so don’t fret guys….
Haan toh mai kahaa thi….yes !! wo kya hua ki, this weekend I managed to finally take out time to be theatre borne tagging along with my Phamily !! thank fully, we could procure tickets for this fateful movie ie Bol Bachchan……well, I say ‘thankfully’ here not because I was dyyyyyyying to see a movie of technical excellence or some classiest cinema doing the rounds….how could that be when I had heard all negative about it till then and yes, I had actually made up my mind that this movie was nothing but the tv show Comedy Circus on a larger scale, and would be even more difficult to jhelo for more than 2 full hrs…
…..i say thankfully because my 5 yr old sonny boy with his sis had already reached the ticket window and was Jumping up and down non stop, chanting endlessly….bol bachchan bol bachchan bol bachchan……so if I had so much as uttered the name of any other movie then, it would have been the End of my peace of mind……and true to this, he did dampen his antics a bit only when he heard his father’s voice announcing the name to the boy on the other side of the window…and it was only after this that he left us at peace and ran out to jump about outside……phew….
Though it may seem so, The dilemma wasn’t over yet for us :(( because the only show for which the tickets were available was to be screened at 10.50 pm !!!!!!!!!, the last show fr the day, which would eventually end by the beginning of the other day………. :( but as we weren’t left with any choice, we did take the tickets sure enuf that the kids would be very sleepy just after a few mins and then we would go home, not having to endure the whole farce…..
Okay…so at the fateful time, we entered the hall and to tell u the truth I was scared, entering a hall so late at night expecting an eerie atmosphere inside with a bare minimum humans, which would dwindle progressively…..
That was when I got the first Shock !!.....the hall was nearly full !!!!.....yes and we had to search for our seats with difficulty…..
Chalo bhaiya, ultimately we sat for bol bachchan with the assurance of popcorn and cds if at all it got insufferable midway. The title song began…..and I found myself having eyes only for the Big Bachchan, I hate to call him ‘Senior’ Bachchan :)….his actions his steps…..no doubt he is an Ace…..they all tried imitating those looong english speeded up sentence bits like that of the Amar Akbar Anthony, but none could come any near to the original !! :)
Amitabh Bachchan is a director’s delight, even today his demand hasn’t gone down….why, is it because he is a fine actor?....no the reason is that he Is entirely the director’s baby …..doing to perfection exactly what his director bids….not interfering atall in his job, while labouring hard for his own….e g he had sat for 8 hrs straight for the make up in Paa !!! how many would do that….thats the reason unko kabhi kaam ki kami naa hi hoti hai, naa kabhi hogi….warna ek actor kis kaam ka yadi uske paas koi kaam hi naa ho, hain jee ??!! :)
The movie went on and I started enjoying it. The songs when they came, it was hard not to shout, “ arre koi ise forward kar do bhai !!”…….
Asin !!....my God…..she was so intolerable with her overtly over acting and me-the-Best attitude dripping from her xpressions….well I used that time when she occupied the screen space to catch up my breath….
She does seem to be a lucky mascot for the movies though with her hattrick of Ghajini, Ready and Housefull-2…and now this too !! Bhagwanji ke bhi Khel niraley hai !! :/
Prachi Desai came as a fresh breeze to look at and yes acted ok too in that limited capacity that she had. Hope she gets roles in future which would harness her acting skills.
Ppl that we have sampled in Comedy Circus time and again were there doing their hammig bits as expected…eg Krushna Abhishek, VIP, etc….
The mast spicy part was Archana Pooran Singh as Zohra and Madhumati !!!!!!......her timing was perfect and I even found myself enjoying her shayari and its rendition too…..just luved her. She was actually more Likable and Lookable, than the so called S*** heroines who just took up the precious screen space only to increase the length of the movie with irrelevant song and dance sequences…. :)))
Abhishek Bachchan !!....the Real Abhishek Bachchan…no…mmm…err…the Real Abbas Ali….alias Fake Abhishek Bachchan, who is actually the Real Abhishek Bachchan !! No….i mean ….Abhi mai bolti hai, ki Abhi Abhi Baba, jo Abbas tha, aur jo Abhi bana Jo actually Abhi Baba hi tha…..Bole toh Ye Bol Bachchan se Bhagwan Bachaye, Bachcha Bachchan ke Bol aur Bachchan dono hi apni samajh ke baahar hai Baba...
….kyu maalum,
abhi dekho, Abhi Baba says that he never encashed on his Surname !!! HIS?????........who would care what his surname was, had it not been the real Bachchan surname…..meaning…..it was always He who actually survived due and due only to being lucky enuf to Be a Tag on The “Bachchan” name !!.....
Anyways maze ki baat ye, ki it took a Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn and a Rohit Shetty Film to actually bring out some Bol Bachchan from the Bachcha Bachchan and Revive his very Name, which was very nearly gone from everyones mind……
Bole toh, ab kam se kam ‘Abhishek Bachchan’, ye naam is movie ki wajah se kuchh din logo ke zehen mey rahega !! :))
And you know how pathetic and sorry situation it is,…..it took him many weeks to learn this kind of comedy !! hadd hai yaar…..bole toh in janaab ko shaayad comedy circus mey bhi entry nahi milegi !!...siigh….Bhagwan karein he learns from this experience !! :/
Bol Bahchcan was a typical Rohit Shetty movie, his style all over it, and which actually Banked on Ajay Devgn !! :)…..yes, his effortless straight faced comedy and yes again the non sense English sentences did get us in splits more often than not. It was a mindless comedy alright, but if it gets a whole hall laughing out loud, in the middle of the night, kids and adults alike, then I think its worth it. :)
The sorry part here was that for the sake of ethics and paying their respects to the 1970s Golmaal, Rohit got the copyright issue sorted…..but this went against him as it now gave a general picture that it’s a remake of Golmal or inevitably getting compared to the original one and unfortunately the critics wont find the clean, technically right and by the book comedy here as expected from a remake. Well it wasn’t supposed to be a remake at all…it was a typical Rohit Shetty flick, and only the idea was taken from the original….but chalta hai…. :)
Ajay is very clear in his mind as to the basics…
When asked about song and dance not being his strong points, he said, “you are either comfortable in everything or nothing is comfortable. It’s the way you look at things. Everyday u need to think whether u’ll be able to perform or not…and this is what keeps u going,”
When asked whether he thinks he has finally tapped the nerve of commercial cinema, he says,
“I don’t think so…the day I do, I’ll stop giving flops….we try to figure out what the audience wants. The bottom line is, today the audience pays around 250-300 bucks on a movie ticket and they want to get entertained. They don’t want to be educated on class cinema. Entertainment could be action, romance comedy, anything but it has to be there.”
well…well said haan… :)
Speaking of action, there was ample Rohit Shetty action, with the hero playing frizbee with humans and cars blown up high…. :)
When asked about his take on ppl calling all the movies crossing the 100 cr mark as foolish, he says,
“I think it’s a case of sour grapes. Ppl who cant achieve this benchmark themselves will say this wasn’t the right cinema. You cant wrong the audience. If ur film has done 100 cr business, means atleast 50 cr have watched it. So do they mean all these ppl are foolish ? who are u making the films for then?? If u are making films for the audience you need to give them what they want, else just make movies fr urself and watch alone at home…”
Hmm…baat mey dum toh hai bhai !! :)
Aur pata hai kya when the film ended, it was not a sleepy sloppy audience coming out of the hall…it was a Crisp, Chirpy, Active, Happy and Live audience that came out…….. :)
Toh bhaiya, whole thing is that in this era of movies swarming the place with dirty themes and languages [ I recently read a film in the making called, “Phattu Saala”, now whats this ??], at least this is a movie that u can watch and enjoy comfortably with family and kids…..don’t look for sensibilities, just enjoy :)
….and for those who find it difficult to do so, then my sincere advice is to catch hold of any kid or kids u chance upon around u, take them along and have a watch…they’ll teach u how to enjoy. :)…..
So try it……aur fir mujhe bataana…. :)
Tab tak ke liye aagya dijiye !!
Bye bye-gud nite-see yaa…..till we meet again !! :)
