WAR!!...yu ki...kuchh bhi?! :)

War!!
.....yu ki…Kuchh bhi?!  Hain jee?!!

Hi my sugar-plums,
Oh yes, I did watch the movie. And had there been any post credit scenes, I would have sat through them too.
Meaning, did I love it that very much?!, You may ask.
My response to that, a Yes?!.... No-o
Then Negative?!....No-oo
Then what?

I came out of the screening theatre with a strange smile playing on my face. A few steps and then I turned. Each and every face that I saw coming out, had a baffled expression on it.
I chuckled. :)

Hrithik asks Tiger in the movie, ‘Kaun’ ya ‘Kyu’
I make it easier. I ask just one question, ‘Kyu re baba, Kyu…?!
Why this Kolaveri Kolaveri Kolaveri di?? 

Chalo chhoro, lemme ask you my reader, what does a movie majorly comprise of?
What did you say?!
Exactly!....its the Actors!!
Which means there is Acting in a film.
War had nothing in it that even remotely could mean anything like A-C-T-I-N-G!!!

Then why do I say I would’ve waited till the post credit scenes?
Have I lost it?!
None my dearies, I haven’t.

Let’s clear the chaos and commotion of confusion from our heads then.

Lemme again ask my dear reader a question,
‘Who do you think you went to see this movie for?’
Read and understand what I am asking, carefully, okay?!
‘Who do you think you went to see this movie for?!’

What did you say? Your own self, is it not?!!

Well…well…well…This is exactly where the problem lies.

You may counter question me, ‘If not for me then for whom?’
Now you are on the right track.

This movie was meant for only two people, Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff!!!
Don’t gawk at me. I’ll explain.

Imagine few years from now [more for Tiger], when these two sit with their grand children, boys especially, which movie would they hold best to show them, that boasts of their assets? ‘War’ of course. They would sigh in relief and happiness as the kiddos watch each of their dare devil scenes and stunts or even dance moves, eyes popping and jaw-dropping.
Just compare Tiger here in War and Tiger in Student of the year-2?
Now you see what I mean?
The film makers gave this dynamic-duo a huge opportunity here, awesome locales from all over the world, lavish action platforms, even in an aircraft!!, chases in bikes and amazing cars; jal, thal aur akash, even in ICE of arctic circle to showcase their assets fully, looks, action, stunts and dance.

They, for their part, made use of this opportunity perfectly. They weren’t fighting, but complimenting each other, helping the other to bring out the best of what was their forte’.
We talk about presence or absence of chemistry between the male and female leads in a movie. Here you would agree when I say these two gentlemen displayed as perfect a chemistry between them as possible.
Toh bhai, who expects them to act here? In fact, even an ounce of acting would have broken the magic. Imagine Varun Dhawan with some perfect expressions here, wouldn’t it have distracted us big time? J

It would be imprudent if I do not mention another person here.
You are so right, Vaani!
She was clearly conversant in this movie. No, not with us the viewers, but with all the film makers, directors, casting teams etc,
Ki
Bollywudwaalon!!!!
Eta aami!!
Vaani Kapoor, yaani mai!!!
I am here with a nice bikini friendly body!! So if anyone wants to cast me for this, I am all yours!!!!’

While most of the girls in the audience were left wondering,
‘Iske aise wale lips general humans me hote hain kya? Ye Botox wale hain ya cosmetic surgery wale?! Aisa kisi gharelu nuskhe se banaya jaa sakta hai kya?!’
and there comes Hrithik around her with his totally ordinary, to the extent of barely visible lips, crashing their dreams to smithereens.

Now the burning question remains as to should we then take the pains to go and see this movie at all?!

The answer is, YES!!
Trust me folks, we have seen and tolerated worse.
Lemme explain.

Imagine and continue imagining till I ask you to stop. Okay?! J
So imagine a hungry You, sitting with a plate of juicy gulab jaamun in your hands. You pick it up and place it inside your salivating mouth…savour and gulp it down…
…snap!...
Now come back and answer my question.
During this exercise, was there any thing at all between your taste buds and the gulab jamun?!
No, naa?!
Likewise, while you sit back to watch this movie there should be a similar connect between your Eyes this time and the screen. No brain, no heart, no sensibilities should disturb or distract. Then I am very sure you wont come out disappointed.

So go enjoy and do tell me how it was?!

Till then its ciao, syonara, tata & bye-bye from me here at page – 3.
