Taan taan taaa taa tat a tat a taaannnnn…..

I swear to god if (God Forbid) the "Multiplex – Producer" standoff does not end soon this is how my dreams wud start off. C’mon guys ur holding the whole country’s entertainment @ gunpoint. This is sheer violence. I miss the Big screen magic. I miss the release by dozen attitude of our very own bollywood. I miss Rajeev Masand’s rhyming bull crap reviews. Now, let me get this straight, it’s not like I’m gonna watch every other 2 bit movie that is put up in the theatre. But I miss all the action that surrounds it, it’s like Diwali in Gujarat or like Weddings in Punjab orDelhi where it’s not just the main event that’s of interest but the sub-events before and after the main event. To name a few I’d love to see the skeleton faced “My Daddy is a producer” Jacky’s ass-whipped in public reviews, I’d like to see mindless skimpily clad “zero size“ models running around in the background of a desi movie song for no reason what so ever, I’d also like to play “Who’s ur media partner” game, by comparing the no. of star’s they give in movie review. And last but not the least “Running Successfully in a Theatre near you”, “Blockbuster” & “Super Hit” tags attached in promos the following week. Ah!! Good ol’ days they were.

 

And wha’s the hell is wrong with Hollywood guys, I don understand ur “no issue, no gain , no release” funda. It seems like they are so engrossed watching the "Producer – Multiplex" standoff that they forgot to send in the reels for INDIA RELEASE. For all you know they might have received a rude shock when they heard things like

1.       “SRK- AAMIR put their differences aside to express their solidarity with producers”,

2.       “I’m ready to clean toilets of theatre’s - AAMIR”,

3.       “This is my lucky year, and Jacky (in Kal Kisne Dekha) will be a hit- Vashu Bhagnani”

Now the first 2 dialogues I guess wud have caught their hollywood counterparts in a emotional fix and I guess wud have played a crucial part in their decision to hold back the release of Hollywood movies. But the moment the 3rd statement was put in the papers I guess they realized it’s all bullshit and that this drama is leading nowhere. Thanks to Bhagnani sir thar “Angels & Demons” is finally releasing this Friday. Not that I carry a huge expectationa off it, but it’s good to end the dry run by watching Tom Hanks denouncing or rather questioning the very foundation of ppl’s religious beliefs on big screen.

 

P.S:-  No I Don’t wanna end this post by saying “Jai Ho!”

P.P.S:- Just so that I don’t do it Literally J
