It was evening.At office closing time in Priyanka.Pvt.Co.Lim there was the tring tring{ringing of the telephone was a very rare occurence in this flop company}.The desk operator cum assistant manager cum personal assistant {How many ppl can an almost bankrupt company employ?} answered the call .
The operator was a stylish , slim and dark young girl who would get excited for simple, small things.
Operator : Hello ,{with a low tone} Priyanka .Co.Pvt.Lim. May I help you?
Caller :I am the P.A of the manager of Bollywood films analysis society.We have chosen your company as one of the feedback provider for the film Koi Mil Gaya. Is it okay if we schedule a meeting sometime in this week?
Operator :{excitedly}What? our company?...err... I mean...{trying to hide her excitement}This week is busy{a Big lie!}...but...umm...{going through her appointment diary}this Saturday 4:00 pm will be perfect.
Caller:{mentally calculating}Hmm...about a two hour meeting will be a good idea.I'll send our company men at the scheduled time.Thanks.
Operator:{eyes gleaming with excitement}My pleasure!
In the next five minutes, happiness and excitement filled the company's otherwise gloomy atmosphere.Everyone was chattering about this new project.Atlast ,after the major flop of UBC awards{refer my earlier review}someone had considered them worthy of another project.
Priyanka :{ President cum Vice-President cum Treasurer}Faithful friends , we know how much this new project means to us.We know that we will make it this time...{another 1000 words...}So are we all ready for it?{ with a wide smile on her face}
Rocky : { a new employee in his mid-twenties with funky dressing style and well-built physique } Yes, we will try our best...We will make it this time .Yes we will!
Not coincidently , Rocky had been one among the audience who contributed in making UBC awards a major flop.The company figured out that the best way to avoid these nuisance creators is to give them jobs in the company .As it is ,they were in short of employees.
Mr.Chopra:{another new employee...an aged , disciplined , bespectacled individual}I just watched this flick yesterday .I think I can put forward some points.
Priyanka:Yes, Mr. Chopra...go ahead.{trying to ignore a yawning Rocky}
Mr.Chopra:Hmm...I feel the Roshans have done it again.After KNPH this will be their next success.They have used a different concept of life outside Earth.This concept is quite appealing especially at a time when scientists are trying to figure out the possibility of life in space.
Rocky :But they have not kept the adults in mind .Everything seems so kiddish and the concept is not original .Also, imagine having a blue alien ...where are the good designers , man? And what's with sending the signals into space with a home -desgined computer? Common, we audience are not that brainless.
Mr.Chopra:I am not questioning your opinion Rocky.But , suggest a better Bollywood film made with such a concept.This film certainly refreshes us from the other lovey-dovey, mushy mushy crap shown in movies nowadays.What do you think , Madame ? { Mr.Chopra turned his face to Jasmine , the Operator}
Jasmine:All I know is that Hrithik has done a superb job in here.{getting excited}Yes! Yes!He has proved that he is a good actor , leave aside his good physique and looks.Priety , as always has succeded in her bubbly, caring role.I agree that Rekha didn't have much role but which Maa in Bollywood has been given a major role?
Rocky:Okay...okay. Neat performances.But, but personally I feel they could have done better with the numbers.That song 'Haila ...' left me giggling. Nothing but funny steps and weird dressing styles!Hmm... but the title song and 'Chali chali' are bearable...In fact I like them.
Jasmine:Ya, ya those are hummable songs...{clearing her throat}Koi Mil gaya...ha huuum haaa...Koi mil gaya...This project is getting exciting! Kuch mil gaya...Kuch mil gaya...
Priyanka:I am happy that you'll are getting excited about this project.It's a positive sign.But remember,in the feedback we'll have to mention about the direction and story too.
Mr.Chopra:The direction can be rated with four stars.About the story it is smart of them to knit this new concept and human qualities like friendship , care and human intelligence. The story did manage to touch my feelings.I heard my wife sobbing in a few scenes .All in all, a decent flick which manages to keep us entertained .
Rocky:Hmm...agree it's entertaining provided the flaws are neglected.The designing of 'Jadoo' the alien could have been more better. By the way,how does Preity wear such skimpy clothes in a village such as Kasauli?In the match, no one objected the extra high jumping of the players.
Jasmine:Maybe... 'Everything is fair in Bollywood and Bollywood'
Mr.Chopra:Those adorable kids deserve a mention.Also the spacecraft design was an intelligent effort. Camera effects were fair enough .
Just then the phone rings ...Jasmine excitedly takes brisks steps to answer the call.
Jasmine: hello, {with a high tone }may I help you?
Caller: I am speaking from the bollywood analysis society.I regret to inform that the Saturday's meeting is cancelled.
Jasmine:Uh...oh...may I know Sir, why such a sudden change in decision? Should I re-schedule the meeting for some other covenient day?{ the company offfice is always free!}
Caller:Actually , I am not supposed to tell this...but we happened to read your company's review on UBC awards and we learnt of the declining state of your company.Sorry but I am doing just what me boss has told me to.I have to cancel the meeting.
Me:What happened after this don't ask me...
All sympathies will be accepted in the form of comments...lol
