We are growing up , our film industry is growing up but unfortunately our politicians aint(bad joke). after a dated experience watching mangal pandey(dated yet contemporary..designer hairdos,manish malhotra outfit etc,..ironical isnt it?)salaam namaste was a welcome change.the name of the film was extremely confusing and secular(now.. you dont need to be a rocket scientist to get that).its depressing at times to watch the chefs and RJs affording Mercedes Benz Smart or Nissan X-trail while top notch blue star employees finding it difficult to afford a humble maruti 800.saif ali khan is a cool dude switching profffessions at the city of melbourne(or may be sydney..who cares).preity''pretty'' zinta is a '' dudess'' also switching professions in the same australian city...there lifestyle is very sleek, very ralf lauren or very amar singh as a matter of fact.. one fine day the lazy chef and the cute damsel decides to move in together...(once again in a very posh sea viewing penthouse.. my level of frustration rises..i am a qualified engineer staying in a clumsy one room flat in delhi and finding extremely difficult to meet the ends....jesus chist...and havent spoken to single chick in the last couple of months..moving in with one is a far fetched and fairytale dream).. then after two months of coutship(read: singing around trees..oops..skyscrapers) the eventuality happens..the damsel gets pregnant.(why doesnt anyone bother to read the cover of a ..ahem..contraceptive..it clearly says that they are 97.3% effective..even a virgin(read:the author)knows that)then after lots of emotional theatrics,pegs of vodka and baskin robbins ice cream the protagonist realises that it is not possible for him to ''patofy'' a better looking babe.. and they live happily ever after!!!
i feel great after watching a movie( I am definitely lying..)wish our film makers could be a bit more realistic !!!
p.s. as I write this article I am thinking of walking down my apartment(ha..haa) to save INR 25
