For people who know
me I am tough and practical; I am Leo and all but like many Bollywood struck
souls I end up crying in the theatre. I am no American, I like to believe that
any story is always going to end with, ' thereafter Mr. xyz settled down and
married the love of his life and had two healthy kids, a boy and a girl…blah
blah blah.'
Yes I am one of those zillions of emotionally fool Indians
who like the movie only if it happens to have the hero triumph over the bad
guys; if it has the lead roles, after all the two hours of tragedy, finally
hugging and crying in the airport or some mission being accomplished by a gang
of these hi tech agents, audience are supposed to support; in short the movies
which end with the "Happily ever after" scenes. No matter what genre
they belong to, rom-com or action, reality or fiction, IT MUST, MUST HAVE A HAPPY ENDING.
I mean I pay 100 bucks (god bless Indore) to take out my
brain from the real world affairs and enjoy the big screen reel drama. I don’t
want to come out of the hall with smudged kohl, swollen eyes and the most
important negative thoughts. I want to drown into the dreamy filmy world where
good always wins! It doesn't matter if one hero beats hundreds of gundas
without a scratch on his face; if five bullets surpasses his heart and he is
still alive fighting for humanity, it doesn’t matter if all of it finally ends
up to give a happy ending. Of course I am not talking of the 3 B's: bad script
, bad direction, bad acting movie. Those suck. What I am saying here is I would have loved
the epic Rang de Basanti IF they wouldn’t have ruthlessly murdered those five.
I have watched that movie a dozen times; but never only once that brutal
ending. I fell for Ranjhana, only question was what was the need to kill
Dhanush. Then we had the blockbuster Aashiqui 2, well frankly I didn't like it
whole. Such a depressing headache-giving film. I watch pictures solely for entertainment
purpose. Now this doesn't mean I hated The Pursuit of Happiness. I loved it.
Throughout the movie, you feel a pain within but see what a beautiful end can
do to our beautiful hearts! This also doesn't imply I enjoy Grand Masti and
alike. I cursed my friends for those 3 hours of rotten drama. Of course I have
brains and a good taste. I am never
stating that a sad ending connote a movie is unworthy of being nominated in the
award functions. NO! Only such pictures leave me with a feeling of, you know,
INCOMPLETENESS…
The other thing I don't quite get is how could one come up
with something as gross as horror films. Dude, those shits make you scared of
your own room, the screech from the trees against the glass windows didn’t
matter much until now neither did the door creak sounded so amplified before.
Those are ugly and people who watch them are uglier. Bhssshhhhh! Finding a
death ride entertaining is atrocious. Totally!
This was it. These were my taste buds. Like many show offs I
am not at all an anti-bollywood types. While the super advanced Hollywood has
its own place in the Cinema World; Desi masala with its jhintak item numbers
has its own fun. For me it doesn't matter much though, I am no critic, All I
seek from the celluloid Industry is a Happy film.
