Family Entertainer

Was watching a movie yesterday on Set Max.. Some real old one with Salmaan and ( sizzz..lingg ) Sanju baba who are brothers in the movie.One of those very typical hindi movies. All the rules to try and make it a big blockbuster..fisssh.. They even tried Sonali and Karishma and a whole lot of other big names.
Sanjay Dutt has just been hit by 7 gundas, and inspite of all his super power and big muscles the poor guy is injured. Must give the director credit for depicting something normal here. No human being , unless he/she is a YYY can defend himself against 7. So hes bleeding from that usual place on his forehead.. top left corner.
There are only some fixed spots which have been documented. 1. Top left on the forehead - the director really went by the book here. 2. Right corner of the lip. 3. From either nostril ( My least favorite ). Come on atleast get creative here.
Karishma arrives at the scene of action, drives him to the hospital or takes a rick or calls the ambulence. Who cares, they dont show that part.But alas its a police case so the Doctor has to be reminded of his "duty" with an intense 20 second lecture delivered by the
lady. Sudden transformation in the doctor's point of view .. halo glowing. They have to drill this in in every single movie and yet the doctors never learn. Next scene the hero's entire family, all generations, is at the hospital dressed in the nicest clothes and finest jewellery.
If they really cared enough for him, they'd have come as they were instead of wasting time on that makeup. These little things...
Doctor comes out of the OT looking pretty pleased like hes just won a battle, grinning from ear to ear and proclaims, " Hes complete out of danger. Hes fine now "
Hmm mustve been a splinter from the log that was causing all that life threatening bleeding.
Continues, "This girl here.. " (pointing to Karisma) "she saved your son's life. She's a very good girl " .
Karishma, who is standing neglected till now, is now the subject of interest to the Hero's mom who's thinking she could be The girl for my son!!
Blah.. If it were only this simple, I'd beat up the guy myself and take him to the hospital.
But theres more in store and only Salmaan is let in on the actual status of the patient.
Doctor : " The injury is very deep. I cannot really say anything right now"
Then why in god's name did you say he was fine !!Never trust doctors.

I couldn't take it anymore. I burst out laughing. Could I possibly ask for more entertainment :))
Me: When will they ever make things that are more believable and closer to reality
My mom: For that you need to change the channel.. to the news.

Only business news channels are close to reality. The remaining news channels are fiction themselves!!

Hahaha..yeah Bollywood movies! But then again, Hollywood ones are even crazier(read stupid) most of the times!
As for the news channels in India...almost ALL of them suck!! Esp NDTV..fucking only 'sensational' stuff. *Yawn*. News coverage on DD is so much better. But then the font and everything else about it is still so Doordarshan of yore :).
Even cnbc in India isnt that great anymore. Hindi has made its way :P. Oh well let me not get started on that..

There's actually this Bollywood bible, with different commandments on how to make a movie, and you just mix and match. For example

-If the hero has a sister she must get raped before the movie is done. She can then commit suicide cause her "izzat loot gayi" (but this is optional)

-If you hit your head enough number of times on random objects in a temple, the god/godess from said temple will do your bidding (generally healing blind/crippled/dying family member)

-If you are a villain it is mandatory to have a shark/tiger/other ferocious exotic animal, in a hideout filled with empty barrels/boxes.

Lol! Chal Mere Bhai! It's hilarious dude! I'd pick a silly hindi movie any day over a typical Hollywood romantic comedy. They're so damn stereotypical! And they make 'em lead characters look like such losers (and most of the time, they are!)

Was never fond of news! No wonder my current affairs knowledge sucks! I'd pick history or discovery or extreme engineering channels anytime over news channels. :)
