Main bhi review likhunga....kyon nahi...mera bhi haq banta hai...poore paise diye hain ticket ke....aur poori film bhi dekhi hai.....to lijiye saab, pesh hai...BHTB...ek review...
Aaj bade dino baad theatre me jaa kar (ya humari bhasha me
talkies me jaa kar ) film dekhi. Why bade dino baad ? because aaj kal jo movie aa rahi hain, aur jo multiplex ke charges hain, yeh dono match nahi karte..yes …although I am all for ‘no piracy’ and stuff but boss it’s MY hard earned money…anyway.
Today I decided to watch
BHTB with my 6 yr old daughter. I was supposed to baby-sit her. (No she’s not a Big B fan… she’s a Salman fan but that’s a different story). So here I was, all set to watch BBuddha (what’s with the spelling… numerology?? … oh god! not again…not big B..please.) Ticket ke liye laaaaambiiii line...hmmm... watching posters to while away the time…expectations soaring…finally got the tickets…ran towards the screen … my daughter refused to enter the hall ..kya hua??… ooops!! I forgot !! how could I??...Popcorn please…”saar, would u like to take the combo offer….. WHAT …???!!!! ..#@$%^…beep beep…yes! Can u make it fast..please… Armed with a tub of popcorn and 2 soft drinks, some fries, nuggets.....all that, I entered…
“aye battery” (seriously wanted to shout) …but the fellow came to me instead…showed me the seats..well …where do you keep all this stuff… “keep it on your lap daddy…I’ll take it when I want”…OK baby…ssshhhhshhh… “its national anthem….stand up”…It was a sight, trying to hold everything in my hands and standing upright for the national anthem…
Aahhh! That same old certificate where you struggle to see the movie name…its so nostalgic…but hey where are the trailers???? What no trailers…gimme my money back…. Oh its started…baby now keep quite. I want to see the movie and want to hear the dialogues..Its a Big B movie u know. You mean Bhootnath daddy…Yeah yeah, bootnath…
kya yeh aajkal ke bachche bhi… Ok shush now.
Yeah!! Intervel....SAMOSA time...talkies me jakar samosa nahi khaya to kya kiya...
And then, its over…ooh!! sorry, I forgot this was supposed to be a movie review…Okay here goes…. It was a Big B movie. It started with Big B and ends with Big B…at 69 or almost 70 whatever he did only he can do it…I don’t think anyone of today’s star can pull off a feat like that …. the same old persona, the same old larger than life screen presence, the baritone, the style, acting, action and dance …its all there…still there… it’s enough for his fans. Even now he is capable of pulling a film like this on his (old) shoulders… I didn’t like the film… I was disappointed with some of the actors (especially Ravina Tondon) what was she doing?? Another big disappointment was Makarand …what a complete waste… The villain or the actor in a negative role…whatever his name is…it seems that he came out from the sets of WANTED and walked straight into this film….ridiculous…..besides Big B the only saving grace was Hema Malini…maaaan she is something…those two young actress whatever their name is, can surely learn a thing or two from the lady… I kind of liked the Goon “Tedha” with a sixth sense… Sonu Sood was good..this guy has potential…and yes I like “beep beep”…
”ek to isse meri zabaan gandi nahi hoti aur saamne wale ki beep beep ho jaati hai.”
The songs were good. Specially “Haale Dil”. Go Meera go... Parody/ medley was also nice. So all in all an ok FILM… Mr. Director, you better do a good job next time…maybe you had something else in your mind when you started with this project and maybe there was some pressure on you … but eventually you will be blamed. So go and ask for Jagannath from Puri ‘s blessing for the next project. FIVE STARS for BIG B...one and half for the movie....:)...there ..job done.
On our way back my daughter asked me “Daddy, why was he saying “Buddha hoga ter baap” through-out the movie???” Ummm.......actually ....…u know…......well, l I don’t know.
