Chandini Chowk to China

Saturday , the first day of a very long three day weekend , and we needed protection from our boredom born out of a regular life .I always appreciated my lonliness ,only because when in a crowd every one thinks worse than the least intelligent person in his most stupid thoughts .Three was not a crowd , yet it was very confusing as to where we wanted to go and what we wanted to watch .Only when she called did I knew that i was in for a movie and that too at Satyam .Business as usual at Satyam . It was the most horrible saturday to be going for a movie , i already had parked my tiger outside the gates and was about to inquire for what braindamage did we have tickets for .Obviously they had it for none . She had not the slightest of hesitation in suggesting for Chandini chawk , Off we went .. to Woodlands .


Mortality , sudden death , loss of consciousness ..for the three hours of watching the chandni chowk to china I was really wishing i would be ceased by any three or a times all three just to save my intelligence from being completely corrupted by the infinitely retarted poor unimaginative non sense of Akki .Kung fu is supposed to be this art of self defence , but we were defenceless that day .. You see its not that i dont like stupid and naive movies ..Scoobie doo i revel , Dumb and dumber was humerous ,But there was something entertaining about the mindlessly stupid comedies . I even liked the occasional Simbu and Vijay movies too .But Chandini was totally way out of my ability to stand non sense .This was never my original choice to risk my sanity and sense of humour with this crap of an excuse for a movie ,but it was a time of the year when only movie for which we would get tickets for was a sarcastic threat to your mental health called Villu ( villu power fullu ! oh god ) Its as if either this movie or i risked losing the prescious time that I was going to spend with a sincere and cute friend(s) of mine.I always despised the city for not having enough space to hang out with friends . I mean Spencers is done to death and its always ten more than the entire city .The crowd itself in spencers was a living proof as to how the city was running out of spaces when it comes to spending time with friends . I mean ofcourse we could go to some place private and more peaceful ,but we were yet to establish enough confidance with each other to have ourselves completely left with our own sense of humour . So we had to borrow some from the one which had none ..AKS ..I mean Akshay Kumar .

You see there was a time when Akki was a complete cool and sauve guy who made all the nicest moves , with/without ladies . He was all hunk . Total macho stud who would make any female drool at even his tarnished image ! Nope he was not very bulgy muslces or beefy biceps ..He was enough steroids with what he looked like .I virtually adored this guy for being such a beef cake . And from that Akki has fallen into this trap ..of playing this really retarded and stupid idiotic fool who says sentimentally overwhelming tearjerkers albeit occasionally only to remind that this was not his fault but also the fault of the dialogue writers.We have seen it in Namastey london , Welcome , and yeah ofcourse Tashan ! the jokes were so very poor that we had to remind ourselves to laugh ..only this time at the very lack of humour !

Yep ..all you boys out there gonna love Deepika . She seems to be the only saving grace of the movie .The producers must have realised it so they put two Deepika .One a very cheap chinese imitation of her . See i am not saying that she does anything intelligent or even humorous . she does not even act for much part of the movie .Then how does she save it , By just being there she saved my two hours . Oh god how does some one manage to look so pretty , even in really garish chinese make up . and silly Kung pu moves ! So deepika ..and deepika .. she saves the day .Just what the doctor ordered for saving this good for nothing non stop non sense for two and god knows how many hours . It looked like having spent and entire week there in the theatre . I mean this thing just goes on and on . and looked like it would consume most of my patience . Just waiting for Deepika to appear in the next scene .You see the film does have some nice things about it too ..i mean it had some nice dancing ..only when they were not dancing . Nice jokes i mean when it was not meant as a joke (the most funny was when Midhun da dies and the climax when akki remembers what his best move was —-making dough for paratta ) It had the most poorly translated hindi and chinesse tooo . Go for the movie if you think you can risk your sanity for the love of Deepika .Kung fu .. i mean nowadays with CG anyone can do such fancy moves .DOnt they do it in VIjay movies all the time . So i was not completely impressed with Kungfu . Ofcourse , my friends who came along for the movie was such wonderful company , they shared their distaste for the movie and also made life more bearable with jokes of their own and comments too .The movie was just and excuse for me to be with friend i suppose !

Then it was time to regain my confidance in movies with a wonderfully poised movie called Mystic Massuer . It was about this author .Set in Trinidad the movie was quintessential picture of natural beauty captured in celluloid .Man ..he does not need much to live a life seeped in beauty .only he needs to choose what he sees .Rather than what he sees the more important thing her should do is to avoid what he does not want to see .Chandini and Mystic massuer ..two really contrasting movies in terms of content , treatment and imagination/scope .Both are meant to entertain us .only the later enriches us too .A bit of stupidity can be tolerated , rarely abundance of it too is somewhat cute if its innocent . But repetetion should be avoided . Indian movie audience is maturing and are capable of appreciating a little intelligence in content .Success of numerous movies are pointing towards optimistic direction .
