Reality check

Bommarillu
Lage Raho munnabhai

I had literally camped in PVR yesterday...... 12 to 7 pm

As I watched both of these romantic comedies, 'lage raho' also involving strongly pushing a message home, I could not help but wonder how unreal both of those movies were wrt the romantic aspects! My readers will bear with me and let me tell them that the way in which hirani sir drove home the concepts of "Gandhigiri", truth and honesty in present day society were truly laudable and quite ingenious!

But that aint wat me talkin abt....In the hustle bustle of today's world, very rarely do u get to bump heads with a girl that u are bound to fall in love with at first sight.....and even more unlikely is her coming back to u and saying that if she didnt bump heads with u again, she would grow a horn! (heroine of bommarillu....an absolute doll, but some vacant spaces up top...)

No you don't get away with girls, after speaking colloquial language like "vaaat", "apun ka", "maamoo" and convince her u are a professor tackling linguistic dilemmas! NO you won't jump and dance in the road, as a bunch of college girls inside a bus are yelling at u that the only silent girl in the bus is in love with u, at the top of their voices! No!, you wouldn't dream of falling in love after getting engaged to another girl and offending ur father who has commanded over u for 25 years.....

(I have cycled between two movies above...u might be confused)

And the girls themselves are pretty smart nowadays...they have high ambitions, high fantasy based aspirations of a man....They want things like a tall man, an older man, a man who is rich, a disciplined man, a well dressed man, a man who can play the piano and juggle peacocks while brushing his teeth....

How about love? How about a man who can give them love? And who is waiting to do that, at the slightest approval??

I do not know why I am so obsessed with reality and demand the adherence of movies to it....Temporarily I switched off yesterday and hence was able to enjoy the movies thank you very much....After all, classy acting and dialogues cant be ignored forever! :-)

I think its the problem with the mindset we grow up with now... Every single decision is based on careful analysis, take joining a college or a course for instance... People look into all the pros and cons about choices and what gets hampers most is things like talent in case of profession and love in life. I know ppl who are so amazingly talented but chose a different prof based on the paycheck... it looks like life and marriage will get a similar penalty, it will no longer be based on what you feel rather on how another person appears to you.

No dude.. there are girls who are this innocent and sweet.. most of them retain the kid in them. its just tht everyones too concerned abt their behaviour and make a conscious effort to hide the kiddish attitude :) ..they wont be themselves.. sad part of things!

mm...interesting...while you were focusing on the romance part, I was sitting next to you and thinking about the common advocacy of truth in both movies...
btw is this blog a compliment to girls or is this girl bashing? (id be interested in either case..tee hee)

Clearly looks like girl bashing to me :D ..
"How about love? How about a man who can give them love?" That is the first and foremost thing ANYONE would ask for. It is so obvious that it is not mentioned most of the times... Tall guy, older guy etc etc will not even be considered if you know that you will not getting any love from him...

Well, that's how I think it is... and I have no doubt about it...
