Bachna Ae Haseeno

I had 3 days off this weekend and the country celebrated its 61st independence day on Friday. The first two days were quite boring, me and my wife (idiot box) spent the whole time gazing into each others eyes. On Sunday evening I went to see father-in-law (talkies) screening 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'. Movie is good and worth watching once. Sometimes while watching, it reminded me of my past. What matters the most is I came out of the theatre with happiness in my heart, why not, after a long time I saw a movie in a desi theatre (not in a mum sitting mall theatre) which reminded me of my college days. Soon after the movie way back to home I had food at a punjabi dhabha with lassi for a perfect climax. Truly, lassi jaisi koi nahiin..
I always wondered the way in which films affect our lives, especially if you are residing in India. The crowd goes to Europe or America or Australia and comes back within 3 hrs from the trip completely packed with romance, laughter and emotions. Everyone put themselves into the shoes of the characters(mostly positive characters, hmm..sometimes negative if it's a r*pe scene, he he). Almost every Indian girl of around my age wants to be the Simran of DDLJ waiting for the charming Raj, but every Indian guy has already stopped dreaming about Ash and Kat rules their hearts now. I think most of the girls would be interested in seeing the six pack abs than the face of the guy these days. If girls have mooh-dikhaai guys will soon face ab-dikhaai..lolz.. and very soon we'll be seeing matrimonial ads somewhat like this.
Bride required for a six feet tall and handsome guy earning six digit salary and having six pack gallery.
Now that's a proof of present 666 era, the satanic number, something interesting for the next remake of 'Omen' series. But guys are still very much same ab ho ya tab, still hunting for the Miss 36-24-36 (Well, that makes 9-6-9 numerologically, and if you invert the 9's it's 6-6-6, satanic ofcourse).
Well.. Bachna Ae Haseeno..
