Bollywood ka tadka…!

Our Bollywood Industry produces about a thousand films in a year. A common man’s best time-pass revolves around B’wood films. Till date each generation have been huge fan of our famous, charismatic, alluring, and glitzy actors.

Let’s start with none-other-than; yes we all can think of only one name: Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. Of course, who does not know this personality? His portrayal, individuality, character, posture, peculiarity is extremely noteworthy. He’s been the face of Bollywood from the past 4 decades. Jaanta goes ga-ga on his bollywood ishtyle. Literally! And I bet the coming generation will also hum his songs…dekha ek baar to yeh silsiley hue etc, etc. And guys don’t forget our Dharam paaji. Gone were the days! Ahhh, he’s got vogue of enticement. No wonder, Hema Malini went fida on him. We could see what she saw in him [wink, wink]. The loop cannot complete without Vinod Khanna, Rajesh Khanna [good-looking], Jeetendar [weird looks and style], Rishi Kapoor [the only guy spared from controversy], Mithun Da [the pelvic moves] and our very own chahe mujhe koi junglee kahe, Shammi Kapoor. Yahoooo…!

Moving on to GenX now…The list starts with Hrithik Roshan, the heartthrob of millions. His macho looks and suave personality electrifies each hormone. And mind you – the guy got the best body in our industry followed by the shareef-est guy; Abhishek Bachchan. Seems like the Jr. AB is still under curtain. The man needs to flash and flaunt his talent. I guess that department is only held by his dear wifey. Since we are on Ash’s subject, we cannot bypass Sallu’s topic. The hunk! However, an unstable man, not-so-loyal, I guess. SRK and Saif are no more in the picture. Them’ two are too busy playing homos, which I kind a think they are. Yeah, laugh it up! SRK was in full hype in his DTPH, DDLJ, KKHH days. Definitely the lover boy of every girl. And now, I’m eagerly waiting to talk about this one dude – Akshay Kumar. Gosh, flashback a bit, fall into the teenage mode, and mesmerize the days of Khiladi No. 1. Yup, the hormones start to kick in. For me AK steals the show. Period. Tall, dark, handsome – a complete package. Lastly, Aamir Khan, one word – perfectionist. End of story.

Switching gears…Gossip time! First and foremost, Aishwariya Rai Bachchan. Even though she’s my least favorite, the lady is capable of anything and everything. Miss World Pageant, debut w/ Mani Ratnam’s Iruvar, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Chokher Bali, Raincoat, Provoked, Jhodhaa Akbar, Devdas, Cannes festival, Hollywood, The Letterman Show. My Lord, name the thing and she has done it all. Ms. Rai is the face of Bollywood in West. And lastly, stole the most eligible bachelor: AB Baby… Now, that’s a success story! Oh well, enough about Bachchan’s. Few respected names come to my mind such as Madhuri Dixit [dancing diva], Tabu [innocence personified], Karishma Kapoor [the bubbly one], Priyanka Chopra [sky is the limit for this girl], Katrina Kaif [Barbie doll], Kareena Kapoor [the bitch]. After all, a bitch is necessary in all fields. Apologizes for profanity!

This is our B’town. Without these names, our life is quite monotonous. Oh, speaking of b’town, eagerly waiting for Rajneeti and Raavan. Picture, abhi baaki hai mere dost…!

Knock on the door. Who’s there?... Death !!!

Surprised to read the title? Yeah, me too… I don’t want to die like that. On one unexpected day, unexpected hour, you get a knock and that’s it, you’re knocked out!.... Nah.. Too lame!

Dasvidaniya would be the right way to execute a life. An outstanding, simple, commendable, congenial, a straight-forward script. “A memorable experience, one that will leave you richer.” Yup, that would be correct way to describe this film. Usually our Indian movies have very catchy names, you know like DDLJ, KKHH, Fashion and so on… Something we can relate to, however, this movie went somewhat unnoticed. Reason being - the enunciation, the dull characters, none slim figures, no masala number and just the overall picture. Per contra, I watched it this past weekend. Well well, I must say, I just loved it. A simple, hard-working, average looking guy finds out that, ‘he’s dying.’ Now what??? Cease the moment! Accept it! Relinquish life as ordinary-extra OR extra-ordinary? Guess what he chose??? Extra-ordinary! Right choice, without a doubt. So, he came up with 10 things on his ‘Things-to-do list.’ Nothing too fancy, just things a common man would dream of. Fortunately, he accomplished all of them and passed out peacefully with spreading joy all over his horizons. And mind you - now that’s called a memorable [not painful] death. At last, everyone has to perish away from Earth. Why not fulfill all the dreams before shedding this body? Why not remain a happy thought in other’s heart as oppose to one painful nightmare, an unpredictable demise? Let’s do our 10 things we desperately want to before dying… Dost, let’s make our life noteworthy, bodacious, and celebrated.
