Black Friday

Had a glimspe of "Black Friday" yesterday on Youtube and the word "stupendous" comes to mind.

Without going into the rave reviews, watched in its own raw glory, the movie stuns with its pure and raw power of true artistes (artistes != actors; artistes > actors).

Everybody who is somebody in the world of acting (not in the Bollywood , Shah-Rukh Khanian sense of way) is in this landmark effort .... Kay Kay Menon, Pavan Malhotra, Pratima Kazmi, Pankaj Jha .... and many more who will probably be known forever by their roles that they have played here. One most certainly missed Nirmal Pandey and Raghuvir Yadav. It is only rare that a chance comes along that we can see the actors of their stature get a chance in fertile grounds such as these.

A magnificent movie which will most defintely set the benchmark for any further investigative documentary style dramas that may be made in the future in India.

Hope they release the DVD soon for us poor souls in the US.

Salman Mania is back ... and I'm prepared.

After a lull, Salman mania is back with the ass kissers in the media firmly behind him (notice how they hang on to every word that drips from his pie-hole). Here's some graffiti that I had for his group of headlines ....

People think I am an idiot: Salman Khan
That and also that you are a f####in ass*&le. They are right on all counts.

Salman, the lucky mascot!
We prefer Apu

I’m not a romantic guy: Salman
Agreed. You're a bitch.

My marriage is in God's hands: Salman Khan
And your neck too. Hope HE squeezes it real tight.

White man doing Bollywood ... HILARIOUS !!

Found this wickedly funny video of an accomplished mime doing a Bollywood song. I don't know who the mime is but he has defintely captured the inherent gayness of the average Bollywood hero (IMHO almost all of them are really that ... average) who can lip-synch to entire songs. Some of them actually walk away with Padmashrees.



One thing that I really liked about this mime was how he lapsed into a wierd sub-sequence in the song when he cannot seem to find his other song-mate.

Now, we can shake Bollywood filmdom and a twenty dozen instances such as this will fall out, but one sequence I remember vividly (because it had Amitabh in it I guess) which drove me really crazy was a song sequence in Geraftaar where Amitabh Bacchan and Kamal Hasan are singing a song in tandem and each cannot find the oether .... and they are separated by a lousy wall ! Shit, I may be taking this a bit seriously you know but I remember I was actually rolling on the floor laughing at that sequence while all my friends and family members sitting in front of the TV, were looking at me as if I was crazy ....

(If) Rajnikant (were) in KANK

Jems in this video include "Maa in ankh", "No SRK .... Only rajni saar" and a priceless imitation of Karan Johar (his movies are certainly gay)



Hall of shame ? Throw it out of the frame !!
