Tez Dhaar !
My Kindda movie- well that was the pharse that jumped out of my outdated 16 MB sized mind when I finished off watching Musafir last night.
The first time I saw this movie three years ago, I was at prime of my youth, going after women and work with enthusiasm matched only by Behan maywati’s drive to wipe out Bhai mulayam singh & company after UP elections. Something that stuck my youthful imagination was the stylised knife that Sanjay dutta aka Billa carried. I searched for it in every possible nook and corners of Pune like people search for rahi sawant’s item number in the messed up Emran Hasmi’s movies but what can Sethi Sahib do when “Archies” and “Hall Marks” of the world are hell bent on losing out such a big business opprortunity by not having that swinging stylized chakus in their heart filled red and pink colored splashed shops. They are more happy keeping those dil wala red gubbaras that make me feel go there and vomit out my stomach after having two bade wala Gobi ka parnatahas from Paapu da dhaba on highway number 8.
Three years down the line and approaching 27 with whole world waiting eagerly for me to be rechristen as Sethi Uncle, I saw that movie again. And trust me it worked again in getting that youthful nonchalance back and cutting away the last 3 years of unlearning good things and picking up not so good ones, even though that happy high lasted for just couple of hours till the time I finally hit my bed at 2 am.
What makes this movie a must watch for me, amazing styling in every frame, cheek in mouth dialogues, to fuck with world attitude, no moral justification for the acts of the characters and off course foot tapping numbers and macho men and hot sizzling babes.
I laughed my heart out on Billas one liners , cant write them here considering the wide demographic profiles of my readers but after a long time something made me laugh out my ass, even more than when I normally crack up on hearing my favorite dialogue of hindi movies “mein tumhare bacche ki maa banne waali hoon”. There is something poetic in this line but Billas one liners were music.
Well so much about the movie, now a note on personal front. My hairs have grown real big. I know what u dirty minds were thinking lol. Since my last few weeknds, I have been busy touring length and breadth of US from east coast to west, Its been real long I had a time for decent haircut. Long hairs look good on hrithik and john but on me they are like wild meteors let loose in indefinite space, each following its own trajectory.
And to top it all I have never carried a comb in my pocket. Its one of those superstitions lour cricketers follow like wearing a pink chaadi , or the same torn down pads or laal rumaal on neck, before going out to field and so for me its never to keep a comb in my pocket. So by the time its noon my head is showing an exact replica of set from stven spilebergs sci fi movie where a planet has been bombed by meteoric shower.
I have absolutely no clue how to relate the two stories about my hairs and Billa and conclude this post. But who cares but I would leave with a small recommendation. Do listen to the song Sun Suniyo from the movie above. Its amazing !
