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My Kindda movie- well that was the pharse that jumped out of my outdated 16 MB sized mind when I finished off watching Musafir last night.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 !

Viraniyaan

Ended up watching Namaste London …. Once again :)
Don’t know why I love this movie. Have seen it umpteen times and every time I see it , I still feel like watching it again.

May be its Katrina who looks absolutely beautiful yet mysterious, arrogant yet vulnerable , forceful yet silent, just like late nights which I have always find so enchanting. Take it from Sethi Sahib, she’s gonna be the next umero uno in case she continues like this. After very long time I find someone taking over Kajol from my list of only actress I have always admired.

Or may be its Akshay’s innocence and silent & letting go kind of love to woo back her girl. If after SRK , someone tops my list it has to be Akshay . Punjabi humour, verbosity and to hell with world attitude personified to the core

Or is It the dialogues which goes like “ पंजाबी में भी हूँ , इश्क़ की कद्र मैं भी करता हूँ, मगर इश्क़ में कोई शर्ते नहीं होती ”

And the best one which goes like

“ इश्क दी मित्रा पहचान कि ? ( pyar ki hain dost pechan kya?)
जदौन मिट जावे ज़िद अप्नोन दी " ( Jab mit jaye zid apnane ki?)

For helping non Punju readers of my blog

“How do you identify true love my friend?
Well you know its true love, when you know, you can let it go”

Seems like Sethi Sahib is on dope while writing this post at 2 o Clock in the night but I guess you go on a high if the only sound you hear well past midnight, when the whole world is asleep, is Himesh's nasal voice singing

Zindagi mein hain tum bin yeh Viraniyaan … yeh Viraniyaan …. yeh Virraniyaann
