Kuch jyada hi kool hai hum sab ...

As I was away from Delhi during last couple of weekends, and there was no time to relax, I decided to enjoy this weekend to my fullest. And this started with "Kya Kool Hai Hum" on friday night with some of my team mates. We went for night show. To my surprise theatre was completely packed (even in night show). Movie was in hindi but it was on the lines of American Pie. All vulgar jokes and any stupid thing which you can think of, it was in the movie. But the movie was light and can help you in recovering from any tension you might be having.

Another good thing happened was that, I came to know Bose: The forgotten hero was released on that very day. I was actually waiting for this movie to release for a long time. I enquired about the timings of Bose during the interval. I was surprised to know that only one morning slot was kept for the patriotic film. I returned after the movie and was eagerly waiting for next morning to go for my long awaited movie. I didn't ask any of my friends to accompany me, as initial responses I got were not in favour and after all it was a morning show. For this generation 12 noon is too early to wake up and that too during the weekends.

I reached Waves (name of theatre) at around 11.30 as I was not sure of getting tickets in last minute rush.But I got the tickets very easily. Now I knew why only one slot was kept for this patriotic movie. It was just the reflection of response of public who prefers commercial movies carrying some virtual masala. Finally I saw the movie. I was with handful of old people (60+ in age) in the huge theatre, who came to see the hero of their time. There were no couples in this movie. The same screen 0.3 was houseful during the night show yesterday. Though I liked the atmosphere (free of any kind of artificialities) and the movie, I was thinking about the priorities of the present generation. Regarding movie, Rahman's music was truly inspiring. His choice of the Rabindranath Tagore song, Jodi tor dak shune keu na ashey tobey ekla cholo re, as a sort of theme for the movie could not have been more apt. I felt that this movie was made for the common masses, as it was conveying nothing more that what you already know. But I think that there is majority who doesn't even know this. But it doesn't matter to this generation, Isha Koppikar's "I" should be capital, independence can breathe without a capital "I".
