It was somewhere in the 80’s. A movie is releasing in the theaters, the posters are put up on the walls just 2 or 3 days before. May be the theater owner sends a couple of people in a jeep to announce the release of the movie. The movie is released and the show goes like this. There lived a girl, who was deeply in love with a guy. They both were spending time with each other very happily and used to meet very rarely. You know how it’ll be in the 80’s. Only time they could meet was when they were travelling to college in the bus. Talk so rarely but still were happy. The smile and happiness when they used to meet once in a while, there are no words to explain that.
As usual, when everything was going on fine, the girl’s father comes to know and stands there with a double barrel gun pointing at the guy asking him to leave his daughter if he wishes to live, or may be give him a huge box of cash, or even beat him up to death. The girl so disappointed with her father’s decision kills herself and the guy becomes a Devdas. And the screen displays “End of Final Reel”. Everyone gets up from their seat and leave saying wow what a nice movie!!! Some say this with a drop of tear.
Now it’s 2010, the director plans for a movie, he tweets “I’m going to direct a new love story, that’ll be different from all the ones I’ve taken before, it’ll not just be a movie, it’s a Saga. Then Pre production processes takes place, the movie posters are put up on the wall, tweets on the net, ads on social media sites, interview with the lead actor, lots and lots all before starting the project. Then after 6 to 10 months of work the movie’s shooting is finally over.
The movie is not released yet, the date is announced, somewhere 6 months from now. The first preview appears on TV. The girl’s standing in the balcony of a house, on the beach front the camera zooms in, her hair flying in the direction of the wind, she moves her hair and shows her lovely face. Then the Hero comes on a 1000 cc bike or a Hummer, he steps out of wearing a faded jean, a leather jacket and a coolers, he removes the jackets to demonstrate he’s a body builder. It ends. This is shown for another 3 months.
Then next round of interviews on TV and promo songs for the next couple of months. The movie is finally going to be released. The movie is specially played for a set of celebrities the day before release, and they come out and talk praises about the movie. And finally the movie is released. The movie starts, the story is somewhat the same. Only the rare meetings are replaced with a bike ride daily, SMS’s, Calls, Video Chats and every possible way to communicate. Then comes a song, in a God Only Knows Place. Then a fight sequence and so called comedy scenes.
As usual the girl’s father comes to know, the usual drama with a modern touch and the girl kills herself. The movie is not over yet, it’s only the interval. Then the guy becomes a Devdas, with drugs or vodka in his had instead of the old brown bottle. Then comes another girl, she tries to impress her, there comes a romantic song and some fight sequences and finally followed by an item song by another sexy actress. Then again after so much drama he marries the girl and the caption pops up “They happily lived here after”.
The movies these days are so stupid with no actual content in it. The girl takes some 50 to 60 tablets and the next moment she’s dead. She writes a letter to her boyfriend saying I’m leaving you; you should find another girl and lead a happy life. And the movie goes on the same way and there’s the happy ending. Some try this in real life, the girl says I’m not a perfect match for you, let me die and you go find yourself another girl. Only in movies the guy actually finds a girl, in real life the guy gets arrested and his life’s doomed. So to those people who take stupid decisions after watching these movies, I have only one thing to say, GROW UP!!!
