WTF!

It’s Saturday and since one has nothing to do now, one sits down to watch inane desi TV programs on public TV that usually carry some variation of the Bollywood entertainment tag. This show features the corniest lines, promos etc. usually featuring the current Bollywood heart attack inducer Himesh Reshamaiyya in some form or the other. In between you get to see promos for gems featuring the likes of Salman Khan, Udita Goswami and assorted has beens and duds.
So five minutes ago, as one such promo started, I was not unduly disturbed. The movie in question is the latest from The Factory - Darwaza Bandh Rakho. Then as the taglines came in, I have to admit, my interest was roused, for I love slapstick comedies and this seemed to be one of those. But the end of the promo left me speechless with a WTF expression on my face.
If you have seen the video for Aslam Bhai number from Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, as the lines “Haath main bas, paanch oongli, hero ban ja Aslam bhai” come up, you see this portly guy (in a white shirt) doing the Hrithik move from Kaho Na Pyar Hai. The song in question is a fun number, which is why I remember it vividly. Besides, I used to do a mean Hrithik impression back in the day and that signature move never failed to raise a few laughs.
But I digress. This same guy was on screen (he seems to play a pivotal character in the movie). It was not a shot from the movie. Instead, it was one of those “You have a mic thrust under your nose now, so tell us something and quick” moments. And a perfect one at that. So this guy says something like - Saabun se nahane se madrasi koi kashmiri ban jaatha hai kya? I spaced out on what he said later, but I think it could have been an appeal to go and watch the movie.
And that my friends, is the WTF moment for the day!

With the reviews i have been reading about the movie in question i would advice you not to waste your 10 bucks on it. Better watch your fav F1 tonight or i am pretty sure you still will be lingering with the WTF expression for days to come. I nightmare if not less.
Still trying to find a decent Desi store which carries some MOVIES, movies not made by the Johar, Chopra clans. Wish me luck on that front.

And though this is off-subject, thank you. After all this is not Me’s comment section/chat room. Every single commment I get is appreciated.
CM: Niruthu!
Q.s: Exactly, no redemption at all except Omkara. Abhishek, am not so sure!
WA: If I tell you, you will “pongi ezhundhu-fy” and do a post ripping apart the producer/director/light boy/peon who worked in that movie. Anyways it says that regardless of what soap he or she uses, a (dark) madrasi wil never become a (fair) Kashmiri!
Sumeet: Haan re. I saw the reviews. The Factory is going downhill!
