With all the hue and cry about our movie making becoming real progressive in its storyline (started with dil chahta hain n now rock on), picturisation and gimmicks (read real good photography, sound editing, great chic clothes, amazing make up blah blah etc etc) i was surprised to see the latest yashraj flick Bachna Aye Haseeno.
What kinda story line is that. the guy screws around with these girls dumps them unceremoniously and then, and then the audacity of it all, he wants to ask and even get their forgiveness after some 8/10 years. What the hell was the script writer thinking, that these women were sitting around heart broken waiting for him to come and resolve all their anguish?
Why not show something more realistic and more progressive. If minisha lamba was married to a nice man who loves her, then why all the drama about her having shut up her emotions all due to one bad apple ranbir kapoor? Ditto bipasha basu's story. the crappy script shows that though she is an extremely sucessful actor she is still under emotinal trauma over ranbir kapoor.... Good God! i think we need to show our women in better light! women are strong people too, dont show them as all gooey mushy cryyie creatures who cannot get over a heart break - really. why should their lives stop? and only the darned hero can fix it?? crap!!
The other horrible example of chauvinism in the industry is that Priyanka chopra - saif ali khan Ponds cream advert.
Its shot in several levels to keep you interested in guessing the story. Saif is seen guiltily dumping a dark and dowdy priyanka chopra for a fairer neha dhupia. Then they show priyanka all sad and gloomy messaging him like a leech. What the hell? why should any girl message a guy who dumps her for the color of her skin? The of course she uses the brilliant ponds crap cream and she starts glowing.
Thats another insult - that men will only notice you if your fair. Seriously someone should file a PIL against ponds and Emami and all these fairness adverts.
Anyways i really thoguht the ending would something fun and realistic. I thought that when saif slaps neha and chases the newly fair priyanka, the story would take a more progressive turn with priyanka dumping him for a better man (say hrithik or someone) and then saif would go back to neha who would also dump him. that would have been a good ending. (they should have asked me to write the script)
But hell no! the ending was worse then the cream. The fair priyanka just sees saif and bursts into tears, and saif catches her and some stupid heart pendant does the trick. And without saif apologising or even explaining priyanka runs into his arms!!
WTF?? i pissed clean with these guys who write such horrible scripts. where are all the women groups??Nandini sardesai? shobha de?
