8 Things that never change about Bollywood

They say time repeats itself. It goes and comes back. But there is one thing which does not repeat and that is because it never changes. These are our Bollywood movies. From wooing the girls to keeping the dream of many struggling actors alive, Bollywood is a craze in Indians. We love the STARS and even consider them god but there is something which makes me love Bollywood movies and it is how that they never change and still attract the viewers and remain a million or billion dollar industry. So presenting to you a few things that never change about our Bollywood:

1.       The never ending ROMANCE

Our Bollywood has become the epitome of love. If any day the world sees hatred around and finds love missing, what we need to do is watch some Bollywood movies. There are love triangles, quadrilateral and polygons of many sides. So much love has been given only by Bollywood.

But I don’t understand why in every movie the Hero never falls in love with a Heroine unless before they dance under the rain. Or why don’t they realize their love till the point the father of girl says to the boyjitni tumhaari ek mahine ki kamai hai, utni toh meri beti ek din mein bikhariyon ko tip de diya karti hai”. Maybe I am not proficient enough to understand the trick of love. :D

But here is a tip “If you hate someone at first sight, take note more often than not you may fall in love with the same guy”. This is what all Bollywood movies teach us.

 

 2.       Don’t get confused, it’s the double role

When the producers loves any actor a lot and want to give a major part to him/her, there is always an option and that is double role :P . People say its “Two for the price of one”. Well they are foolish. What I love the most is I get to watch my favourite actor twice. But why was there a need to show Priyanka Chopra in 7 different roles in “what’s your rashee”. People now got so bored of her that none of her movie got a hit :D . There is still one confusion remaining, that in all the movies say Kamine, duplicate, Seeta aur Geeta :P , why is it that one twin is a “sharafat ki murat” and the other is evil and the innocent one always gets beaten up due the kaminapan (pardon the language) of the other twin. Well, this remains a mystery.

 

 3.       No need of script, just copy

They say Indians are lazy but the Indian film industry proved this fact right as they couldn’t come up with an original name for the film industry so they copied it from the film industry called Hollywood. All they had to do is change the alphabet H from Hollywood into B and that made it Bollywood, WOW very original isn’t it.

Many of the movies made in Bollywood are blatantly copied or partially plagiarized (from other movies). Some of them just take some INSPIRATION and some of them are simply a remake and some even go to the extent of copying the original movie scene-by-scene. They say “Take a Hollywood plot, sprinkle in cheesy song-and-dance numbers and pour in a gallon of melodrama. Shake well, and you’ve got a Bollywood movie.” Well whatever it is, isn’t nice that it is preventing the usage of our resources in thinking about the story, scenes and even the dialogues.

 4.       Make and then Remake

If someone feels embarrassed to copy (there is no reason to be embarrasses about it) from Hollywood, they can simply go for a remake. Take an old movie, keep the dialogues same, keep the costumes same and just change the actors, and yayy a movie is ready. Even the name of the movie remains the same. After all Old is gold :P . But, just a word with the producers and directors (and someone pls tell me who among both of them actually make a movie :D ), we all humbly request you not to horrify us with the remakes like Karz, and Ram gopal Verma ki movies. We can watch the oldies black and white and be happy.

 5.       All our heroes are the superheroes

We are not talking about RajniKant. He is incomparable. After all every actor can’t bear the pain of so many jokes on him and still fight with 100 villains at a time. We are talking about our Bollywood heroes who jump above the fire, break the walls just to find that find that the villain character which he fight is actually his own relative, old woman which he is looking for is actually his own mother and the head of inspector is his own father and also the judge lawyer is his uncle and so on, etc…there is seriously so much confusion.

Well back to the topic, these superheroes inspire us to learn karate, martial arts and stuff with their nonsense fighting scenes. But we are learning after all, “aur kya bacche ki jaan loge”

But a thought which still baffles audience is “A man would not feel any pain during a big fight always feel plaintive pain when a woman try to clean the wound.” Why is this so? This answer can be given only by our superheroes.

 6. Tadka of the item number:

 Earlier there were two types of DIVAS in Bollywood movies. They were the heroine who was pure as a petal and the vamp who was always naughty, immodest, somebody who drank and smoked. Now we have a third one and this one makes your movie a hit even when it’s the biggest flop. These are the item numbers. From non-meaning lyrics to the hip movements, suggestive gestures, seducing looks, turns and twists of waist, these can drive the masses wild. A lyricist once said “I prefer the lyrics of item songs to be subtly cheap as opposed to downright cheap”… Cheap hona zaruri h kya? :D

From Ishq kamina (what a name) to Main Aayi Hoon UP Bihar Lootne, munni badnaam hui, sheela ki jawani and now Jalebi bai, our Bollywood has rocked the world by its never ending hit item songs.

 7. The KHAN effect:

 Even when there is no script, no good dialogues and no story line what one needs to make it a hit are our KHANs.

I mean in “My Name is Khan” which was epikkhh (from the epiglottis) movie, SRK was acting so retarded in between. And what was he suffering from? Ohh yes, it was Asperger’s syndrome which evidently meant that he was born with “Rainman’s” savant genius and “forrest gump’s” charming naivety. Never mind, but still how did the village people understand “hum hone kamyaab” and wept or how did Jimmy Shergill and co. entered the village when the complete village could not even move out.

And even when SRK fails to teach us, Sallu teaches us a lot. He says to the writers, forget the script and the themes. Muscles-shuscles and some heavy dialogue-shialogue mouthed with anger is the new mantra to ensure box office success, at least on the first day (how could else bodyguard be a HIT..ewww). And once you acquire the mass on the right body parts, acquire also a designer who stitches shirts with barely has thread work-so that they furl open at the slightest hint of touch-of the wind, of the water pipe or even if she blows a flying kiss, the movie will be a megahit. This is what one call KHAN EFFECT.

 8.       The “latkas and the jhtakas”

4 weeks in Switzerland + London + New Zealand + Canada = 4 minute song in Hindi movie.

This is the importance of the Hindi songs. These songs make the dream of the dancers of the reality shows come true, they help the actors to travel the world for which they always long for. How emotional!

But when the two lovers dance in the middle of blank field, nobody till date knows where the 100 other people come from and suddenly rejoin them to dance together with them. Now only this but how when they are tumbling and running rotating while singing and suddenly appear again with different suit or clothes is also a mystery.

 People may say Bollywood repeats itself but I say it’s full of these small and IMPORTANT mysteries. It cherishes our life. It gives us a reason to be lively and cheerful. It helps us to keep the girlfriends shut their mouths while they see the 3 hour long movie unlike English movies which are just 2 hours long. It gives the job to sons and daughters of all actors who again become the actors and say “I had been always interested in Bollywood like my mom/dad”. “My mom/dad is my idol”.:P…

When Bollywood gives us so many reason to cherish upon we also thank it by watching its repeating, boring and many a times stupid stories. A SALUTE to it :P
