3 "biggest blockbusters" of 2011, staring 2 "superstars". After successfully watching all 3 (not in the theatre of course) I really appreciate myself not falling for their publicity stunts. The disappointment began with the movie 'Ready', it was making news allover after its release. Salman effect clicked once more after the success of Dabang. I kept telling myself "don't fall for box office figures, don't fall for 'dhinka chika' topping all charts.. it would soon come on "showcase" you can watch it there". Thankfully i listened to my inner voice.
Watched it on showcase and many questions started popping in my head. What do these so called stars think we audience are "stupid?".. hell yeah.. box office figures are showing that. The story was pointless, performances were mediocre, no fancy locations, weird family (i mean what was that swimming pool scene), average music.. yet a success. How? Why?
That time I thought "Ready" is the most pathetic movie of 2011 when it was perhaps asking us to get 'ready' for coming hell.. and came "Bodygurad". Salman's second movie "Bodyguard" released within couple of months after "Ready". I never had great expectations from this movie and thought it might not click as "Ready" was already a box office success.. moreover Salman was not available for promotion. Obviously audience had something else in mind. Bodyguard got biggest openings ever. Again I kept telling myself "Ready has already proved i should not fall for this.. don't fall for Katrina's item number ('Sheila ki jawani' has already wasted my hard earned 1000 rupees:-)).. it would soon come on "showcase" you can watch it there". Thankfully i listened to my inner voice one more time.
Watched this one on showcase and i could not believe myself as i instantly felt 'Ready' was actually better than 'Bodyguard', at-least it had some plot however illogical and stupid the movie actually did stick to it. Whatever happened in last 30 minutes in 'Bodyguard' was beyond imagination. I said.. here it is "Bodyguard" - the most pathetic movie of 2011.
Luckily for Salman, SRK had plans of his own. Ra One was the most hyped movie of 2011. Released in Diwali vacations, it was bound to have huge openings. I am not SRK fan so never really wanted to watch this one in cinema hall. This one got pretty bad reviews all over. People who saw the film were going nuts over Ra One and SRK. Still lot of people around me went and watched this 3-D movie spending much more on it than usual. This time i was completely sure, i did not want to watch it on showcase either (it still costs you 50 rupees). I waited patiently till its television release on star gold HD and boy what the hell was that. Even 'Bodyguard' started looking better in comparison with Ra. One. There were so many flaws in the storyline, and SRK is totally confused throughout the movie about how actually the 'video game character' SRK should act. Was this video game character suffering from autism (specially in the last scene of the movie) or its My name is khan effect on SRK. Ra One yet managed to collect more than 100 crores at box office (at least i did not contribute :-)). How? Why?
Here I am.. waiting for a movie which makes mi think.. 'Ra One' was actually not that bad :-) Come on "Superstars" of bollywood, you can do it..
