It’s a bird… it’s a plane… its mohabbat-man!!
Farah Khan is back, with a movie that clearly depicts her love for Bollywood in a affectionately humorous way. Who else would have thought that someone could easily take the credit for one of the most famous quotes in Indian cinema? With Farah, everything is possible, she even has Shah Rukh wrapped around her fingers.
This movie had already made more than 100% profit even before the release of the film, the rights sold to Eros, cost 65 crore, that is a 35 crore profit from a cost of 30 crore, they could have released the movie tickets for free, but then stampedes and over-crowding of Cineplex’s would incur loss in civil lawsuits against her and SRK, the producer of the film.
We see SRK playing a Junior Artist in the late 70s, the settings, and ambience brings you back to numerous memorable (but also funny bone tickling) moments in the Bollywood industry. For those who have grown up watching those 70s and 80s movies, there are a lot of scenes you’d identify with and also roll on the floor laughing.
Newcomer Deepika is playing Hema Malini-ish heroine in the 70s, even appears with many surprises and familiar faces of that era. Our (junior) hero falls for her only to discover some surprises in the interval, and later is involves in an accident that takes his life.
‘Pickar abhi baaki hai, mere dost’ as we hear in the promos, the movie is yet to continue. Om is reincarnated, and 30 years later (thankfully, cos seeing SRK play his 20s is no more acceptable) we see him as an arrogant actor born to a famous filmi family (hint… hint). And from here, with a series of events, (the new) Om regains his memories from his previous life, and is determined to take revenge.
This doesn’t mean the second half is filled with boring dramebazi, in the 2000s we actually we to see more parody and spoof portrayed on the actors of the current era, and many references made to the current situation of Indian cinema… want to know more, I guess you should catch the movie, cos Farah is a much better story teller than me!
