When SRK allegedly slapped Shirish Kunder…

by Sunil Rajguru in Films

SRK: My Name is Khan!

Shirish: Some Tees Maar Khan!

SRK: Chak De! Ek chaanta doonga rakh ke!

Shirish: Joker ban ke raha gaya hu...

Farah: Don’t worry, Main Hoo Na!

Gauri: Om Shanti Om.

Anna: Phakta Ek? Don-Teen lawayche hote na?

(Or even One 2 Ka 4!)

∙ Right now Shirish Kunder is thinking…
Agar main ek FIR file kar du, to it will become…
Ek mulk ki police SRK ka intezar kar rahi hai…
SRK ko pakadna mumkin hi nahi, aasan hoga…

General filmi musings…

by Sunil Rajguru in Films

∙ If Mahesh Bhatt makes a romantic autobiographical film, will he call it Mohabhatt?

∙ Katrina Kaif is starring in the Indian version of Mission: Impossible.
Her Mission? To Act!

∙ Emraan Hashmi should just change his name to Emraan Kissme.
(And is his theme song… Don’t talk just kiss… ?)

∙ If Vidya means education, then does Vidya Balan now mean sex education?

In August, Anna had said… I’ll be back…

by Sunil Rajguru in Films, Politics

After the Fellowship of the Team Anna and The Two Fasts, we are looking at the Return of the Hunger King in December when Mr Hazare Goes to Delhi (the Sin City) to complete the Lord of the Fastings trilogy. But will Anna show True Grit and be The Rock or will he simply continue to call the government Liar Liar? The Congress on its part will look at Team Anna and say Look Who’s Talking!, continuing to call it the Enemy of the State.

What Lies Beneath the news? There will no point in Switching Channels as all of them will show the same ole Fight Club and The Social Network will be abuzz again with activity. The common man, meanwhile, is increasingly bent on showing his Fist of Fury.

But still, The Tihar Redemption looks unlikely and the UPA won’t rely on Transformers or go in for a new Avatar. It’s all badly Tangled:  The UPA could well sink like the Titanic The Day After Tomorrow in 2012. So all in all it does appear a Mission: Impossible.

India is all about Eat Pray Love? Come December and it could well only be Fast Swear Hate.

Bonus…

More Hollywood ways of looking at the April-August-December (if it takes place) fasts…

The Anna Identity. The Anna Supremacy. The Anna Ultimatum. (Bourne)

Anna. Anna Reloaded. Anna Revolutions. (Matrix)

Slapgate in Bollywood dialogues…

by Sunil Rajguru in Films, Politics

Karma (1986)
Sharad Pawar ko pahali baar kisi ne thappad maara hai, first time. Is thappad ki goonj suni tumne? Ab is goonj ki goonj tumhe sunai degi aur dikhai degi, jab tak TV channels chalte rahenga tab tak dikhai degi, sunai dega 24X7… ye thappad bhoolega kabhi nahi na ye desh na ye TV channels aur na ye viewers…

Dabangg (2010)
Thappad se dar nahin lagta hain sahab… actually thappad se hi dar lagta hain sahab!

Post script…
Tired of incidents of shoe and slipper throwing, someone decided, “Apna haath, Jagannath.”
