Dostana - Abhishek Bachchan John Abraham and Priyanka

John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and Abhishek Bachan’s Dostana is truly a comedy movie, which turns everything into laughter it touches, even the sensitive issue of homosexuality. It has been a success but not as big as Karan had expected it to be. Karan Johar has claimed that Dostana will be the last “Karan Johar Typical” movie. Karan is trying to re-invent himself as a producer and director with movies like ‘My Name is Khan’ and ‘Wake up Sid’.

Dostana is a bollywood ripoff movie of “I now pronounce Chuck and Larry” and “Two to Tango”. It was a good concept, no doubt about that but gives a misconception to the whole concept of being gay. It’s being gay not acting gay.

We understand that our caring Karan did not want to project anything like that but it’s what the community (gay community) conceives. Surprisingly, critics had nothing to say but to praise the new direction of Karan Johar. Even some of the gay activists enjoyed the fact that John Abraham and Abishek Bachan played gay characters in the film, but that is only a small detail of the picture. The whole picture was blunt truth expressed by a Delhi based fashion designer Gaurav Gupta, who has always sympathized with homosexual causes. “It is encouraging that for the first time the theme is a part of a mainstream Hindi movie but I fear it hasn’t been dealt with in a positive way. It’s evident from the film’s trailer that homosexuality is nothing more than a joke in the film,” said Gupta. Common man watches a movie and thinks of it as reality after coming out of the cinema unlike the elite class who looks for a hidden message in the film. Of course one can not claim that India’s majority is the elite class now, can we? Therefore, in my opinion movies are supposed to have an upfront message not a hidden one.

Dharma production claims that the message was to the parents considering the scene where Kiran Kher barges into the apartment when she finds out that her son might be gay and surprisingly supports him. Being in a common man’s shoes I say it was just another comedy scene for me. On the whole the movie is a comedy paradise and so is the word ‘gay’. It really does not offend the gay community but alas the whole world ends up laughing on gays.

Of course, caring Karan had to say something in defense. “This is just a baby step to Brokeback Mountain,” says Karan. Well, if this is your baby step then we all can figure out that its centuries before a brokeback mountain coming from you Karan. The movie is yet another platform to provide comic kicks on the sensitive issue of homosexuality and thus does not create any liberalism towards homosexuality.

The terrorist attack on Mumbai has been a devastating savagery after 9/11 and assassination of late Benazir Bhutto. One could not have imagined that something so destroying can happen. It seems that it is unpredictable even for the high authorities in the government to envisage the next step of these wild dogs (terrorists). Who were involved? Whether they belonged to Pakistan or some place else? Whether they had connections in the India-Pakistan government or not? No one knows. What we know is that people in India and Pakistan have been shaken, all are petrified to even step out and so are our beloved Bollywood actors and actresses. As if everything was seized when this slaughtering started and I do not use the word seized regarding films and movies but tongues seized too. Actors and Actresses were traumatized, did not know what to say or how to react.

Amitabh Bachan who had been shooting for his film Teen Patti in Ballard estate in the southern areas of Mumbai, in the district of the CST station describes the situation as ‘Terrible’.

After a few days of silence he writes in his blog.

‘Mumbai under terrorist attack! Several locations bombed and terrorist firing all over the city. Major hotels under seize. Multiple actions on. Army called on. It is a terrible situation.’

Ajay Devgan and his wife Kajol were cancelled off with their shooting of their animation film Toonpur ka superhero because of the circumstances in the city. It was awfully depressing for them. One of their spokesmen said that several TV channels have asked their employees to stay indoors. Shootings are going slow and that most of them are not even happening.

‘The Four Khans’ of the Bollywood industry were also threatened by the little known about ‘Indian Mujahideen outfit’. They have also claimed accountability for the Ahmedabad blasts. This threatening email was received on a Sunday. It said that the Muslim actors should stop acting in films at once or face death.

A lot of famous personalities in the Bollywood industry commented on this letter. Prashant Pandey, writer of Ram Gopal’s “Contract”, an action thriller movie which is said to be uncannily similar to how the Ahmedabad blasts were plotted (A movie being so similar to the reality is indeed a strange coincidence). He said in his statements that it was very unfortunate that actors were being targeted in the name of religion. One of the most hard statements came out of Aziz Mirza, who’s ‘Kismat Konnection’ had just been released, he said that terrorists must be cold shouldered. He says, “The terrorists are stupid guys. You don’t react to them. You just negate them. They can do whatever they want. Nobody listens to mad dogs. Nobody in the industry will give a reaction. Producers, directors, writers etc. were shocked but remained silent and so does Bollywood stays united behind the four Khans.

We all feel exceedingly remorseful for the loss of our beloved actor Ashish Chaudhury’s sister and brother-in-law. Thousands became sad on reading Ashish’s letter which he wrote to break the silence. I personally do not have words, what to write here for Ashish. We can only imagine that what would those two innocent kids (of Ashish’s sister and brother-in-law) be going through. I had always learnt that life is cruel but never adapted it. Now, I realize that the truth is that people in the form of terrorists make life cruel. On one hand I feel sad for Kanishq (12) and Ananaya (7) but on the other hand I want to tell Ashish that they are lucky to be taken care of. I picture those people who have no one, absolutely no one in this world now. I give my sincere condolences and show my sadness to our beloved actor, to all those people who are survivors and to those who have lost and let them know that we are here standing united to support.

Bollywood actresses like Sushmita, Aishwarya and Priyanka rule the skies and hearts of millions of people but when a lay man thinks that bollywood actresses are naturally perfect then I suppose he/she is in for a big shock. Eight years ago poor Sushmita Sen had teary eyes in a conference where she denied her Aesthetic Surgery (breast enhancement). Yes, these girls go through a lot before looking absolutely gorgeous. Well, our beloved Sushmita Sen goes clean but what about other actresses. Surprisingly people today actually enjoy talking about breast enhancements, silicone bags, silicone pouches, liposuction, cosmetic surgery and etc. and trust me if you think I am wrong then you would not have been here reading this.

The trend of pushup bras in the Western culture in the 80’s created the hunger. Pushup bras were felt comfortable to wear and to talk about in the bollywood industry in 1964, and then the competition rose in our politically organized film industry.

Aesthetic surgery also known as the B job in our slang language has been more actively practiced by our Dr. Ashok Gupta, a famous aesthetic surgeon. He does approximately 15 to 20 surgeries in a month that’s only one surgeon we are telling you about. Of course, B-job has been famous all over the world but let’s talk about our industry. The “Who has the fake boobs in bollywood list” OR “I have gotten a B-job done list” consists of actresses like Shilpa Shetty, Priyanka Chopra, Ayesha Takia (I personally give her 5/5), Sushama Reddy, Bipasha Basu, Rakhi Aditi Govitrikar and Koena Mitra (she has apparently had two). The last one actually gave me the laughs, I mean two times sheesh. What is the point?

Well the point is that the glamorous yummy looking figures are fake! And its heavily affecting the young generation. Dr. Narendra Pandya says half of the time 18 year olds are under his knife. What these teenagers do not know is that these likely cost effective surgeries can create fungus and leak inside those wobbly results of yours and the expensive ones, well they can cost an 18 year old a life time or perhaps their parents would pay for their costs. This is one thing which I hate about our actresses getting the B-job done and then openly talking about it and not only that but feeling good when these young girls follow their footsteps. Surprisingly mothers, grand-mothers, sisters, daughters, friends etc. enjoy talking about it. There is an interesting thought that once food, shelter and clothing are dealt with then one starts worrying about stuff like boobs, noses and fat all over the body to sum it up. This country is going in the hands of aesthetic surgeons more because of the B****es in the bollywood industry who like to show off their round huge chewable gummy boobs and talk about them more in open.
