Looking forward to Fanaa and Krrish is all that one can hear when any one is queried abt any Hindi movies one would like to see. Is it really possible that these movies will be that 'big', well , i dont have an answer. But it just goes to further highlight the case of pathetic scripts that are being turned into "Expected" money spinning jumborees.
Fanaa is talked abt for the romantic pairing of Aamir Khan and Kajol(any extra 'a's??..) but it is after all a love story or something with terrorist under currents(ala Dil Se). At this point only these two things come to mind and i can only sense a film where the protaganists display their true potential and manage to rise above the fim than vice-versa.
Krrish is India's first Batman-Superman combo dished out for Children and who are children at heart. u'll say...c'mon....so many 'heroes' jump from 10 storey buildings without any protection, escape from fast skidding cars.... unhurt.....etc. ..etc...
but ,this my friend is a film where the 'Hero' has the official license to do that. Frankly, this doesnt excite me....... period.
If we further look into this year's releases we have KANK, Dhoom 2 , Omkara , Munnabhai:2nd Innings...and some other interesting projects that come to mind as 'interesting'.
Deep down, if we begin to analyze why so many movies depend on glitz and glamour than substance to stake their claim;.. only thing that comes to mind is that India is still a land of hard-working , toiling workers who wish to day-dream and they find a medium in movies.
This u can say bcoz in 80's when the feeling of being wronged was widely prevalent in youth psyche.. Amitabh Bachchan was doing his 'Angry Young man' roles and was quite a hit.
Its just that ..those days have given way to this era..where dreams not only have wings..but are capable of carrying you on them.
