Returning back home after completing my stressy work schedule , i decided to chill out sitting in front of my TV set tuning into a bollywood movie channel. I am a die hard fan of Bollywood movies , not that there is no spice in Hollywood movies but when we talk and see the bollywood movies its completely entertaining. Hindi Cinema has its own identity. There are many characters which are born through a womb of ideas and creativity. Today we are a part of modern world and globalization. Technology has created a generation where the human mind is completely addicted to it. Mobile Phones , Ipads, Notebooks etc. Existence of Social Media creating a majority of an awareness on all the topics. This is a fast moving world and we all are on our toes crushing our minds and souls to keep on the sustainability. To defeat the foe called stress every individual has its own way to tackle it. I love watching movies.
So coming back to Hindi Cinema . Since its inception there were many stories which were been created by the fathers of cinema , their ideas,creativity were served to the audience in the form of a platter comprising of Comedy,Drama,Tragedy and Literature. Moving on to the generations the concept were changed , keeping in mind those time current scenarios. Every movie had a story which was fictional but it reflected the creativity of the person who have spent days and night to board the script. Now here we talk something about the logical part. As i depicted in my above paragraph existence of technology and a boom of social media have forced today's individual to pinpoint logic in all the current movies. I believe that when we need to keep ourselves out of the cranky feeling after been getting tired , giving few minutes to Illogical things will keep you entertained. But no who wants to do that , our audience is happy with only Logic. Yeah... Yeah i know the education , designation don't allow us to move away from the decorum of being flamboyant. I think sometimes those days of 1980's and 90s though many movies were not pertaining to logic , they were fictional but it holded you back to sit for 3 hours giving a dose of laughter,tears,spook and anxiousness. " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WATCHING"?? a good old friend asked me tapping his forehead blaming me that i have gone bonkers. I told him i am watching something interesting where in a male snake and female snake are transforming from a creature to a human being within seconds , dancing around the bushes and fighthing with a baddie snake charmer who wants to acquire a diamond. There was a burst of laughter from him and i told him you see my narration gave you a joy for a second , think if you see for few hours you will be enlightened . Keeping a link for you guys...
There are many movies in Indian Cinema which are Ilogical but it gives an essence of entertainment for a shortwhile. I came across through one Youtube channel where the two IIT passed dudes making a mockery of some of the Illogical bollywood movies and earning likes and shares. I guess earning revenues too... I am sure if they would have followed Logic they could have been sitting currently right now in some IT server rooms. Dudes nothing offensive ... on the contrary you are giving the audience some laughter through editing ham scenes of this illogical bollywood movies scripted by someone in past which i guess if given a chance today to you boys such hilarious scripts must have never came to your logical minds.. There are many creations from the script writers where logic was being ignored but those days logic was never in the minds of audience when they were entering into the cinema hall. There used to be the cheer and accolades with a large burst of whistling sounds even when there was no logic. The dialogues and the punch lines were enough for a boy among the audience who use to imaginary portray himself as a hero and for a girl who use to smile with a blushness when a hero was praising her lady love by singing running among the trees. There was no Logic but still who needs a logic.
Romance , when it comes to my mind. Romeo-Juliet , Shirin-Farhad or Bollywood romantic movies. A boy absolutely pauper meets a stylish , charming girl travelling in Mercedes in a college. An eye contact blossoms the flowers of love. They cannot resist the charm of their auras. They are staying in a city with full of cars and traffic and when they sing a song within a seconds they are in the hills of Himalayas with snow all over. Then comes the struggle of convincing the bad daddy of the girl who throws a blank cheque on the boy and tells him to forget his charming lady love. The boy fights back saying that he is NOT FOR SALE...
A villian captures the lady and the marriage is all set. The boy now becomes a cowboy and chases the bad man riding a horse who has kidnapped his love and rushing on a jeep. Punches and Kicks and the Bad Daddy in the end becomes a Good daddy.. NO LOGIC , BUT WHO THE HELL NEEDS LOGIC. Many such movies have earned a good cash in those days and they were Jubilee hits. This fictions made many stars a Superstars.
Horror was on peak in 80s. There is only one name which can be recalled in all the bollywood lovers mind. RAMSAY BROS.. Today when i see those movies we give a hefty laugh. A group of young dudes with their babes travelling to an dense jungle in their open jeep. Its a dark night , suddenly their jeep breaks down, One tyre is flat but they are now worried as they are stuck , no jack , no spare tyre as if they just ran from their homes unprepared. Suddenly they see a dark palace , gate is not locked . Now comes a lame crocked man with a lantern in his hand and welcoming them with his scary stare. Still these dudes are cool and check in like as they entering a lobby of a 7 star hotels. Though the palace is closed for years but every room is neat and clean like a Presidential suite.
Sound effects and huge monster appears who walks and chases the babe with a turtle speed. The babe runs fast like Usain bolt but the monster appears and wins the race.
Now there are series of killings happenings in the palace but the dudes are still checked in as if they are enjoying every moment in their presidential suite. Finally the main Hero of the film is the GODDDDD.... who doesnt appear but its statue is enough to give a beam of sonicrays which forces the monster to die.. Die okk he is already dead ... LOGIC...NO LOGIC BUT WHO THE HELL NEEDS LOGIC. Its entertainment.
Now when i think about the baddies , there are many baddies in Bollywood who are Illogical. Today's generation baddies are very serious bollywood baddies. But the Baddies of those illogical movies were quite entertaining. Their names were quite stunning and Illogical but quite funny. Bhujang the dacoit turned into a stylish Smuggler, Bald Shakaal reprising the character inspired from James Bond villian Dr Blofield a cheif of an organization called SPECTRE..only the difference Blofield use to sit with his sweet kitty in his laps , but who can beat bolly shakaal who use to pet a crocodile.
Chappan Tikkli a baddies with 56 moles on a face wow don't need an evil eye to protect from a bad sight. A baddie dacoit who is resting in his prison cell for 11 years and collecting the black powder coated on the stick just to put fire to himself so that he can escape one day. Wow what a logic and what an innovative thought. But who the hell needs logic..
Action is always been a core part of Bollywood movies. There are many action sequences in Bollywood which has given nightmares to the icons like Jackie Chan , Jean Claude Van Damme and Van diesel. Sorry i have not named many of them , but they have been in a huge turmoil that how can these slim and tiny bollywood heroes do this??. Well know actor Rajnikanth is known for his stylish actions which has the ability to win a fight with a single punch making 40 henchmens resting in peace. There are many movies where the story is very simple. A honest cops comes to a small town which is been ruled by a baddie and his bros.
The cop is so honest and fearless that he openly challenges the baddie in his own den. The honest cop wears colourful jackets dances in the open spaces of hills with 25 dancers accompanying. The baddie kills the cop family. Now the cop becomes baddie and he takes revenge. In this entire sequence he jumps from 25 floor building but lands on his toes very smoothly. Jumps like a Dolphins and turns like a gymnast working in a circus. LOGIC..NO LOGIC BUT WHO THE HELL NEEDS LOGIC...
Bollywood Illogical movies always have been an inspiration in some other way , as in today's arena we find logic being given more priority. We know that truth is bitter so taste the bitter pie as we need to live with it. But if we add the sweet honey of Illogical bee that sweetness will lite you up little....
Before winding up i love to share some dialogue and share some bollywood scene which have less consistency of Logic , but WHO THE HELL NEEDS A LOGIC...
