We respect Indian cinema and we love it to the core. After all, every Friday hundreds of crores are at stake and so is the future of so many actors, artists and film makers. And why not! We are the largest movie producing country of the world! We love the action sequences where people are flying around due to the punch of our protagonist, we completely adore the song sequences which takes us through 4 European countries in 4 minutes, we hold our breaths when the doctor typically terrifically announces "Ab sab uppar wale ke haath me hai...", we cry our hearts out when the hero announces "Mai yeh ghar humesha ke liye chod ke jaa rha hu..." ...
And why shouldn't we? After all, we are the emotionally active and sentimentally childish people. And what is wrong with that? Doesn't every mother feel proud of herself, when the mother in the movie, who is invariably an epitome of ultimate sacrifice, announces "Kya isi din ke liye tujhe paal pos ke bada kiya tha?". She has the right to say this because she is the one jisne apne bache ko Doctor ya Lawyer banane ke liye duniya ka har gum aur zaalim zamane ka har jakhm jhela hai. It is really bereaving to see her crying because "Hum kisi ko muh dikhane layak nahi rahe", due to the 'kookarm' of her daughter! Although the conversation between mother and son is limited to usually three dialogue filled with honey like sweetness which could give you a diabetes. These are - "Maa...Maa, mai aa gaya hoon" (where the hero announces his return to his home), "Maa dekh main tere liye kya laya hu..." (trying his best to surprise his mom), and "Maa...Maa...Maa..." (just like that...)!
Another stereotype of an old hindi movie could be the hero's/ heroine's friend. It is this character who gets some of the high-on-emotion dialogues sometimes. They can be instrumental in defining the financial status of the hero in front of the third party ("Uska dosh sirf itna hai vaqeel babu, ki wo ek...wo ek GAREEB hai"). They are also very less demanding, but when they demand, it is usually the precious life of their valuable friend ("Bhagwaan, maine aaj tak tujhse kuch nahi maanga...lekin aj..."). They might also be temporary doctors, announcing the medical condition of the protagonist to their parents, ("Arrey, isko to tez bukhaar hai maa ji..."). These characters can best be played by Chunky Pandey, Jugal hansraj, Shatrughan sinha, Jimmy shergill and Arshad Warsi.
Since this discussion can go on and on, we would prefer it to continue in the next blog. However, I would not dare to miss another stereotype of our bollywood, i.e. the inverse proportion between the financial condition and "neeyat" of the characters. The characters which are rich, are invariably extremely bad...oops sorry, they are neech, kapti, or maybe a gandi naali ka keeda. On the contrary, the characters from a humble background have a heart of gold, they are the saviours of their respective villages...in short, jinke paas Bhagwaan ka diya kuch nahi hota, siway pyaar ke...
On this note, I close with the promise to bring more on our very own country India - with a humorous touch...
Adios! ;)
