Maaf karo yaar, time nahi hai

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is hell-bent on making movies about the physically challenged. Khamoshi (deaf-mute), Black (blind, deaf-mute), Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (Salman Khan-go figure), Devdas (SRK-stammer), Saawariya (Ranbir-nudist - may be a disability in some countries) and now Guzaarish. There are other movie directors who have tackled autism and dyslexia too.
Chrys suggests that we should take inspiration and come up with a script for more common illnesses like ... well... the common cold.
The protagonist would undertake extremely dangerous tasks like taking a bath in cold water, getting wet in the rain, diving into swimming pools, etc; all to gather enough money for his nose surgery. He suffers from a deviated nasal septum and is prone to colds.

Other movie ideas include
- Smelly Feet - even the temple deities run away when the protagonist comes to worship after removing his shoes.
- Absence of a sense of humour - Tons of politicians would qualify
- Kleptomania - Oh wait, Farah Khan has already completed Tees Maar Khan.

Chrys has loads of other ideas (mostly unprintable). Worth wasting time on instead of watching an SLB movie.

Pls. when you make your movie don't wrap it in red, black or blue tones. Make it more real and natural.

Back to reality. Serves you right to watch a SLB movie.

By the way I watched Harry Puttar today. Paisa vasool.

Hey, I did not watch Guzaaaaarish. I am only guessing that it's bad and I'm sure it's a good guess.
I want to watch Hari Puttar... will do today/tomorrow.

Heyyy :))) Excellent post. Also, there is a Mr. Know-All in office and he is a 'bhakt' of SLB. I sent him the link to this post just to get him raving and ranting and then irritated him further by saying, "I think this post is very true and very funny. Why are you taking it personally ? Why can't you just appreciate somebody's creativity ? Isn't anybody allowed to have an opinion that is different than yours ?" Ohhhh what fun the girl-gang in office had seeing him so riled :))) Thanks for that !

By the way, I'm going to post on my blog each day from 9th Dec. to 8th Jan. under NaBloPoMo (http://www.nablopomo.com).
Do drop by whenever possible.
