Khiladi 786


One year ago, Himesh Reshamiya met Akshay Kumar in a flight and they started chatting:
AK - Hi HR, why are you looking so upset?
HR - Sir, I want to sing, compose music and act in films.
AK - So?
HR - So this that no film producer is giving me a chance to do all that.
AK – hmmm
After a minute…….
HR – Sir, I have a brilliant idea, why don’t you and I together produce a film wherein I get a chance to do all this.
AK – but why will I produce a film if you have to act in that!
HR – No no Sir, I’ll play second lead (while thinking in his mind, “as it is, who’ll come to watch the film if I play main lead”)…..main hero of film will be you only
AK – hmmm
HR – and we’ll title it something with Khiladi…this was your franchisee Sirji with highest ever number of films made in India on any franchise and you have just left it!! We’ll restart your Khiladi series after so many years Sir; imagine the hysteria it’ll create.
AK – And who’ll play the heroine?
HR – Sir, this year, Asin has given two 100 crore hits in Housefull 2 and Bol Bachchan so we’ll take her
AK – what rubbish, what did Asin do in those two films!!
HR – Sirji, we’ll not make her do anything in our film too, she’ll only fill the heroine slot and bring lady luck to us
AK – but what all is the film about?
HR – Sir, I have an absolutely fresh and new idea….we’ll have you play a goon who cons people by playing a cop but is not able to find a bride, then there would be another goon who is unable to find a groom for his sister and I’ll play a marriage mediator who’ll bring you two together. And this sister will already be in love with another goon with some side track on them too and you’ll try to sacrifice your love for making them meet but then this sister will change her mind and come back to you.
AK – Oh…so it’s a love story
HR – No no Sirji, it’s different. It’ll also have lot of songs composed and sung by me
AK – Oh…so it’s a musical story
HR – No no Sirji, it’s different. We’ll also have your extended family with African grandmother, Indian father, Canadian mother, Chinese Aunty and a lost twin brother too who all will keep on coming in between and speak some dialogues.
AK – Oh…so it’s a family story
HR – No no Sirji, it’s different. We’ll also have some comedians like Johny Lever, Bharti Singh, Sanjay Mishra and Ghuggi who’ll keep on coming in between and speak some dialogues.
AK – Oh…so it’s a comedy story
HR – No no Sirji, it’s different. We’ll also have you knocking down 20 people with one punch.
AK – Oh…so it’s an action story
HR – No no Sirji, it’s different. It’s a multi mega masala entertainer ever.
AK – ok, let’s do it

I wish above had remained my imagination only but this film seems nothing short of result of some such random conversation. Cinema Analyst's Take – Stay away, don’t angry yourself :-)

  1. I think you want to get hired by some sort of media house for a permanent job of film analyst. That is why you have been writing all this non-sense about movies. You need to get some tutorials on different aspect of film making and then you also need to read something about different kind of films. Then you should start reading the film analysis of some experts. Then you should start from the early 60s movies to get a feel of different type of film making.

    Every film is not made for an intelligent person like you. There are some fools out there who like just watching movies for entertainment not for brain storming.
    Thanks for your review.

    1. Hey Anonymous, Anonymous here.

      While your opinion is that the blogger sounds like he wants to get hired by a media house, my opinion is that you're either having a bad day, or maybe a string of bad days, which makes you feel like coming to such blogs uninvited and adding comments which can, at best, be described as useless feedback.

      @The blogger - Dude, please ignore the reactions of the other Anonymous and continue with your reviews. To me they are pretty accurate, and it's nice to read a informal reviews rather than the oh-so-technically-correct reviews one can get on IMDb. Screw the useless cinema show-off knowledge of how movies were made in 50's and 60's, and continue with your reasonably accurate (at least to me and other people I know) description of movies.

      Also, the following article will help you deal better with trolls like the other Anonymous - http://theoatmeal.com/comics/making_things.

      Looking forward to many more reviews from you :)
