One fine day, the Akhtars and the Sidwanis were having tea to get rid of a bad hangover. One of them (I used they/them, I m a liberal now, yipee) excused themself to the restroom and as they were reaching out for the toilet roll, thought of making a movie. Since the hangover was really bad, it was difficult to think of a story and hiring a writer was too much of a task. But they realized that the Indian audience likes celebrating mediocrity. So, what was the need to write an engaging plot? They already had a formula. A formula that had worked in the past - three friends, two of them have a fight, the third friend stays put, and they are friends again in the end - only this time the characters had very little depth, each of the subplots were bland, to say the least, and there was very little novelty.
One thing that could have saved the movie was a touch of virtue signalling, but then here's scene 1 - Two men are fighting. Man 1 pins down Man 2 but none of them is seriously hurt. Then the friend of Man 2 comes in and breaks the nose of Man 1. So far so good - Man 2, Man 3, and Lady 1 celebrate the disproportionate response of Man 3 to Man1 (Man 3 breaks Man 1's nose). Everyone is happyyyy.
Next scene- Man 3 accepts that he had earlier given a disproportionate response to his ex girlfriend who had emotionally bullied him and Lady 1 goes absolutely mad at him for the disproportionate response. Hypocrisy much?
Anyway, Bollywood will continue to produce such ordinary movies until the people continue to celebrate them. So, I'll have my review posted, lock the phone, and go to sleep. Cheers!
