I like analyzing the stupidity of people. Make no mistake, I
analyse mine too!
The current trend, which I am observing for last two-three
years, is barking at big names, persons who have given their best in their
respective fields and achieved love and respect. Now, in this world that we
live in, both love and respect are funny concepts! People enjoy stupidity,
violence, anarchy.
That is why a “Human-Being”
like Salman Khan breaks box office records with films like Dabangg and
Bodyguard, as well as enjoys the Bhai-status;
whereas a fighter like Shah Rukh Khan is made fun of for whatever he tries.
Yes, there were movies like Om Shanti Om or Rab ne Banadi
Jodi(2nd half) where SRK didn’t do anything noteworthy but there are
more than 50 examples where this man has given his best to entertain the
audience! I have a question today. Do you know what it takes to get up every
morning knowing you are SRK and that you have to live up to a billion
expectations of the millions?
You don’t, since you have never given it a thought! You grew
up watching KKHH or DDLJ but just as you got the flavour of the false intellectualism, you decided to
criticize Bollywood and everything to do with it. Ah! You’ll say, “Hang on! I
don’t criticize Amir Khan”. Yes, you don’t, I agree. But there is a subtle
difference. Amir Khan has given us movies which belong to the real world. That,
my friend becomes easy to appreciate. SRK, on the other hand has given his life
to the world of fantasy, a world that does not exist (news! Amir is a failure
here). Think of it. Think of the conviction with which he plays the role of a
lonely person in love ( jab tak hai jaan)
or a music teacher who has lost everything yet he is there to teach you how to
love(Mohabbatein).
To fall in love with fantasy, you have to be in fantasy
first. A man like Yash Chopra knows how to make a movie and that’s why he is
what he is (yes, he lives on). Ask yourself what you seek in a movie. As for me, I look for the good things, always have and always
will. May be that’s why I have had to hear phrases like “tor bhalo laga to… tor to sob kichui bhalo lage”. I’ll tell you
what I don’t like. I don’t like people who pretend. I don’t like selfishness. I
don’t like superiority complex that so many of my contacts regularly suffer
from.
But let me finish this with what I do like.
EVERYTHING CREATIVE.
