Have you ever been forced to go for a film that you know would be an absolute disaster...i think we have all been in that predicament at some point in time...my friend convinced me to go for 'humko deewana kar gaye' i clearly wasn't interested because i wasn't too fond of 'the katrina and akshay kumar pair'..i have seen them together a lot and frankly its getting a bit old. anyway i find it difficult to say no to a friend so i went along. the movie dragged on and i didn't really enjoy the songs because they were boring! and also i found the actress too expressionless...finally the intermission came along and we went out for an icecream. my friend was loving the film so far ...and i think my expression said it all. the icecream was the best part of the film according to me...we went back and i slumped in that chair..
have u seen the movie crash? i think it won an oscar...anyway, they copied a scene from there... basically a woman is trapped in a car. she has just had an accident and the car has overturned.....the petrol from the engine is leaking and the car is going to explode at any time. In the movie crash, an african american woman is hesitant to be rescued by a white police officer because he abused her earlier on in the film. its such a moving scene...if u haven't seen the film..its really worth watching..
i was so shocked that..they copied that scene...instead katrina has married anil kapoor. she has the accident and she wants to die because she can't imagine her life without akshay kumar....what a stupid reason to 'want to die'.....she isn't coming out even after much persuasion. Finally, akshay kumar comes and talks to her for like half an hour and then madame is rescued out....immediately the car blows up...in reality, i think Lord Yama would have arrived and done his job! i truly felt they robbed the sanctity from the original shot...i was totally disappointed with that scene...
we came out...and i was so irritated...anyway the driver came and we headed home. on the way back my friend said, 'yea the movie was ok...you were the one who wanted to watch it!'
omg! what!?!? are you kidding me? it was your idea.....i was speechless...and then she said..oh ok hehe i thought you were interested too...then she goes on to say she loved the film and wanted to watch it again.....
i thought to myself..i really need to make myself clearer next time..i might even add subtitles for clarity....(we are still good friends, don't worry!)
I have been in different schools in qatar so when i meet friends from each school i don't like to mix them up ...so i spend time with them separately. My dear friend suku and I decided to go to City Centre to watch a film, have some dinner and catch up. We made plans the previous day and we decided to leave around 10 in the morning. i slept a bit late but i managed to wake up...she picked me up at 10 and i was incredibly groggy. we were in the car having a lovely conversation. for some reason i started singing 'sway with me' in a man's voice...she thought it was hilarious and stopped concentrating on the road. she was laughing with her head down on the steering wheel...i freaked out and so i woke up fully at that point. i tell you those moments work better than an alarm clock. she goes on to tell me that she didn't sleep the entire night because she usually sleeps around 5 and was worried she wouldn't be up on time if she snoozed then...fair enough...it was very thoughtful of her to be this considerate.
so we go to the listings on the board...we didn't plan 'which' movie we were going to see before hand. so we tried to pick one...i usually go for a comedy/romantic film...because its light and entertaining...she wanted to watch 'silent hill' ...it looked mysterious according to her.....i couldn't really tell looking at the poster...
we started watching the film...mom and daughter are in the car and suddenly the girl decides to run away from the car....the road behind the car just falls apart....so they are no longer able to go backwards...they enter this weird land where strange deformed goey creatures are striking with lava liquids trying to kill them. i was wondering...why on earth are we watching this film...who would watch this??? its stupid!.......then we saw that there was a couple on the other side making out!...great this is just what we need.
anyway the film gets progressively worse...people in this strange land are out to kill the two and she still can't seem to find her daugher...if i was her i would have given her one tight slap for running away. anyway, a police officer comes to help..she's burned alive...the movie is just awful..just when you think things dont get worse...a 'mummy' woman (wrapped in that ageing cloth) is lifted up ..u can see her eyes through all that cloth...and she starts releasing metal barbed wire from her body and piercing through all these people in that room which is shut...theres blood spurting everywhere i am thoroughly freaked out!!! i feel a bit sick too and just when i turn to get some sympathy from my friend....i found her SNOOZING TO GLORY...she was enjoying some pretty dream and i was being visually tortured with this obnoxious film. omg you have to be in such a situation to know what i was feeling...i gave her a big nudge in the arm...and she went HUH???...
appu: SUKU!!!! YOUR SLEEPING?????
suku: sorry appu....just for like 20 mins...I THINK....
appu: How could you???
suku: its ok its ok...you can tell me....what happened?
appu: what happened...omg how long were you out? i'll tell u when we get out
finally ..she finds her daugher and comes back...but the mother finds out that her husband can no longer see her...so she might be a ghost...so we don't know when she actually died in the film? did she die? was that supposed to be hell? maybe i just didn't understand the film
we came out of the theatre after a while...and she saw my face and hair...oh boy looks like the film really affected you.........YEA!!! i never watch such films.....suku ..i hate horror films they give me the creeps! ok ok ...calm down..you want a cinnabon? ...no i DONT want a cinnabon...ok yikes
just to get over all that ...we had to watch another film...i suggested 'the break up' i thought it would be lighter...notice the irony in the name of the film.....i laugh about that experience every time i meet her...i think it taught me a lot...i never go for a film without watching the trailer.
