RGV – oh, he did make this one. You know how this rolls. A hypothetical assumption of how these trademark directors who are the flagbearers of Bollywood would recreate this cinema classic. How’s that for an introduction? I think I fared well, considering I did away with any possible fluff – that’s left for these dirs to add.

He’ll go into the history of the psyche of Gabbar’s character. Most important questions that could be answered from Mr.Gowariker’s analysis – What inspires Gabbar to loot Ramgarh? What makes him eat Khaini? And most importantly, why Gabbar fancies Thakur’s hands so much? An elongated montage piece of how Gabbar’s ancestors were oppressed by some Brit bloke during the Raj period. Also, some sort of sports competition involving an underdog (to be played by AK Hangal) vs. the Daku ki Toli led by Sambha. There will be no item numbers whatsoever, and Harman Baweja will be in a quadruple role portraying all the male leads – Gabbar, Jai, Veeru and Thakur.

It is still Monday here, so here we go. I am a bit upset why I did not make this when I made the original Neetu Singh playlist. But anyway, here we go.
Well, now for the dirty part. After the jump there are two ladies ( I promise for the only time they’ll ever be featuring on this website, until the next time i.e. ).

I am going through a mental state right now. And hence, my ideas, my thought process and my interpretation of daily life is bizarre (even for me). It’s probably an after-effect of sleeping 5 hours a day, and watching too much sci-fi. For the uninitiated, I am a self-proclaimed geek ( I have a separate blog catering to that side of me – 9e3k ). Anywho, that bit of background information was necessary, because whilst recapping to 2000′s JP Dutta feature – Refugee, I have made some liberal changes in the name of creativity and the sole purpose of achieving ‘Nirmal Anand’.
Original synopsis: Refugee tells the story of two lovers from either side of the border. Abhishek portrays the lead role of Refugee, an illegal transporter facilitating families to cross the border. And then he falls in love with one of the passengers – Naaz (Kareena Kapoor ). And then they sing, they dance, they face conflicts from the border authorities, and eventually overcome all odds. And oh, she conceives a baby and has the delivery at the Line of Control. And if I can remember correctly, Suniel Shetty ( who plays this Pakistani army dude) names that holy place of delivery – Insaniyatstan. Epic Etymology.
Now with no disrespect to JP Dutta or to the entire team of Refugee, hasn’t that story of love been done a zillion time before? Ok, not a zillion times agreed ( there aren’t as many movies made yet LOL). How about we give Refugee, the much needed booster kick and convert it into an Epic Sci-Fi saga. In four scenes flat.
Scene 1: Lost in the desert between this universe and the other, is our female lead – Bebo.
Yes, she is cursed by a Timelord. Not Samay ( or Harish Bhimani), but by a proper Timelord, who sucks out energy from her life-source. That is, the remaining time she has to live, is all converted into KiloJoules of energy, and she is stuck in this time-frame of 4 seconds. Poor girl.
Scene 2 commences after the jump.

Lets have some fun. I haven’t had those in quite some time now. LOLjk. We always have fun at OKS (or at least try to have some). Lately, I have been quite busy with work blah blah! So, I haven’t really had the time to reflect upon movies that I watched, liked or disliked. But I underestimated my own brain. Hehe.
Ok, to prove that, let me tell you with what I came up this time. Think of two totally unrelated characters and let’s bring them together. For instance (as is evident from the title) – Baburao Apte aka Babu Bhaiya (from Hera Pheri ) and Luckvinder Singh aka Lucky (Oye Lucky Lucky Oye ). I know , I know – Babu Bhaiya, I mean Paresh Rawal portrayed Lucky’s father’s role. But it still doesn’t count as an overlap.
Think of the characters:
Babu Bhaiya: Jai Maharashtra!! He’s a kind bloke at heart. Runs a garage, is a drunkard (he likes his khamba) and has two harami tenants. He’s got signature carbon-framed glasses, wears a dhoti always and is troubled by his phone number (Star Garage) being swapped with Star Fisheries.
