Coolie..

blogging is pretty difficult these days...going by the way our beloved college's piling the work on us. Anyways..I did get some time to see one of the very good 'comedies' of the 1980s..Coolie. Yeah..you guessed it right, the Big B starer. May be director Manmohan Desai did plan a serious venture, but me and my family here found it pretty funny to see out of the world things happen. For example:

A falcon (Big B's pet) always enters the scene from god knows where to come and spoil the villain's plans. The poor fellow has no choice but to look around helplessly(despite having all weapons to take care of that damned bird) till it comes and does good with his eyes!!!(boy what an eye popper!!!!) My apologies on not posting any pictures here..will try for them in the next post...

The characters in the movie are all related to one another through some means...like some orphan child happens to be one principal character's son and so on..you know..the stereotypical Bollywood stuff..funny enough..

This happens to be one of those movies where the show the incredible punctuality of the reel cops!! and the fools, they arrive in time only to arrest the only hot chick in the movie!!! how dumb!!!

We return to our friend, The Falcon here who truly has a great life span, does every thing that a man can do...like pick up a gun, almost talk to Big B..spot the baddie all alone and pluck out his eyes, get out of a closed car on its own..and what not!!! it was a treat to watch such marvels!!! Now, I'm considering getting one myself...may be it'll help me finish my assignments off!!!!!

Besides the comic part of the movie...it had a strong sense of Communism and a strongly echoing message of communal harmony throughout...I guess some of those Left parties might've considered putting the falcon as their party mascot or something...dunno why the didn't do it...

At the end of the movie..Big B gets shot thrice in his chest from a revolver at point blank range and still the Godly Docs at Bollywood manage to save him..sounds some what parallel to a few of those Tamil movies where the lead hero can die only if he chooses to!!!! For example..in the recent movie Sivaji, Rajnikanth gets a decent shock from a 440 V supply, he's given a few shock pulses into his heart after a few hours and he zooms back to life with that heavily accented "cool" on his lips!!

At the end of the day...no matter how much unexpected be a movie's outcome...as long as its from bollywood...it still provides entertainment in some form...be it a serious story with comic outcomes or cheap comedies or those in which only the feminine element is worth watching..
