Is bollywood jay-walking?

If you were to make a movie as a tribute to your father, what story line would you choose? Patriotism? An Inspirational theme? neo-realism? A romantic comedy? Murder mystery? At worst, occult science? If you can think of more categories, please jot them down and send them over to me. Am really (really!) interested in knowing how many people "vibe" with Karan Johar, who plans to make a movie centered around...hmm...why don't you take a guess? To enhance your imagination, let me remind you of some all-time bollywood classics in the form of brain teasers. If you can solve the first few, the last one should be a cakewalk. So, here you go -

B is A's wife, who happens to be C's sister. A and B became husband and wife after the death of C, who was A's ex-wife. However, B had a secret relationship with D. In the end, A and B together killed D and lived happily ever after.
Hint: Extra-marital affair. Mallika Sherawat. If you cannot guess that, quit reading and please jump out of the nearest accessible window, right now.

A loves D, C might have been in love with B. But A and B, and C and D are husbands and wives. A loved D to such an extent that he even slept with her! In the end, C and B let D elope with A. A and D lived happily ever after.
Hint: Extra-marital affair again. Call it illicit-relationship if you like. His third movie in the 'K' series. All three of them featured the BAD-shah of bollywood.

A loves B. B and C are friends. C is secretly in love with B. While A, B and C are vacationing in the Bahamas-like local location, B drugs C and takes HER to bed!
Hint: B and C are WOMEN! No, it's not Nandita Das and we're not talking about Fire!

Does that tease your brain enough? Okay, now here's the final one; the Karan Johar's father-tribute-stuff that I was talking about, a while ago. It's exactly the same as the last puzzle above, but read the hint very carefully:

A loves B. B and C are friends. C is secretly in love with B. While A, B and C are vacationing in the Bahamas-like local location, B drugs C and takes HIM to bed!
Hint: B and C are MEN! Howzzzzaaaat?

Well, there are umpteen number of such interesting plots that have burgeoned in Bollywood in the recent times. But this one takes the cake -- Karan Johar's ambitious venture titled 'Dostana', featuring Jr.Bachan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra.

'Dostana', which is being produced by Karan Johar as a tribute to his late father Yash Johar, has an innovative theme. Abhishek Bachan and John Abraham are gay. Yes, you heard it right. Oh no, wait! I meant, they act gay. It still is going to be a love triangle (I guess), but interlaced with a homo-sexual relationship this time, for a change.

Here's an excerpt from an interview with the director of the film, Tarun Mansukhani -

"How did John and Abhishek react on knowing they had to act gay?

They are cool, open-minded people. When I narrated the story to John, he laughed and said, 'should I do this with Abhishek?' and that is all. Neither of them had any qualms.
"

Is bollywood gay-walking? Err, sorry, jay-walking?

nice blog you have bro..
RukmaniRam said…
when you said they "act gay" you meant they pretend to be gay? I thought you were putting a disclaimer o sorts out there to your previous statement. :D

Dostana - oh god, how terrible, how awkward, how revolting, what a moral attack - aah ooh hoo haa..

(by the way, what was the movie where both B and C are women and B takes C to bed?) :-D
G U R U said…
@chriz: Dude, these guys are gay -- they give a damn about the theory of human evolution :)

@guru: well, it could ALSO mean that, if you figured so :)

@rukmani ram: The previous comment, "@guru", was actually meant for you. Apologies for the copy-paste error.

@vinesh: The goddamn movie is an Isha-Gopikar starrer, called 'Girlfriend'. Does that ring a bell :) ?
