Like when the hero, in all earnestness, tells the heroine: “ Meri zip kholo aur meri gun nikaalo”. Lastly, a Hindi film can teach you how good humour often happens unintentionally.So when Katrina places a coy peck on Hrithik’s lips, one viewer tells her that she did it wrong: “ angrezon wala maanga tha Hrithik ne.” That the audience might know more about kissing than the hero-heroine of a Hindi film.How much does she make every month, even if she looks like Katrina? That a small-town girl, working as a bank receptionist, can fetch fancy takeaway coffee from some hip cafe for her colleagues every day.However much glycerine you may put in her eyes for simulating emotions, not single muscle will move on her face. It’s a different matter that she still can’t be made to act.
This is an action thriller web series starring Faisal Shaikh (aka Mr Faisu) as Raghu & Ruhi Singh. She can even be made to pass off for a bank receptionist. Watch Bang Baang web series streaming only on ALTBalaji. That Katrina can be cast in the role of a small-town girl.That a girl who looks like Katrina Kaif might still have to resort to a dating site to find herself a boyfriend.So, for every bikini bod shot of Katrina, there are ample amounts of well-oiled abs and biceps of Hrithik on display.
That a Bollywood film can foster gender equality.So, not just walking towards the camera, which is de rigueur, here the heroine kisses the hero in slo-mo, showers in slo-mo, even has an emotional reunion with her grandmom in slo-mo. That it’s cool to do things in slow motion.That even if you are in picturesque Prague for the shoot, you will relocate briefly to the picturesquer Mykonos and Santorini for filming one romantic song.That any fair, light-eyed Indian extra can be passed off for an angrez in a Hindi film.That it’s perfectly normal for Indian grandmoms to gape at their grown-up grand-daughters in the buff, in the shower.That it snows as heavily in Dehradun as it would in Ladakh.That the theft of the Kohinoor can stall an extradition treaty between UK and India.Its holding cells are the easiest for a terrorist to escape from, what with the guards falling like nine pins in the face of an attack. It serves pizzas for a meal to the dreaded prisoners in its custody. That UK’s MI6 lacks even basic intelligence.
Here’s what all I learnt this Friday first day, first show: However, besides offering a cocktail of neck-wringing chases, countless car crashes, flyboard stunts and elaborately mounted song ’n-dance numbers, Bang Bang also offered me wisdom of a sublime kind. Bang Bang, which is all about the theft of the Kohinoor diamond and nabbing of a dreaded terrorist, made me feel like banging my head against the wall. What’s more bizarre is that you are able to fashion an even worse Hindi film out of it. Something is obviously strange in opting to buy the remake rights of a mediocre Hollywood film called Knight and Day.
