Chuck De Hey Baby!!!

Forewarning:- By any chance if you haven't watched these movies then stop here itself. There might be some spoiler.
I may differ or in fact will surely differ from others opinion about chuk de and hey baby. ;)
So here is my version of review for chuk de.. Sole aim of the movie was to bring back the scooter back to his house. Alas!!! days of scooters are now over else we could have seen some good ad there, or may be not, because his scooter seemed to have either maintenance problem or may be mileage problem. How? Dint you see, Kabir bhai was rolling the scooter instead of driving it most of the time. And to showcase how a small mistake can make you pay a humongous cost(Thanks to Media). Jokes apart this movie was so so(watchable).But if you are seriously looking for something real good then this movie is avoidable(but taking into account movie standard these days you can watch it if you are a movie buff ). Few points I noted after watching the movie(or guess directors know the secret):
  • Movies with some religious issues(add India-Pakistan match too) and movie will break box office records.[Question: Can't you feel that there is a need of change over this caste and religion related thing]
  • Movies with sport theme generally gets better opening if a weak team emerges as a winner(and obviously that team is Indian Team.. No offense meant). Indirectly we are accepting that we are weak and some miracle will make us win. [Question: If weak emerging as strong finally is so much sought after, then why do we try to keep weak away from the main line.]
  • Movies were everything depends on last 3 minute performance or which make ur adrenaline flow faster generally emerges as a winner on box office(be it a lagaan or chuk de). [Question: Why Mr Kabir didn't gave direction for 1st two shots on goal which resulted in close call with Australian team ;)]
  • And yeah evergreen formula - show the hero as Bechara(chucked out from main stream) and help him regain his old stature through the movie. And you will get a super hit.[Question: Why movies are so distant from cruel reality?]

These formulae comes one or other way in most of the hit movie(w.r.t. sport based).Whatever may be the case at last our kabir bhai(the great coach) was able to bring back the scooter to his old house. [:D]

Anyway, hope India winning the Asia Cup, teams superb performance throughout the series and soft corner for Hockey developed after the movie will make hockey to reach those heights or say surpass those heights which where a cake walk during 1940's(Dhanchand and Team).

Hey Baby or Baba!!! Why on earth do you make such wonderful movie. Put us in situation of saap and chuchunder(snake and mouse ka bhai.. don't remember the actual phrase). I mean they make life of movie watcher difficult.I found it difficult whether to laugh or weep or commit suicide at such wonderful emotional scene(yeah even though I watched the movie. So I am entitled for an award). I don't have words to explain the beauty of this movie. But just have two words to say. "AVOID IT". Be the emotional touch given by star's or director everything was just intolerable. Director/hero/heroine everyone seemed confused about there stand in movie. Things move at fast pace but are never able to hold the attention. Overall a big failure for each and everyone.This is perfectly my opinion and its a consequence of literally wasting my precious 2.5 hours. And I don't expect other to go by it as opinion differs with people.

Few lessons!!!

  • Grass always looks greener the other side.
  • People need to realize that a career is a marathon run and not a sprint, one won't go far by jumping jobs.
Unfortunately we as people are never satisfied with what we have. [:]
