A method in our madness!

I saw the stupidest movie today! Can’t say I expected it to be an Oscar winning movie or anything…I mean, what do you expect from David Dhavan and Govinda?! But for some reason, I just had to watch it!

The movie’s storyline is SO brainless!
Sanjay wants a divorce from Anjalee. But the court wont give either of them a divorce until one has proof that the other is cheating. (?! Don’t ask!) Now, Anjalee decides to tell her husband that she is going on a trip to Europe. But instead of going there herself, she send her friend, so she can catch Sanjay red handed while he thinks she is away. By some strange coincidence, this friend has the SAME name, and the SAME surname!!! THIS Anjalee Sharma being Rani Mukherjee. On the other hand, Sanjay thinks that his wife is cheating on him with someone in Europe, so sends HIS friend, Raj (Govinda) on the same trip! Now during this “trip” Govinda spies on a girl, thinking she is Sanjay’s wife, and meanwhile, falls in love with Rani-Anjalee! Now, WHY Govinda never bothers to ask the name of the woman he is falling in love with…is BEYOND me!!! But yea…
ANYWAY…the woman Raj is mistakenly spying on turns out to be a drug smuggler! And all the Indians in the trip get arrested because this girl presents them drugs before making a get away (Except Raj, because he is conveniently not there at the time!). So he finds out Rani’s real name only when it is read out from her passport! Now he is upset because he is in love with a married woman, and she is upset because she is love with a man who is annoyed with her for no reason…
But in the end they both get married and live happily ever after!
Yikes…

It must seem incomprehensible HOW I managed to sit through this movie…twice. But I’m not the only one! Most people who are into Hindi movies have seen this movie – hated it, but seen it – or movies like it. So, apparently brainlessness sells! Look at Main Hoon Na. As much of a Shahrukh fan that I am, the story of this movie was ridiculous!! But it was a HUGE success! Such a feel-good movie! Maybe it is this kind of storyline – stupid and hilarious – that the public enjoyed. Maybe it was the appearance of a superstar on screen. Whatever it was, it sold!
Personally, I would never admit to having enjoyed “Had Kardi Aap Ne”, but there are some moods that only a mad-brainless-Govinda-comedy can pull you out off! Let’s face it! Bollywood wouldn’t be Bollywood without its brainlessness!
