Last month Arka, our long time coffeehouse friend left for the states. Today we received a letter from him. Arka still likes to write letters. He used to say writting letter is an art . He used to feel that email applications are gradually making it an extinct species on earth.
Coming back to the letter, Arka wrote a letter about a recent hindi film that he watched in a theater in New York. Here is how he wrote the letter.
Dear Friends,
Wish you a merry christmas. I hope you guys are still having a good time at the coffeehouse. I had nothing else to do in the evening today. So, I thought to write about the film that I saw in the afternoon today. The name of the film is "Bhagam Bhag". It is the latest Indian film showing in the theaters here. I went to watch the film right after lunch. I was little early at the theater. The usual commercials were showing on the big screen which made me feel sleepy. I woke up suddenly with the Dolby Digital sound. As you are familiar, I am not a very big fan of hindi movies, I thought I probably would be sleeping through the movie. Well, it turned out to be the other way round. After a few minutes of watching I found it quite interesting and it drove my sleep away.
It is a commedy flick by Priyadarshan where Paresh Rawal leads a Drama company. The drama company flies to London for a performance scheduled there by Asrani. However, the drama company lost their heroine when she left after being irritated by the erotic approaches of Akshay Kumar and Govinda. The performance is now in a jeopardy without the heroine. So Paresh Rawal announces whoever can find a heroine will act as the hero in the drama. Then starts the "Heroine Search" competition between Akshay and Govinda. In pursuit of a heroine, Akshay meets Munni(Lara Dutta) who was suffering from Amnesia and had suicidal tendency. Akshay talked her into acting in their drama as a heroine. It later turns out that Lara is part of a bigger conspiracy that leads to a murder. Akshay, Govinda and Paresh Rawal become the prime suspects of the murder. They managed to escape from police custody. They were determined to get to the root of the conspiracy to prove themselves innocent. Finally they come out triumphant.
The movie did not have a great story but it was hilarious. Rajpal Yadav, Akshay, Govinda and Paresh did great in the movie. The movie is in the same lines as "Hera Pheri" and when watching some scenes you might actually think that you are watching Hera Pheri.
To conclude it is a movie worth watching. If you have not seen it yet go see it soon.
I must signoff now. Write to me about your recent discussions at the coffeehouse(about the ones you have not published yet).
Arka.

Jaaneman
Navneet "Last night I watched the movie Jaaneman"
Prasun "How do you like it. Is it worth watching ?"
Navneet "Man, I was almost feeling sleepy in the first part. The movie was not in any angle well-directed. I do not know what was in Shsishir Kunder's mind when he directed it.The story however was good and with that story even I could have made a hit:). Even the songs were pathetic"
Prasun " What is the story?"
Navneet "Well the story starts with Agastya Rao(Akshay Kumar) narrating the story of his friend Suhan(Salman Khan) to his fellow astranaut(a blonde female whose identity is revealed at the end of the movie) in a space capsule orbiting round the earth. I initially thought it might be a science fiction type of movie where there will be a rendevous with the life forms from other space. But later it turned out to be a love story. From the space it directly goes to a flashback on earth where Suhan wakes up to a bad news. His divorced wife Piya(Preity Zinta)sent a notice to pay her a final sum of Rs 50 Lakh in lieu of the alimony which Suhan could not pay for the last one year due to his poor financial condition. Suhan then consulted his Chacha(a dwarfed Anupam Kher) and both of them started thinking of a solution when like a Farishta(angel) Agastya walks in. In his college days Agastya was very attracted to Piya and was in love with her. He could never express that love because Piya was in love with Suhan and Agastya, used to be called Champu in college was not very impressive for her.He was a simpleton but was sharp in studies. But now he has changed, he is an astronaut now and his physical apprearance also changed a lot. He looks pretty smart. Suhan and his dwarf uncle hatched a plan to help Agastya get his lost love back ,in that way Piya will get remarried to Agastya and Suhan will not have to pay the alimony per the laws of Indian Marriage act.
With this plan in mind Suhan and Agastya flies to new york where Piya moved to be near her parents after the divorce. Agastya started making efforts to impress Piya using Suhan's words and style. Suhan helped him in every step and in the process he came to know that he is a father of a daughter. This finding changed Suhan's mind and now he wants to start a new life with Piya and their daughter. But things have gone far enough and Piya got engaged to Agastya. All this time Agastya was not aware that Suhan was Piya's divorced husband.
Then follows a sentimental, emotional series of events, a story of love and sacrifice.
The second half was relatively better than the first half.
Prasun "So do you suggest watching the movie"
Navneet "It is probably worth a watch at home. At least you will come to know who the fellow astranaut of Agastya was. That was a surprise revealed at the end of the movie.There are few commedies which were very well acted by Anupam Kher and was enjoyable. You can also see Salman in the guise of a female. He does not look bad as a female."
