Indian Cinema

A BOOM! A BANG! - That’s the entry of the hero;
Emphasis will be great, even if he is a zero!
His friends are many, it's him they worship;
And be by his side during his times of hardship.
They move about in a gang, doing nothing;
And suddenly form groups and start to sing!
They wriggle, twist and turn - calling it dance;
Exhibit it on the roads - nobody calls it a nuisance!

Hero meets the heroine, mostly in a collision;
It's his love at first sight as little hearts bar his vision!
He would love her passionately for no known reason;
And she ignores the poor guy all through the season.
She encounters a few mishaps and he is her (obvious) savior;
She falls in love, rushes into his arms and apologizes for her former behavior.
They erupt into a duet song and a dozen dancers follow;
Movements & words would be obscene, more than what we can swallow.

After that there is very little for the heroine to do;
It's about the hero, there's much ado.
Whether rich or poor, he'll wear great attire;
And have an unblemished character - as good as sapphire!
Stumbling & falling, hitting & shouting come under "comedy";
As a general rule, the comedian is hero's buddy.
Of course there's a villain - it could be the heroine's dad;
Or a much wanted anti social who is raving mad!

As a one man army, the hero is all set,
To give the villains, what they deserved to get.
Cars fly, bombs explode & machine guns roar;
Miraculously, the hero's still alive & what's more?
The villain is nabbed by the police who arrive late;
Hero & heroine are united - thanks to their fate.
They live happily ever after - And,
What are you waiting for? - That's the End!

  1. Hahaha! I think you covered the story of every Bollywood flcik possible, esp from the 90s!

    My fave line -
    'She encounters a few mishaps and he is her (obvious) savior;
    She falls in love, rushes into his arms and apologizes for her former behavior'

    Still laughing! :)
