Competition to bollywood

Now seriously, the author is a genius. He knows the ingredients for a successful indian story. Underworld, drugs, prostitutes, foreigners and a war. OOps I almost forgot - a hero who knows how to fight, with all girls around and so is KICKASS! Okies so its bollywood revisited.


Now for the story part. Its about this dood who escapes from jail (which idiot says foreign jails are difficult to escape from?!?!?!) and then he lands in the most happening place - mumbai. Okay so this dood is now engrossed into the drug smuggling mafia, he shares his past life where he is fighter, a drug addict etc. He meets teh most powerful people in the underworld and gets to discuss HOW GOOD LIFE IS with them. (is taht what underworld dons do in their spare time?!??!?) Today I am totally forgetfull, how could I miss the most important part? Now hero has to be loved by the society too! So he becomes a part time doctor (yeah!!!). Oh my god! now this guy twists and turns through the bollywood movies of alteast 20 years and in the end he has to go fight a war in afghanistan! (mind bogling).


You get the BOOOOOOOOOOOOORING factor somewhere in between when things look as fi you can predict. THe hero is going to escape through every situation, and he’ll win! You know why its boring? because it is said that a part of it is TRUE. The only part that is true is when he says ’’i must be crazy!’’


Now dear buddies. Dont buy this. Now the time to read this stuph (borrowed ofcourse) is when you dont get tickets for a movie. Otherwise, if your a bollywood freak - ull luv it.
