Kane and ABel

Being a die hard fan of movies , of late I realised what a fool we as a audience are made and why our directors cannot think of anything new. It is like the age old saying "old wine in a new bottle"

The director we are discussing today is Mr. Rakesh Roshan.

Where do I begin , well lets start with the blog title "kane and Abel " , This is a very famous novel from Jeffery Archer ..and it was made into the movie "Khudgarz" starring our famous Jitendra and Shatrughan sinha. Quite a good movie for those days but mixed with our usual bollywood flair of songs , emotions and drama.

This is not the point , look at how intelligently Rakesh Roshan uses the same plot over and over again..Lets get dissecting one by one

1. Khudgarz

Shatrughan sinha is ruined and somehow comes back being a rich man , in order to take revenge on Jeetendra. So observe the comeback routine and just maintain your thought on this one.

2. Khoon Bhari Maang

one of my al ltime favorites , same case again . Rekha falls prey to a crocodile , Her life turns topsy turvy , but she comes back as a Model with a new look and gets her revenge. So here we go again .. comeback/revenge saga.

3. Koyla

Shahrukh plays a guy with no voice , gets beaten up black and blue ...and lo !! behold gets his courage and voice back to take revenge on Amrish puri.

4. Karan Arjun

The same -same , Karan and Arjun are reborn and take revenge of thier mom on Amrish puri. Poor Amrish puri ...may not have realised he is been taken for a ride. !!! on a different note ..hope the catch word .. comeback / revenge is still fresh in your brains.

5. Kaho na pyaar hai

First Hrithik gets killed for watching a crime scene , and a newer smarter Hrithik comes over and take revenge .. Interesting watch but the story is the same but in a new form.


6. Koi Mil Gaya

Hrithik is a retard , who gets help from Aliens and finally there is a transformation into a action hero (sort of ) and finally is able to save Alien from Man - slaughter.

7. Krissh

This is a super duper comeback , a character from the previous movie comes alive in this movie .. it is like a joke i once heard ...

lallu: hey , which book are u reading
bantu: hey , it is a suspense novel ..just awesome
lallu: is it !!! why so
bantu: because the murderer is hiding in a different novel.

so papa krissh comes back , and beta krissh takes revenge on the bad guys.

well your honour , I rest my case ..not that i have anything against Hrithik or Rakesh roshan .. at each stage of my life I have enjoyed all the above movies as a spectator ..but my only thought is should i congratulate him for thinking and making such a beautiful camouflage , or is there a hidden message or a fine detail which we as a audience fail to perceive.

Then why are we always called as an Intelligent audience !!!!

bye
