‘N G’ pe kuch ‘Aur Jee’ (pun definitely intended)


Kuch toh log lenge, logon ka kaam hai lena, Non-medical ho ya ho commerce, maths toh sab mei hai na. Waise medical mei bhi kuch toh calculations hote hi honge.

So it all started with the simple knowledge of 2 plus 2 equals to 4. That was all that was needed for the creamy layer of the modern day bollywood fanatics to be created. Its funny as to how parents in earlier days would stop you from watching TV or even catch you watching some of ‘those’ websites (in the early 2000s) but what do you suspect when you find your son writing about gross, nett gross, inflation, inflation adjusted, growth, foot count , head count and TRPs. –”Lagta hai bete ka koi exam hai..padh le raje, tujhe thoda orange juice laa ke dun kya?”

So here we are in a country of 1.4 billion where the rich go on world tours and the poor still elects anyone with a surname of Gandhi and the middle class which works 9 to 5 while most of their kids either study under peer pressure and the rest try to find ways to pass their time.

Passing time is a amusing phenomenon- for some it is sitting at the nukkad and do chichorapanti, for some it is increasing their masturbation counts while for some it is the sheikh chilli cooking khayali pulav approach.

Movies as we know are the most famous timepass for Indians, and what better timepass object to be derived from the world of movies, than to idolize someone and then make your pulav over his/her khayaals. Interesting enough, most of the sheikh chillis of our country are men who get wet(probably with khushi and dukh ke aansu) dreams about their khan, bachchan or Kumar and then call each other Gay (Thats just soooo Gay!!)

So Dharam became Paaji and mausi ne maari bhaanji aur sholay ki ho gayi wah ji…As a kid I use to hear stories about how my parents and grandparents enjoyed the movie experience of Sholay..How My cousins, friends and all major movie buffs of my age use to cherish every viewing of the movie. But now its a different world.. Ab toh sawaal ye hai ki Sholay aakhir kiski movie hai ? Woh din ab duur nahi jab log bolenge Sholay Salman aur Farhan ki movie hai..baap ki jaagir bete hi sambhalenge na…

So lets come back to our Indian post teen kids, middle aged men and aged middle men….It doesn’t matter if they passed their 12th with compartment in mathematics, it doesn’t matter that their calculations at a grocery store suck.. It doesn’t matter if they don’t know how to spell inflation, it doesn’t matter if they never knew what a 10% inflation actually meant…Hell it doesn’t matter the producer of the film came to them and showed them their bank accounts…all they know is ” Ye bhai, baadhshah, khiladi or Ace ki movie hai” and hum box office ke baadshah, zabaan ke dabanngg , swabhaav mei rowdy aur asal mein 3(or 3000) idiots hain.

Gone are those days when we use to get film tickets standing queues, ab toh online ka zamaana hai.. But little did BOOKMYSHOW.COM know that its existence will be used for much more than booking tickets. So people not only book their tickets but also check whether others have book tickets or not and if yes then how many ? (Generation next nahi generation pest)

Some people have dedicated their entire lives to find out new articles written by other such devpurush about their stars. Twitter’s invention has been a bigger one than the Wheel’s because you can tweet the collections of Nagpur faster than 5000 RPM.

Add to the swamibhakt loyalists of few immortal bollywood souls we have a soft man who always bathes and a godchild who owns all the galaxies and gives all stars to every movie.

Our respected gayboys who are fans …oops I mean fan boys who call each other gays..keep on quoting these swamibhakt loyalist from time to time…

Jis tarah har asafal democracy ko ek congress ki zaroorat hoti hai, usi tarah har fanboy ko ek sabse bade velle ki zaroorat hoti hai…and hence we have the strong powerful, Mr know it all Leaders..

It is the ultimate dedication, love , hardwork (read: sweat, sweat and more sweat) that we get almost the most lovable , interesting and the most original readable content of satisfaction (ah ah), relief (ahhh) and friction (~~~~) aka ORGY every day on NG.

    no suprabh the theory is not this.

    the theory is

    in 1949 barsat grossed 2 cr at the ticekt rate of .50 paise so 4 cr ppl endorsed it. the population of india was 45 cr at that time. but the population patronizing was say 25 cr (ppl with acces sto cinemas) that means roughly 16% of the ppc endosed barsaat.

    make the same calculations for sholay and ett and u can compare the 3 films.

    it in no way means that the films will collect or sell same number of tickets today.

    science ke paas har sawaal ka jawaab hai.

    par tumko truism nahin maangta
    tumko science nahin maangta,
    tumko calculations based on logic nahin maangta,

    to kya maangta

    opinions, opinions, suprabh ka dil tum pe aaa opinions (and u knwo wat are opinions like. )

    (note – only sathiyaya hua middle age ppl will be able to identify the reference song)

    Danish,

    Julie aur johnny ke song ko identify karne ke liye umar ki nahi bas filmein dekhne ka chaska hona chahiye…

    now ,

    You can’t make those same calculation because a lot of reasons:

    1) Number of films released in that year compared to this year
    2) number of affordable mode of entertainment people can chose from
    3) Change is tastes of what people would want to see
    4) perception– something that you discount so easily

    Believe it or not, but you just cant compare ..its all your opinion (the same opinions which are like Axxholes and you also have one)

    @suprabh – at leats i dont put mine for public display.

    all the factors that u mention dilute the calculations but dont nullify them altogether. so may be in the case of films thatcut very close there may be doubts but….

    can u say an hahk that had 12 cr pl visting (will argue abtthe calculations later) wen ppc was roughly 60 cr ( 100 cr population, 80% access, 25% lost to home viewings) and a 3 idiots that had 3 cr footfall wen ppc was 40 cr (120 cr population, 85% cinema cess, 60% lost to home viewing) had the popularity of the same level.

    no. hahk reached to 20% of its remaining universe. mothers, fathers, grandpas, grandams, kids, urban rural, small town, rich, poor all watched it for it to reach 20% of population

    3 idiots reached less than 10% of its ‘remaining universe’ watched mostly by urban ppl between 14-45 age group.

    the cultural and socio economic reasons are obvious but dont nullify the more than twice ‘endosrement level’ of hahk.

    Danish,

    tum phir bhool gaye,,When have I ever undermined success of HAHK.. (hell I didnt even support claims that it was a madhuri movie than a salman movie during “THAT” debate)…HAHK is one of the greatest success out there,, and so is 3 Idiots ..all I am saying is you cannot compare the two..

    Aaj ki generation mei jab itne saare bachche playstation xbox aur wii ke saamne se hatna pasand nahi karte toh woh apne maa baap ko kya bolenge movie dikhane ke liye….analyze that w.r.t. 1994. and 20 somethings which are IT workers attending night shifts n all..kitne eager honge 300 spend karne ke liye..

    @suprabh

    1. then wat sops u from saying that since salman has been giving the biggest hit of the 2 of the last 3 decades and the 3rd biggest hit (dabangg fallls in 2001-2010 decade) and the biggest hits of this decade (god that makes it four decades) he has been the best actor, as selected by people.

    2. i have told u the whole method how they can be compared.

    3. video games have been in india since 1982. the penetration may have been less. children still fight with parents to take them to movies and parents ask them to study. i have a 9 years old niece and 7 years old nephew and i still stayb in idnia so i know abt these factors. its not me who has shifted to US and is out of touch with real india.

    @danish,

    1, I can easily say,. Salman gave the biggest hit of 2 of the last 3 decade… (and I agree too) ..yahi bulwana tha toh pehle bol dete…..Although I know you want me to say something else..too.
    2. No one but only ou agree to your method
    3. Just because I stay in US, doesn’t mean all my neice, nephews or all the kids I knew have also shifted to US… I do hear stories about how they behave..and how much do they ask their parents to go to movies and how much they prefer the xbox and wii.

    No one can make another person saying anything he does not want to. That makes him a dictator.

    About xbox and wii, agree with Suprabh and would add the ipad/tabs. The things are addictive. My nephews are addicted to them. Heck, I am addicted to my XBox. And I am 29 years old and a father of a 3 month daughter.

    ye to beimaani hai.

    2. most ppl agree with me.

    3. u hear stories, i see them 1st hand.

    @dhanu – aur naam ladkiyon waala. wo bhi rajeev gandhi ki killer.

    Danish,

    Pyaar main toh Sabki Haar hoti hi hain(Kabhi kabhi)…
    Par Mujhe SRK ki 90′s Romantic Movies aur Bhaijaan ki Tere Naam/Lucky se Inspiration Milta hain!

    :D

    Agar aapki b kabhi haar hogayi to aap apne ‘Love of ur Life’ k saath Jaan-E-Mann OR Kal Ho Naa Ho dekh lena par Fanaa dekhne ki Galti bilkul mat krna!
