Joint Member of the Week - RTH and Taco - Page 19

Sorry Shashi, I have to postpone your questions to tomorrow. I spent a good amount of time typing everything up and it is all gone. I'm exhausted tonight now and will have to resume doing this again tomorrow.

Congratulations to both of you! :D Thanks Shounak Raja, but are you trying to maim us or what? 😆 I'm dividing your task into two parts to cut down on the length!

Here's Part 1-

1)You get a chance to act in a Bollywood film as the main lead.Pick out members whom you would like to be the film's male lead,supporting actors,antagonist,item girl,comic relief,director,scriptwriter and dialogue writer.Suggest a name to the film.

Film title: Baraf Ki Chuski

Male lead: This is a coming of age film about a married mom having an extramarital affair with a younger chick, so no male leads. Acting opposite me is none other than blue-ice. No thanks to our director. See below 😆

Supporting actors: Blue-ice's forum kids Munna and Sheee, Priya (she'll fight for our rights in court), Eraser (activist championing our cause), Dr3vil (our accomplice to deal with the antagonist), Mandy (the no-nonsense judge who will eventually rule in our favour), and the Ash hate mail sender to torture our haters with what else, but hate mails.

Antagonist: Blue-ice's husband 😆

Item girl: Sanasoufi

Comedians: Kal-El and you

Director: Jess 😆

Scriptwriter: EroticGauravMad 😆

Dialogue writer: Xeta 😆

2)Mumbai Nagariya is the lifeline of India.List 10 things without which Mumbai is incomplete.

-Public transport. I believe the public transport here is the best in the country even though our infrastructure sucks. Can't imagine Mumbai without local trains, BEST buses, and of course- our one of a kind cabbies and rickshawallas 😆

-Monsoons You'll either hate or love the Mumbai monsoons. It's mostly a filthy deluge here, but you'll forget it all once you experience the rains at Marine Lines, Bandra, or any beach.

-Bambaiyya Hindi. Anyone who doubts this and does mach mach will get a nice kharcha paani from me 😆

-Adversity and a fast-paced life. Cliched, but true. If there's anything this city teaches you, it's time management 😆 If you can survive here, you can pretty much survive anywhere else.

-Cosmopolitan society. MNS and Shit Sena be damned. This city is a melting pot of communities from across the country, and that's what makes it Bombay, not Mumbai.

-Dharavi. Slums are very much a part of the city. They're disgusting, a terrible sight, and cesspools of crime, but also have some of the most enterprising and hardworking people you'll ever come across.

-Street food. Let the Delhiites say what they want. We also have Irani cafes. They don't 😆

-Dalal Street and Zaveri Bazaar. What would Mumbai be without stockbrokers and diamond merchants? 😆

-BMC. Your daily dose of babudom. Free potholes, clogged drains, and infested rivers served on the side.

-Bollywood. I don't think this needs any explanation. Then again, you never asked for any 😆

You people need to stop asking me stuff on Mumbai lest I put the entire forum to sleep 😆

3)Like RTH asked me the last time, please complete the 30 day movie challenge in this topic at one go. Why are you people trying to leech off Theatre's thread? 😆 It's one of the few decent ones left in BS, but anyway:

Part 2 of Shounak's task:

Originally posted by: .SB.

4)10 things you want to change about Bollywood movies. Want to do away with: Nepotism, useless and fixed award ceremonies, South Indian remakes, the mentality that film making is a business rather than an art, and SRK 😆 Want to see: Music ownership rights, original scripts, actresses getting paid as much as actors, good horror and sci-fi, a more liberal/progressive Censor Board.

5)You have to create an ad campaign for a khujli powder.What will you name the product and what will be the tagline?Just write down in brief how the advertisement of the powder will be on TV. Just outlining a spoof here and using existing copy to get this done, there's just not enough time re 😆

Product name: HitchGuard

Tagline: "HitchGuard. Kunwaron ke liye allrounder."

Idea: HitchGuard is the best remedy for all those who suffer from shaadi ki khujli.

TVC Concept: Coy bride hands over a glass of milk to her hubby on their wedding night. However, the groom is unable to reach out for the glass because he's suffering from severe bouts of itching in the pelvic region, you see. After several minutes of struggling, he finally manages to grab the glass, but the itching surfaces again, and the milk falls all over his crotch.

Voiceover: "Mard samajhte hai woh duniya ka har kaam kar sakte hain. Lekin shaadi ki paseene ke pareshaani dur karne, in allrounders ke bas mein nahi. Isiliye HitchGuard powder. Joh shaadi ke paseene se hone waali ghamoriyon se raahat de. Aur roke doosre shaadi ke infections bhi.

Taaki allrounders kabhi ruke nahi.

HitchGuard powder. Kunwaron ke liye allrounder."

6)If you had to cast the members here in the film 3 Idiots,whom would you choose for the main characters of Rancho,Raju,Farhan,Virus,Pia,Chatur?
Rancho: Kal-El
Raju: UnsolvedMystery
Farhan: You, because you like photography
Virus: Souro
Pia: Mogli
Chatur: TheExorcist

7)Koi bhi desh perfect nahin hota, use perfect banaya jaata hai.Agree/Disagree?(with reasons)Disagree, only because I believe 'perfection' is a subjective and Utopian concept that is impossible to implement in the world we live in. That said, every nation offers something others don't. The closest we can come to perfection as a whole, IMO, is observing order amidst the chaos that is governance and politics. For that to happen, evolution of the public mindset is a must. And we all know how long evolution takes. Several people in history have challenged the system and sparked a revolution in thought. What India needs right now is an individual like that. And no, I don't believe Anna Hazare is that man.

8)Your version of India-Forums would be like...? The Something Awful forums, minus the paid membership. Plenty of room for profanity and badassery, but no tolerance for hate speech, trolling, and other worthless tripe.

9)Propose Baburao Apte in exactly five sentences.

"Sundar divsachi sundar survat

Najuk unhachi premal saad

Manzul varyachi haluwar halchal

Roz tumchya aayushyat yeo sundar sakal.

Machhli ko mast tel mein fry karke laayi hoon. Mere saath khaaoge?" ;)

^ No I don't speak fluent Marathi. This one's thanks to an SMS on my bai's phone 😆

10)Your take on the future of Bollywood-proceeding towards the best or the worst? As things stand today, I think it's proceeding towards the worst even though we have several capable directors in our midst. There are too many fiefdoms, and too many businesspeople in Bollywood who use 'entertainment' as an excuse to make money by ramming rubbish down our throats. Films are obviously there to entertain, but escapism shouldn't come at the cost of originality and artistic brilliance. Then again, I do have my ivory tower moments 😆

RTH...tch tch...I merely said you could skip Day 2's question if you wanted to...cough...chicken...cough! 😆

🤣 🤣

Yes yes yes! Please come over to this dark side too Shashi. Sallu's old news now.
