Tees Maar Khan.


A movie that was hyped with promotions before its release has unfortunately bombed at the box office. Directed by Farah Khan, music by Vishal-Shekhar. Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Akshay Khanna star in the movie. Apparently, Mr. Shirish Kunder who has written the screen play, edited it and is also the thoughtful guy who wrote the story of TMK has failed to amuse the audience.

The usual humor that exists in Farah Khan's movies seemed to be lacking big time. I guess there was just one scene which made me laugh. Where the over-hyped, half Robinhood's (Akshay Kumar/TMK's mother) slaps two police officers assuming them to be bad actors for he son's film.

The character of 'Aadha Robinhood' as TMK is known is because "wo amiro se leta zaroor hain, lekin garibon mein baata nahi"

The story begins with a seminar room where there's a police conference going on. Two siamese brothers ( Raghu-Rajiv) are smugglers and their antique 'maal' is under the police custody. The treasure would be taken to Delhi by a train. Now, what the police is concerned about is that, these brothers will make sure the 'maal' does not reach Delhi. And only our great half Robinhood TMK can rescue it.

TMK is caught by Police officers in Paris. He is taken by a plane back to India to be thrown behind the bars. And Mr. TMK manages to fool the people on the plane by first locking the pilot's cabin and then when the plane is almost about to crash, he unlocks it. I could not figure out, the plane had three pilots and all of them were out of the cabin while TMK was busy locking the cabin. The plane was apparently kept on an 'auto' mode. And the best thing is, the plane did not crash in that span of time.

And then comes our Sheila into the picture. Anya Khan (Katrina Kaif) Her acting skills mesmerise you to re-think why are item girls portrayed so dumb. A beauty without brains. She is obsessed with acting. And is a huge fan of Aatish Kapoor (Akshay Khanna) Astish Kapoor is one flop star who misses the chance of working with Danny Boyle in Slumdog Millionare and now, regrets.

And now, the plot revolves around how TMK gets the smuggled 'maal' back to the Brothers. He decides to make a movie. He asks Akshay Khanna to play the lead role by promising him that he would get an Oscar award if he worked in this film.
Oh, by the way, TMK now becomes a hollywood film director' Day Ramanlal 'who wants to make a movie on India's poverty. Our Sheila is the actress. The script is unkown, the actors are dumb, Dhulwadi by fluke becomes the location of the movie (as the train which has the treasure would be passing by Dhulwadi). Now, our TMK plans to invade the train by telling the villagers and his actors that the train is hired (ya he actually says that) and the villagers are 'krantikaris' who have to stop the train and take out the treasure from the train. He also tells them that the officers are actually foreigners, who might look like Indians (but oh! never mind. Who cares. the whole cast of the movie is dumb anyway).

So, yes that's pretty much the story of Tees Maar Khan. TMK is finally caught by the police. But he gets away at the screening of his movie. And yes, his Dhulwadi movie gets nominated for the Oscars and Aatish Kapoor (Akshay Khanna) wins an Oscar as well.

So, if you are totally jobless, please don't even think of watching this movie. Try getting a DVD and watch Farah Khan's earlier works- Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om.

a journey called 'life'

lost thoughts and criteria's given to certain emotions and possibilities are strange. why do people believe in something that is not certain? are expectations that bad? whether it's done from someone or when someone does it from us?
i think it certainly a issue to be pondered over. man is a social animal and his existence in this society is based on his socialisation. is it not?? then is it wrong to think it this way that man is interdependent too? i guess no. at some point of time in our life we are dependent on someone physically, mentally and emotionally. every individual and every relation is of utmost importance.
but why does it happen so that when we entrust our belief in someone it's bound to be broken at some point of time?
i guess our karmas and crimes are to be pondered over the above mentioned point when we talk of love, emotions, trust, faith and belief. all of us are born to live 'our life' not to live the way people want us to. yes, there are certain norms that must be followed. but we must walk on the red carpet to be the rulers of our life. one thing to be kept in mind is each of us are bound with certain responsibilities and entitles towards our loved ones and the society...a follow up path to fulfill them must be visualised. only then the rest of the things would fall in place.
wondering how this is done? heard of a word called 'DESTINY' well it plays the game. we are the players, the world a stage and god and the devil in us are its players. it's upto us to decide the winner. if god wins, we attain a peaceful and a successful life after a hardwork and difficult circumstances as the obstacles and if the little devil in us wins, then it was an easy life for us..but we were imposing cruelity upon others who were an important part of our life :)
so friends, decide what do you want to chose? humanity or inhumanity?
