Story : Ok, so here’s a political potty-boiler, classified as an “intelligent” moowhee by some moowhee critics, and since the average IQ of my readers is approx 27, I shall not involve you with the convoluted plot, mainly because I myself didn’t understand what was really going on.
Here is what I think happened… beta Runtbeer returns from foreign to his native city and is immediately accosted by love-lorn Katatonik, but poor beta loves Sharin, his gf from foreign, and Katatonik doesn’t like sharin’, but poor beta is now an unwitting character in political pottyboiler, what with continuous blood-shed and mayhem going on all over the place, so he convinces Katatonik to get married to his bro (played by Arjun Drownpool) who is keen to become cheap minister of the state in which he is native. Say, what??!!
Anyway, Katatonik spends nights in her bedroom whereas her hubby (played by Arjun Drownpool) who is the bro of Runtbeer, whom Katatonik doesn’t love cos she loves Runtbeer, not the bro, er… where was I… hanh… she sleeps in her bedroom while her hubby sleeps on the sofa cos hubby knows that Katatonik doesn’t love him (Drownpool) but she loves Runtbeer who is the bro of Drownpool. I told yu this was going to get convoluted!
So, while people were getting killed, cars were blowing up, the plot was thickening, and I was looking out for some “intelligent” dialogue, I came across a real gem… here’s Manhuge Bargeparty, in all his glory, hands akimbo (in fact nearly throughout the moowhee his hands were akimbo), making a speech in one of the numerous election rallies sprinkled helter skelter, here’s Manhuge, saying, and this one’s a real gem, “Jo log aasman mein thookte hain, jaante nahin ki wahi thook palat ke unke sar pe tapakti hai!” Loosely translated (and a lot will be lost in the translation) I think what he said was, “Those dudes, that spit in the sky, don’t seem to realize, that the same spit, the very same spit, turns around and goes spat on their own heads!” In other words, those dudes who spit etc., just don’t seem to understand the gravity of the situation… there’s a lesson in physics in here somewhere!
So while all potty candidates get rejected by the election commission from standing for elections for whatever reasons (e.g. Drownpool loses his election ticket because a week before the elections, rigor mortis had already set in) poor Katatonik finds that she is the only candidate left… and of course a recently run gallup poll shows that 58% will vote for her cos of her pouting lips, 28% will vote for her Canadian accent in her hindi speeches, 2% will vote for her acting talent, and the rest will not have seen the moowhee.
Of course, this spoofy review wouldn’t be complete without a mention of the stars amongst the caste that shone… firstly, Runtbeer was outstanding as the young Michael Corleone in the Godfather… er… sorry, wrong moowhee… both he and Drownpool get full marks for looking prettier than Katatonik… Manhuge had his hands akimbo throughout the moowhee except when he let his hands fall on his sides, and that makes for great acting… Gravedmb was in his element as the backward-class kabaddi champ, his most intelligent dialogue being, “kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi….”, Pottykar was excellent as Runtbeer’s Maama, with his all-knowing, benevolent and sinister smile, but for the life of me I can’t recollect any intelligent dialogue there… hopefully the dialogue-writer is also in advanced rigor…
All-in-all, Rajnutty is a well made moowhee and all yu serious cineastes out there should take time off and watch this one.
Rating : OK, I give it a 6 on 10, but dudes, please don’t spit in the sky!
