Dabangg.
An oft repeated story of the quintessential Bollywood hero.......larger than life, bulging biceps, ............not to mention the scattering of enough "villains" to fill a few police stations!!...........
Jaded storyline - Yes!!
Mindless plot - Yes!!
Lack of intrigue/ suspense/thriller.......you name it - Yes!!!
But, surprisingly, this was a movie that just hit it off with the masses!!!
The 100 crore club begins........... mass hysteria........... awards ......WOW!!
Strangely enough, I somehow liked the movie..... repetition, overacting, .....everything....
The charm about the movie was that it again drove home the point...........(okay, its the same point that has been made in millions of books and billions of movies already)........... that.... "Good always wins over evil"
The mind.......however rational it may be......... wants to believe!!........... wants to believe that no matter what Good will win!!
But with recent events coming to light..... first Nirbhaya, then an innocent toddler......the very mention of the two, and I get goosebumps!!!
Add to it the incessant repetitions both in print media as well as on the idiot box..............its hardly surprising that it could lead to a loss of appetite!!
So where are they?........... where are the "Real" "Dabanggs"??
Where were they when all this happened?
Where are they when it may be happening elsewhere as I write this?
Where will they be if something like this were to happen again?
My question to the world at large.............
"Can the REAL "Dabangg" stand up please?"
