For every single controversial issues in this world or the universe at large, the witty duds viz. Tathagata and Arya never miss out on an opportunity to blandish their unworldly comments.
Not only that, they try their best to reel out an amount of abstraction from all that's in concrete and pure.. Now is concrete pure? Better not to delve into the matters more.
With a movie like "The Bong Connection" by Anjan Dutt, the hil(l)y drunkard director-actor-singer, or the modest version of HR, who has finally shown the world his bits [read: tits!].. it was nearly impossible for the intellectually challenged duo to hold their breath.. especially after they watched the same on the same day.
We call it coincidence. Others, misfortune.
Following are the excerpts from Orkut:
Tathagata: Kalke Bong Connection dekhe elam. Opurbo. Erom bhalo cinema khub shiggiri dekhini. Chomotkar gaan, shonlap, editing ... bola nishproyojon. Tobe Ektai khed, Parambratar work life ta shudhu Windows XPr desktop with and error mesasge dekhiye chere dilo?
Arya: same here..ami o kaal dekhlaam. parambrata r acting ta sera legeche..specially the bengali dilemma you know. khub relatable. tobe tomar khed er ektai uttor.. error message dekhte dekhte ghumiye pora ta ki khub beshi y significant noe???
Tathagata: Are shob kota shot jegulote parambratar officer computer a dekha gecehe, sheta in the same situation. Obviously shob kota shot ekshathei neoya, [jemon hoy] ei jaigatay jotner obhabta chokhe porchilo. Ar arekta khub hotash hoyechi, bidesher outdoor gulo ekdom bhalo lageni ... kal ho na ho marka cinemata bhab ... budgeter moddhe rekhe kora jetona ki? at least jonoshomudrer moddhe signale rasta cross korche ...eta to bhishon expect korchilam!
Arya: from when you started believing in anodynes my friend? the shot you expected could have been very "pultish" sort of..because it was so evident that Param was a fish out of water in the US !! and though I agree with you that the outdoors were not very upright and upbright, don't you think too much flashy shots would be a misfit there?? I liked the way it was shot..it depicted the amount of claustromania and dilemmas those bongs live in!!
Tathagata: Yes, so much in agreement ... but I wanted to see the contrast of the flashy shot and the dilemma-drenched indoors. As of Kal ho na ho, we can accuse it of handling the issue too much commercially, taking the life out of it! This movie perfectly captured the indoors ... just a few flashy outdoor shots would have been the golden touch. But Parambrata's office life shots were taken without love, or in a hurry ... at least they could have changed his outfit to make the abstraction of passage of time more believable. Remember the scenes the tanhaii song in Dil Chahta hai, how aptly it captured the broken heart and a transformed man! I can think of anything other than budget cuts to effect editing decisions ... how unfortunate.
Tathagata: And despite all the confusions that a bong would face in the alien land - there should have been a shot at the time after Parambrata had settled down in US and standing alone in with a happy face looking at the plush landscape ... proud of his feat. Show me an Indian who hasn't done this .... and I'll show you that audacious perverter of truth! This would have made the room for a high and low in Parambrata's life at US, which according to the movie is dull and depressive !
