I interrupt regular programming to bring to you an ode. It’s an inspired ode. It’s a song, which describes the condition of our fallen films. I currently have no reviews to pen unless I make a trek into memory-land, since can’t go and see the new releases for fear of losing my mind. And it’s not like I haven’t suffered enough for this year – I did see Partner AND Apne, both within 30 days of each other, which somewhat increased the trauma.
After the disastrous reviews of “Laaga chunari mein daag” which I was eagerly anticipating, I seem to be losing my in-born, child-like trust in humanity. My list of Worst films of 2007 is getting very long – how will I pare it down ? I despair of having 10 films to make the list of Best films of 2007. One breaks into a cold sweat.
Anyway, here’s the ode.
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him to a desi film
When he’s down
But I’m ready, yes I’m ready for you
I’m standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the movies rip
Repeating the sound of the beat
