Size Zero craze, bikinis, six pack abs, flexible dancing skills,Fast bikes chasing one another, cars being blown up for fight sequences (even songs) , actors doing theie own stunts, getting tattoo’s… Bollywood sure has come a long way from the days of what one would call – Simple Cinema.Gone are the days when we hummed the tunes of movies like Chupke Chupke, Choti Si Baat, Khatta Meetha, or what Kishore Da or Rafi saab popularized during those days, copied hairstyles of actors/actresses, paying 2 rupee for a ticket for a balsony seat,…etc.
I Still remember Vidya Sinha’s Girl Next Door looks from Rajni Gandha and Choti si baat and Jaya Bachchan’s perkiness from films like Guddi and Mili, Rekha’s beauty Sharmila Tagore’s dimples, Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra’s all round skills in comedy,drama,action and romance, Sanjeev Kapoor mesmerizing acting skills, comic skills of Mehmood Saab, Rajndenaath,Johnny Walker, directorial classics by Raj Kapoor, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Manmohan Desai, etc.
The 80’s and 90’s were still bearable with Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi, Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Shah Rukh Khan,Salman Khan providing good entertainment to the masses but today seeing actors above 40 years of age romancing girls the age of their daughter or running to the gym for a dreamy body with six pack abs is sheer stupidity.
Comparing it with todays Filmy World of Kareena Kapoor’s size zero fetish, Lara Dutta’s Bikini, Hrithik Roshan’s six pack, Aamir Khan’s changing hairstyles in Dil Chata Hai or Ghajini, Rajpal Yadav’s cheap comedy and undigestable directorial skills of some of todays directors makes me SICK TO THE STOMACH!
