'The
wheel has wheel come full circle'
If you have heard the title song of Yashraj Films' latest offering
Neal 'n' Nikki, you must have observed the reaction of the
characters ('naaaaahhhh...') to the tune of Tujhe dekha to yeh
jaana sanam from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, another Yashraj
blockbuster.
This made me think that has wheel come full circle for Yashraj and
for Bollywood as a whole! Promotions of Neal 'n' Nikki are advising
you to be naughty! Great.
In a sequence of DDLJ the heroine (Kajol) starts crying when the hero
(SRK) tells her that she was drunk last night and the two had not
only shared but also...! The film was all about coming to India and
true love and all the golden virtues of Indian tradition.
The last hit from Yashraj's was Salaam Namaste, which dealt
with the protagonists falling in love with each other and indulging
in pre-marital sex and the heroine declining to go for abortion! Now
tell me isn't this a complete departure from DDLJ? The producers may
well say that they only depicted the trend of modern society (with
media falling head over heels to prove that films are the mirror of
society and its trends and how trends originate from movies)
Whatever happened to those big talks of "responsibility towards
society"!
