Saaaaali khushi ….
It’s a depressing day…it really is…..heart ache they say but isn’t it the brain that’s the culprit then why its not brain ache…..who decides this…who cares anyways…am just leaving my building ….was thinking of giving the salman’s statue pose from hum dil de chuke sanam…..liked the movie then not sure if I can stand it today…but what a song……”tadap tadap ke iss dil se aah nikalti rahi”….as if KK had poured in his soul ….even the dumb class act of sallu and plastic ash couldn’t screw it, such is the class of KK……really what a song….I am in the parking now looking for my scooty actually my wife’s scooty….i do have a bike though…I guess its with my friend , no its with my cousin…..it definitely is……I absolutely love driving scooty and it doesn’t make me lesser of a man…..there is no sarcasm in this statement I really do know people who think on those lines …..mard ban mard……wow Murphy uncle comes to play…the scooty is not starting even after repeatedly pressing the button…have to kick start…I am a lazy bastard and hate to kick start…and surprise it doesn’t start even after five kicks…Murphy uncle is my good old friend…..in case you don’t know what Murphy says – whatever that is supposed to go wrong will go wrong. Or something like that….my memory has started to diminish….. Ghajini effect…I absolutely hated it….i almost puked when AK shouts in front of the mirror…but who cares it’s the biggest fucking hit of the year……ah finally the scooty starts…..it feels awesome….driving through 9 pm traffic of Kothrud- Pune…wooo…..gives you the feeling that you are living…..wah…I’am loving it……the roads have been dug up for god knows what…nothing new…..i am singing…singing loudly……
“saanp jaise kaali raaatein hai ,
Hai zeher si ye zindagii iiii iiii iiiiiii
Kahaaaaaaaaaaaan chali gayi hai saali khusi”
Why didn’t Dev die or commit suicide or was hung …why ? I loved depressing endings…I really do…what’s with those happy endings anyways…HOPE….hmmm….loved the movie though…hated the audience…..what kind of moron laughs when a daughter thinks her father got erection after seeing her MMS…for fuck sake its not funny…at least I don’t think its funny…..and what’s really with the movie goers anyways……every time there is a fuck or a madarchod said on screen they laugh…all of them….arey baba context to dekho….seriously what’s with the happy ending….. I am a sucker for depressing endings…my wife thinks I am mad …..am I? I don’t know …. May be I am ….i am a sadist… I am Dev…aren’t we most of us….anyways that’s what I liked about dev.d it showed us the mirror….showed us our big egos…..
Kahaaaaaan chali gaaaayi hai saaaali khushi….
I have absolutely no idea ….no plan…am thinking of watching 99 again…I liked it….Guy Ritchie comes to India…..and finally some cool comedy as the tag line says…Boman Irani is a star ..doesn’t ham this time…he is a good actor but overrated…….he really is…common …he does overacts at times not in 99 though…..Kunal Khemu needs to quit the Bhat camp ASAP…he is good. far better then the current star crops…..he was amazing in zakhm……hands down the best child performance…Darsheel came later but still I think its Kunal Khemu..the best child actor we ever had…..99 it is….all set ….will go to city pride Kothrud…..took the turn….hmm city pride Kothrud..yuck I hate the staff there…who wants the lights to be switched on in the middle of the movie anyways…plan cancel…will go to e square….
Kahaaaaaaaaaan chaaali gayi hai saaali khushi….
Its one of those days when you are not scared of dying…seriously no over exaggeration….i really don’t care if the PMT bus scrambles my brain out….i really don’t care….though I am not speeding or anything I don’t care…..
Maut anth hai nahi …
To maut se bhi kyon dare…
Ye jaake aasamanon mein dahaad do ….
Gulaal….good movie……excellent sound track….i have almost orgasmed on “o ri duniya”….have heard it a zillion times….piyush mishra you beauty…..its depressing to see these guys hidden ………depressing-my favourite word….Revolutionary Roads was depressing……really very depressing especially if u have dreams and you see them crumbling down…..why doesn’t Kate alone go to Paris ???…why depend on Leo ??……seriously …why should one care…..he should live his life as he wants…par aisa kahan hota hai …”Jeeyo aur jeene do ” was thrown onto mars the day the British left India…..every fucking one claims stake in your life…not necessarily financially but somehow….…what’s with that , just live your damn life and let me live mine ….no matter how miserable it may be but its mine…..its common sense….
Maut anth hai nahi …
To maut se bhi kyon dare…
Ye jaake aasamanon mein dahaad do ….
Kaahaaaaaaaan chali gaaaayi hai saali khushi……..
The traffic cops really don’t care if you are speeding or anything…….but I pity them who will work seriously for peanuts…..but the new commission is in and their salaries are going to be doubled….good for them …good for everyone….at least now the parents will think of different careers for their kids apart from engineering…..army, navy, hotel management and what not. All recession proof…..recession another depressing word…….have seen friends being kicked out, based on what? no one knows …company policies it seems…fuck them…..its time when movies like Arjun will comeback….i liked Arjun….one of the very very few sunny paaji movies that I liked…..” Mammaya Kero Kero kero Mama”..loved it….once such movie was Ankush…..mind blowing is the exact word that can describe Nana Patekar’s performance in it….watch that scene in which he runs from the examination hall to the prinicipal’s cabin…shirt torn …complaining about some aamir baap ki aulad copying…genius……and now I think a genius wasted…bollywood could not give him roles justifying his talent..such a pity..its depressing….
Kaahaaaaaaaan chali gaaaayi hai saali khushi……..
Finally reached e square…the best multiplex I have ever been to , ofcource after i-max……but now I am in two minds…to see or not to see…to 99 or not to 99…is 99 that good of a movie…nah…..there is no other good movie playing…there’s me Shivaji raje boltoy…..dont know why it became such a huge hit….i cringed at almost very scene in the movie…terrible…..a good concept wasted….its depressing….plan cancelled…no movie today …..Really don’t have anything better to do …..old memories come flying by….buggers…I am anything but emotional , at least that’s what I think but then these memories……ahhhh….
”baatein bhool jaati hai ,….yaadein yaad aati hai “….
i have seen yaadein in the cinemas…twice…take that….no I didn’t liked it…..hated it….those were the days…engineering days. Used to watch almost everything that came in the cinema halls then …….now its changed, movies that I want to see don’t come up in the cinema halls and the movies that come in the cinema halls don’t interest me to that extent…only few here and there… its depressing …..

P.S: Here’s raising a toast to all those Saali khushi sessions!
quite disappointed with this personal blogging…

U should go to Rahul or Victory… U will get the much required solitude…. lol
OM,

Gaurang,
lol you forgot westend and mangala…..man those single screen days …..
Kadam,
Excellent, bhai…i loved the narration and could feel living each second of the night with U. Loved the way U included the poetry of the song, as if its running in the back ground. Keep it Up.
Hi Anand..
Its a really good blog.. but may not be apt in PFC..
writing something with core essence of cinema.. with a personal touch are always we all look forward in PFC.. but may not other way round..
awesome awesome…
kya baat hain UNCLE
am singing saali khushi too now
bring back those days, bring back those days!
and blogs ARE MEANT TO BE PERSONAL…duh
Excellent post man… loved the way you gave personal touch to it. Actually Dev D has songs for all occasions… kahan chali gayi saali khushi????
Nice meandering post, Anand…. Searching for Khushi astride a scooty on the streets of Pune….khushi is so elusive….sahi mien..Kahan gayi saaaali khushi…
Saala ben di…’seene me jalan, aankhon me toofan sa kyon hai….is shehar me har ek shaqs pareshan sa kyon hai’….looks very close to this….
Saali khushi vapas ayegi Saali bothle utharne ke baad!!!
Mazaa a gaya Kadamji…..
maa kasam kaafi accha likha hai…keep blogging dude with ‘personal touch’…
Every blog is personal. If it’s not personal, it’s not a blog. Nice post and writing style! I enjoyed reading it.
Nice writtern sir !!
keep adding such more.
i was going through yr past blog ” Endings that stayed with me”.
that was also nice writtern sir.
loved it oye!
sab kuchh niji hai. bravo.
@ Anand- nice way to describe your angst I must say.and I seriously tried to picturise someone on a scooty driving across Pune in search of khushi
btw agar khushi paane ka yeh ek raaz hai to I need to visit Pune more often & drive around in a scooty ( there’s one @ my home there too 
).and yes good that you’ve got over your depression, so have a great weekend.
Read an article on PFC after ages. Lovely.
Am a sucker for tragedy too. Loved Revolutionary Road.
Ananadji,
Laga apna hi likha kuch paddh raha hun. Dil ki baat dil tk pahunc gayi….
Dard pe wah karna bhi jyadati hogi…
Likhtey rahiye, santosh milta hai…
Nice way- more…….than text.
I wonder what will happen to PFC if everyone sends such article through i view.
nice article, knowing pune inside out, cudnt agree more abt the constables working for peanuts,
PMT buses there to kill u without even blinking an eyelid,
citypride kothrud (and light-on in the middle of the show),
e square (i hv reservations abt it being called the ‘best’ multiplex, i think the stairs leading to screen 4&5 are too naroow and perpetually crowded),
mention of victory, rahul, westend and mangala…the mazaa of single-screen theatres…
the depression of revolutionary road,
angst of nana in ankush,
songs of dev d & gulaal….
kahaan chali gayi hai saali khushi….
match-winner article hai oye… forget abt the personal rantings… keep ranting….
btw, frozen releasing in pune this friday. r u in pune? if yes, can the PFCians watch it together? wud ask arthi as well….
contact me on 0 93251 28075 if interested….
Satyendra,
Thanks.
Arey just left pune. would have loved to watch frozen with you guys may be some other time.
purane din yad dila diye Anand sir…..we used to follow pretty much the same routine, go to City Pride Kothrud and then say, “to hell with it,E-Square chalo!”
keep them coming……
btw the added advantage of going to e-square is the food at chaupati, or Delhi kitchen in model colony
