Sunday: A Quiver full of Dundays
Shomsher Kukri, a recently made friend, cause he serves at Naz8 the stale popcorns, 24 time re-heated tea and samosa that look like the samosas have farted on themselves. Naz8 is the closest desi theater serving desi movies. oz being a weakly weekly, biweekly or sometimes triweekly visitor to this heaven on earth that needs inch by inch cleaning with a mop, floor cleaner and a tanker of antiseptic Dettol. Perhaps that’s one heaven that needs cleaning. Not counting the “real one”, which will of course needs a shit load of cleaning each heavenly day cause of the wasted condoms lying on the floor that the Taliban and other fundamental terrorists are using to fuck the 72 virgins. Or was it a 172? I don’t know man. All I see is God getting sleepless nights and banging on his walls… BANG BANG BANG “Could you keep it DOWN… (pause)… WHO THE FUCK CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF 72 VIRGINS?”… and I see Allah, Christ, Brahma and Shiva shaking their heads in fear replying in unison “Not me!”
I’ve tried making love to one virgin in the 37 years of my life and I turned a sanyasi (Hinglish: Hermit) temporarily. Temporarily, cause mercifully God produced 72 de-virgins pretty soon after. More mercifully one “AFTER” another rather than all at a time. FUCK! Can you imagine what would have happened if all 72-de-virginized were just sent in to the oz Home at the same time. CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE THAT??? CAN YOU??? NO REALLY… CAN YOU??? How much time and energy would it have taken to clean the bedroom off the 72 condoms (used / unused / partially departed) and 72 condom packets? That is one serious bad back you are gonna get Mister.
Mister, I say. No Miss or Madam. Because while she lay on the bed after the act, it is you, poor bastard, who’s cleaning up the “act”.
Goddammit. When did this movie reaction become about fucking, condoms and cleaning, not to mention the Taliban and the 72 virgins. That’s the fucking problem with me. I should stay the course. Just like the 70 odd people who in their intoxicated state believed that raping two women on the streets of Bombay was their birthright. Specially if the women are drunk. So I’ve asked my girlfriend to eat each day a 4 inch by 4 inch piece of paper on which I write - “Don’t drink or you’ll get raped by the middle class in Bombay”
What the fuck?
Well I’m hoping that the fetus is already eating, digesting and ingraining those pieces of paper. Cause if that fetus is a girl, I don’t want her to be drunk and meet a certain Mr. Raj Thackeray who stares at her from his Ralph Lauren Glass frames screaming “If you drink you will get raped. That’s the middle class(?) of Bombay’s fundamental birthright and they shall have it!”
But using my minuscule brain power, I’v added an extra line “Don’t drink or you’ll get raped and if that doesn’t happen you’ll end up dead in a shitty seat at Alaka theater in Pune, even if you went to watch a movie at Naz8 in California” Raj rules and that’s the end of it. No questions asked. TV today is watched by humanity who’s brains have turned to peanut butter. So raping or tearing the clothes of girls who may have consumed alcohol is now a recognized fundamental birthright.
A certain Mr. Tilak is rolling in his grave. How the fuck would he know? He stopped at the No.1 birthright on the list. The generations later are now fighting for the rest of the 9 point birthright on their list. No.2 is jumping on women who are drunk on New Year’s Eve. No. 3 incidentally happens to be - tying a saffron bandanna on your head and screaming “Jai Hindutva… We have the fundamental right to kill and slaughter non-Hindus on the streets. But if you, who were killed was a Hindu… Ooops… sorry!”
Jai Maharashtra. I wear saffron day in and out. And that includes the color of my underwear. Don’t drink. Cause who knows how many assholes on new years eve will be gay beginning 2009 onwards and then scream on TV “That guy was drunk” to justify their “acts”. And remember it is you who cleans up after the “act”. Bad back? Try aspirin.
Where the fuck is this going?
Seriously, I’ve been trying my best to react to Sunday.
I’m not as smart as many of our reviewers, contestant and bloggers. My patience is wearing thin as I grow. And my attention span grows weirder and weirder. As weird as Ajay Devgan being labeled, since the last few years, by some bloggers and journalists as a “good” actor… If Ajay Devgan is a “good” actor, I’m fucking the Al Pacino of Bollywood, without a movie to my credit. HOOOOO HAAAAA…. Who besides me thinks that Ajay Devgan is the most overrated actor in Bollywood? The slight appreciation that existed in “Company” and “Omakara” is now wiped out and I’m back to square zero. Square One was where I had dozed off when Mr. Devgan decided from now on he will do comedy and make more movies like “You, Me aur Hum”, the trailer of which buzzed the screen like a light bulb desperately trying to extinguish itself. The bulb you see, is desperately trying to commit suicide, and reach heaven for the heavy workout of fucking 72 virgins than be subjected to physical torture of watching a trailer of “You, Me aur Hum”. There is just Gum (Highlish: Tragedy). Stick that fucking Gum up your ass walk out of the theater.
But you can’t. Cause there’s “Shomsher Kukri” standing at the door of Screen 2 at Naz8 where “Sunday” is playing.
“Ooooo Shaabji…. you no going out. only in”
What the fuck. I need a smoking break
“Oooooo Shaaaabji…. only watch movie… it is of my native country. Nepal. You watch or my Kukri kutting you likhe shaaku throoo bhutter”
Wha??? How the fuck does Sunday have anything to do with Nepal???
“Ooooo Shaaaabji… you dhumbash”
You mean dumbass
“Yesh… Sunday movie remhinds meeeh of my Nepal, because it is a gurkha… a.k.a. building watchman movie”
What the hell are you talking about???
“Ooooo Shaaabhjeeeee…. Ajhoy Devghanjee looks like watchman who chews too much tobacco and smokes ganja… his eyeballs don’t move 1 millimeter from their central position on either shide. Arshad bhooi is growing hair which is equivalent if not longer than the hair growing on my ass. Irrffaaan Khon knows not to open his mouth when he is stoned, which is to say, he is stoned on ganja throughout the movie. You wanna bet?”
No I don’t… what about Ayesha Takia?
“Ooooo Shaaabhjeeee… She is a watchman who paints her fingernails”
I had heard enough. I walked back in. Watched the entire movie. Walked out. Ordered a 6 inch thick pole from Shomsher Kukri serving at the food counter. I take the pole and walk to the table which has the sugar, the stirrers, the paper napkins. I bend over. I pour the entire sugar bowl over the pole and then… I shove the pole up my ass.
72 times.
For some strange reason I can’t get the number 72 out of my head.
Oh… and if you watch a 100 movies in 3 months you will have filmmaking knowledge that will be be nearly equal to equal to infinitely more than the director Rohit Shetty. Now all you need is convincing the idiots producers to pay money to make the film. Hey! If Nagesh Kukunoor and Anurag Kashyap can do it… then you can to… Believe in yourself!
F Minus. Write a note each day for the next 3 months and chew it up each morning. So that you can digest and ingrain within your inner system to avoid watching shit at Desi theaters. Oh… the note reads “Bollywood has lost it’s sense of humor…. lets go and fuck 72 virgins to torture ourselves”… Monica Lewinsky stands first in the line… as Allah, Christ, Bhrma and Shiva shake their heads to God’s angry knocking “Not me!”

@ Oz…Lol ! :D … Actually,…I was fighting shy of saying this on PFC,…but AD is the first professional actor I have seen who cant smile or cry because of physical limitations ! I mean when he tries to do any of the two,…it looks like something else !
Oz bhai, great review, if one can call it that. Just a small clarification. The 72 virgin fuck idea comes from a certain arab prophet, who was informed by Allah himself.
Once you die and come here to heaven, you will get a personal testimony from Mohammad Atta himself, who we learn could not go beyond 19th virgin. The poor guys spine collapsed. He has been condemned and sent back to earth.
We have nothing whatsoever to do with this virgin fucking bussiness, and therefore this protest email to clarify our good name besmirched gratuitously by you.
But keep the reviews coming. Source of great enjoyment here in heavenland.
Best regard,
Jesus Christ.

true… Sunday spoiled my Sunday.
most funniest thing of the film Tushaar kapoor doing an item number. what is this Manzar???? & Kashmakash?
Irrfan Khan? How could he accept this movie? He is trying to on the path of naseeruddin shah or om puri. Doing little good and lots of pathetic work.
OZ, what happened to that script writing competition PFC was going to held?
@Shailesh, Oooooo Shabjeee… take a pole and shove it up your ass… no seriously… wrong question to ask within 12 hours of watching Sunday. (that’s an extension of the standup of the post dude… :) )
Lol. this film badly needed an OZ review! thanks for sharing my pain.
I don’t know why people cast Ajay Devgan in Comedies…He sucks big time in them. He does brooding intense roles well- Company, Omkara, HDDCS etc…

This is one of the scenes from my future movie… OZ You reminded me about that goorkha character (named here as Shomsher Kukri Vs Jang Bahadur in my script)
OZ bhai…waiting for your next hilarious piece :)
Devgan is an actor with limited talent (so is Mrs. Devgan), Kukunoor is a director with no talent (lucky mf) and what the hell is Wasim Jaffer doing in the cricket team??
This isn’t a review is it? It is a weird feeling to be reading an article with so much contempt amongst articles with great content. What is weirder is that it is written by the owner of this website (so am informed). This was as nauseating to read as Sunday was to watch. Very unbecoming and certainly not good for the reputation of this very entertaining website.
I don’t know what the guest authors and the intelligentsia (Mithun, dabba, Kavita, Padmaja, DPac, Subrat, etc.) think of something like this.
And if am the only one who thought this is out of place… sigh… ok I’ll go shove a pole up my ass.
Oz bhai… I dunno if I’d call Ajay Devgan the most overrated… in the promos of Halla Bol (haven’t seen it yet) he seems pretty intense… but then that’s his forte… I think of him as a director’s actor… a good director, like a Santoshi, RGV or Vishal Bhardwaj know how to cast him (there’s 50% of the job done right) and how to get what they want for that character… I think this is why he’s considered a good actor… and these are the guys to thank for it…
PS - I thought the commentary (not sure if I’d call it a “review” per se) was fucking funny… as for this Anand G character, if you found it so “nauseating” I don’t see why you’d so readily agree to shoving a pole up your ass… unless, of course, that’s got nothing to do with this article at all..
Tony tera naam - all said out of goodwill from a person who’s homepage at home and work happens to be this website. That’s why I bother.
I have read other Oz articles too and I have no problem with ‘commentaries’ like this. It’s just that this is no more a blog. I have passed on the link for this website to ‘cinema lovers’ of various nationalities and age groups who are visiting regularly. I just thought that something like this is distateful and out-of-place for a widely read website.
Mera ghanta kya jaata hai… tu kuch bhi bol, kuch bhi likh? Just be 3-dimensional in your appreciation. For the greater good…
@Anand G
Dude, samjho yaar.. PFC’s readership is going down, and what can be done to increase it? Well, throw some profanities, the F word, bring in religion unnecessarily, abuse one or two actors and lo, the recipy is ready. And who dare edit/reject this piece if its written by the owner himself? What was that saying - Power corrupts and absolute..
Site should be changed to “Contempt for Cinema (Except for those which we PFC elite endorse)” from “Passion for Cinema”.
Disgusting , nearly equal to equal to the movie Sunday itself .

Oz bhai…Alaka theater was one of the few theater’s in Pune showing hollywood movies ….i have very good memories about it …cheap tickets and good movies ….
@Amit (13),
Friend,
Do you run any website?
Do you make films?
Do you run a publishing house?
or a advertising co?
You know such good formulas to upgrade viewership/readership.
PFC should be obliged to you if you could share some more wisdom and wise tips on “How to increase readership multifold”- Suppose PFC wants to make it 1 million hits per day, then you certainly can help.
many are waiting :)
@RK ,
buddy there is no need to pay attention to these people ….some ppl just like to oppose evrythng…..standing against the tide makes them feel cool …:)
=))=))=d>
Only those actors enjoy or give intense performances in comedy and crying scenes who are always at ease with their own faces because faces are distorted and if they worry too much about how would they be looking on screen while doing comedies or crying scenes then they may miss the train. In his first film Phhool aur Kante also he was better in intense scenes than in few comedy based scenes. Then there are faces where you cant differentiate whether actor is crying or laughing e.g Poonam Dhilon. She had this lacking.
Ajay Devgan will be judged in comedy fully when he does a “get up” based comedy role as then he can shed off his discomfort with his own face.
For comedy one has to bring expressions very fast on the face and some actors are bit lazy in this art and their faces are not animated as they should be while doing comedies. and above/top of this, this new sickening trend in hindi cine actors to reduce their weight drastically and this sudden reduction in weight makes their faces look like dead pans and expressionless.
Too much wt reduction is harming Hindi cine actors to great extent and they look plastic and they remain plastic on screen. Though actresses are more in to this trend but Ajay Devgan and SRK both can fall in to this trap. Their faces will not remain same alive on screen as they used to be before when they had natural fat on faces.
There was a scene in the climax of Golmal-Fun Limited where Ajay Devgan is lying on bed and Rimi Sen asks something and he lifts his face and sees her and his friends and say a swift “No” before hiding his face again in pillow. That was done with good comical sense. So its not true that he cant do comedy only his face does not support him in comedy scenes and he needs to shed inhibition.
Close up shows his teeth affected from smoking or chewing of tobacco. His eyes most of the time look like under the influence of heavy sleep or some kind of nasha pani. These factors need to be attended by him. camera catches the micro details. one has to take care of these things.
Its good with him that he wants to do different roles but then he is also trapped in the same trap as Urmila Martondkar has been trapped under the impression of doing different and great roles/ or Sean Penn or Edward Nortan. These all actors have done so many troubled charcaters on screen that its difficult to watch them in ordinary roles as they look like disturbed characters on screen.
when you select different then try to do it as your best also and certainly differtent than previous film. Though Ajay Devgan still is lucky out of rest of the above mentioned actors as he has been liked in Company, Yuva, Omkara kind of films where he has not played disturbed characters. But certainly “Mein aisa hee hun” has affected his style of acting in comedy films. He should remove that hang over. In Halla Bol also, in so many scenes he looks like coming directly from sets of “Mein aisa hee hun”.
He has got intense eyes and he should make his true come back else he is losing it.
RK saab… aapne to comment ki jagah poori post likh daali. BTW, i felt same about Ajay Devagan as you mentioned in ur comment.
@anand g ji,
:-) ‘intelligensia’??!!!!!!! gaaaaaatt…
u expect big things from pfc. big and serious things. i appreciate that. but (as i keep reminding most of the people here) PFC is and will always be a community blog. as long as any of the authors write anything dil se.. it stays the way it is.
just to be clear, the authors and the guest authors are free to express whatever they want here. theres no editorial board breathing down anybody’s neck. of course you are free to express (your utter disgust as i see it) your views for and against it as well… be it against any author or against the founder itself for that matter…
cheeerio..
@ Dpac… mate, it was just a thought. I was not disgusted at the article… only at the nonchalance to the possible consequences of a write-up like that.
I appreciate that it is a community blog and will remain so. With all the short-film festivals, ronin, pitcher, etc. I thought that the website is indeed working towards bigger things. And I personally do not expect anything. Am a boring auditor. It’s just that am aware of friends (from the AFI) visiting the website at my behest and u knw…
I said what I did with the best intentions. I back off :) Enough to worry about in Aus isn’t it? Hope you don’t have a home loan. God dayum the interest rates!
@ Amit - That’s the exact opposite of what I was thinking. I commented cos I thought (and know) that ‘readership’ is going up. Nah, it’s not that serious dude…
@ Anand Kadam - I was denied entry to Alka theatre when I tried to watch Indecent Proposal. I was all of 16 and the gate keeper said “20? tujyaila veda samajtos ka.. chal sut!” But anyway, Alaka and Vijay will remain my two most favourite theatres from the good ol days.
@ RK - You are bang on with your “Main Aisa hi hoon theory” about AD. The more I think of it, the more it makes sense!
Anand G ..
agreed Alaka and Vijay were the two best theaters …But Vijay had a really bad sound system …so i always preferred Alaka ..for that matter Rahul also played some good english movies at times ….anyways gone are the days of single screen theaters ….ab to multiplex ka jamana hai … :)
PFC is a site run by hypocrites.
@Raj …Please explain ..
THAT.. this article comes from the author AND the owner of this website, flabbergasts me. He might(just might!) be making a few genuine points
but where’s the pleasure, darling?
Ah,nah am not talking about your pleasure Mister,
am talking about mine!! MY PLEASURE TO READ YOU.
Reviews-Articles-Blogs &
responses-reactions-remarks alike,
are not entirely about:
agreeing and disagreeing,
knowing and not-so-knowing,
enlightening or corrupting.
they ought to express one’s opinions with such lucidity, that the one who disagrees is forced to egress, but all with grace.
Earnestly, the Ronin contestants need to think twice, if their writings and reviews are to be judged here and by one such!
@Oz
Yes, Bollywood has lost it’s sense of humour and it appears that so have you!
This was not funny at all :(
Agree on AD’s overrated actor status.
Looking forward to better stuff from you in future.
pfc has never been about one single idea or author. and just becoz there are some grand challenges getting big attention going on in pfc doesn’t mean pfc reduces to just that. and who is anyone to decide what is better content and what is not, or what should pfc do or shouldn’t? this is a platform for people who have passion for cinema. that’s it. those who don’t get that, well feel free to comment and move on :-)
In last five years, imo, “Waisa Bhi Hota Hain”, “Khosla Ka Ghosla” and “Home Delivery” were the only decent ‘comedy’ films. And you cannot actually classify those two films into comedy genre.. but those two films come closest to a comedy film. Well, actually you can…
Did all those film worked? Not really. Has Bollywood lost it’s sense of humor or the audience has lost their sense of humor?
Majority of the audience prefer toilet humor or gimmicks but……….
Anyway, the hopes rest on Quickgun Murgan to revive…
PS I forgot Munnabhai series. And I could’ve added ‘Hungama’…
@Anand
Since when did I become the intelligentsia ?:(
Im a blue collar bohemian / beach bum.
Oz… Every time you write something, we are entertained. Keep up the good work. Cheers!!!
You know what… I think, and this is just my opinion, that the people who criticize PFC the most, and those who consider this site to plagued with hypocrisy, are the more recent visitors to the site.
I’ve been reading/writing/commenting here for over a year now. And believe me nothing has changed. Not sure if the readership has gone up or down, that’s something that Oz needs to worry about, or does he, because this site is not really meant to be a “superhit mega portal serving the millions of film fans worldwide!”
What its meant to be is a community of film-makers and film-lovers alike. Its meant to, at some level, simulate sitting around a buddies place or a bar or a cinema hall and chat about all things cinema.
There’s a certain inherent informalness to it all, and that’s what attracts people like me and others to the site. I’d venture to say that some of the film-makers who write here CHOOSE to write here because they’re comfortable interacting so openly with everyone here.
YOU ARE FREE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF AND YOUR OPINIONS AS YOU ARE
That’s the beauty of it. No make up or made up bullshit required.
And if sometime your in a pissy mood after watching some shitty films, and you need to rant free-flow, then you are encouraged to do it.
Oz, as the creator and maintainer and overall “big dude” of this site is only leading by example. If he can write so freely here, anyone can.
pfc has never been about one single idea or author. and just becoz there are some grand challenges getting big attention going on in pfc doesn’t mean pfc reduces to just that. and who is anyone to decide what is better content and what is not, or what should pfc do or shouldn’t? this is a platform for people who have passion for cinema. that’s it.
@Anand G
May be I went a lil overboard to hatch up readership consipracy theory, but that was the first thought (Why would Oz do that!)which came to my mind after reading Oz’s article and that I read after reading Subrat’s column so, you can understand. But yes, I am wondering if this would have been published if it was not written by Oz.
@Tony Mera Naam
Agreed, then there should be no censorship in the comments section as well.
jayzee - i agree too
@Amit,
yes it would have been published!!
check the archives, there will be more of such stuff from different people (of course not in the inimitable oz style though)
Amir is the most overrated actor (post dch) .. he used to be an adorable actor before that but eversince the keeda of proving himsef as ‘mr perfectionist’ entered his head , his acting became artificial .
Devgan is probaby no 2 :) .. Santoshi is making Ramayana and Ashoka with him in lead *shudder*
@filmibhai…if amir is overrated what are your definitions of good acting? and who are the not so overrated actors in Hindi cinema right now? amir is perhaps the only actor in hindi cinema now (post amitabh’s 70 days) whose characters people remember rather than the actor — acp rathore, bhuvan, DJ to name a few….
@All Intelli-gents/ladies here:
Achhe khase funny post ka satyanash kar dala aap logon ne. Phate me taang nahi, pura ghus ke ander koosti kar rahe hain sab.
Bhand me jayen jyada sochne wale - its good that we have this site where we can write and discuss things freely. Don’t be so bothered with who commented what - I learnt that.
Pay attention to post/article, writer’s view and try to limit your comment to auther only. If you disagree send your detailed article/post and am 100% sure it will be published if it is worth with P for C.
Don’t comment on my thought please - keep doing what you want on this site - you are free as i said - zame raho
:d
filmibhai ,
amir is not atall overrated ..even if u consider before dch he carried the characters very well eg ..sarforosh ..1947 earth ..he is one of few “stars” who can really act …talking abt overated ..abhishek bachhan is highly overated same as his wife ..
:d:d:d:d…but ajay devgan…i still have some hope…omkara,apharan,gangajal,raincoat,the legend of bhagat singh,company,thakshak,hum dil de chuke sanam,ZAKHM and for SRK…i cant think of more than 2-3 films.
ajay is a directors actor i think amir is the most overatted actor
arijit
my definiion of gud acting is BigB. also Balraj Sahni, Sanjeev Kumar and Mithun Chakraborty (if uve seen his good roles) .. and so many non-star actors .. or there are actors whose talents have been severely underutilized in Bollwood (like Gulshan Grover, Kabir Bedi etc)
I still maintain Amir has become a pretender .. be4 dch he used to do guy-next-door roles which suited him perfectly .. notice his unassuming and natural acting in films like jo jeeta .., dil hai ki maanta nahi , sarfarosh , andaz apna apna, hum hain raahi , dch , ghulam 1947 etc ……
lagaan onwards he has become obsessed with projecting himself larger-than-life and seems to have lost all his instinctive acting in the bargain .. prime eg Mangal Pandey , tzp ..
instinctive acting can breathe life in a role .. Kishore Kumar in Padosan , Shakti Kapoor in AAA (crime-m-gogo :d ) , Akshay in Hera Pheri , Pankaj Kapoor in Office-Office (tv) .
this is what Amir has lost.
Well judeged on some actors for comedies. But why drag religion into movies? Oflate, the most unfortunate trailor i saw was of black and white. Will the usage of arabic language attract more people? i dont understand the logic behind this? Well..i sat and again thought..No!:d
@Oz
I now understand what you had to go through.
Filmibhai, you are spot on. Aamir has been acting badly post Dil Chahta Hai.
Mangal Pandey, Rang De Basanti, Taare Zameen Par, all badly acted. In fact, in Rang De Basanti, he was trying to mirror Atul Kulkarni’s performance, who was so very natural in the film. Aamir has become conscious of his ‘image’, but thankfully this is a curable disease. Remember that something similar had happened to Amitabh in the ’80s, with all that baritone and mannerisms (Haainh!). But Amitabh has come back magnificently in recent times - Dev, Nishabd and many others… I hope Aamir comes back too.
It could also be that this is a transition phase for him. Earlier he was that happy-go-lucky, naughty chocolate hero, which suited him so well. With age, he wants to do ‘mature’ roles, but his chocolaty personality hasn’t subsided completely. So what we get is an actor who is trying too hard to look mature. And when you try too hard, it shows. Especially, in acting. I still think he may slowly find his post-45 niche, a few wrinkles here and there, some grey hair and hopefully a little bit of gravitas.
