The Rowdy Akshay has smashed the box office with his latest flick and it is being termed as the biggest hit of the year, so much so that even Mr. Perfectionist is threatened by his rowdy-ness and has postponed his ‘Talaash’ release yet again to avoid clash with Akshay’s Khiladi ‘786’.
So what does it take for a movie to become the year biggest hit? All you producers, directors and actors out there, here are five formulas to shake the B-town and emerge as a rockstar.
Back to the Roots: Gone are the days when the leading men used to live in posh bungalows, getting down from a Ferrari and flaunting Armani suits, it’s time for our heroes to hail from small town, boast in their florescent colored pants, a small gaon ka ghar and an open jeep.
It was all about a poor hero and a gaon ki gori in ‘Agneepath’, ‘Dabangg’, ‘Ishhqzaade’ and ‘Rowdy Rathore’. It seems the masses now no more connects themselves with the money making NRI buffoons.
Teri Maa Ka…Saki Naka: Yeah we know, you all must have completed this statement in your pretty head. But this is what works right? The awesome amazing one-liners whether they make sense or are useless to the core.
But once heard are always in our head. From Chulbul Pandey saying “Itne chedd karnge…” to Bajirao Singham’’s “Maajhi Satkli” and now Rowdy’s “Don’t Angry Me!”, you can fill up your dictionary with these amazing one liners. P.S. Don’t forget to use them, though!
Jhatko ka Tadka: What is the utmost imperative element for a movie…hero nopes, a sexy glam doll heroine…nopes, a dangerous witty villain…no no not at all? All we need, and all that will send audiences running to the theatres is a perfect A-lister nautanki waali aka item girl. The tadka added by Munni in ‘Dabangg’, Chikni Chameli in ‘Agneepath’, Chand baby in ‘Ishaqzaade’ and Chinta ta ta in Rowdy is masala on the pani puri and hit in superhit.
Tough Guy huh! Its no more how beautiful the chick looks, all she needs to have is a lehenga, choli and all those long forgotten desi attires. The spotlight is now on the hero, pointed or handlebar Mucches, check! Aviator sunglasses, Check! Side partition hairstyle, Check! Collars pulled up, check! Multi-colored pants, Check! Funny dance steps Check! Over the top, jaw dropping, brainless, eye popping action sequence, Double Check!
Their throwback Super Action genre shadows most mainstream properties the U.S. is producing. Get ready to have your face blown to pieces.
Adaptation of Idli Sambhar: Lock up your thinking caps, throw away your pen and paper…we no more need some heavy duty writers and 1000 pages scripts, just pick up a hit south movie and redo it in Hindi. Yana Rascala, mind it!
