The 2 Idiots !!

I think we have been out of touch with the bolly movies, says the hubby to an almost sleeping wife. I nod placidly.

He continues his wisdom ,the only way to enjoy Bollywood movies , is to keep watching them.

I smile , meaning to say yes baby ,that is the only way one will remember to leave logic and brain in the closet before the movie starts.

I get his dilemma.He is trying to explain to himself ,why we didnt enjoy the movie , which by the way was highly recommended by friends and family.

He fears he is losing his Indianess.

I had read reviews, read about the author director fiasco over the story credits.

So I was better prepared than him to be disappointed.

Actors didnt look like their part , neither was the dialogues original ,most of the jokes were old and stale , and to top it all was the delivery scene.

Exhausted and brain dead , I dragged my sorry self to bed.

When the Mr. came up with his last and final straw , you know he says , we should look at bigger picture , the message, that is what is important

.I roll my eyes , didnt you get it ? he asks.I pretend not to care ,he continues ..it is all about following your heart.

I turn around to say ,what bullshit ,and hear his peaceful snore ,glad to have found a good enough reason to like the movie .

I believe that day there was no 3 idiots but 2 .The two of us ,sitting through the painful hours ,one trying to find a reason to like it and another all the while asking herself ,what did she do to deserve this.
