SRK - A Living Legend

               SRK- a simple Delhi boy to the Uncrowned King of Bollywood! He is full of life,energy and zeal with a childlike  enthusiasm.
          He is an obstinate person and its difficult to distract him from his destination.His waywardness is an inspiration to many.Once he takes up a project,he puts his time,soul,heart and of course lots of money into it. Be it his movies or his thoughts expressed on talk shows,he always succeeds in charming the audiences. 

          Many have 
tried to put him down by commenting or writing things about him saying he is arrogant,self-centred,gay etc.But ask the people who really know him inside out and they will vouch for his genuineness,which comes across very easily even during his interviews.

         


      He is criticized for not talking on the economy and state of the country often,but without being apologetic,he has always cleared the fact that he is an entertainer and will give back to  society by entertaining them.He mostly doesn't comment on something  just for the sake of making public speeches and pleasing the media.But once he feels that he can act as a role model for younger generation by sharing his knowledge and views,he does it with full conviction.


         He has achieved success and doesn't mind talking about it openly and enjoying the fame.He has adrenaline flowing like electricity;whatever he determines he achieves it.No matter how injured or in pain,once in front of the camera or performing for his audiences, he is full of vitality...like a lighted candle!
                                 
        Many feel he is not doing much on the charity front,but the fact is he does charity in his own way.Although its good if celebrities do charity under media coverage as it will only inspire fans to follow suit,that need not be the case every time. SRK doesn't want to make it public as he thinks its something personal and as he himself says,he is shy by nature. 
    
                        
         Competitors criticize him for doing only specific genre of movies,but even then they are refreshing ;like rain at the end of a muggy day.He makes the audience fall in love with him all over again.For the detractors,he has done different varieties of roles;be it the obsessive lover in Darr, the sweet friend in Kuch kuch hota hai,the sacrificial lover in Veer-Zaara,the suave coach in Chak De,the determined one in my Name Is Khan or the cool Don;Srk has done it all with panache and has done full justice to them.


          Even at 45 he is like a volcano, which has pretty nearly used up its fire and brimstone, but is still boiling and bubbling and looking out for new and different openings to erupt the never ending energy.

Let's find our soul

         'The biggest hit of the year','the blockbuster which broke all the trade records','the largest box office collection till date'; these are some very common statements we get to hear these days when a new movie releases.But I wonder are they really worth the money they earn as profits? I don't think so.
  
       Movies these days lack soul.They are just one-time-watch movies,unlike movies like Deewar and DDLJ which we feel good about even after watching them for the hundredth time! The script and the story seem to be written just for the sake of it, as if it has been written just because they wanted to write something! Even the songs are not as impressive nowadays.At times the performances are mediocre. 

               In the recent past, only a few films like 3 idiots and My name is Khan have been worth watching.Wanted was also an entertaining movie.And only a few actors of gen-next like Shahid kapoor and Ranbir kapoor  and Priyanka Chopra have done some good acting.We lack stories that are soul-stirring and can help us think n feel good.  "The script demanded this particular scene" seems to be the favourite line of directors these days,leaving most of the audience not so comfortable.Just trying to ape western culture in the name of modernization is slowly taking away the essence of  style of movies.
 
              We are really looking forward to some good and Meaningful movies with strong performances that can entertain as well as touch our hearts.
