Rendezvous with 'Ni masi'

 "Ni masi teri ti da nakhra barra... ni masi teri ti da nakhra barra.. Ye tou apnay aap ko smjhay khwabo ki shahzadi, is ka haal na bdla tou phir kon karega shadi ... ni masi teri ti da nakhra barra... ni masi teri ti da nakhra barra..."


Welcome to Lollywood :D

Yesterday, I was switching channels and after ascending and descending several times I decided to entertain myself with a Lolly Jolly film. I thought it would be good to watch something different, for a change.

I don't know the name of the movie but the actors were beautiful Babar Ali as Haider and ravishing Reema Khan as Kajal. Like many other films that are based on college and university, this movie also showed both as students who not only have personality clashes but the family and background differences too. Reema is a proud and arrogant girl while Babar Ali is mama's obedient and pious son.

The entertainment turned into amusement and hilarity when Reema's aunty (masi) comes to pick her up from college and Babar Ali begins singing this song with a platoon of 12-14 people. Surprisingly, they all knew those clumsy PT-style dancing steps that Babar Ali was performing. Here in this scene, his aim was to bother and irritate Reema and to hurt her ego.

Beside the funny dance and actions, it is the choreography of the whole song that makes one to continue laughing.

Funniest thing is while Haider constantly tries to annoy Reema, her aunty also starts dancing and enjoying and Reema leaves the campus only after he finishes the song. Although, technically and logically, she could leave the campus immediately for she had her driver car. As to why she allowed Haider to irritate her.

After seeing the silly latkas and jhatkas, I decided to watch the whole film, but K-Electric didn't allow me.


However, after having this extremely entertaining and joyful ride on the sofa, I came to the conclusion that the concept and idea weren't bad, but the execution. The cheesy dialogues, poor choreography, and Reema's queer dressing make one to further deplore the film.

Film making, therefore, requires education too and these 90's movies completely lack the factors of grace, which our movie makers have begin to exhibit now.
