Rajneeti

there once was a boy named prakash jha and he decided to make a film.

he took a sheet of spotless white paper and on the top wrote "RAJNEETI" in a sharp font. he loved the name of the film.

then he drew a figure of a sari clad lady, pallu on the head and one hand raised to herald her arrival. he painted her face white to distinguish her land of birth. next he drew the face of a suave clean shaven boy-man in rimless spectacles.

then he began to cry. coz he cudnt think of a story.

prakash's mommy came to his rescue. she suggested him to make a story on mahabharata, the evergreen block buster epic with all the masala for a wholesome hindi potboiler.

prakash was happy. he began to call the boys and uncles in the neighbourhood to play the evergreen characters. ajay, manoj, arjun, nana, naseer all agreed.

but when he called the new kapoor on the block for arjun, he said he wants to play michael. prakash was stumped and looked up his epic but couldnt find a michael.

michael who? he called up again.

Michael Corleone.

Arjun got the wind of that and decided he will play a yudhisthir cum bheem cum sonny corleone for the price of one.

prakash began to cry again and his mom came to his rescue. jha be, look at the bright side, u have characters from mahabharata and scenes from godfather to get inspired. prakash smiled. he liked the word inspired a lot.

and he made rajneeti. i saw. i cried.

i laughed too when -

1. katrina decides to accept arjun as her husband and there was a enlightened cat-call from the front.. isko bhi seetapur ka ticket chahiye.

2. kunti goes to meet karna to tell him that he is his son.. the same cat-call again... lol
