Tees Maar Khan and Farah Khan

I was watching this movie sometime back when it was being telecast by some satellite channel. I know it was a big flop and also what people think about it. But just for time pass I sat to watch it. I thought ‘it has Akshay at least. Won’t be that bad’…But I was wrong. It was not only bad, it was pathetic.

The worst message that I got from the movie was that the director and her husband think that we people are fools. And just because they are movie directors and roam around with biggest film stars of the country and some big production houses are lending them money, they think themselves to very smart people. You can’t call them stupid or idiot. Because at the end when they show the movie that was shot by the hero and his team, the scenes they show are actually taken in the same camera angle how it was shown while being taken in the movie. So, they are not fools, they are very smart people but they think people are fools; the same people for whom they are making the movies.

The movie Tees Maar Khan falls in the genre of ‘satire’. But making a satire doesn’t mean making fun of audience who love to see their original versions and showing the world ‘see, I am so smart’. I remember watching the best satire movie of my lifetime ‘Andaz Apna Apna’, which never made me feel that I am a fool. For that matter the movies like ‘Ajab Prem ki Ghazab Kahani’ and ‘You don’t mess with Zohan’ were also satires and I enjoyed watching them both.

The smart Ms Director Farah Khan comes as a judge of dance reality show now a days. If you watch this show you can discover some more colors of this lady; of course all colors adding up to same slogan: ‘I am the smartest’. There came a simple guy from village whose father is farmer. The fact that this guy can’t dance didn’t really bother our lady, what she was more concerned was how he speaks in English and made fun of him to her heart’s content. On the other hand when one guy came in London audition, who was very smart and good in conversation, Farah Khan gave away the certification to him saying (with a lot of fumbling) that he seemed confident and she didn’t need to see his dance. But the real joke was to see this guy dancing! This guy doesn’t know how to dance at all!

But these unconfident, not-able-to-speak-English and not-so-smart people are at least genuine in what they are doing. They are not faking people. So, if you think them fool, you are only proving how big fool you are; no matter how much you harass them in the reality shows.
