Kya week tha! writes Sajid Khan

Waah, kya week tha! Starting last Wednesday, which saw the Eid release of Indian cinema’s (looks like it!) biggest grosser, Sultan. Just when everyone thought that with Salman’s ongoing controversy, the film’s collections would be affected, Sultan proved them wrong. 

The connection
Some so-called experts in the film industry even said, “Picture so-so hai, but kya hai ke Salman ki picture toh hit hoti hi hai.” Really? What about Veer, Main Aurr Mrs Khanna and Jai Ho? I rest my case. The truth is Salman’s performance has touched the viewers’ hearts. And the film connects.
 Just like Eder’s leg connected with the ball which made Portugal win. It was almost like Prem Chopra, who played a Portuguese policeman in Pukar shouted ‘Viva Portugaaal’ in the stadium. 

Ball vs boil
In their victory celebration, the team almost gave their ham chacha coach Paulo Bento a heart attack. They lifted him and kept tossing him up in the air. Paulo ke dono pau ulte they and when he landed on the ground, he looked like the ball which was used throughout the match.
Ronaldo did an Anil Kapoor. Doesn’t sound correct, right? Arre, dirty minds, I’m talking about how Anil Kapoor had taken centre stage with the Oscar in his hand for Slumdog Millionaire! Ronaldo did the same thing. Only difference was wahan pe Danny Boyle kho raha tha aur yahan pe Paulo Bento boil ho raha tha.
 
Tennis tales
Boil se yaad aaya, Murray won the Wimbledon. One couldn’t help but feel bad for Raonic, the Canadian contender. If Vijay Arora and Tariq had a younger brother in Yaadon Ki Baaraat, it would be Raonic. He is a clear-cut, chikna, Canadian chokra. A proper late 60’s Hindi film hero like Joy Mukherjee, whose sons are called Toy and Boy Mukherjee. Imagine if he had a third son, what would he name him? Enjoy Mukherjee!
The saddest part of the week was the unfortunate leaking of Great Grand Masti on the internet. This is a menace which can quickly demolish the film industry. Yes, you read it right. No more films will be made. And that is the truth. Think about that. And while you do, support the film by watching it in the cinema hall.
