SINGHS ARE KINNGS!!!

For the bollywood die-hard fans, this title may be quite familiar and personally I think its going to be another Askshy-Katerina blockbuster with a really lame and pathetic script. Surprisingly and fortunately, this movie comes along exactly when our country’s most prestigious politicians have a reason to smile. Oh yeah! I am talking about the two Singhs of India – brave, fearless and yet two-faced - AMAR and MANMOHAN dadas! And as per tradition that no movie (at least in bollywood) is made without a lead female, we have one here too, none other than from ‘the first family of India’ – SONIAji. Sigh!

With a craze for petite things like super cars and gold plated Rolex watches, Amar Singh has the UPA as a new entity to his list of ‘rich best friends’ the rest being the glamour honored Bachchans and Ambanis. A peep back into his history, it was this tiny man who influenced Mulayam Singh Yadav to kill Sonia’s prime ministerial dream years ago. Thumbs-up man!

As for Manmohan Singh, who has been mauled over enough, is a meek puppet playing along well to the music. And it surprises me that he still holds the chair of PM. And bravely he fought all the odds (with a big push from the strings attached) and came out smiling at the end of the day. It is a weird feeling of pity that falls over me when I see him on television. God Bless him!

The week kicked off big time with a thrilling and spiteful ‘thamasha’ live from within the Lok Sabha and I truly enjoyed watching the showbiz whenever I could. From the high-impact speech by Omar Abdullah, romantic filmy dialogues and comical talk by Lalu Prasad Yadav (as expected), tongue-in-cheek extempore from Rahul Gandhi, the raw and power packed dialogues by PM (surprise!), to the melodrama of greed and prestige in digging up a bag full of hot cash; it was a joy to watch these people desperately struggle, fight and beg to make their points heard. I bet they have never worked this hard to date.
