Maa Kasam Filmy hai

Hah !
I have finally decided to start with the topic closest to my heart – Nausena….

For the uninitiated, this “nausena” has nothing to do with wars and fights; this is a bunch of nine intelligent, talented, peace-loving, never fighting girls & guys (or is it ;-) who hail from MBM Engg College, Jodhpur.

Year 2000 – College Cultural Fest – Renaissance – Event – Film Destroy
Film Destroy was the event in which each team was given name of a movie and the group has to make a mock on it to make the audience laugh. We talented people decided to participate in the event, and this is the story how we “really made people laugh” (on us)…
(how much I hate to write background like this….)

Enough of background now, we were given the movie ‘Rangeela’ and 10 min to build the plot (Just 10 min – for a group who takes at least 1 hour of discussions to decide even to go to a juice center, which they visit daily)
So everybody started shouting (cant distinguish who said what)
“We should tweak with the character names”, “And also with the songs”, etc etc
……everybody was saying something or other, but one voice was consistent, it was Chatur
“We ll sing that song definitely – saj rahi gali mori ma sunhari gote me’ (Don’t ask me, how is that song related to rangeela ! - No Relation )

Achievement – In all that shouting and countless ideas and more ideas and even more ideas, we could ‘almost’ boil down on a plot

Movie Name - Shangreela

Casting
Billi (Mock of Mili) - Shipra
Billi’s father - Chatur
Kamaal Don (Jackie’s mock) – Chirantan
Tunna Bhai (Munna’s mock) – Piyush
Kamaal’s aide – harsh
(Since there was only one female role, me and Nishu made the sacrifice – believe me, it would have been even more funny otherwise :-)

Story line
‘Tunna bhai’, jo ‘tunn’ rehte hain ‘billi’ se shaadi karma chahte hain, par Billi ka sapna hai bahut badi Don banne ka, iske liye vo ‘kamaal’ ka saath chahti hai…..

So far so good - Plot seems great, but ache plot ka kaise kachra hota hai, jaane ke liye padiye aage

Curtain Opens……
Background music – “Shangreela Re………..” aur Billi ki entry…
And then Billi does her funniest dance performance ever (in some arbit Chinese style) on – “Khai re khai re Chowmein Khai re

Billi ka baap “Billi tum life me kya karma chahti ho”
Billi “Papa mera sapna hai ki main ek din bahut badi don banoongi”

Then Kamaal Don enters with his aide Harsh.
Harsh brings the mike and intends to speak a dialogue. But Kamaal Don takes the mike and speak out dialogues for both. Harsh listens silently and after the scene, just takes the mike backstage.

(thoda sa background (again!) ‘kamaal don’ urf Chirantan is very fond of stage, stage par aate hi unhe kuch kuch ho jaata hai, khud ko perform karne se rok nahi paate)

(Harsh comment later – main to ‘Tiwari’ ban gaya, bas mike pakda kar aa gaya – tiwari was the admin person who used to place mikes on stage)

Time for next song (hindi film hai – songs to honge hi) – again a mind-blowing performance by Billi for kamaal bhai – “Tanha tanha yahan par ‘Peena’ yeh bhi koi baat hai”

Ab samay hai ‘Tunnai bhai’ ki entry ka (he is supposed to introduce himself).
But hamare Kamaal 'Chirantan' Don who has played ‘Sutradhar’ more than any other role on stage, suddenly assumes the role of ‘sutradhar’ and introduces Tunnai bhai

“Yeh hain Tunna Bhai
karna chahte hain billi se sagai”


(This way Tunna Bhai also gets deprived of dialogues)

Aage, ab aage kya, 10 min me itna hi plot decide ho paaya tha
sabhi characters ek doosre ka chehra dekh rahe hain

Kamaal Don again takes the initiative, goes to Tunna Bhai, and saya
Yeh billi bahut bhaav kha rahi hai, kyun na hum donon haath mila le…”

Now comes the bouncer - Most exotic dialogue ever in hindi cinema
Kamaal don“Jab mile Kamaal se Tunna Bhai”
“To ho gayi unki Sagaai”
- replies tunna bhai

Vah kya kafia baitha hai” – Kamaal announces in the mike

Aur "kamaal don aur tuna bhai ki sagai" ki khushi ke mauke par Ladki (billi) ka baap Chatur aur Kamaal’s aide Harsh sings a song
Kaun sa – no points for guessing
"Saj rahi gali mori ma, sunhari gote me……………
