Exploding Cars! Crazy Misunderstandings! Mustaches! This Is BOL BACHCHAN!
This is Bol Bachchan.
I've now watched the trailer half a dozen times and I don't understand a lick of what's going on. As a matter of fact, after watching it the fifth time I said "uncle" and requested a synopsis from the publicist, who kindly agreed and sent me this:
However, in spite of my continuing confusion, I still want to watch the hell out of this film for a few simple reasons. Number one, this is the latest collaboration between director Rohit Shetty and star Ajay Devgn, who've had massive success in the past with really entertaining films like those in the Golmaal series, and last summer's surprise hit Singham. Number two, the film appears to be a comedy and co-stars Abhishek Bachchan, who should ONLY EVER BE IN COMEDIES because he's actually really good in them. Number three, they blow up a whole fucking bunch of cars in the trailer. Number four, that fantastic physics defying action that I love so much. Lastly, number five, pretty colors.
Check out the loud and exciting trailer for Bol Bachchan and try to understand what it means without reality collapsing in on you, I dare you.
Bol Bachchan opens worldwide on July 6th.
I've now watched the trailer half a dozen times and I don't understand a lick of what's going on. As a matter of fact, after watching it the fifth time I said "uncle" and requested a synopsis from the publicist, who kindly agreed and sent me this:
Abbas Malik lives in Karol Bagh, New Delhi with his sister Sania. They are legally fighting for an ancestral property - land case. But the odds turn against them and they lose. Their well wisher, Shastri Chacha, advises and convinces them to migrate to his village Ranakpur where he assures Abbas that he will get him a job at his owner's place. The owner being none other than the powerful Prithviraj Raghuvanshi. Abbas enters Ranakpur village and while saving a child trapped inside a temple, he breaks open the lock of an ancestral temple but fate plays an important twist in Abbas' life as the whole village including Prithviraj's step-brother Vikrant opposes Abbas' actions but Prithviraj arrives and handles the situation. On being asked his name, Abbas's friend comes out with a fake name, as it would create a rage if villagers came to know that the lock of a temple had been broken by a Muslim. From here starts a series of cover-ups, goof-ups and comic situations where to cover one lie, Abbas starts padding up with a bigger lie telling people that he also has a twin brother with no moustache. From here on starts the topsy-turvy journey of a single person acting as two different entities.As you can see, this completely clears it all up...
