Laughter & The Movies which did it


Was watching Padosan for a while...must have watched this movie 10 times....vow what a roller coaster... what innocence in all characters....The Great Kishore Kumar, Mahmood, Sunil Dutt, The veteran actor Om Prakash, easily the greatest Hindi Comedy Movie...Even Today One doesnt get bored watching these movies..This is what is called Timeless Cinema. In a Time, when Computer Technology changes every month, People Change Mobile Phones every 6 months, a New Car is Purchased every 5 years, when nothing in life seems permanent, why is it that a Movie which made your Grandfather, laugh so much, almost 30 years ago, makes you go crazy with laughter all over again when u watch it again for the umpteenth time. A movie which has made generations enjoy the same humor & made them laugh, every single time, what is this thread that keeps us all tied together & evoke same reaction..... Emotions....I think the basic emotions that we all strive for today, still remain the same .... Laughter it seems, is probably the best manifestation of the emotion of Happiness....




While, there is still a huge debate about the means & ends to achieve Happiness & satisfaction the same, & how to measure the quotient of Happiness or satisfaction in a Person. But How about a Laughter...When was the Last time we had a Big Thunderous laughter, the one where you forget your basic manners & etiquettes for a while and just break into a crazy hysteric laughter.... I am not referring to the smile which may grow big depending upon your jawline, but the crazy shrieking laughter, the one where your eyes are so much filled up with water, that one would easily feel that you are crying... That Laughter I am referring to ....



Last Night, again while watching the Movie Singham, I had a similar experience, not the eyes filling up with water, but almost a hysteric shriek...The Villian Prakash Raj, on being Cornered by the Cops, & were discussing various options to kill him off... The situation was quite hilarious & the actor did a great job of venting his frustration in a comic manner....



And Laughing apart from its obvious health benefits, is also a great antidepressant & can lift your mood by few notches....While Happiness is subject to fulfillment of lot of things, your desires, achievements, same may be the case with Satisfaction, whereas Laughter is Independent of any such thing. So to Speak Laughter is mutually exclusive of Happiness & Satisfaction, and may have same or better benefits than achieving Happiness or satisfaction



So How about having a great Laughter Soon …. I can suggest some all time Great Comedy Movies, which can help you achieve this job, Like “Half Ticket” , “Pyaar Kiye Jaa”, “Andaaz Apna Apna” “Peecha Karo”, “Jaane Bhi Do yaaron”, Golmaal (Original), “Rang Birangee”. These are some sure shot Comic Crapers, which will take you on a comic ride & rest assured, you will get that crazy laughter


Half Ticket – Kishore Kumar took being Crazy to the next level. He Plays a Kid in the movies in a major part of the movie…and a mentally deranged one …… What a Legend....Kishore, Mahmood, you don’t get people like these anymore
