I was reading a review on the film Jaane Kahan Se Aayi hai (starring Riteish Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez) when a thought entered my head: Why are Indian writers and critics so stupid?
Don't these dumb idiots know life can't exist on Venus, even a 4 year old kid knows that! Grow up guys; there are planets outside our own solar system - why can't the girl be from one of those planets which can support life, instead of our solar system. Its little things like this which pisses off the audience for paying 250 Rs to see an idiotic film. At least get your science right! Do some research - it's not difficult - especially these days with Wikipedia and Google. Or here’s an idea… grow a brain?
It’s terrible to see actors like Riteish and Jacqueline work so hard and people not come to see the film because of idiotic concepts or lack of research. To waste talented actors in shit like Aladin and now Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai is a shame.
I have seen many Hollywood films based on female aliens coming to earth and I can guarantee that this one doesn’t even come close to any of them. One that really stands out in my mind is the Hollywood comedy My Stepmother Is An Alien, a brilliant idea which is well executed.
Why doesn’t anyone question stupidity in Hindi films? How can a writer, director, producer and actor all think that a girl coming down from Venus is a possibility? Shouldn’t someone at some stage of production have said “wait guys, life can’t exist on Venus how about if the girl is from Planet X”. And why do all Hindi films have to be about a loser who become a hero by the climax rolls around, can’t he just be a normal guy having an off day or something.
I doubt Indian writers and critics have the brain power to comprehend what I’m talking about. So it will be a sad day if Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai flops at the box office, but I will be the first to tell you, it won’t be a surprise.
If you would like to watch some really good Sci-Fi films about aliens, I highly recommend the following:
1) Forbidden Planet (1956)
2) It Came from Outer Space (1953)
3) I Married A Monster From Outer Space (1958)
4) The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)
5) Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
6) Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956)
7) The War of The Worlds (1953)
8) My Step Mother Is An Alien (1988)
9) 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
10) Starman (1984)
