Does reel really ought to be real by Vallari

Does reel really ought to be real

While the scientists seem to struggle to create a perfect time machine, for a movie buff like me there is no better source of  time travel than a well made film , via a movie you can travel across places and periods in fraction of minutes. Via a movie, it takes mere moments to escape the ruthless reality and dwell into flawless fantasies. But does that brief escape make the reality any different ? Do those fantasies ever come alive? Does life offer you as many retakes? Are there any sequels or remakes? Answer is a big NO . No matter how realistic the cinema gets , there always remains an invisible strand between real and reel . Here are the five aspects of life where reel life leads and sadly misleads.

1.  LOVE

Yes. Love is the most overrated emotion when it comes to cinema, specially Indian cinema. Trust me , the breeze does not start singing nor does sky, heart as always beats and there is no playing of guitars in it , you don't see your beloved's face in clouds and you are as hungry and thirsty as always. No matter how madly you love a person you won't ever be cheesy enough to sing and dance with them in a public place nor will be the public stupid enough to copy all your dance moves. And never expect Rab ne bna di jodi style, city size, I LOVE YOU, it's just , even if you are dating Shahrukh Khan , IMPOSSIBLE. 

2. COLLEGE LIFE

Again! No one comes to college carrying a single book in hand, girls don't roam around in six inches heel carrying pompoms , there are hardly any teachers  wearing sultry sarees like Sushmita Sen , students do study and you don't become student of the year by simply winning a treasure hunt or dancing at a prom night. You just do not. Deal with it !

3. GAYS

Indian cinema does play a major role in stereotyping this category of men. Gay men are generally shown as week and whimsical creatures. Who keep hitting on the macho men and in return are 'hit' by them. Remember, all those bobby darling movies? Where she had no role than to be a laughing stock? Whereas in real life gay men are at par with straight men when it comes to intelligence and physical strength. They have manly built and voices and no, their favorite color is not necessarily pink! We all know Ricky Martin , right ? 

4. STUNTS

While, a hundred kids jumped from their terraces hoping to fly like Krish a thousands were awestruck seeing Ajay devgan fight all alone with a tiger in Himtwala. Leave alone Rajnikanth ! No man was ever able to fight a ten in one go that too without a single drop of blood or sweat being shed and oh yes, Indian Police unlike Dhoom series never chased the criminals on their super bikes, never will. Even if you them gift one . 

5. GHOSTS

Just like the west can't do away with its vampires and zombies , same is Bollywood's obsession with its witches , their white sarees and contrasting long black tresses. 'Ek dayaan ki shakti uski choti m hoti hai'. Seriously ? and how can we forget that screeching laugh and 360° rotating neck! Hindi horror flicks are rather hilarious. No doubt, a paranormal world does exist , there is a life amidst death and birth but sure phantoms are not idle enough to adorn ghungroo on their 'twisted feet' and roam around the streets holding a candle stick! Afterall it's 21st century where we live in! 

Well, fantasy does contradict reality, there is no harm in dreaming once in a while , taking things in light humor, letting go the logic and enjoying & appreciating someone's creativity. Someone's imagination.
