Spoof-e-Bollywood

For me this is an alternative form of entertainment:  Spoofing.  While this has been common in Hollywood movies its not that much seen back home.  But with Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om, Farah Khan has become the master spoofer.  In OSO she takes on 70s/2000s Bollywood, Tollywood to the hilt.  Result is a deliberate bhel of cliches spanning decades.  And as tasty too: Great performances (with amazing casting), good music, good screenplay and great special effects! Slurp!  The end credit style (or opening credits?) has become a trademark.  Finally Farah making an entry into an already-over event shows the magic of laughing at yourself.

Too bad many people didn't get the point of the movie style and came out disappointed.  Too bad really!
