Priyanka gets smart!

Priyanka Chopra’s slowly beginning to learn from the endless list of mistakes that came together to form Love Story 2050. She’s learned not to release movies on the same date, especially when the other one is sure to eat your movie whole. So, after a month of intensive finger-puppet therapy to ease her mind, Priyanka has finally approached UTV’s Ram Mirchandani and asked for the release date of Madhur Bhandarkar’s latest tragedy, Fashion to be changed so that it doesn’t clash with her other movie, Tarun Mansukhani’s latest attempt, Dostana.The zombies at UTV thought it was a great idea and totally high-fived on it. Priyanka, who attained diplomatic samadhi at the press conferences of Love Story claims that both her films will do well, even though they are releasing pretty close to each other. Right. Madhur and Tarun, a combination that has most of us contemplating death by drowning are going to deliver some stellar stuff I’m sure.

Well, things can only go up from here for Priyanka; I doubt any of these will be as bad as Love Story. The fact that Harman Baweja isn’t cast in either is in itself a sort of redemption. I’ve seen people on their knees in the rain sobbing and chanting the Gayatri Mantra aloud after Jaane Tu and Contract just for this very special feature in both movies. The future looks hopeful again, no matter how bleak it is.
