Love Story 2050 premieres in London

Love Story 2050 director and part-time lab rat at Glaxo-Smith-Kline, Harry Baweja has organized and if sources are to be believed, successfully aired the movie at Cine World Feltham in London on the 2nd of this month. Now why would a Bollywood film, catering primarily to Indian audiences be unvieled in a Mira Road style suburb in London, best known for it’s 800 homes and 50 shops? Oh wait, there’s a library too. Maybe it’s for the 400 culturally starved Indian families who’ll grab at anything from a pallu flying in the wind to the latest botch-up from the Baweja camp. The poor N.R.I’s must’ve reached the otherwise deserted multiplex, expecting to see a Bicentennial Man type flick only to realize that Love Story 2050 is nothing more than Kaho Na Pyaar Hain from the twisted, drugged-up perspective of none other than India’s answer to Steven Speilberg, Harry Baweja. This entire scheme is perfectly crafted to ensure success - the Indian viewers world over will lap it up without thinking and the audience at home will be talking about the first time they saw a robotic teddy bear and ridiculous white jumpsuits for years to come.

Come tomorrow, the papers are going to be full of half-stars and reports of unprovoked violence outside cinemas nationwide. i can only hope that the robotic teddy bear has developed consciousness and saved the film with a decent performance…Teddy, you are the only hope!!!
