Lara writes her own destiny

Don’t look now movie-goers, but Lara Dutta is writing her own script! She’s already written most of it and claims that the next draft will be the final one. The reason for doing something as potentially devastating as this is because the female characters in the scripts she’s being offered lack depth. She on the other hand, is just an ocean of knowledge and sensitivity.

She goes on to say that Bollywood scripts always glorify the hero while the heroine just prances around and falls in love with him. Her script will be different. It will have a female lead character that’s not an in-your-face feminist but just someone who shares equal space with the male lead.

Given our pool of talent, that’s a nightmare. Imagine Shah Rukh and Priyanka Chopra acting in this sort of film. Shah Rukh with his awful attempts to deliver an emotional scene and Priyanka with… well… she’s just terrible.

So… hint hint Lara, there’s a reason why mainstream movies are written a certain way. The Barbie and Ken dolls we have for actors are already biting off more than they can chew with bad movies. If you throw them a whole steak, they’re going to choke on it. Asphyxiate. Die. Is that what you want?

That said, I find this sudden need to assert your femininity pretty odd Ms. Dutta. Why did you sign up for the Miss Universe Pageant then? To highlight your mini-golf windmill shot? You just stood there in a bikini and asked for world peace or football stadiums or something. If you’re looking for cliches to change, how about that one? And here your whining about movies…!
