Lately,
filmmakers have been gripped by a sort of superhero frenzy. Men with colourful
long flowing capes are being seen much too frequently on TV screens. Add an
adjective before ‘man’ and you have a brand new superhero, whoever came up with
this idea must have been a really lazy man. I mean if he could take time to
draw up a ‘Super’hero with such awesome ‘Super’powers he could’ve taken some
more time to create a name which was more creative and less obvious than
‘Super’man. And what was the purpose of the cape…?, if anything it creates more
air resistance and makes it more difficult to fly. Thank God the creators of
Flash had the common sense to get rid of it. Lastly, how can one forget the
Red- underwear-on-top-of-a-bodysuit design. It couldn’t have been more tacky.
Indians
have always been interested in astrology and rotation and revolution of
planets. But “Shaktiman’…?, point towards heaven and turn yourself around like
a top…?
Come
on guys…, we are credited with the creation of ‘zero’. A little more
originality and something less embarrassing would’ve been better.
Leave
it to Rakesh Roshan to carry on the legacy of Shaktiman and what does he do..?
He
adds a dollop of extra power to a normal guy, gives him the ability to run real
fast and climb mountains and jump off tall trees. Commendable effort right..?
People approve of it and he thinks about a sequel. You give him the benefit of
the doubt and what does he do..?, gives the same normal guy super-fucking-human
abilities. He can now fly like superman, run like flash, catch falling
multi-storeyed buildings and come back from the dead. Frankly Mr Rakesh and
Hrithik Roshan…… HOW DUMB DO YOU THINK WE ARE…?
