If Jameel was a Bhand then Danial Kareen’s latest movie would be “Sky fall”


Remember that Maula Jutt’s film where he is fighting Noori Nuth near a railway station and his sister accidentally hits him with a Gundasa and Mr. Jutt looses his memory. Do you remember when Austin Powers is trying to catch Goldmember and his girl shoots at his behind. That is exactly how I felt when the latest James Bond film began, just a little Glitter Coated with the experience of Hollywood. I am really impressed what one would try to keep a legend alive. I have been saying and will say again Bond is dead and please don’t dig his grave any more. The lesson to be learned by this great endeavor is that Advertising can win you a great market. Really tell me how long are you people going to achieve that? Sorry I know the answer is ‘until the last fool realizes it’s a lie’. What is the real difference in Maula Jutt’s film and this one? The answer is in big budget and Hollywood. Finally the have realized that the terrorist in with in them not us. This film is all about that if you really ask me.

The Story is secret data go missing, Bond is dead, Head office blows up, try to regroup, bond is back, the bugger survives depleted uranium shot to his chest, gets up finds the culprit and finishes him off then finds the real guy who out wits MI6 and tries to kill ‘M’. Reason you ask, well he is an old agent left missing in action years ago. That’s about it for the story.

But, oh boy how many Missing in Action personnel does the Royal armed force have in recent wars? Don’t look at me I really don’t know but some of them might be potential terrorist according to this film.
Before I went into the theatre I said this to a friend

“If Jameel was a Bhand then Danial Kareen’s latest film would be “Sky fall”

This buddy of mine is a great fan of Bond films but he had similar comments at the end of the show and I am sure similar thought when he was watching it. It did feel like I am watching a new Pakistani film made in Hollywood.The script writer might have watched a little too many Pakistani stage plays before writing the script.

I do want to ask this why is it that the mirror scene form Bruce lee film “Enter The Dragon” in the opening title and the underground train derailed scene were important. Honestly I have only 2 reasons. Firstly the Mirror scene, it is either that the director is obsessed with the scene or there is nothing better he could visualize in terms of breaking the image. Because to break a person you break his/her image. The second scene with the train and all, well it seems like action sequence now a days are so many that it is hard to image a new one so everyone tries to copy this one.
