Chronicles of the Man from another Planet

#theManfromAnotherPlanet - 20s
Is 2 ft. On longer side
Met him 2 yrs. ago.

Makes me lie down linear,...stands on 1 side of my body,... jumps up high, to land back on my TORSO, with such perfection that his knees, land exactly on my rib cage, everytime, without miss.
Is telling me, that I am, his SWIMMING 🏊 pool!!..
With an UNAPOLOGETIC.. "..thik Aye.."

a whaaTssss??!!?? Swimming pool??!!?? YES...

This is bcoz, i didn't cooperate, when, earlier in the evening, he declared, that I was a road:
"..aap meli ROAD ho, ... Thik Aye... Me aapke oopar, aishe aishe, (shows thru hand ✋ gesture) 🚶 Chalke 🍠chhabji 🍅 lene jata uooon!"

all this... while, walking over my head to toe, with my spinal chord, forming the Centre of that ROAD...

hoWss!! non- chalent, cold blooded, IMAGINATIVE??!!

Goes to MIRROR weeping, every 5 -10 minutes 🕒, climbs up, checks his MOUTH 👄 from various angles,.. gets sad 😔 and cries again....

back in living area... Is doing a propaganda that I've taken, some of his TEETH, and pressurizing me to return those.
complaining to my father, with a sense of betrayal n anger 💢 :
"Dada, Ishne ne ye bala daant, apne munh me laga liya... ushko daanto,...ye achcha bachcha bee nai aye..."
shows the gap, between his toddler set of teeth...

I have spent entire evening, convincing Him, that those gaps between his teeth are natural ; and the teeth in my mouth are mine, not stolen from his set,..

scrutinizing my 'grown up set' of teeth; He inspects inside of my mouth, carefully; "aaa dikaao... (with a frown) 😦" ...
 like spies, secretly peep, and examine rooms, from above, through ventilator slit !!
Starts crying more loudly....

bcoz there are no Gaps in between mine, as compared to his teeth.
 Thinks I'm lying, and all those teeth in (imaginary) gaps, actually belong to him.

Now he is more sure that I have taken his teeth.

I do not know what to do, now. I am helpless 😣,.. Repenting, my joke, when I told him, that I took his teeth, while he was sleeping 😴.

No one, at 🏡 home, except for 2 of us.
Me: "veer bahadur bachcha kaun??"
 He (chanting with me): "nanveel! Nanveel!!"

Me: "Dhakkan buddhu ladka kaun..??.!"
He is smiling ☺ in advance... Even repeats with me halfway..
He: "......larka kon"
(chants the response with me):
"nanveel! Nanveel!!"

4 guests are home. I'm the showman, they are my audience / viewers / tamaasha-ee.. .
Show begins.....
Me: "veer bahadur bachcha kaun??"
 He (disillusioned, chanting without Spirit ! no Audibility !): 😴 😴
"nanveel! Nanveel!!"

Ppl barely hear him..
I try to wrap up the show at-least to sober end.

Me: "Dhakkan buddhu ladka kaun..??.!"
He: witty, amused, shrewd, ,...
"Aley!! ☺... Dakk- khan toh, BAATAL me lagaate he naa..!!"
attacks again, with sarcasm, :
"tumko pata bee nai tha, CHYAA..!!???.."

Laughingly looks at all others, ...
"...tummm chyaa aaadami ho yaal !!??!! "

Me: looking into oblivion....avoiding gazes... I was the show!!

KAABIL... it is...

.... anecdote: do not skip  #KAABIL, for anything,.... forget  B grade films like Raees...

skillful director #Sanjay Gupta must have had hard time, finding a window, to come out of his stylized stints; where he managed a handsome fool, sanjay dutt, to deliver noir toned, 'extended -frame by frame-inspired', gangster flicks. Natural ground for guns and gore, which was sort ofsafe haven for Gupta.

....gupta got this opportunity, to vent out n explore his talent, beyond sepia tones; when he met, his hard working BOSS, a non manipulative perfectionist.......#HrithikRoshan....

That's 'Kaabil' for you. A blind man's vendetta saga,  against a collegium of goons...
Like a focused yogi,  Hrithik does not,..not even once, falters in his craft... neither does he ever dominates gupta's, nerve wrecking play of camera, narration and taste for blood....
His greek god like chiseled torso, is neither required nor is involved.
Gupta to his credit, keeps you stiff and on edge, enough, that your eyes n gut feeling, dance to gupta's tune.
Gupta keeps editing tight, and doesn't spare unnecessary shots and scenes.
Blind protagonist is not a 'bechara netraheen', with disability.  This blind man is a common man, who when forced to wall, strikes back like lightening, with his divine abilities.

but this Film never claimed itself, to be divine, and so,  has it's own share of earthly flaws...
1. roy brothers put forth effort in their role play, but fall short of wits, in front of Hrithik's powerhouse performance.
2. what happens to the corrupt cop. He was a critical ally of villains and instrumental in all twists n turns of story.
Was he left to live happily ever after?
Gupta has this bizarre habit of leaving loose ends....  as if he wants us to be curious, search for the usually Korean original and satiate our trivial curiosities on our own.

But then, Kaabil was never projected to be a magnum opus. It remains lesser than being great. However,  is far better than all of it's contemporaries.

Away from glitter and flash; at source of all this. sits a kingpin,.... Rakesh Roshan in his laboratory called #FilmKraft... successfully shielding his decades of showmanship, away from limelight, under wraps.... mentoring son Hrithik Roshan, one of the finest actors in current lot; churning

for #Kaabil,  congrats to gupta - Hrithik duo; Keep the good work on.
and congrats to their... kingpin.....
Sshhh...
