Sad Story 2050

Theme: cinema : Love Story 2050 : Priyanka Chopra
Kartikey Sehgal
The promotional song of Love Story 2050. The hero says something in English to sound very modern and ‘cool’. Then he starts dancing with malnourished people who are the film’s ‘extras’. He moves his neck, his torso and his back to prove that he is not afflicted with polio.
All this while, Priyanka Chopra, looks at him and smiles. She is not doing much else and to compensate for that, she has been given a red wig. The movie is called Love Story 2050. Apparently, in 2050, girls will look like mannequins and wear the weirdest of costumes. A good reason to marry now.
Later in the film, the hero dances with some robots. He mixes well with them. The robots are brilliant and they almost match up to the expression of the hero. Surely, the ‘extras’ are going to have a hard time in 2050.
Priyanka Chopra smiles again. Her teeth are white and that is good news for future aestheticism.
In the last shot of the film, it is easy to notice the hero’s hair. Very unreal hair that has seen all brands of cosmetics. It is crisp and brown and despite the heavy duty dancing, it has not left its place.
Really now, what’s so new about the film? The hero is made to look and dance and flex like another popular hero. The song is strictly average. The dance is an imitation of a hundred other dances. What about the acting? What about cinema? Does this compel any movie lover to go to the theatres? People will see it only out of boredom in their regular lives.
Come now, author! There is a reason you have not used the word ‘actor’ anywhere in this story.

Note: Robots in Japan are working in hospitals. They also have dancing Robots that are imitating traditional Japanese dances (image left).
In the Hindi Film Industry, they will train as dancers(image right). I hope they run away with some heroine and make better films.

Haha nice one…
The thing that ticks me off the most if that the she-robots are a badly executed rip-off of a robot character in Robin William’s Bicentennial Man… Boooo! >:(

We need more reviewers like you.
So did you just see the song or did you also watch the movie?

Hi Wd,
The song gave the movie away. The robots, the woman, the dance, the ‘hero’ and his hair represented the movie.
