The Spidey Returns

It's the season of sequels. Nice kiddy- kiddy movies going family- family kinds in their new avatars. And in his new avatar, spidey rocks, and when he did so (but not better than Prabhuji aka Mithun da), i fell from chair, rolling with laughter. Rock and roll.

Spidey is now fully settled in the city, and people love him, especially the kids. He is now ready to replace Shilpa Shitty now, appearing in concerts and parties and inaugurating shops and giving his autographs. In one of the parties, he appears for some ribbon cutting ceremony, and kisses a beautiful girl standing there. I was expecting that when he unmasks himself, then I'd be seeing the face of Emraan Kiss-me, as a surprise element. But Emraan Kiss- me did not oblige his fans . He had this to say

"It was a nice presentation on Tobey's part. Kissing someone hanging upside down must be real fun. In bollywood movies, the kissing scene has been experimented with so many objects, even villains kissing the cameras lenses, or Sridevi kissing the glass slab in Mr. India, but not like this! Not even kamasutra mentions such an innovative pose. I appreciate myself for giving this role to Tobey boy"

Rakesh loathes the very idea of eating from someone's plate. He argues that it is "the saliva thing" which he detests. The same idea could be extended to kissing people too...

After this scene, the movie goes on the road forged by Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. Spidey fighting with villain, then spidey fighting another villain, then spidey fighting with his girl, he looked like Mayawati or Mamta Di fighting against the scum of the societies. Relations were broken, and to make the matter worse, some black symbiotic alien (who had an uncanny nature of making people acting like a buffoons- it made him react in a similar manner), who had an english name Venom (sounds like those WWE wrestlers), too finds shelter in the body of spiderman. Said my friend "Of all the people, the alien found Spidey!" Definitely, suppose if I want to join politics, then definitely I would be joining the party which is in power, not the one who keeps on throwing tantrums and keeps calling a truce. So that is why the Venom chose spidey, or perhaps, the kissing scene might have lured him, who knows.

Alien actor Venom vented his venom on the sets of Spiderman-

It was a shock for me. What i perceived as a kissing saga turned into a family story of Spiderman. My hopes were shattered in the starting itself, but the main shock was yet to come. He started singing and dancing, as if the former trauma was not enough. I could feel the silent laughter of spot boys at the scene, and my host body of Spidey looked comic, but what the heck!

The Climax (compare it with any hindi flick):
The heroine is tied up and is lying hapless on a giant cobweb (made by the Venom), held captive, and here comes Spiderman to rescue her. I had a strong urge for a song at that point- Spiderman dancing and singing so that the Venom doesn't kill the sweetheart.

In the end, there was a big fight, in which all the baddies of the movie had a congregation, and spidey served them sometimes in first-come-first-serve manner, and sometimes in parallel, until they united and thrashed him to pulp. Spidey had no option left now but to use the deadliest weapon he had... the power of music. What followed was the recitation of Symphony number 9 on Xylophone by the maestro. I wish mithun da was in the role, he would have played a classic number and danced too, as he did in Classic- The dance of love; i wish the movie was directed by director Karrion Jahar for a better family script, but alas- all wishes don't come true. As my anonymous friend doubts "How did the sandman (one of the villains) take his daily bath?". Who would have noted this point of personal hygiene in this otherwise clean movie?
