om darbadar

dev d decided to play homage to the scene in the film where it is least off kilter. the brass band song at a shaadi complete with late 80’s disco beeps. this is a film beyond description where words just cannot begin to capture the madness of ambition and flair. from the ‘bablu babylon se’ song to the frogs being dissected for the diamonds inside them, to the promise toothpastes plug to the conversations with atlas cycle who follows om around. fantastic. george said it was ‘the film’ as far as he was concerned and i am tempted to agree. just don’t ask me what the film was about.

I agree it is -well not THE movie- but it is the motherlode of all movies, and channel V and the whole lot. What I love about it is how unaffected it is and that it's not too ironic, just calmly crazy.

Not that I've seen Dev D so not suggesting that's the opposite or anything.
