Makkhi - stereotypicality at its best

Life of a single software engineer can be very frustrating. It hurts when others get paid more for doing less and enjoy doing so. There is only one salvage out of this misery - to vent out the anger at someone else. For a long time Bollywood was my favourite punching bag. No matter what season it is, Bollywood keeps churning out crap after crap just to be thrown back into the bottomless pit of oblivion. Giving a chance to a viewer like me to vent our his anger, frustration, caused by his own inability to better his life, at these gems(some call them "movies")

An example of a "movie"(sarcasm intended)

For last few days Bollywood is acting like a scornful mistress. I took her for granted for too long so she punished me by hitting me where it hurts the most - my solace in watching bad movies.


Right in my "solace"

Barfi, OMG, KLPD, English Vinglish and now Aiyyaa have disappointed me in a good(or bad) way. Instead of giving me pure joy of being angry at someone, they gave me the joy of spending my money on something worth watching. And boy was I pissed by that...

I want crap god-dammit!

I was so hooked onto the bad movies that I was actually hoping to waste my hard earned money to watch crap. And finally my prayers were answered. Not by a Bollywood flick but by a Tollywood one! This movie was crappy on such an epic level that they dubbed it in Hindi and converted it into a Bollywood flick.

No, not this one!

The movie that I'm talking about is Makkhi. The movie so poorly named that it won my heart(and anger) right when I heard the name. It is so simplistically ridiculous that I decided to watch it right then and there. And boy was I happy to be super pissed at someone! The movie was hilariously bad. Talk about being stereotypical! You have your typical south Indian lover boy.


This boy in love is ready to do anything for his lady. Which involves defying laws of physics by creating a flood-light out of a tin foil and a dish antenna.

At least two physicist died of heart attack after watching this!

Then there is a typical cute and cuddly good girl.


And as an antagonist there is one "rowdy" villain with kick-ass moustache and a constant frown which gives an indication of his eternal constipation.


And to top it all you have got a protagonist. A house fly!!

That's right bitches, I'm here to kick some ass!


But this is no ordinary house fly. It is the human reincarnated into a fly's body which is after the villain for some sweet sweet revenge.

And may be for some open food!

There are some antique shenanigans involved like a housefly combing its hair to look bad ass.


A housefly communicating with a human using sign language.


A housefly wearing a gas mask to counter pesticides.

There is also a Rocky like montage where this housefly works out to be stronger and nimble. The workout routine involves fly through hurdles.


Running on a treadmill.


Working out like a boss using tungsten wires in an incandescent light bulb.


The end of this workout is insanely dramatic breaking of tungsten into pieces by sheer brute force.


The housefly gets prosthetic claws which would make even Wolverine jealous.


This housefly is so bad ass that it can wield weapon ten times its size and can give you nightmares for rest of your miserable life.


It can out fly even the wickedest looking sparrow in the world.

Angry birds my ass!

You can't even kill it with a bullet. Bullet can't touch him. Apparently this housefly is Neo from The Matrix and can dodge bullets in slow motion!



P.S. : Just two words - Thanks Bollywood! :-P
