Quickie Review: When the map of India and Pakistan was being drawn during the partition in 1947, the small border village of Paglapur was omitted when its asylum inmates broke loose and drove the townspeople away. The inmates established their own independent "republic" which remained largely unknown to the rest of the world for the last 60+ years, without electricity and other such conveniences taken for granted by everyone else in the modern world.
Agastya ( Akshay Kumar ), a scientist of Indian origin, working on an extra-terrestrial communication device, goes back to Paglapur with his wife, Diva ( Sonakshi Sinha ), when he receives word that his father is dying. Agastya soon finds out that his father isn't dying, that it was just a ruse to get him back to help the villagers get help from the outside world.
But no one wants to help out the isolated villagers until Agastya devices a "UFO-themed" plan to put Paglapur on the World Map once and for all.
I went to see this yesterday, Monday, September 3rd, 2012, at the UA Emery Bay Stadium 10 in Emeryville, CA, for the 9:50 p.m. show in auditorium 4, 6th row, 12th column.
The "Joker" in this movie refers to the isolated asylum village, in a similar way that a non-colored Joker in a deck of cards doesn't belong to any color. In other words, the village is not claimed by any neighboring color, i.e. flag/country.
In the audience of less than a dozen people, some people seemed to enjoy this movie.
I didn't like it that much. It was silly and preposterous. You might want to wait for this to come out as a DVD rental.
Here are some things that didn't make sense in this movie: How could people in that asylum village learn to do a well-choreographed Song-and-Dance number? Why was it that only one person could tell that the aliens were a fake? How come those soldiers and agents couldn't hit their targets at all? And the real alien in this movie was shown butt-naked! ( Why, oh why, oh why, oh why ...? Sigh .... )
You might be interested in watching this documentary on YouTube, instead: Crop Circles: Mysteries of the Fields.
Here are three very intricate crop circle formations that I found on the Internet:
If any hoaxers out there can make any one of the above-shown designs in the course of just four hours in the middle of the night, then I'll believe that Crop Circles/Formations are ALL FAKE, i.e. not alien but of human origin.
"Bolly, bolly wood. Good, good!" ( gibberish )
