Null Hypothesis: RGV needs to take a break
Statistical Evidence: Road .. "Darrrrrr"naaaaa manaaa hai .. James phew .. Nishabd
Confidence Level: 100%
Conclusion : Null Hypothesis holds true
In case you have started wondering what am I talking about, the whole idea is to illustrate the point that how does one feel when something turns out to be how its not supposed to. So if you read a review/critique like the one above how would you reckon me as? Dumb right? Now imagine how would you describe a person who takes the best of ingredients and serves the worst of dishes? Plane dumb right? That is how I felt when I came out of the theatre after watching Nishabd. Literally at loss of words, wondering why the hell did I chose this movie to cap my wonderful weekend (we had decided to maximize the utility of whatever time remained after our trip to Nasik).
The movie is a classic example of how one can make a hash of a good subject. Whether its due to the doubt of Indian audience's palatibility or a lack of understanding on his own part, RGV just doesn't get it right. Off course the movie has its brilliant moments, from cinematographic viewpoint and Big B's acting (esp during his hysterical laugh scene). But such moments are just few. Nothing to write home about. If the inclusion of Jiah Khan was to give it a touch of skin flick, well for one she ain't sexy at all and two she can't act !! Plain dead pan expression being worn through out, she looks like a dumb doll !! The rest of the cast is just lost and you don't know what they are doing. So by the time you wake up from the sleep the movie is over and you haven't even heard the song so beautifully sung.
To summarise, we used to hear a story when we were kids "Ek tha raja, ek thi rani, dono mar gaye khatam kahani" and this one goes like "ek tha buddha, ek thi ladki, ladki bhaag gayi, budhha mara nahi".
On a final note:
Null Hypothesis 2: Is RGV a type two error ?
Statistics: Whomsoever reads this, give it to me
Conclusion: Inconclusive
P.S: Puritans of statistics/Engineers/MBA's don't fret over the liberal use of statistical terminology.
