Kung Fuie!!

Thank God it is the last day of the election and the whole of India is watching the counting of the ballots—because if I had to sit through another terrible Telugu movie I might fall into a self-induced coma. I am not kidding- they really are terrible. Let me rant for a second on why I hate Telugu movies and at the same time give you an understanding of why I feel my brain will liquefy if I watch one more minute.

Ever movie involves one of two plots: lovers who’s parents do not want them together or some woman in distress being rescued by some man and on the rare occasion there might be a combo of the two. But which ever plot the movie goes with one thing is for sure the main character will suddenly have the ability of a superhuman kung fu master. The choreography of these fight scenes are just ridiculous—I literally saw the hero get knocked down (finally) while fighting a gang of men. As he is laying on the ground the gang charges to stomp on him in unison but the hero is able to hold each foot ( about 6 in total) at one time. He struggles as the gang members “push down hard” with their “captured” feet but the hero gains strength and pushes back with such for force that the whole gang goes flying thru the air. Sounds bad, huh!? Well, it gets worse! They use these horribly cheesy 1980’s electronica sound effects with every blow, movement, or effect that occurs. It becomes the most bizarrely deafening noise and I can’t stand another second of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
