Okay. It now stands undisputed. Bhojpuri makes everything sound fun(ny). Yes. Even a blood-fest like Kill Bill seems like a laugh riot when in the company of Minimal Bollywood Posters, who put up these
on their official Facebook page. There I was thinking
Phatphatiya Pe Bhootwa (Ghost Rider, in Bhojpuri) was the funniest poster I had ever seen, but these take not just the cake but the entire bakery shop.
1. When Harry Met Sally: That cult rom-com starring the adorable Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, which can make even the most hardcore mush-hater shed a tiny tear of joy.
2. Inception: That 'mind'-boggling world of dreams inside dreams inside dreams inside dreams. For those of you who didn't understand the profound world that is this film, pray that you can lay our hands on a Bhojpuri-dubbed version. You may not understand it any better in Bhojpuri, but at least the film will be much more enjoyable this time.
3. Man of Steel: Did you leave theatres thinking that this film lacked..umm.. something? We did too. And we think, this was it. Lolmax at
'Ganja rahela bigdal sahejada' (The bald man is a spoiled prince). Gold!
4. Scream: Remember screaming in horror at the omnipresent ghost in Scream? Yeah. As the guys at MBP put it, it was because: '
Taake rahela toke saanjh savere' (The big bad ghost stares at you day and night).
Just in case you were confused about who was peeping. So much clarity in these posters. So much.
5. Silence of the Lambs: Did this film send shivers down your spine? Did you smother your screams whenever Jodie Foster came close to Anthony Hopkins? Now take a look at the film's Bhojpuri poster. This film will never be the same again.
6. Avatar: Ladies and gentlemen. Boys and girls. Jake Sully would have you all know that his heart beats for the blue doll (
neeli gudiya). Enough said.
Saare bolo Pandora
Maiyya ki jai. 7.Catch Me If You Can: Another classic which you will never be able to watch with a straight face again. Tom plays Tom and Leo plays Jerry according to MBP. Slow clap for these chaps, please.
8. Hangover: Aaah. They missed the mark here. Maybe if the film had been a little less funny, the poster would have seemed funnier. Oh well. Doesn't matter.
9. Sex and the City: Jaawani maare tees ( Thirty yet flirty. Okay there can be no literal translation of this). The poster is definitely much more fun than the film was!
10. Taken: '
O sasuraa, bitiya le lai. Liam Neesonwa
ab unki le lai.' SOMEONE GIVE THESE GUYS THE OSCARS.
11. Kill Bill: The best for the last. Uma
bhauji, if the movie hadn't done it yet, you've now been immortalized forever.
Maar Billwa ke bhauji, maaaaar!
