Evolution

Evolution

The other day, me and my friends were sitting in a café and discussing about various things and suddenly somebody came up with the term EVOLUTION. That led the discussion to how human being evolved and that we got our backs straightened, our thumbs got closer to index finger, our brains got smarter, etc. Then we discussed about movie Evolution and Hollywood movies in general. Then came the inevitable comparison of Hollywood and Bollywood and how they themselves have evolved with time. This like India v/s Pakistan is discussed with great passion and excitement. The group is always divided into Bollywood lovers and Hollywood fanatics. But then someone mentioned the persona of the Hollywood Heroes and how they were so different from their Bollywood counterparts. The discussion as usual couldn’t reach to a consensus.

I went back home and couldn’t stop comparing Indian movie stars amongst themselves. Then I remembered the term EVOLUTION. Some actors seem to have evolved with time while the rest still play safe by doing roles they are good at vouching for commercial success. Amir Khan, at the start of the career, did run around tress singing songs, trying to woo the heroines, but he evolved with time and knows his responsibility. Now he does films with a message, roles that have substance. On the other hand, Sharukh Khan still doesn’t want to come out of the Yash Raj and Yash Johar banner. He will continue doing the same roles with different heroines. The biggest surprise was lack of evolution of Amitabh Bachchan. Everyone thought that after KBC and tens of films and hundreds of advertisements, His debts would have been cleared. He also has a working wife, son & daughter-in-law. But He is still ready to do the pathetic advts. I think He’s failed to evolve with time. Hope he doesn’t loose the hard-earned respect and love of so many of His fans.
