10 Things We Love About Movies But Hate To Admit

We are so smitten by the idea of flaunting our so-called fine-movie-criticizing-skills that we begin faking our choices to an extent of mocking them in front of others! Here are 10 such things we may admire behind closed doors, but have a debate on them in open, and we definitely will speak against the motion!

Hot Bedroom Romance

Ah! This one is too 'good' to be talked about in open! You surely play, pause, replay, replay and replay such intimate scenes, loaded with spice and sizzle when no one is around! But the moment your dad or mom or a sibling or your spouse enters the room, you act as if you were just surfing the channels!

Predictable Storylines

You don't like experimenting even with your food, let alone the film plots! But as an old habit, you definitely want to sound intelligent and act as a sharp critic in front of your buddies! Hence, you show off about your love for experimental cinema, whereas deep down, you simply take delight in making bang-on guesses as to what's going to happen in the very next scene.

Singing And Dancing Around The Trees

You always ensure to mock all the heroines running around the trees in chiffon sarees, and the heroes stylishly riding their superbikes! But only your heart knows how much you want to do the same! Who would play logic-logic when you are getting to romance on some really exotic locations, wearing the biggest fashion labels?

Senseless Lyrics

You have a password protected secret folder in your smartphone that has all the ridiculous songs in it! From Main Laila Laila Chillaunga and Sarkai Lio Khatiya Jada Lage to Saree Ke Fall Sa and Tera Pyar Pyar Pyar Hukka Bar – you have it all! But when a friend asks you to show him the path to your music collection, you proudly open the folder packed with Jagjit Singh ghazals and old Hindi classics!

Old Family Movies

You secretly love a certain old Hindi film (could be a black and white one) that is heavily into Indian values and ethics, but when asked to pick your favourite flick, all you blurt out are the glitzy and glossy names (that may not even make sense)! Reason – you don't want to sound out-dated!

Crying Over Emotional Scenes

Okay, girls do cry during emotional scenes – that's nothing new! But we have very little idea that even guys have moist or teary eyes when a Rajesh Khanna dies in the climax or a Kamal Haasan turns crazy when his lady love doesn't recognise him! It's just that their ego is much bigger than their emotions.

Cheesy Dialogues

Believe it or not, but some so-called ridiculous dialogues do give you goosebumps, which you very conveniently don't admit to! These lines may sound all cheesy and crappy to others, but you certainly have a thing for them! And practice them behind closed doors! Caught You!

Bad Acting Loses Out To Good Looks

Our industry is loaded with gorgeous faces and super-toned hot-bods whose credentials end just there! They never come to terms with acting – they either overdo it or underdo it! Now you, as the 'phoney and the flaunting first-rate movie critic', criticize those lovely ladies and handsome hunks for always putting up a 'wooden, expressionless show'! But four pegs down, you begin confessing how much you are in love with this non-talented lot, and don't mind if they disappoint a certain section!

The Mother With A Sixth Sense

There's no denying that the Bollywood maa indeed has some divine powers. She can sense that her son is not well or he is standing right on the door all set to ring the bell or there's some evil force against him. Against all the claims that you find it all super hilarious and that such things have no chance to exist, you secretly admire the antics! You either want your mother to possess those superpowers or want to be like one yourself!

Unrealistic So-Called Sacrifices
Yes, you always want to win the debate with your friends that certain Bollywood sacrifices are just uncalled for! You strongly put your points across, making fun of those 'good for nothing twists', and mostly end up convincing the opposition! But in your heart, you simply love it when Salman Khan lets Kajol marry her college buddy exactly on the day he was supposed to tie the knot with her! The reality be damned!
