I chanced upon an interview of someone called Sonal Sehgal, who’s acting in Radio. It seems she has a line there where she asks another female character – presumably about Himesh – “Are you fuck buddies?” (In theatres, look out for the line “Are you beeeep buddies?”)
Oh the horror, the sheer horror – and incredulity – of it all. Himesh? Fuck buddy?? WTF??? (What will we have next? Aamir as a student? Nah. Let’s not be ridiculous.)
Unless, of course, the film is inspired by that classic fairy-tale about the Princess and the Frog, with Himesh having landed the “before” part.
To be fair to Himesh, his self-belief and tenacity are admirable. He believes he is a ‘hero’, and it seems the universe has granted him his wish. Thrice. And why not, considering that Kishan Kumar was also granted his. Many times.

Kishan Kumar who? Don’t tell me you never heard that musical blockbuster, Kaccha Sila Diya Tune Mere Pyar Kaa! Enjoy!

Well correct usage of wtf man 🙂
December 3, 2009 at 2:22 pm
ROFL! Himesbhai must be using a lot of AXE deoin the movie to get elected as fuck buddy! Sheesh! What’s the world coming to
December 3, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Man you must always do film reviews !!! seriously !!! your reviews must be nominated to the most satirical post in the avant garde awards !!!!!
I will never forget the review of Dil Bole Hadippa !!!!!!!!! 😆
December 3, 2009 at 4:18 pm
ROFL! I haven’t actually seen Himesh in any movies but I have seen him and he does have a very wimpy feel about him Like Kishan Kumar. And oh…that song brought back horrible memories!!! 😛 It was one of those terrible songs that kinda got stuck in your head once you heard it for a day…and it would loop all over…sort of equivalent to torture! 😛

Oh Gawd…he must have paid her millions of $ and £ to even say such a thing. But seriously, the guy has a lot of self-confidence. With his makeover, he does look more a human being now, but still, cannot think of him as a hero. A side-kick, probably.
And thanks for that video on Kacha Sila Diya…brought a huge smile 🙂
December 3, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Pal, I don’t think he looks more human with his new hair – he looks as repulsive as ever!
December 3, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Yuck! Just the thought of someone wanting to fuck Himesh is repulsive…
December 3, 2009 at 6:36 pm
ROFL !! 😆 !!!!!!
this is getting personal !!!! 😆
December 4, 2009 at 2:11 am
Bones, Hahahahaha……
That was classic!
December 5, 2009 at 10:22 am
Bones – u did think about it??? Double Yuck !!!
December 3, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Hehe…. I saw that long ago in promos… and trust me for the first two days it was shown without beep…. yes on out television without beep….
Btw, Himesh as Fuck Buddy….Muhahahah,,,
I pity the pretty one… she is pretty
December 4, 2009 at 1:16 am
Oh c’mon! You’re being so unfair – the guy has hair on his head now a no polyps in his nose. What more do you want him to do? 😀
December 4, 2009 at 2:14 am
Kishan Kumar gave hope to every aira-gaira who dreamed about starring in a movie some day.
😆
KK and HR could be beep buddies. Dostani.
December 4, 2009 at 2:19 am
LOL! Himesh Reshamiya as somebody’s fuck buddy! Talk about stretching people’s imaginations !

The *beeping* any one should do that concerns HR should involve his happiness instead of him.
December 4, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Grin! I love your movie reviews!!! :)as for himesh… well.. its amazing how one person can call a single expression – Acting!!!
December 4, 2009 at 5:13 pm
QI: I am surprised nobody noticed your (disturbing imagery though!) mangling of the Kishan Kumar song. 🙂
December 5, 2009 at 5:53 am
kya yaad dilaya yaar. Kishan Kumar was our favourite in our college days….hahaha
He was so bad that he was awesome. With Gulshan Kumar, they made an terrific brother gang. lol.
December 5, 2009 at 10:36 am
What’s next? KRK has a stud. No?
I think Himesh is really giving it back to all of us… “You think I’m not hero material – Take this, I’m a Fuck Buddy :D”
Btw, I heard Mallika Sherawat refused to have a smooch scene in his last movie! I guess, he would’ve taken Mallika in the movie only for that reason and he would’ve been mighty disappointed 😀
December 5, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Thank you for putting things in perspective! One does tend to bury horrible experience of the past (like Kishen Kumar). For those who had doubts such as “What could be worse than HR?” – Well you could have HR singing(?) vocals while Kishen Kumar emotes (?)
December 5, 2009 at 7:50 pm
NOTHING but NOTHING can beat Altaf Raja. He’s a class apart. His singing, his shayari recitation, his music videos..aha!
December 5, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Ek namoona. 😛

Oh C’mon QI, cut the girl some slack, willya? I’m sure she was as aghast as you are. The line was probably meant to read “You’re… F**k!! BUDDIES?????” Believe me, with Himmes in context, even that is as much of a horror.

December 7, 2009 at 11:14 am
🙂 “…with Himesh having landed the “before” part.” that was classic!! 😆
December 8, 2009 at 3:02 pm
LOL
I thought they’d rather use a more sedate terminology…like “Friendship with Privileges”. Atleast it won’t sound repulsive.
December 8, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Kaccha sila diya?? ROFL!!!
BTW don’t you say anything to Himessss Chamiya!!! Have you not seen full page ads in Mumbai Mirror talking about how great the movie errr Himesss was in it?? Target audience and some more amrketing bull shit they are giving when they are themselves are buying teh tickets 😀
December 11, 2009 at 1:42 pm
@Chirag: Welcome back! Yes, it is the correct usage, because the moment I read it, I went “WTF?”.. 🙂
@Ritu: You think Axe would help in this particular case? 😉
@Dhiren: Thank you! Glad you liked it. 🙂
@PsychBabbler: You’re right, the wimpy feel is another thing they both have in common. And this song does get stuck in one’s head!
@Pal: Money can do strange stuff! Side-kick? You’re too nice a person, Pal!
@Bones: Ha ha ha….yes, that’s true! 🙂
@Vee: Shown on TV without a beep? WTF? So ‘fuck buddies’ on TV is ok, but “you bastard” is beeped out? WTF? Any plans of watching the film? 🙂
@D: Unfair? Unfair? Really? What more do I want him to do? How about ‘retire’? 😉
@Solilo: Dostani? Classic. 🙂 With those two, one can’t even call it Dostana!
@Smitha: Talk about giving people nightmares!
@Che: You keep disappearing, don’t you? Yes, beeping his happiness is a better idea. 🙂
December 11, 2009 at 2:00 pm
@GypsyGirl: Good to see you back. And thanks!
@Shefaly: I couldn’t resist that particular mangling :-)….there were some very, err, different, parodies of that song during my hostel days….this was one of the more ‘acceptable’ lines – the imagery gets progressively worse!
@Liju: “he was so bad he was awesome”….ha ha ha, that’s a good one. 🙂
@Rakesh: KRK as a stud? Dude, KRK is a stud! Didn’t you watch that awesome movie of his? 😉
@Dreamer: I think the answer to “What could be worse…” could be Kishen Kumar singing and HR trying to romance Vidya Balan! 🙂
@Anita: Damn, you have brought back long-forgotten memories. Yes, Altaf Raja! Thanks for the video! How could we forget “Tum to thehre pardesi….” or “Yaaro maine panga lay liya”! 🙂
@Manish: Thanks… 🙂
@Gauri: Very insightful! Just sharing the same space with Himesh would have led to multiple neuroses! 🙂
@Sakhi: Thanks! In all modesty, I have to agree with you! 🙂
@Masood: Welcome here! C’mon dude…”Are you friends with privileges” or “Does your friendship come with privileges?” doesn’t inspire the same horror! 😉
@Smita: ‘Kaccha sila diya’ pe pura ek gaana thaa hostel main! Himess Chamiya? ROFL! Love the name. Yes, I heard he was buying tickets for his own film! 🙂
December 12, 2009 at 12:46 am
At this rate soon the word B-e-e-p -not the words that are beeped but the word ‘BEEP’- will be banned 🙂
