Gantumoote

Watched Gantumoote. It's set in my generation but I guess many of that era will wonder which utopia the movie belongs to; where high school students can make out with such freedom. Bangalore may have been, I don't know. I'll never forget that I was made to feel like a sinner for poking M's back and trying to catch his attention in 1st grade.

But Salman Khan was a heartthrob even in a place like mine. He was in many girls' notebooks those days, charming them with his sparkling eyes. I wasn't the type, though. Of course keeping heroes anywhere near me was disastrous at home but I was more interested in tennis and cricket players anyway. Sampras and Dravid ruled the roost in my study room.

But then, why is it that the girl is always considered a guy's weekness? The hero feels that way when things go wrong. I mean, that feeling is everywhere. Look at Kohli Or Nadal recently; nobody asks them if they are doing better because they got married. The wife or the partner is only a burden that their talent should manage and do well despite.

And yeah, the boy(hero) stops the girl from biting her nails, saying it's a bad habit, early on in their encounters. But after that, goes on a biting spree himself. May be it was indicative of something but I couldn't figure that.
