A Still from Bunty Aur Babli |
Their escapades play out against backdrops as varied as the Taj Mahal, the banks of the Ganges, the saffrons of Benaras, the browns of Kanpur and Lucknow, the whites of Mussoorie, the tinkling bells of Rishikesh and Hardwar, the skies of Delhi and all across the vein like network of the Great Indian railways and highways.
Every mundane reality in every dusty corner of India is flushed out of its slumber by a splash of "Bunty aur Babli" excitement in this, the tale of two dreamers that blaze the sky like comets. But do not die. Like all good comets they promise to reappear again. And they do. And how they do all of that is, seriously, the stuff legends are made of.
Dashrath Singh (Amitabh Bachchan) is the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch. Currently he has exactly four passions bidis, channa, Bunty and Babli. But getting hands on Bunty and Babli proves to be the biggest challenge of his 30-year old career. |
