In today’s episode of vintage Bollywood tripping on hard drugs, we have this clip from an Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty starrer movie whose name I’m not going to bother to find out.
You know what, just watch the clip to feel my pain:
Exactly why I still have cable in my house! pic.twitter.com/XbzeLT3Gzu

A distraught Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty try to save their grieving baby sis from falling off the roof. Their best line of defence? “Sta-chooooooo!”
The amount of brainpower this move would take is beyond the realm of our consciousness.
Everyone is fawning over the “Statue!” but can we talk about the slipping rakhi? How did it not rip to shreds? Kuch toh subtlety dikhaao Bollywood.
Twitterati is like “Kya yaar, kuch bhi?”
Well, she did play statue in the end!

For a moment I expected “statue” spell will work.

“Statue” ke bad “Police will catch you” bhi bolna padta hai

Is it bad that I thought the spell was actually gonna work? 😆 https://t.co/1rwEKgrYuj

South Indian movie hoti toh behen beech mein statue hoti aur marne se bach jaati. Bhai behen ka pyaar is khokhla in Bollywood. She didn’t even stop. https://t.co/xYrR1h5K7E

…And there’s this dude who completely missed the joke. Don’t be like him:
People making fun of that statue thing… Please watch the full film… You will realise this family keeps on playing 'statue statue' during the entire film. This was out of desperation to save their sister, despite knowing the reality. https://t.co/CBEWKq14dW

I want to say Bollywood has come a long way since, …but has it though?
