Bollywood in the 70s-80s

I am a big time Hindi movie fan. And I grew up watching the movies of 70s and 80s and I love the way things were so plain and simple in those days... wonder why we even try "realistic cinema" today? By being "real" the directors are depriving us of the fun of that bygone era... here is my tribute to that era.

Problem of a Grandmother:

I am a proud grandmother of a handsome boy who is now living in the city. I want him to come back to our village and fall in love with this girl. But he refuses. How do I get him to come back to the village?


Bolly answers:
 
A simple telegram that says “Grandmother serious. Start immediately.” will do the trick. When he comes back expresses shock upon finding you in the pink of health, let out a hallow guffaw and tell him “I will not die until I play with my great-grand children.” The girl you mentioned will take care of falling in love part, with brass innuendos and slutty songs.


Hero wants to disguise. What should he do?

Bolly answers:

A completely unrecognizable disguise can be worn by simply wearing black sunglasses and a slightly different hairstyle. Not even your mom will be able to recognize you. But be warned! Lowering the glasses on to the nose and looking over them and winking has been proven to let your girlfriend identify you immediately.


Remedy for snake-bites:

Oh my God! A snake bit my girlfriend. What do I do now???

Bolly answers:

Fret not. Snakes can not only inject venom into human bodies, but they can suck the venom out as well, just like sucking juice out of a juice box. The trick is to make a compelling argument to the snake to take the venom back. This can be achieved by climbing up on a hill and singling a melancholy filled song. When you sing the song, the snake has two options to make you stop singing. It can bite you and take you down. Or it can take the venom back from your girlfriend. Stay as far away from your girlfriend as possible, because, then the snake would take the quickest way to put an end to your song and suck the venom back.


Problem of a boy friend:

My girlfriend is in a girls-only hostel. I want to get into the hostel and meet her. How can I do that?


Bolly answers:

One of the original intentions of burqa is to help men get into women’s hostels. Do not worry if you are a 6-footer or have hairy legs and hands showing through the burqa. Nobody will notice it. Strategically placed balloons (sold separately) are known to enhance the effect.


Hero's sister's problem:

I am a pretty girl and a sister to a handsome, hero-like, guy. Astrologically, what birthstone should I be wearing to get married soon?



Bolly answers:
 
It doesn’t matter what birthstone you wear, you will soon be raped. The rapist will refuse to marry you until your brother makes him see the error in his ways, by beating him into a pulp. So the answer to your question is, you will be married soon. So be happy.


Remedy to automobile problems:

My car stopped all of a sudden on a rural road. How do I fix it?


Bolly answers:
 
There is only one solution any kind of car problem. Pour water in the radiator. Grab the empty can from the trunk, which never fails to be present, and walk in a random direction until you chance up on a lake and a pretty girl taking water from it.


Problem of accident-prone heroes:

I just had a serious accident and am unconscious. Will I recover?


Bolly answers:
 
People seldom die from accidents. No matter how you are hurt or what bones are broken, what you immediately need is an operation. The doctor will tell your family exactly how much the operation will cost, which, in most cases, is 1 lakh (100,000) rupees. Don’t worry. Stay peacefully unconscious. You will soon wake up with a bandage to your head and rest of the body unscathed. Please remember that it is good etiquette to ask, “Where am I” upon waking up.


Hygeine and bathing solutions:

I am a pretty and young girl. What is the proper way of taking a shower?


Bolly answers:
 
Even in utmost privacy, you must wrap your torso in a sari or towel while taking a shower and soap only uncovered parts. Dont worry about your hygeine, that will be taken care of.


Childhood problems:

I am a five year old boy and talk like a 16 year old. I want a baby brother or sister. How do I get one?


Bolly answers:
 
I am sorry that you are slow in development. 5 year old boys should be talking like 19 year olds. In any case, you might try an advanced technique to achieve your means. You start by asking your mom and dad to kiss you on either cheek. While their faces are in forward motion, with lips extended like suction cups, you slide your head out of the way. Completely oblivious of this change, your parents will continue the forward motion like two brain-dead zombies, to meet in the middle, causing a kiss to happen. A kiss on the lips is known to spontaneously produce a baby.


But whatever be said and done, I loved Hindi movies of 70s and 80s...they will always remain special to me.
