ASMM - The Biggest Spoof Flick Ever In Bollywood?

By Joginder Tuteja

Think about the movie series coming from 'Austin Powers', 'Hot Shots', 'Mr. Bean' & 'Scary Movie' and there is one common

thread running amongst each of these - they are all Hollywood spoofs. This means that there are numerous moments from some

popular Hollywood films that have been incorporated in a funny way in the films as mentioned above.

In comparison Bollywood films too come with their dose of such spoofs, though they are far and few. But one watch of this week's

'Apna Sapna Money Money' and you end up wondering if it is the BIGGEST EVER mainstream Bollywood film spoof that

you may have ever seen? Though the storyline per se is not spoofy by any means, there are at least a dozen odd references to

different Bollywood/Hollywood films and some real life references in this two and a half hour flick.

HERO

The stage is set at the very onset of the film when bankrupt underworld don Carlos Jackie Shroff, in an attempt to regain his lost

glory, arranges for the smuggling of '50 crore ke heere'. The code word for that operation - 'Ding Dong O Baby Sing A Song'. A

spoof indeed since that's the title song of Jackie Shroff's first superhit film - HERO. Another common factor is that both HERO

and ASMM are Subhash Ghai productions.

KISNA

Riteish Deshmukh is called Kishan in the film. Fair enough. But what takes the cake is his introduction scene when the Nepali gang

of Ranaji Chunkey Pandey is searching for him. The song that runs in the background? Sukhwinder Singh's 'Wo Kisna Hai' from

the film 'Kisna'. Unfortunately the song never got its due when released but now has been revived to appear as a background piece

for more than a couple of occasions whenever Riteish is on frame. Just like HERO, KISNA too was a Subhash Ghai film.

SARKAR

By now everyone is aware that Rajpal Yadav, a 'tabela' owner, does an impersonation a la Amitabh Bachchan in 'Sarkar'. With a

false beard and wig to boost, he dons the same 'chola' as the Big B and adapts the same mannerisms as him. Not just this, he also

rents the DVD player and a 'Sarkar' DVD number of times to get 'inspired' from his idol and watches the same film multiple times.

A true blue spoof indeed with the spice added on by the background theme of 'Tabela Tabela', an obvious reference to 'Govinda

Govinda' in Ram Gopal Verma's 'Godfather' adaptation.

MEET THE FOCKERS

All those who have seen Robert De Niro-Ben Stiller starrer 'Meet The Fockers' would never forget the 'Circle Of Trust' theory. In

this hilarious flick, middle aged Robert De Niro takes his own time to make someone as a part of his 'circle of trust' and once you

are in, it would be highly disappointing to break it away. The same theory is adopted by Don Carlos Jackie Shroff as he includes

handpicked men and women though all of them turning out to be utterly useless! into his gang and presents them a designer ring

as a token for an entry in his circle of trust!

DILWALE DULHANIYA LE JAYENGE

Who can ever forget the theme music of eternal hit 'Tujhe Dekha To Ye Jaana Sanam' from

10-years-and-still-running-strong-DDLJ? Even Anupam Kher doesn't forget this over the years as he 'falls in love' with Riteish

Deshmukh a.k.a. Sania! The theme tune plays in the background and the half-blind Kher is all mooney eyed just with the very

thought of having found his soul mate. Jai jai Chopras.....yet again!

CHANDNI

It's time to pay homage to the Chopras again, this time through Ria Sen. When asked to sing a song before her perspective

father-in-law Sarju Maharaj Banaras Waale Riteish Deshmukh in an impersonation avtar again, she makes full use of the situation

and impromptu gets into the number 'Main Sasural Nahin Jaayungi' from the film 'Chandni'. In order to shoo away all the 'rishtas'

coming her way, she even does a cute rap version of the song to make for a funny sight indeed!

SUBHASH GHAI

There is an ego boosting of sorts when a mention of Subhash Ghai comes towards the middle of the film. Elated at an offer from

Carlos to join the gang, Rajpal Yadav cannot help but jump with joy. On asked by 'Laughter Challenge' winner Sunil Pal to explain

the reason for the same, he says that every gangster waits for that one big chance to work with Carlos just like film stars look

forward to being a part of a Subhash Ghai film at least once in their career! Hmmm...interesting!

SANIA MIRZA

While Celina Jaitley is called 'Sania Badnaam' by all her friends and enemies, guess how does Riteish Deshmukh's character in a

drag gets this name? Simple! On being asked for his name, he simply looks around for solutions and on spotting a Sania Mirza

poster pasted on a wall, he mouths 'SANIA'. That's about it! And from here life was never going to be same again for all the

characters in the film as they try to get out of this double trouble of two Sanias!

ARADHANA

This spoof forms one of the most entertaining moments of the film. In addition to the 'guitars' and the 'sitars' that play in Anupam

Kher's heart and soul whenever he meets his lady love, he also mouths the theme music from Rajesh Khanns'a superhit number

from 'Aradhana' - 'Kora Kaagaz Tha Ye Mann Mera'. And he does not do it just once but a multiple number of times with body

language and mannerisms to match - truly a feat which only Anupam Kher can achieve!

MANGAL PANDEY

In the climax, the pundit who is roped in do facilitate the 'saat pheras' of Kher-Riteish and Shreyas-Ria is quite a ferocious one.

And why not? After all he comes with a strong Aamir Khan hangover as in 'Mangal Pandey', what with a 'dhoti', hairdo and that

deadly moustache to match. This is not all! When the fight breaks out with the entire world going mad, he is the first one to

proclaim - HALLA BOL!

DILIP KUMAR

A poignant moment comes in Anupam Kher's life yes, even this is presented in a hilarious manner! when he finds out that the

'she' in his life is actually a 'he' i.e. his Sania is actually Kishan. And what better away to express his anguish than to get into the

body of Dilip Kumar. He applies the same mannerisms and mouths the dialogues in the thespian's inimitable style, even when the

world around him is mocking at the sad turn of events in his life!

ASH & VIVEK LOVE STORY

Though this sequence comes quite earlier in the film, we choose to reserve the best till the end! When Celina Jaitley in her semi

clad avtar is traveling in the compartment of a train, she is lying down while reading FILMFARE that has Aishwarya Rai on its

cover. Not to loose a moment, Riteish who incidentally enters the same compartment is quick to comment - "Kya Ash Bade Vivek

Se Baithi Ho?"

This makes it at least 12 references and we are sure that there may have been more than just these. Write in if you have some

more to share.......
