A desi Freaky Friday experience

On this Eid. ARY Digital has come up with an interesting comedy long-play.
Title: Yeh kiya hu gaya hai

The drama was an inspiration from the oldie remake teen classic “Freaky Friday”. The latest version of the said movie has been released a year ago and studded with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis –title characters of Mom and daughter whose bodies interchanged—well the movie is excellent with a superb soundtrack!!

And ARY’s comic parody of the movie was like creating a total ‘rumple crumple’ of the movie…though the direction was quite OK with got sound and lightening but the dialogues, dressing and actions were really really pathetic.

Jamie’s role was played by Bushra Ansari who sometimes acted like she has a strong desire to become a punk teenager. Her overacting and rubbish English parody of Jamie totally turned Jamies’s semi-charismatic personality a big blow. Though half of the movie has a demand of that sort of character but BA overacted throughout.

The scenes which had been very nicely picturised in the original version while Jamie was taking a ride on the heavy bike of her daughter’s boy friend was shown in a very idiotic way in ARY version. In which Ms. Ansari rode while waving her legs like she is flying on an eagle……this was all because of Ansari’s overacting…whenever she try to act punk and looses the connection of her real self she become really *flat*

But yes the role Lindsay was played by “don’t remember her name” --the all times jeans clad lady famous from Kollege Jeans and one can found her on new Ufone billboards—but well with her natural punk appearance she performed really well and even better than Bushra Ansari.

Bottomline: such parodies are healthy addition…well Indians are also parodying in lump sum quantity— almost all their mega hits are Hollywood copied items—but a serious advice for ARY and Lollywood “Naqal karu par aqall sai” that’s it!!
