Kunal Kohli must be struck down upon with great vengeance.<\/p>\n
Not because Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic<\/em> mixes Hindi, Urdu and<\/em> English words into the title. I actually approve of that.<\/p>\n Not because it’s a ripoff of Mary Poppins<\/em>. After all, you can’t expect better from a man who’s already ripped off When Harry Met Sally<\/em> and The Truth About Cats and Dogs<\/em>.<\/p>\n Not even because the sardar kid in the movie looks like an aspiring suicide bomber in the posters. Yes, looking at his surly gaze can put you off lunch, but I suppose it’s not really his fault or even Kohli’s.<\/p>\n No, the reason Kunal Kohli must be viciously and brutally attacked is that in the process of ripping of Mary Poppins<\/em>, he has replaced the nanny’s magic umbrella with a magic bicycle. This is nothing but a slap in the face of the good, decent, lower to middle-middle class folks in Mumbai for whom an umbrella is their only defence in the monsoons – unlike poncy git filmmakers with chauffeur driven cars.<\/p>\n A violent assault on Kunal Kohli represents the highest form of class warfare. To the barricades, comrades!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kunal Kohli must be struck down upon with great vengeance.
