Masala Padam

Producer produces for the mass people, critics criticise the mass -masala movies When a producer confronts the ridicule of a critic with a challenge,

Can a rational person :(self proclaimed critic): create ruckus and write a screenplay for a mass masala flick? 

A supposed blogger and a critic takes up the challenge.

There's a journalist with a travel blog supposedly beautiful who's hand picked by the bunch of critics to explore real life situations, to write a script that has all the masala elements of a hit movie .

She's chosen for the pivotal role of the triangular love story, just that there are three guys who are enticed by her . She's just playing them to get a real

Life story for a script. When she realises her mistake,the end, happens to the script.

What are the elements of a masala movie at play in real life with three different men with love for an eye candy? 

The a la carte menu;

Humour (shiva), Romance( newcomer) and Criminality/Action (Bobby Simha)

Now add to that the ajinomoto of love and you're served an exquisite meal of masala Padam. 

Bobby Simha, the criminal,sizzles even when he swerves the dagger with flair in unnerving moments. His prolonged cameo has a lot of depth. Just as he is about to confess his love, he's shot, he goes down when his life's looking up, while heart craves to live and love, 

One last glance at her, as she's rectified of her act, confronted with a fact. 

She was about to bail on him, he graciously leaves, silenced by fate. 

Shiva's presence offers hilarious perfectly timed one liners

Criminality achieves salvation as death helps, for he leaves having loved.

Pragmatism sinks into the middle class humour (shiva) as he settles for mediocrity on the realisation that he's punching above his weight.

Achievement vitiates the heart with the romance of a flirt (newbie)

All the three have gained but she's lost. 

The critics bail out on the challenge as they explain to the producer what sorrow had befallen them. The producer ties the elements of humour, criminality and romance from the critics story with the knot of love and makes a masala potboiler that becomes a super hit.

Watch Masala Padam that derives logic to the stereotypical producers mantra of commercial masala and substantiates it to the common man.
