Unintentionally Funny, Must-Watch, Bollywood Movies: Striker
02/09/10
Ever seen a movie that leaves absolutely no impression on you? You know what I’m talking about. It’s the movie you decide to watch for lack of better options & don’t care for enough to remember after you’ve actually seen it. You don’t really hate it, but can’t tell why you don’t like it, either. Striker is that movie. Underwhelming, I think, the word is. Like the iPad…. Or Tushaar Kapoor.
PS – All non-celebrity characters in the strip have been illustrated to scale. True story.
DOWNLOAD THE STRIP FROM HERE!
Tonight’s strip just proves it: this is a pretty decent movie afterall. Sure I kept expecting to see Nicolette again. The ghajini-gadar end was OK, good that it went by fast enough and didn’t allow scope for us to make fun of him there. Sahil, that was a pretty tight script.
You made a mock of yourself
hehehe
I don’t remember those biceps on you, Sahil? =P
Poetic license, I’ll grant you….haha
Wait, does this mean *you’re* Salman Khan? And you wrote yourself shirtless–AGAIN?!?!
I kid, I kid. Great job, as always
Hahaha..good one man!!
Can’t wait to c what becomes of my name is khan!
Yeah, this one just wasn’t well-suited to the stick-figure treatment, was it? When nothing happens there’s nothing to make fun of. Well, rape happens. But that’s not funny. I love the RDB afterparty though!
I-pad and tushar kapor..lol…and whats with the biceps? n who is the ‘friend’ talking to you about your review? Well, nice change in narrative.
Hmmm…rightly said..no enthu to read/watch abt this movie..BUT…Last panel(s) again make up…brilliant entry of Sharman n Madhawan..just brilliant n innovative thinking!
‘Puppy Dog Eyes’…looks like you are back!
You’ve been working out pretty hard, eh? Hunkier than Salman!
lol … that was a little too short for my taste (more puns, more sly fun at the expense of ridiculous cinematic twists) but good nonetheless!
WOw! this was REALLY funny.
great work man.
i am your new fan now!
Hah! Dumbbell in first panel.
Popeye forearms, biceps and triceps. Much too much fun!
sorry. but what’s ocsl? love the Tushaar kapoor reference.. neat
you’re losing it… this shit is flatter than boiled kingfisher
RGV better than you
The movie is quiet decent and the script is good….there aren’t many lose ends….ha ha ha ha…this time you didn’t get anything to make fun of….that kinda shows your creative bankruptcy…the only original part u put in was out of context and lame….
Way above my head. Should haev given the movie a look first! But good as always??…ehh…not quite!
Striker was a great movie with a tight script, good acting, wonderful music and not that many loose ends. The “Rape” scene was more an “Angry Sex” scene. The Noorie sequence was an important backstory to the inter-religion tension later on. It also kinda helps bring the brother-sister relation more important and meaningful and ultimately tragic in the end. Not all love stories end up all the way to the end credits.
I could see you struggle, to make fun of it!
)) But more than the strip itself, the words on top were harsh. Left you with no impression? Not even Ankur Vikal’s Zayed, Duuuude, WTF??
I rarely ever like a hindi movie, this was that rare chance. I even went for more popcorn in the interval.
You doing Ishqiya anytime?
bore. c’mon man, i have a lot of expectations on your strip for my name is khan. please watch the movie again if you dont get any ideas…
Langar laga hai kya? Gimme the money first… Up front! =p
Clearly no one appreciates it when I don’t think of a movie as awful. Good to know, people. Thanks! =)
Hi Sahil
you’ve matched the tone of Striker, at least – hazy, hard-to-understand, vague, half-asleep!!! come onnnnnn!!
btw can we see a spoof on ishqiya?
hey, i dont know about the others, but you got me at ‘underwhelming’ – not one of your best, but what do you do with a movie like this one? tushar kappor is right! liked your MNIK spoof in the MM today, ’twas funny, but doesn’t work for me till i see it here on-screen!
So you are ready with MNIK? Please post soon.
Dont see my previous comment here
u r completely amazing!!!!!
Trying to get publicity by trashing MNIK………..go ahead…….atleast then you will be noticed !!
Some wannabe getting popularity using his movie………SRK won’t mind that !!
He’s much above all this & so is MNIK !!
What rubbish article.. This way u can find problems in any movie…
Big fan of your articles
hey Sahil.. too many harsh comments eh? i am sure you know not to worry about it..
Personally, I like your work.. very very creative.. The afterparty part in this strip was awesome.. hehhehe.. lol..
I think one bubble is erroneous though.. Sid being a superstar, looks like Sid is saying it himself..
Guys, you can’t put a spoof reviewers work under the microscope.. if it doesn’t work for you.. too bad..
it is still creative and awesome..
