However, these two movies have one upardonable flaw in them. Both have english words in them that have been spelt incorrectly. One of them has the letter ‘K’ instead of ‘C’ and the other one has an extra ‘N’ put into place where it shouldn’t be.
Now, spelling Hindi words in English in any which way is justifiable, to make those idiots who don’t know how to read the Devnagri script comprehend what has been written. But stooping to atrociously low levels so as to redefine spelling merely for the sake of being cool or for the sake of numerology is sheer stupidity.
I propose a boycott that all sane people who wouldn’t really watch such movies anyway would most definitely endorse and help promote. Let’s not watch these two movies in the theatre (either stand-along cinema hall or multiplex), on cable (if your cable guy chooses to put pirated stuff on TV) or by renting the VCD / DVD of the movies as and when they come out.
By enforcing this boycott, we ensure that these movies do not end up being hits, and as a consequence, defeat the very purpose of having had their names altered by numerological methods so as to bring good luck and good fortune.
Furthermore, let’s all go ahead and follow the same procedure for other movies as well that will henceforth adhere to butchering spellings. As if there isn’t enough confusion already prevailing out there with the American spellings being somewhat different from the Queen’s English, with SMS and chat lingo thrown in as well to further compound one’s misery.
PS – all spelling mistakes (if any) in this LJ post are unintentional, and reflect the post writer’s absolute lack of sleep when it was typed out, and do not necessarily reflect his inability to use spell check as and when the occasion demands it.
