But Kaminey seems to have been extraordinarily well-distributed, which means the usual fist-shaking Bollyphiles in the USA have for once seen a Vishal film as early as any one else on the mainland.
Even a patient Vishal fan has his boundaries. Here's a paean to the wait:
with a million apologies to Gulzar-saab, Vishal, and to readers/listeners
Flu Attack!Sparked off while talking to George, whose personal Kaminey gush is up here (I'm yet to read it)ke kaminaa kaminaa aayaa re...
ke kaminaa kaminaa aayaa re... flu'tack
ke kaminaa kaminaa aayaa re... flu'tack
dhan te nan kartaa aayaa re... flu'tack
ke k-k-kaminaa aayaa re,
##gun##-van letaa aayaa re,
dhan dhan kartaa galiyo.n se,
ab tak yahaa.n na chaayaa re
flu'tack, flu'tack...
pikchar dikhe bareily mei.n,
par na saje hai pune mei.n (kaminaa aayaa re...)
dhai baje hai amroli mei.n,
par na saje kahin pune mei.n
kaan mei.n gulzaar ka gaanaa re
flu'tack, flu'tack,
flu'tack, dhan te nan on the ground
flu'tack, dhan te nan on the ground
ginti na karnaa din ke aane ka
awaraa ghume gaalii hoto.n ka
ye swine flu hamesha daraayegaa
na bhaagegaa, sab ko bhagaayegaa
##bore## hue hai.n khabro.n se
gilahari khaaye maTar, ke khaayaa, ke khaayaa,
ke khaayaa aur rulaayaa re,
flu'tack, flu'tack...
jitnaa bhi ruuTh-roye.n thoDaa hai
kiiDon ki mastii ka natiijaa hai
khaasi aur ##'tishoo## to aayegaa
zeharila hai ya sirf sardii aam-saa
darwaazon ko khulne do
dafaa karo ye aandhi
ye tuufan ke mausam ko
flu'tack, flu'tack...
ke k-k-kaminaa aayaa re,
##gun##-van letaa aayaa re,
dhan dhan kartaa galiyo.n se,
ab tak yahaa.n na chaayaa re
ye ishq nahi aasaa.n
aji flu ka khatraa hai
rumaal pehan jaanaa
yeh mask ka hauvvaa hai
ke pardaah uTh jaaye
kaminaa dikh jaaye
kaminaa dikh jaaye
ke pardaah uTh jaaye...
flu'tack!
With no insensitivity implied to people affected by swine flu in the city :-)

Nice word play (flu'tak) and empathise with you :)
"Except for a little pocket in Pune and Bombay"
Even Bombay has seen the movie now! It's only us poor deprived souls left now. :(
Paresh: thanks. Hope the wait is over soon :-)
Gagan: drat.
If it helps - there are pockets in Bangalore too who are deprived..
And rotfl over the poem - move over Gulzaar ;)
I hear the only reason the flu'taak in Delhi isn't too severe cos the temperature here is much higher. That's probably the only time I've been very proud of the Delhi summer! Oh and the movie is fuper :)
Praj: really? they can join the club! Gulzar can move over only if he churns out similar corniness - until then, he is safe :-)
Upafna: :-) I wish it was 'coming this fummer', rather than 'this monfoon'.
thif monfoon, you mean ;)
