Emotional Atyachar review *ing Ranbir Kapoor

Frequently Asked Questions:

First up, what is Emotional Atyachar?  It's not just a song from an Anurag Kashyap film anymore.  It is one of the staples of trashy guilty pleasure television made famous by channels like Bindass and MTV.  For similarly satisfying American trash, refer to The Jersey Shore, one notch above the now defunct Jerry Springer Show.  Think about it this way: if Mad Men is gourmet, Emotional Atyachar is buying a 25 cent bag of Cheetos from a gas station while wearing flip flops.

The premise of the show? A person comes on the show to do a "loyalty test" on their partner.  The show sends their own crew members to flirt with the suspected person and then record it all on hidden cameras. The footage is then shown to the world and a showdown usually occurs at the end. This could be comprised of sobbing, fighting, hitting, spitting, and traditional beat-downs.  This is what we call the "pay-off"- the reason that the audience watches the show. Who doesn't want to see people getting their asses kicked.  I'm in.

Why Ranbir Kapoor you ask? Emotional Atyachar is so popular and famous now that all celebrities make their rounds of it, watch the cheating action, dole out some advice (and secretly enjoy the beat-downs like the rest of India) and promote their films.

Deepika tested Ranbir's loyalty?!  All of us wish this to be true but alas that was not to be. A truly golden opportunity missed. Please send all future suggestions to Deepika Padukone's PR agents. They are slacking.  I don't think the daily interviews dumping on Ranbir are quite doing the trick. They need to try for something more effective and entertaining.  Deepika owes us big time after Housefull as it is. We might begin to forgive her if she pulls off this coup.

Now on to the show.

After the requisite song snippets from Anjaana Anjaani (really? A cheating show to promote a love story? Marketing FAIL), Ranbir appears looking to be a wearing a thick toupee with long sideburns.  He immediately suggests making a film based on this tv show (Picture Amitabh Bachchan doing his trademark "Hain"?) because people need to be made aware these things happen in real life.  Who would know better than Ranbir.  Smirk.

I am still a struggling actor: Ranvir Shorey

'Ranvir Shorey', naam toh suna hi hoga. He began as a VJ and is now creating magic on silver screen. The roles he has played so far are different with a distinct style of his own. The man has been funny, dark, aggressive, silly, serious and freaky on screen. He has entertained the audience with variety of roles and has made a place for himself in Bollywood, where not everyone can survive (especially without a godfather in the industry). And what can one say about the deadly combination of Ranvir Shorey and Vinay Pathak, they are amazing together. They light up the silver screen with their perfect comic timing and the irreplaceable chemistry. The duo is back again with The Film Emotional Atyachar, no not the show, but a whole movie. It's a road thriller with black humour. Let's find out more about the movie, Ranvir's role in it and his on-screen chemistry with Vinay Pathak in a remarkable interview with the man himself. Presenting to you a very upfront and honest Ranvir Shorey…
