...like most people, you know that a sleepless night can sap your energy and turn your brain into mush. So it may be hard to fathom how anyone could complain about having too much sleep. And yet that's the predicament faced by the estimated 200,000 Americans who suffer from a condition called narcolepsy. They don't generally fall asleep in the middle of a meal or a conversation--that happens in movies and television sitcoms. But they struggle with an overwhelming sense of drowsiness they can't shake--even after a good night's rest...
...veritably providing all tangible elements of humor or rage that drape, satisfactorily enough, across the flimsy clothesline of the songs. The performers are full of energy, though where the energy is coming from is a bit unclear; not from the music itself, certainly, which early on blurs into a mush of pulsing sounds, none of which particularly complement each other.

The vast majority of Hindi movies continue to be overly sentimental mush-fests involving Hindu-Muslim tensions, corrupt politicians, forbidden loves or a combination of all three. But my movie tastes back home, as any of my friends can tell you, were never exactly high-brow (even if you excuse Dude, Where’s My Car? as a temporary fit of insanity). And the several Indian friends I have made in Bangalore have taken it upon themselves to explain...
