Its just a story isn't it?
Like usual Bollywood
Poor boy meets rich girl
Much melodrama ensues
But it's not totally true
The tiny grain of truth
Upon this haywire plot
Still pinches me now...
But in Bollywood always
The stranded lovers meet
My ending is somewhat
Realistic in some sense
It's often said that fact is
Much stranger than fiction
So is reality more romantic
Compared to the best poems
So the tragic hero battles
His inner demons and past
Heroine is freed from him
And chooses independence
And so the story reaches
Its epic finale - the climax
A Bollywood plot turned
Into an art house cinema
The audience feels letdown
Where's all the fireworks?
And item music and dance?
It bombed at the box office
No one likes open endings
Will the hero kill his demons?
Will the heroine succeed alone?
