SRK or Sanjay Dutt – the next Mr. Bharat in making? 
By Bhavna Chopra, August 15, 2007 - 09:32 IST
Come Independence Day and we all get nostalgic about our country, my nation, unity, integrity et all. And when along with freedom fighters and fathers of the nation like Gandhi, even Bollywood stars such as Manoj Kumar and his various national jingoisms are remembered, we realize the effect of cinema, its responsibilities and the valuable contribution towards our country. Looking at which one also realizes that after the great Mr Bharat ala Manoj Kumar, if any star or an actor in today's time had to be elected as the next best contender for 'Mr Bharat' then who could it really be
To this Manoj Kumar will say: Yeh desh hai veer jawaanon ka albelon ka mastaanon ke iss desh ka yaaron kya kehna ….
IndiaFM to Manoj Kumar… well Sir, there is no denying that Bollywood is very patriotic and all it's actors, our very own dharti ke laal have at one point or other acted in some or the other patriotic film, from Ajay Devgan , to Suneil Shetty, Sunny Deol to Bobby Deol and even our very own Krantiveer Nana Patekar have proved they are pure Hindustanis. But taking into account the present audience who belong to GenY, have different set of ideologies and issues to tackle with, so let us boil down to few selective and popular candidates
Top of the line is Aamir Khan :
Manoj Kumar - nahi nahi wo toh har ladki ko aati kya khandaala poochta hai usse kaise chunne
IndiaFM : But sir, he is a true Sarfarosh, he has not only bought the Lagaan issue into limelight but is also reviving history with likes of Mangal Paandey
Manoj Kumar - hmm.. but he copied my Rang De Basanti song theme
IndiaFM- Sir, Rang de Basanti is the new Revolutionary film!! Not just his fans but also the whole country is Fanaa over him…Aamir Khan has even personally stood up for the human rights in 'Narmada bachao Andolan'
Manoj Kumar - OK but what about Roti Kapdaa Aur Makaan
IndiaFM - well that as an issue is no more into news. It is terrorism that we have to deal with.
IndiaFM: Oh, in that case who better than Sunny Deol
Manoj Kumar - ladka bahut chilaata hai shayad iss liye sab terrorists uss se darrte hai
Sunny Deol - OYYYYYEEEEEEE
IndiaFM - Sir, don't look at his ifs and buts just see his films. He as a 'Hero' is one-man army who is sitting on the Border line of his career graph but still has managed to take up issues of so many 'Kaafilas'. He is a true 'Gadar' in every sense. His films like 'Indian' and 'Maa Tujhe Salaam' were a revolution in themselves.
IndiaFM - aur aapne bhi toh Jatt Punjabi film kii thi …
Manoj Kumar: But Punjab is not the only state we are looking at, now are we ?
Sunny Deol - OYE agar hum haath milaana jante hai toh haath todna bhi ..yeh dhai kilon ka haath ..
Manoj Kumar - oh ok ok ..Koi ganndhi waadi nahi hai kya ?
Sanjay Dutt ?
Manoj Kumar - Par Wo toh jail main hai and for reasons we both know
IndiaFM - Gandhi too went behind bars and Sanju baba has realized his galti for which he was last seen spreading gandhigiri..
Manoj Kumar : box office ko mamu banaya
IndiaFM ; No Sir, Box office ka munnabhai bana.. Patriotic films ka circuit hi badal diya …Khalnayak ke roop mei nayak hai, sir. Militant bana uska mission nahi tha in fact Mission Kashmir is his dream
Manoj Kumar : munnabhai ka America jaana shayad uski kismat mei nahi …
Kalyug aur Ramayan ke beech phas gaya hai
IndiaFM: What do you think of Diljale Ajay Devgan
Manoj Kumar : nahi jamega .. aaj ki daur mei who is tongue smart is street smart aur Ajay Devgan jyaada bolta nahi …
IndiaFM- No sir, this Legend of a Bhagat Singh was a show stealer in which he did a marvelous job and his films like Kargil, LOC, Major Saab, Gangaajal, he proved he is the real Tango Charlie!
Manoj Kumar : Hindustan kii kasam jiss din main army mei gaya I will chose him as the first candidate par Mr Bharat ke liye koi krantikaari chahiye …
What about Salman Khan
Manoj Kumar: aree uss bechaarein ke apne itne issues hai wo desh ke issue ko kya sambhaalega
IndiaFM - Sir don't talk like that, however mean or bad a man he has been showcased, the whole nation still has Garv on him. He actually changed the anthem from Jana Gana mana to 'East or west India is the best!' And now he is walking on your footsteps and making a remake of 'Purab Aur Paschim' called Marigold
Manoj Kumar - nahi nahi bollywood mei itni kranti laa chukka hai Hindustan ke Liye ahinsawaadi ki zaroorat hai
Well then Shah Rukh Khan is the man
Manoj Kumar: yeh kya speech dega, yeh toh haklaata hai
IndiaFM: Gone are those days Sir, however he acts, how much ever repeat performances he gives after all 'Phir bhi dil hai Hindustaani'. When anybody is in trouble or ho koi pareshaani he says Main hoon na
Manoj Kumar: Advertisers ko ya fir logon ko ?
IndiaFM: Love and romance is his message. Did you watch Veer Zaara. Desh ko Swades ka message diya aur ab Chak De India mei toh kamaal hi kar diya… He is different sir .. After all SRK hai. Chak De Phatte!! Bolo Om Shanti Om
Manoj Kumar - Jyaada Shor machaane se koi Deshwasi nahi ban jaata
IndiaFM is at a loss of choice…
Manoj Kumar - arre haali mei Koi Bhaarat Bhushan ka naam sunne mei aaya tha .. kahaa jaat hai usne ache achon ka Bheja Fry bhi kiya who is he ?
IndiaFM - Well people it looks like Manoj Kumar cannot decide who the man should be. So we put the ball in your court and let you decide who is the winning candidate
So please vote and choose for your Mr Bharat
