Comebacks and Go-outs

Comebacks are of different kinds. Some work, some don't. Go-outs are also of different kinds. They always work. Some of the recent ones, summarised for your eyes and ears.

Madhuri Dixit in Aaja Nachle, and a TV show on arranged marriages. Both bombed. But she continues to smile, and another TV show is in the offing. Moral: Be a judge, not a star. After a point, a wise thing to do.

Sridevi, in English Vinglish. Cute film, and it worked. Moral: Play your age. It just might work.

Karisma Kapoor, Mumtaz, Sharmila Tagore, ...what was the comeback?

Go-outs can be temporary, or permanent, as in going to heaven. But on earth, they are usually prompted by non-performance, or super performance.

Deols have been gone for years. Male and female Deols. Better than making people pagla, deewana I guess.

Karan Johar. People wish he was gone, the kind of films he now makes.

Male Kapoors can't actually go out because the doors are too small for the likes of Shashi, Randhir, Rishi etc. So they stay by default.

Deepti Naval, Raj Kiran, Vidya Sinha, Mallika Sherawat, Adnan Sami, Bappi Lahiri, are examples of go-outs that worked.

People in BCCI don't know how to go out. So they just go on, like a spoilt record of yore, or like some boring teacher..
