U, me, aur nonsense!!

No offense to those who liked the mush of the much raved You, Me Aur Hum. But in my opinion, it is a very BAD movie, portraying all sorts of wrong information, and misguiding laypersons. UGGH!!

So what is this movie about? Alzheimer's disease? GREAT!
Wonderful concept. Novel. Educational. Informative. Different. Blah Blah.

Did you know that the average life span of someone diagnosed with Alzheimer's is 8-10 years after diagnosis? Going by the average, Kajol should have been dead at 38 considering she was diagnosed at 28.Yeah yeah, FEW people do survive for another 20 years. Do you know what state they are in by that time? A mere VEGETABLE, unable to function on their own, let alone wear pearls on a cruise and blush to the memories of their young adulthood.

Alzheimer's is a progressive disease. What does that mean? It means it gets WORSE as time passes by. That means that Kajol should technically be wearing diapers, be fed with a spoon, and be carried around on the cruise!!!

There is no cure for Alzheimer's. So I wonder what the doctor at the nursing home wanted to do with her? Medication only slows the process down, does not get rid of it!

Alzheimer's has several stages. What you see in the movie is Stage One. Apparently, she remains in stage one for 25 years!! AMAZING! Miracle, blessings, hallucinations, or true love? Only Bollywood can answer that question.

Oh and did I mention that most people get diagnosed with Alzheimer's in their 50s and 60s? Yeah yeah. The doctor mentioned that Kajol is a RARE case. Did you know that the youngest person to be ever diagnosed with Alzheimer's was in their 30's and had Down's Syndrome (a form of mental retardation). All early diagnoses of Alzheimer's are due to this particular syndrome. Did Kajol look retarded to you in any way, shape or form?

So now my dear friends, please do rave about the movie's songs, acting, costumes, dialogues, dances, scripts..whatever! But please do NOT RAVE about its wonderful story and please do not definitely BELIEVE any of it!!

For more information on Alzheimer's disease, please look here.

FYI, research studies have shown that turmeric can prevent Alzheimer's disease and that's why a very low percentage of Indians suffer from it compared to the rest of the world.

Wooo Hooo!!

That is the first review I have read in my life that is written by a medical professional...guess you should forward this to all major newspapers...

in the name of movie masala we are sold all kinds of crap and the innocent and illeterate beleive it as TRUTH...


but bollywood has its own world I guess....know of the physics defying stunts of mithun and rajnekant...

Neetal said...

I laughed hard in the movie too... like what do the director assume the audience to be...

Bunch of Idiots I guess!? ! ...

Like Seriously !!!!!

Very informative and nicely written... Ceedy is right... u should forward it too movie critics.

Pavi!!!! said...

I hvn't seen this movie...n obvsly after reading this won't see it.

Thanks for all tht info Sol. Its good to know!These movies make us think otherwise. They shld potray facts n stop misleading the audience!

n the turmeric bit...yes i've heard that before.

Nirmal said...

well its hindi cinema...and not a educational one......

my grandfather suffered from this disease when he was in 80s...first my relatives thought y he is acting weird ..later on he was diagnisd with this one....now he is no more...everything happend in a span of 2-3 yrs....

****saw a mithun movie few years back.....he gets a shot of bullet in his head......he killed that villian after that...and after his head operation doctor cums out and says.." bullet nikal diya aur uske saat unke sir mein se tumour bhi".....and then he showed the tumour....and it was like samosa covered ketchup....lol....

now if u start putting logic in these cinemas...then whom shud i blame...lol

P said...

I liked the concept of the story that how he had to try hard to woo her and then how he had to put in a different kind of effort to stay with her.
Hindi movies usually rarely have their facts right. So I don't really take them seriously. But thanks for the post. Very informative.
And yes, the turmeric part is very correct. One of my colleagues is working on the medicinal value of turmeric. I feel happy to see an American scientist working on an Indian herb :)

Nishant said...

I decided not to see the movie..Looks like good decision(although I had other reasons..)

Keshi said...

hahaha good one Sol!

I say Bollywood is not for Shrinks ;-)


**Apparently, she remains in stage one for 25 years!!

LMAO!


I hvnt seen this movie but it does sound like a great Comedy to me. I'd love to get it n watch it on a nite I want a good Laugh.


Keshi.

Vishesh said...

lol,i never saw the movie :)

Am In Trance said...

Ya..
My Points..

**The supporting characters are highly irritating..
**The baby drowing scene in the second half - Great!
**When Ajay finds Piya, lost on the middle of the road, right in front of her house! - Cool!
**Sachin Khedekar is good..
**Kajol... Looks SuperCool... :)

Average Movie I'll Say.... But was not worth watchin' after a hectic Friday in Office.... Phew...!!

Anyway... I got a blog adress for you.. Maybe You Know it...

Its Aamir Khan's blog..

g-man said...

even considering the fact that observed medical cases show this behaviour, is it absolutely impossible for something like that to happen? slowly progressing alzheimer's i mean. just like ppl thought passive smoking couldn't cause cancer, once upon a time. my great grandfather died of alzheimer's, and he lived until the age of 93. he couldn't recognise anyone ever since he turned 85 or something, and he had to be helped with everything

Satish Bolla said...

good to see a review which pointed out the crap that was sold in well-concealed packs by our renowned film-makers. nice narration. ignited a spark of interest in me to watch the movie ASAP. got the dvd with a frnd of mine.

but i feel that the time has come for you to watch the rambo-killer, arnie-ball-buster, jackiechan-beater, our-own rajnikanth. wht do ya say?

anyways, i was on a picnic to some island. returned late in the night yesterday. was away from the bloggerville for a couple of days because of this picnic

Solitaire said...

@ Ceedy,

Not a professional yet...but almost there. :)

I so agree with you. Ajay Devgan has sold a lot of crap to the Indian audience and they all have unknowingly lapped it all up. But when I am here, there is nothing to fear! Main uska parda farsh kar doongi!

Solitaire said...

@ Neeku,

You laughed hard?! Good for you! I almost banged my head on the wall and yelled out my usual expletives every 10 minutes!

Solitaire said...

@ Pavi,

Now that you know the story, maybe you should see it with a critical eye! You will see so many flaws in it!

humbl devil said...

heheheh
dont ya know u have to leave ur brains behind in the car when u go to watch a bolly movie!!!
:D
tht's the reason why i rarely watch hindi movies...i wait till i get a good enough reviews from friends...

btw, i posted that poem after jokingly telling my dame(a few days back) not to visit the blog..lest she gets disturbed..
and she took it in the wrong way...
she has vowed not to come to my blog again...
so do i need alzheimer's???
heheheh

black coffee said...

that movie is more bollywood than medical!
agree on all counts.. and while you were checking each point i was nodding and laughing my ass off at Ajay Devgan(not that i am a fan) to hav done such a floozy movie!


i havn watched the movie but i was shocked to hear the story was abt Alzheimer's!
I mean its a new thing and all but lies cant make new stuff eh??

Well the film was medically incorrect and emotionally taxing as i hav heard a friend say!
as in it was an emotional pain to see such senselessness!

broca's area said...

hmm..in the english original she will be having a type of amnesia not Al disease....,ay be ajay devgan saw it wrong:D....abt al disease u are absolutely right!!..:)...[see black movie u will know]

Solitaire said...

@ Broca,

I do not need to see any black or white movie. I see real clients!

Solitaire said...

@ Nirmal,

Well TZP was definitely educational for a lot of people in India. And everything was very accurately portrayed in the movie.

Solitaire said...

@ P,

I am very surprised that they do not even do a Wikipedia search before putting in so much effort in a movie?!!

Solitaire said...

@ Nishant,

Very good decision!

Solitaire said...

@ Keshi,

Neeku did laugh. I could not manage to laugh even for a second due to extreme frustration!

Satanic Angel said...

heyaa!yep i do have access to woes :D
Abt the movie yeah i have long since given up on bollywood movies ya i mean they are entertaining and stuff but surely all crappy :p i mean most of the things are shown to be larger than life. I loved kal ho na ho INSPITE of it having dumb scenes like srk pulling off his injections/saline and runnin to meet his love interest jus after sum sorta heart attack!
CRAZY!
Thnks for the dope on alzeihmers dint knw of these facts and oh the turmeric thing sure is a nice thing to knw :D

Solitaire said...

@ Vishesh,

Why not? Good decision anyway.

Solitaire said...

@ Am in trance,

What was with that damn lizard scene. Yuck! I don't think Alzheimer's patients get fixated on anything. That is more typical of someone suffering from Asperger's which is a childhood disorder. Damn!

Thanks for that address! I have it! :)

Pri said...

OK GET READY FOR A SUPER DUPER LONG EXPLANATION ;)
HERER I GO:
/////No offense to those who liked the mush of the much raved You, Me Aur Hum. But in my opinion, it is a very BAD movie, portraying all sorts of wrong information, and misguiding laypersons. UGGH!!///

IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ENTERTAINER WHOSE SOLE AIM IS TO MAKE MONEY.IF THE AUDIENCE WANTS AUTHENTIC INFORMATION THEN HE/SHE SHOULD SEE A DOCUMENTARY. BTW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED CHECK OUT THE MOVIE ‘IRIS’. IT IS BASED ON THE TRUE STORY OF IRIS MURDOCH AN IRISH NOVELIST WHO DEVELOPED ALZHEIMER’S.


///Did you know that the average life span of someone diagnosed with Alzheimer's is 8-10 years after diagnosis? Going by the average, Kajol should have been dead at 38 considering she was diagnosed at 28.Yeah yeah, FEW people do survive for another 20 years. Do you know what state they are in by that time? A mere VEGETABLE, unable to function on their own, let alone wear pearls on a cruise and blush to the memories of their young adulthood.///

ALTHOUGH 8-10 IS THE AVERAGE LIFE SPAN AFTER DIAGNOSIS IT IS JUST THAT,A-V-E-R-A-G-E. IN SOME CASES THERE IS SLOWING OF PROGRESSION AND PLATEAU IN OVERALL FUNCTIONAL IMPAIRMENT BEFORE DETERIORATION RESUMES. BESIDES, OTHER FACTORS LIKE PRE DIAGNOSIS LEVEL OF FUNCTIONING AND LEVEL OF EDUCATION DO PLAY A PROTECTIVE ROLE IN COGNITIVE DECLINE.SO,LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN MEDICINE THERE IS NO HARD AND FAST ROLE THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO ANY DISORDER.

///Alzheimer's is a progressive disease. What does that mean? It means it gets WORSE as time passes by. That means that Kajol should technically be wearing diapers, be fed with a spoon, and be carried around on the cruise!!

There is no cure for Alzheimer's. So I wonder what the doctor at the nursing home wanted to do with her? Medication only slows the process down, does not get rid of it!///

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE

///Alzheimer's has several stages. What you see in the movie is Stage One. Apparently, she remains in stage one for 25 years!! AMAZING! Miracle, blessings, hallucinations, or true love? Only Bollywood can answer that question.///

AGAIN,NO HARD AND FAST RULE

///Oh and did I mention that most people get diagnosed with Alzheimer's in their 50s and 60s? Yeah yeah. The doctor mentioned that Kajol is a RARE case. Did you know that the youngest person to be ever diagnosed with Alzheimer's was in their 30's and had Down's Syndrome (a form of mental retardation). All early diagnoses of Alzheimer's are due to this particular syndrome. Did Kajol look retarded to you in any way, shape or form?///

DOWN’S SYNDROME DOES PUT PEOPLE AT RISK OF ALZHEIMER’S. HOWEVER IF ONE GOES PURELY BY DSM OR ICD THERE IS EARLY ONSET DEMENTIA WHICH IS ANYONE WITH ALZHEIMER’S WHICH STARTS BEFORE 65. SO ABOVE ARGUMENT DOES NOT HOLD.


///FYI, research studies have shown that turmeric can prevent Alzheimer's disease and that's why a very low percentage of Indians suffer from it compared to the rest of the world.///

I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY SUCH STUDIES. IN ANY CASE I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT PREVALENCE RATES OF ALZHEIMER’S DEMENTIA ARE LESS IN INDIA.SOME OF THE REASONS FOR LOW RATES COULD BE
1-CLINICIANS ARE NOT DETECTING IT
2-RELATIVES DO NOT BRING PTS WITH DEMENTIA TO THE APPROPRIATE CLINICS
3-IN THE WEST AS LIFE EXPECTANCY INCREASES AND PEOPLE LIVE LONGER, ALZHEIMER’S IS MORE LIKELY TO MANIFEST.AS LIFE EXPECTANCY INCREASES IN INDIA,WE ARE GOING TO SEE MORE OF ALZHEIMER’S



FINALLY, MOST OF THE ARGUMENTS PUT FORWARD BY YOU ARE VALID ON A SUPERFICIAL LEVEL WHICH SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR LAY READERS. BUT IF ONE WERE TO CRITICALLY EVALUATE IT AS A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL THEN ONE COULD FIND MANY FAULTS AS I HAVE DONE.HOWEVER THAT WOULD BE MERE NIT PICKING.


AS FAR AS TREATMENT IS CONCERNED THERE ARE A FEW CHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORS IN THE MARKET WHICH SLOW DOWN THE PROGRESS OF ALZHEIMER'S-DONEPEZIL,RIVASTAGMINE,GALLANTAMINE.
CEREBRAL VASODILATORS ARE NOT EXACTLY TREATMENT OF CHOICE.

HOPE THAT HELPS

IF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED IN DEMENTIA READ THE CHAPTER IN TXT BK OF NEUROPSYCHIATRY BY LISHMAN MY FAVOURITE TOME

Pri said...

@ solitaire
please do not see this as any bashing of any sort...i totally enjoyed reading ur post...
but just that i had done some research on seeing the movie myself to answer the questions in my own stupid lil head :D
and so couldent help placing it before you...

cheers!!

ohh and those guys paid me for defending them too ;p
so dont take it personally!just the views of a doc :)

Solitaire said...

@ Pri,

Here are some of my comments to your insightful comment.

*I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY SUCH STUDIES. IN ANY CASE I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT PREVALENCE RATES OF ALZHEIMER’S DEMENTIA ARE LESS IN INDIA*

Trust me there is a lot of research going on to find out how diet can affect Alzheimer's. The textbook that we had for Alzheimer's also talked about turmeric. Moreover, one of the comments also talk about the same.Yes, the reasons that you have listed very well may be confounding the statistics, as has always been the case for any emotional disorder in India too.

*IF THE AUDIENCE WANTS AUTHENTIC INFORMATION THEN HE/SHE SHOULD SEE A DOCUMENTARY*

I do not necessarily think that an audience should have to see a documentary to get accurate information. There are English movies out there such as the one you mentioned (Iris, which I have seen), the notebook, and our very own hindi movie Black which gives accurate information. Very recently, TZP also threw light on dyslexia, a very new concept for Indian audiences, without boring the crap out of them. So why not this one?

*DOWN’S SYNDROME DOES PUT PEOPLE AT RISK OF ALZHEIMER’S. HOWEVER IF ONE GOES PURELY BY DSM OR ICD THERE IS EARLY ONSET DEMENTIA WHICH IS ANYONE WITH ALZHEIMER’S WHICH STARTS BEFORE 65*

I am very much aware of early-onset Alzheimer's but something as early as 28 is not possible if the adult does not have Down's syndrome. Again, this is going by my textbook and not any website.

*IN SOME CASES THERE IS SLOWING OF PROGRESSION AND PLATEAU IN OVERALL FUNCTIONAL IMPAIRMENT BEFORE DETERIORATION RESUMES*

Do you truly believe that the plateau can be for 25 years?

Dr. Pri, how much exactly did Ajay Devgan pay you for this? I think he has paid you a lot! Thank you for your valuable comment. It helps to get a doctor's perspective. Are you planning on going into psychiatry?

Solitaire said...

@ Elusive,

I loved Kal Ho Na Ho cos SRK dies in it!

Solitaire said...

@ Broca,

What original English movie?

I have not seen Black but heard a lot about it after this movie.

Solitaire said...

@ Black Coffee,

Thank you for your valuable comment. Means a lot to me to have a professional comment and concur on this.

Nirmal said...

@sol...
i said bout THESE movies...not every movie...

Solitaire said...

@ Nirmal,

Do you mean THIS movie?

Solitaire said...

@ G-man,

It is not impossible. Some people can live for another 20 years, as I said in the post. But as you recall, your great grandfather had to be helped with everything, right? How come Kajol is whiling her time on the cruise and romancing to glory?

Occasional Brilliance said...

i personally thought that the movie was rubbish, though a lot of my friends thought it was romantic. and why i thought it was rubbish, has been very nicely listed in your post... what shocked me was that a lot of the reviews that did come out for this movie, totally neglected the medical angle...

Solitaire said...

@ Satish,

How was the picnic? Missed you in a post that created quite a stir three days ago.

Anyway, did you watch you, me aur nonsense yet or not? Lemme know what you think!

Solitaire said...

So did you watch this movie or not? Please tell me you did!!

And how is your dame doing now?

Satish Bolla said...

felt that this movie can wait for a week or so. right now, i've got to finish "P.S I love you".

the picnic was awesome but people r telling that i did some blunders after getting high on drinks. my next post will b on that, anyways.

regarding the "pull n pray" post, ceedy asked me to check it out. n by the time i read it, all the halla-gulla died out..... no probs, will b watching the space frm now on

g-man said...

that i have no clue...i do not see too many movies, especially when it comes to indian movies

black coffee said...

whoa! i just saw Pri's comment! :P
she must hav been paid heavy for that comment and also i think she liked the movie.. :P

and my view wasn exactly professional!
but ur reply to it was highly professional!!!

humbl devil said...

if i have to commit suicide then mebbe i will go and watch this movie...
:D
abt my dame...havent told her abt the poem...even if i told her she wouldnt visit the blog...
hmmm...

broca's area said...

@ solitaire...its a copy of "50 first dates" of Adam Sandler....here the person[lady] will be having amnesia!!

Pri said...

@ solitaire
well logically thinking and based on current evidence, the plateau phase would not last for 25 years.however medicine is replete with cases which populate the tails of bell shaped curve.so in short,anything is possible...

yes, ive always had an interest in psychiatry...so lets see if things work out! :)

La vida Loca said...

You took a few words out of my mouth!!

Pri said...

@ black coffee
haha...u guessed right...i liked the emotional angle..though i liked '50 first dates' better since it made more sense considering that they dealt only with 'amnesia' there...
but yes this was something different...and i personally liked the movie for the dialogues (ok admit some of them were corny!), humour, attitude and acting...
and we all know that bollywood is more of a 'leave ur brains behind' industry :)

La vida Loca said...

there is a little something for u in my blog..

broca's area said...

@ pri....yeah ur right..in 50 first dates she will be having amnesia not Al disease as shown in this hindi movie..guess AD didnt understand its meaning while watching it!!!!..Al disease is better protrayed in Black movie

Solitaire said...

@ Pri,

What are you specializing in now?

Solitaire said...

@ Broca,

Is it really? I have seen 50 first dates and did not see much similarity between them except that both the men are super patient.

Solitaire said...

@ La Vida,

Exactly the words I expected from a dentist! :)

Thanks for the award! I put it up!

@ Humble,

You can also watch it for a few laughs over how stupid people can be.

Didn't Kajol get a surgery done to restore her eyesight in that movie? If her parents were foolish enough to not get it checked earlier, that's their problem. At least there is no medical inaccuracies and worst of all, the entire movie is not on the thesis of blindness right?
