The Indian Value system has surely changed and how .
The most moving dialogue in the blockbuster 'Deewar' - 'Mere paas Maa hai' quite defined the value system for very many years . Gaadi , naukar , bangla , bank balance vs a 2-penny job , a uniform and Maa . The movies' cult status forever etched in peoples mind the spiritual vs the material battle and pronounced the definitive answer - it had to be 'Maa' over everything else .
That was in 1975 .
Three and a half decades later , values seem to have been redefined by a breezy new yuppy movie with newcomers called 'Jaane Tu ' .
Pappu is blue eyed , fair , wears Gucci , Rado , drives a Bmw , strings the guitar , can travel where he wants , can buy what he wants and has an MBA but - he can't dance !
A new battle of 'material and stuck-up ' vs the ' free ' .
Have and have-nots redefined .
This is perhaps a new age value - 'cool'-ness .
To chill , to relax , to fall in love .
To chill , to relax , to fall in love .
Like the 'protagonist ' enjoying his life and its absolute mundanity .
