Chapter 176: Earthquake

Although Shaklu's engagement ceremony is very low-key, it still attracts a lot of attention, on the one hand, because as the owner of a film and television company, he is half of the entertainment industry, so he will naturally be noticed by the media; On the other hand, it is because of his "Winning the Heart", a person who preaches free love turns out to be engaged according to traditional etiquette, how can this not be complained about. Not only that, the movie specifically for "Winning the Heart" that Rakuma said to him before has begun to be officially filmed, and two of them have come out at once.

One is called "Wedding", the story tells the story of a man and a woman who enter into marriage under the arrangement of their parents, and at the end the heroine is unexpectedly disfigured, and the male protagonist resolutely marries her, fulfilling his promise to take care of her for the rest of his life. This reflects the traditional beauty of arranged marriages, although arranged marriages do not have a romantic love process, but they can still be dry and rotten, and the sky is old and wasted. The film is arguably a great showcase of the virtues of keeping promises in arranged marriages, which are precisely the weaknesses of free love, and there is no doubt that this film will certainly be popular with conservatives in Indian society.

And the tradition preached in the film is not immutable, what is shown in "Wedding" is the improved arranged marriage, the man and woman before entering the marriage, accompanied by the parents of both sides, had three friendly meetings, in the meeting, they deepened their understanding of each other through chatting, which is different from the tradition of being completely strangers before marriage, in addition to promoting the advantages of arranged marriage, the film is also trying to show the world that tradition can keep pace with the times, so there is no need to completely subvert it.

Compared with the modified arranged marriage, another film called "Love, Start Again" explores the intrinsic relationship between free love and arranged marriage in more detail. A man and a woman in the story have experienced an unforgettable free love, but the relationship failed to achieve positive results due to one reason or another, so the two reluctantly accepted the arranged marriage and came together, from the initial ignorance and resistance, to the final touching and love for each other. This story not only shows the unparalleled romantic temperament of free love, but also celebrates the traditional advantages of arranged marriages with solid insurance, and most importantly, it provides young people with an open idea of marriage, love is definitely not only one way to obtain, as long as you are willing to open your mind, let go of past relationships, and abandon the prejudice against arranged marriages, happiness is actually not far away from you.

The two unsuccessful romances in "Love Starts Again" are somewhat dramatic, but most of the Indian public do enter arranged marriages with a vision of free love, for them, this film has great guiding significance: since you have accepted the arranged marriage, you can manage it well, you can also get good feelings, don't be nostalgic for the colorful emotional world outside, those feelings may not lead you into marriage, it has too many variables, what you miss is actually just a few relationships, And did not miss the ultimate happiness. Compared with the first two films, one praises free love and the other praises arranged marriage, this film is more rational and more in line with real life.

For the counterattack of these two movies, Shakru feels that his best way is to ignore them, otherwise it will be equivalent to using his "Winning the Heart" to hype up the other party's box office, but he is not doing nothing, but making up for the loss of the embankment and making up for the loss of the embankment outside, and stealing fame for himself in other aspects.

So in addition to the Juju (a traditional Hindu festival that originated from the sacrifice to the goddess of the river), Shakru announced his latest divination results at the temple of Belur - a devastating earthquake will occur in the western Indian state around this year's Jusheng Festival, and the number of casualties will far exceed the previous temple battles.

Shakro is actually talking about the 6.3 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Maharat Stra on September 30, 1993, although the magnitude was not large, but the casualties were extremely large, 73 villages near the epicenter of Latour were all destroyed, more than 20,000 people died, becoming the deadliest earthquake in India this century.

In fact, at the engagement ceremony, when Mukesh and the others asked him to divination, he wanted to tell this human tragedy, but considering that it seemed unlucky to say such a thing on his own happy day, he suppressed it.

There are many people who believe in Shaklu's divination now, but these people are basically concentrated in the north, and Shaklu is not famous enough in western India, and his divination is too vague to be known at a time (the date of the festival is not fixed, it can be held in September, and it can be held in October). The location is also not clear (the place in western India is bigger), so it does not attract enough attention.

In fact, he remembered that the epicenter was in Latour, Maharatstra, and he also remembered that the specific time was the early morning of September 30, but he didn't dare to say, after all, he said it was too detailed, and it might be regarded as a monster, so vague was the best effect.

Even so, Mukesh made fun of him: "Little Shaklu, I found that you are simply a disaster star, just report bad news but not good news, why don't I see you do something good in divination?" ”

Shakru replied helplessly: "What can I do about this, you don't know my divination skills, what you can divinate is completely up to the will of God." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Mukesh: "By the way, don't say that there is no good thing, I will divinate that your brother Mukesh will become the richest man in India in the future!" ”

"Don't tease me, it's not certain that I can inherit my family's Xincheng Group in the future, and I will be the richest man in India?" Mukesh said disapprehantly.

Shakru said very solemnly: "Don't believe it, this must be true, not only the Xincheng Group is yours, but the richest man in India must also be yours, but you have to wait a few years, uh, about ten years later!" ”

Mukesh was speechless: "You also used such an ancient method to fool me, and supported me until ten years later, isn't this a common method used by those liars!" ”

"Why am I lying to you, and I can't get any benefits, I really expect you to become the richest man in India, and then I will follow you to get some cheapness!"

"Well, I'll borrow your auspicious words, if I become the richest man in India, I will promise you a condition!"

"Okay, I don't want anything else, just a house you don't want in the future!" (To be continued.) )
