Iron men

What do Rocky Balboa, Himesh Reshammiya, Emraan Hashmi and Megamind have in common? Granted, they have had their share of mind-boggling crap, some still having it. Apart from that, what is it that they share?

Its their guts. These people have balls of steel.

Rocky, a street slugger from Phily, didnt flinch an eye when he was told to fight the World Heavyweight Champ in 5 weeks. Nor did he

give a damn to what will become of him after the fight. The only thing that mattered to him was "going the distance". To go the whole way across the
fifteen rounds and still be standing...  So what if he lost the fight? That one night belonged to him, not Apollo. Not only this, but also while fighting Ivan Drago, Rocky barely reached his chin. One could almost smell the blood mixed in his sweat when Drago threw hard jabs at him. But he never lost heart. And that's what made Rocky a people's champion. Again, while fighting Mason Dixon and way past his prime, Rocky knew there was no way he's gonna win. However, as Paulie says, " It takes guts getting back into the ring when you know

you are gonna take a beating! God bless you, Rocko!". Rocky lost that fight as well, but with pride, dignity and a standing ovation from millions.

Take Himesh, for instance. He knows perfectly well that he sucks big time when it comes to acting. But he's still starring in his own movies. This guy is undaunted, whether you throw a shoe on his face or the trash can. He earns money singing through his nose and then loses it all by making movies without his mind. You gotta appreciate his guts... Not at all like the guy who couldnt even stand up for his girlfriend when she got hit by a slipper. Seriously, what did she see in that spineless rat?!

When Emraan Hashmi entered bollywood, no one had eyes or ears for him. He was labelled "serial-kisser", "horny bastard" etc. Now, people are actually paying more attention to him than our dear ol' SRK, Salman and Sanju baba, most of whom are busy hitting Shirish Kunder :P

Talking about Sanju Baba, hats off to his new style in Agneepath!!! What an amazing appearance!! Possibly the most deadly villain till date in India. He made the movie ticket worthwhile, which would otherwise have been totally wasted on the sob-fest and crass cacaphony that KJo had produced. No offence to all those who liked the movie, but, I found it damn boring, only amplified by the inclusion of Priyanka Chopra. Both logic and music took a serious hit. Although Rishi Kapoor's eyebrow slash is uber-cool!! One neednt have a six-pack and bulging arms to look menacing...
Lastly, just some words from Rocky himself - " Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you!"
