Arindam: - Good evening, Viewers! Today in this episode of ‘Fantastic Football Fever’ in your favorite ‘Royal Bengal Tiger (RBT)’ TV Channel, we have invited Raavan and his wife Mandodari in our studio.
Abhishek: - Hey, I am not that Raavan, who fought with Bhagwan Ram. I am Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavan’ and she is Aishwariya, not Mandodari.
Arindam: - Hmm…accha, as usual, A.R Rahman rocked with his music, but what is the meaning of the song, ‘Behne de…muhjey behne de’? Abhishek, why are you asking for more sisters?
Aishwariya: - Ha ha ha…Arindam, I think that you have got the meaning wrong. The lyrics of the song states that this Raavan is fed up of the corrupted society and that is why, he now wants to float with the waters of a sacred river.
Arindam: - Oh! So, Abhishek, after ‘Yuva’ and ‘Guru’, you have become a ‘Raavan’ and I hope that you will rock here again, even if the movie flops.
Abhishek: - of course; yes. I have never failed under Mani. This time, I rocked with deadly make-ups and facial expressions. The shooting locations were superb. It was both entertaining and thrilling.
Arindam: - Hmm…those were the forests of Bangalore – Tamil Nadu border area. Accha, Abhishek, whom are you supporting in this World Cup football?
Abhishek: - of course; Brazil. Also, I am supporting Spain and France too.
Arindam: - Oops, then there is a sad news for you. Spain has lost to Switzerland. Wait, Mr. ARINAN, the robot will give the news in details.
Mr. ARINAN: - Everyone was talking about Iniesta, but Torres and Naves are far better players. Why Iker Casillas charged the Swiss striker with his legs instead of using hand is still a mystery. Moreover, a Spanish defender lost his balance before tackling another Swiss striker, who was just waiting for an opportunity in that hassle. His name is Gelson Fernandez, who created history with his winning goal against Spain. Complacency and over-confidence are two major weaknesses in this Spanish side. They have not lost in consecutive 12 matches and they started their world cup campaign with a historic defeat in the hands of Switzerland.
Abhishek: - Oh! No, I am disappointed. Bring back Raul in this Spanish side.
Arindam: - Ha ha ha…now it is not possible. It’s too late now. But, Torres can surely become a second Raul for Spain. He has that potential and temperament. Accha, Aishwariya ji, which is your favorite team?
Aishwariya: - Sorry, I am not at all interested in football.
Arindam: - You are the daughter-in-law of Jaya Bhaduri, the ‘Dhanyi –Meye’ and you don’t watch football. Have you watched the Bengali movie ‘Dhanyi-meye’, where Jaya Bacchan played the leading female role?
Aishwariya: - I don’t understand Bengali. How can I watch that film?
Arindam: - Oh! My God, Amitabh Bacchan will celebrate ‘Jamai-Shasti’ tomorrow and you don’t know Bengali! Aishwariya ji, you should learn Bengali and watch the film ‘Dhanyi-meye’ with sub-titles. Even Abhishek can speak Bengali. In the sets of ‘Yuva’ film, he was talking in Bengali only. Anyway, thanks to both of you for coming to our show. We hope that Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavan’ will do well in the box office. Viewers, just stay tuned because before I sign out, Mr. ARINAN will give the analysis of the other football matches.
Mr. ARINAN: - Chile dominated the game against Honduras. But, somehow, they were not getting goals. Only a mere deflection from a Chile striker fetched them a winning goal. Honduras footballers were not looking so impressive at all. The other encounter was between the ‘Bafana Bafana’ and the ‘Blue Stars’ of Latin America. Tsabhalala was playing with so much over-confidence that he became selfish in the first half. He was hardly giving passes to the other strikers. Instead of doing that, he was taking long shots which went above the goal posts. Forlan of Uruguay played impressive football. His long shots don’t have power but a decent flight, which is very advantageous when you are playing with this Jabulani. He got a goal with that long shot, but that shot also touched the shoulder of a South African defender. The referee wrongly showed red card to Khune, whereas it was a clear cut offside. FIFA should recruit good referees. Uruguay defeated South Africa by 3 goals.
