Movie in Five Words? There Were Many Answers to Amazon Prime Post

Amazon Prime perhaps wanted to remind people about all the movies they could be watching on their platform. So the official Indian handle of streaming service threw out a question that the tweeple were happy to answer. Check out the answers to the question posed:

Explain a movie plot in 5 words

Some movies are complicated, some aren't. For instance, I would summarise Amar Akbar Anthony like this 3 brothers separated, then reunited.  However, if I was asked to summarise Interstellar in 5 words I would go Huh?

Guess this one

Removed moustache, husband became stranger.

Answer

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The moustache removal/restoration trope was also used in Golmaal (the original one).

Hostage situation

This seems to refer to A Thursday a movie about a playschool teacher who takes students hostage and sends out her demands.

Which one is this?

Tenet guessed the tweeple.

This con

Double money in 25 days

The guess

Amazon Prime’s guess – sounds about right.

Any guesses

This is the image that found its way into countless memes – Jaya Bachchan holding a thaali. It can only be Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

Huh?

Strength of love on one side? And presumably all the villains on the other?  This is pretty much every Bollywood love story ever!

This one

The poor loving helpless parents and the thoughtless, neglectful, cruel kids…Any guesses?

Yes!

This one is the weep-fest Avtaar! (No, not Avatar with the blue creatures)

Or this!

My 5 word summary would be Real kids bad, adopted, good!

This one

This is one that I watched recently so I could also guess – Jai Bhim

Memory loss?

Ghajini of course – in Tamil and in Hindi or Memento the Christopher Nolan film that was the original inspiration.

Titanic?

Sounds like it – and $Billions would refer to the priceless ring?

Dhoni

This would have to be that – no one else who won the world cup after being a train TC.

Pretty much

This is pretty much the plot of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

This one?

Sounds like the Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Action Replayy.

And this…

This one would describe too many movies – overacting is hardly unusual in Bollywood films – after all, we aren't too big on subtlety. OTT melodrama is more our forte. Is it any wonder that we can describe so many movies in just 5 words?
