My Dear Friend Hitler...

Chillx! its a movie title he aint no friend of mine.....heck no!
I'm not much of fan of bollywood pics but this upcoming Bollywood movie caught my eye..its based on the life of Hitler! How someone can turn Hitlers life into a musical is upon me!
Rakesh Ranjan Kumar, the director of Dear Friend Hitler, told The Times. “It will be a romance but not in the typical sense,”He added that the film “aims to capture the personality of Adolf Hitler”. I've watched a thousand documentaries on Hitler, his wife, dammit even his bodyguards and  I Just don't find him Musical! Well, I cant wait to see this Bollywood Version of Hitler...

The project — Mr Kumar’s first as a director — has been lent weight by the casting of Anupam Kher,
 one of the sub-continent’s most acclaimed and prolific actors, as Hitler. Braun will be played by Neha Dhupia, a former Miss India, who says that she has researched widely to prepare herself for the role.

Psssstt....She;s gorgeous yall!!
those hoping for a typical Hindi melodrama, replete with song and dance, are likely to be disappointed. Mr Kumar is aiming, it seems, for something closer to Downfall, the heavyweight German film lauded for its insight into Hitler’s psyche — albeit with an Indian twist.
Dear Friend Hitler,is to be released at the end of the year, will tell the story of the fascist leader’s final days in his Berlin bunker. It was there, while the Soviet Army bombarded the German capital, that he married Braun in a brief civil ceremony about 40 hours before he killed himself on April 30, 1945. The couple met in October 1929 but the existence of Braun — she is said to have reminded Hitler of his mother — was kept from the German public until after the war.I thought the tittle of the Movie was quiet catchy, who would refer to Hitler as his 'Friends'? Until i assessed the reasoning behind it...According to Mr Kumar his film’s title alludes to two letters that Gandhi wrote to the dictator. Gandhi addressed Hitler as “Dear Friend” before begging him not to go to war.
