This is Bollywood at its most sublime. When stars the size of Salman use such self-deprecating context-less humour, there is little chance of the audience not empathising. You can just imagine couples going home to canoodle and make their own little pilloos right after watching the film.Ready has some classy writing. It transcends plot and logic. It’s set in a world that is made up entirely of one-line witticisms. It’s kind of like Twitter, except twice as classy. Sample this: “Jiske pass hai family support, usko nahi kar sakta koi deport” and “Dher saare car, uske saath sanskar.” Meta jokes abound too.
There are beautiful references to Thank You, Welcome, and No Entry and one of the ‘conditions’ set by a rich family to meet the goon families (plot alert) is that they should not dress as if they’re in a C-grade film (we’re three-quarters into the movie by now and frankly they never looked out of place in this scenario). If this is not a classy meta-joke, nothing is. Move over Community.
