It’s time for YRF to start their celebrations as Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi has had a successful run at the BO since its release last week. And if that was not enough the news is that YRF has got a call from the Oscar library requesting them for the script of Rab Ne… for its permanent collection.
News has it that it’s basically the sensitivity of the screenplay and the unusual love story that attracted the attention of the Oscar library. For the uninitiated, the scripts in the collection are kept at the famous Margaret Herrick library and are made accessible strictly for research purposes only. It’s actually the students, filmmakers, writers and actors who can avail the scripts. Also, the screenplays may only be viewed in the library since they do not get circulated and no screenplay is allowed to be photocopied. [Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi makes it to Oscars library]
Most readers might think what these folks were smoking when they asked for the script, but there could be some good reasons also. Couple of things which come to our mind are, one it could be to illustrate the successful formula of making box-office bollywood hits or it could be to show serious students of cinema how movies should not be made.

“serious students of cinema how movies should not be made”
probably, like in those English classes in elementary schools where we had to find the mistakes in a sentence and correct it.
