Okay continuing on from the Trek characters in Bollywood posts (explanations on the bottom)
CW for mentions of killing I guess
Karz: T’pring is Kamini, Spock is Ravi Verma, Mirror Spock is Monty, Khan is Sarjooda, Uhura is Tina (could probably make it Leila but I hate her too much to put her in this)
Badhaai Do (second half because we don’t talk about Kabir): Uhura is Suman, Kirk is Shardul, Christine is Rimjhim, Spock is Guru, Bones is the doctor guy (okay they’re not alike they’re just both doctors and it’d be funny), Janice is Naaznin.
Happy New Year: Kirk is Charlie (no one say the thingI swear-), Spock is Jag, Scotty is Tammy, Chekov is Rohan, Janice is Mohini. It’d be funny if Khan was the villain again (idk if I’m biased because I just watched space seed and am slightly mad we missed a chance for south asian rep)
I’d love Three Idiots with McSpirk but it wouldn’t be accurate 😭
Karz is a movie about a guy whose wife kills him for the money and then he gets reincarnated into a pop star falls in love with this cute girl whose uncle is a Bollywood-Muslim (the tried and I love that for them) baddie and gets revenge. T’pring killing Spock for the money just feels right.
Badhaai Do is a movie about two people in a lavender marriage (the reason I didn’t put Spock and T’pring again is because the characters don’t fit). One of thems a cop (in a relationship with a dude way younger than him so we’re gonna ignore that part) and the other is a teacher and then the cop falls in love with this dude and the teacher falls in love with this girl who works at a lab (see it’s perfect).
Happy New Year is a movie about this guy whose dad got murdered so he enters a dance competition with this guy who is half deaf and beats you up if you insult his mom, a guy who has everything but money is his bag, a hacker kid, and a dance teacher who isn’t in on it at first but eventually is and they win the hearts of everyone. Kirk is slightly less aggressive in non hostile situations but it’d still fit I feel.
Three Idiots is about these engineering students and the pressure of education. Kirk is free spirited so is vaguely like Rancho (the main guy who is like the quirky super smart one) but otherwise it wouldn’t work.
Anyone else have any Bollywood movies or heck, any movies from their culture that would fit Trek?
(I did TOS because I know it but yall can do the others too. There’s a Taare Zameen Par in there somewhere)
