Hey...hey....hold on..don't let your thoughts go wild!! Let me explain the scenario which lead me to write this blog!
Movie: Main Aur Mrs.Khanna
Starring: Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Sohail Khan
We were watching the movie at Grand Cineplex. Was quite an OK movie, nothing too fablous about it. Beautiful locales, nice songs...Even the Melbourne Airport was quite nice to see. Then came up the intermission.
Wait-a-sec!! Wasn't the hero in Melbourne?? Where does the Deira Clock Tower come in then??
What a folly!! Did the director of the movie feel the audience would be idiots not to spot this?? This is so ridiculous!!
How could the director have surpassed this folly??? I wonder if this is the beginning of the downfall of Indian movies which is already in bad shape!! We needed a Danny Boyle to shoot a movie and only then did Rasool Pookutty and A R Rahman come to the international lime-light. What's wrong with the Indian directors?? Have they lost their ability to create a movie which can be of international standards?? Have they decided to make movies like Main Aur Mrs.Khanna with such disgraceful errors!!
Come on guys, I think we definitely need to raise our voices against such insanities. What's your say?? Would like to hear your comments on this.
I can understand how it feels to take a ticket to Melbourne and end up in Diera (Same situation as Dasan & Vijayan)...... You have reasons to be angry....
ReplyDeleteBut (Sony, please excuse!), with all due respects, let me disagree with you!
I don't think you went to Grand Cineplex to watch a National Geographic Documentary.
I don't know if you watched "Golden Eye". The first scene shows 007 bungey jumping from a Dam (located in Locarno, Switzerland). And you know where he lands?...... Russian Nuclear plant!!!!
You should be proud that our directors are touching "International Standards".
Cheer up!!!!
Suggestion : Change the label to Cinema (to make it more generic)
I agree with Vazhipokkan (at times I m forced too)...
ReplyDeleteWe didnt need Danny Boyle to take our cinema in front of World..Indian Cinema had a high esteem even before.. not to under rate Oscar by any means.. In that regard I will be with Big B... When they show all the BAD, UGLY faces of our country...its rated as the best movie????
Regrding CLock tower...it happens many at times.... May b editing (fault) or patch works...etc...
And may be (who knows)... Theres a CLOCK TOWER in Melbourne too.... :-)
@ Anonymous: Well, I've not under rated Indian movies at all.We did have a Satyajit Ray to depict the elegance of Indian cinema in it's true sense. But that quality lacks alot in todays' directors which is exactly my point.
ReplyDelete@ Oru Vazhipokkan: And definitely didn't take a ticket to watch National Geographic at Grand Cineplex at all. But when you notice such an evident error, it does get to you.
