I agree.
Always great to read the reviews by Navroks.
not just sikhs..the glorification of khans..which are upper caste among muslims.. what about ansari and qureshi.. in the gangs of wasseypur they showed the pathans as the good guys and the qureshis as the bad guys.. hate this casteist portrayal..
I watched Jab Tak Hai Jaan today and it is terrible. Do not waste time watching this crap movie unless you want to pay tribute to late Yash Chopra.
or watch Kat n Anushka
thats enough reason to watch it.
P.S. I heard theres a bikini scene,can u confirm![]()
and everyone talks about punjabi influence on bollywood, but they forget the bengali influence..
Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar, Mithun, Bappi Lahiri, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Kumar Sanu, Abhijeet, Hemant Kumar, Biswajeet, Utpal Dutt, Sushmita Sen , Bipasha Basu, Konkona Sen Sharma, Rakhee, Rani Mukherjee, Sharmila Tagore, Rimi Sen...my god, there are a lot more..so i will stop here
What about South Indian influence....Sridevi, Hema Malini, Rekha, Mani Ratnam, A R Rahman , Ram Gopal Varma, Aishwarya Rai, Rasool Pokatty, Deepika Padukone, Shantosh Shivan, Prabhu Deva,Priyadarshan,Vidya Balan, and few more..
I am not going to forgive you for forgetting Shreya Goshal in that bengali list....that is a crime!!!
downfall of malayalam started when they started shakeela and reshma movies..mammooty and mohanlal are only two i am aware of for being legends.. i knew someone;s family who was a telugu poet and lyricist but you may not know him..he wrote for older movies.. telugu movies may be masala, but they are high budget so worth watching..i watched eega..nice graphics for an indian movie..i guess telugu movies will remain like this..
but what about kannada movies, malayalam, tamil and telugu cinema are well established, but kannada cinema is like a poor cousin, i dont even know anyone else apart from Uppi..
sorry, no south indian influence just stick to one state..cant use four states against my one state.. shreya ghoshal lives or used to live quite close to my place..used to go there every week..and i know this girl who was on indian idol..torsha sarkar..
Lol..True..but then we have commercially successfull industries...there is no reason why the likes of SPB or ilayaraja or Kamal Haasan or anybody who completely move to bollywood![]()
Kannada Cinema...I am not sure why..and what happened...may be because of the sons of Raj Kumar!!!
but bengalis are naturally artists and intellectuals, which everyone agrees to
i love this song by Dr. Raj Kumar
Lol...I know that song is made fun of.....But this is one of my all time Fav Kannada songs...and only Kannada song in My Iphone for the last 3 to 4 years!!... this is Raj Kumar's song too..
btw...i like your nostalgia comment...I dislike people who look at 80's 70's songs and movies and laugh and diss them...while it is okay not like them....It is not something to ridicule coz things back then were different..so was the awareness...etc
JTHJ was really average...Katrina was absolutely awful and the story was just way too OTT.
a proper actress like Kareena or Priyanka should have played the part of Meera.

kareena proper actress?![]()
she was lucky with Jab We Met, because the role was similar to her personality..she was not acting, she just got to play kareena... in all of her movies, i dont see the character, i only see kareena playing herself..at least katrina doesnt have any pretensions of being a good actor...but kareena acts as if she is the best actress and is the most prettiest..

Okay First....are we talking actors or Stars!!!! Stars is not just acting but has charishma..good looks...good personality..and ability to engage the audience....star comes in a package....
Even back in day ....Naseerudhin Shah was not a star....was he? Rajesh Khanna was star because the girls at that time found him sexy according to their taste.....and then came Amithab Bacchan.....
Do you know anil Kapoor was considered sexy because he had chest Hair!!! and he had loads...
In Today's World....people work out more..and it is showing in bollywood. People keep up with the trends....in different ways!!
But Idea of being more appealing to the public is the same....however looks are not the only factor...Today...20 yrs later...there are still young fans for SRK....Salman or Akshay ...not because they have body...so the thing is Idea of what is perceived to look good has changed from generations....but idea of the star being attractive is the same!!!!
Back in the day Dharmendra may be considered sexy having loads of chest hair...now it is not...now chiseled body is considered sexy....things change..hairstyles change.....
People from non acting back ground have always come into bollywood....if they had stuff to succeed ..they have...so I do not see a problem!!
Cinema is a visual medium...looks , charishma play a part...sometimes over ride acting....read Salman !!
They show of their muscles coz they have it...back in the day Anil, Sunil Shetty...showed their chest hair.....Atleast muscles are hard to get!! Is that your problem btw?
90 % of the male stars are successfull coz of their acting....however successfull they are...even females...likes of Vidya, Anushka, Deepika, Kareena are considered more successfull as actress than Sonam and co who live in empty celebrity status with no work to back up...Eventually they will fade out !!!
Industry still rewards acting....and charishma....Idea of looking good has always been there...back then it was something that was natural...(chest hair and voice)...now it is something that has to be achieved with hard work....muscles!!
About bad teeth...Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn ...stars aren't they?
I do not know what you mean by Manoj Bhajpaye is not mainstream.....he is a A list main stream actor...so is Irfan Khan..so is naseerudhin shah...and they are stars in India....
Even in Hollywood...Whoopie Goldberg or Morgan freeman are no bigger stars than Brad Pitt....(heck I doubt if they make more money than Kristen stewart)
Being a star is different from being an Actor...Star has to have everything...and everything....and that everything changes!!
Ranbir Kapoor is a star now...but it is not the muscles that are reason for the stardom...but his acting!!!People are more body conscious now..and it shows...may be girls back then liked chest hairs and mustaches...but now they do not ....!!!!
All the people back then were stars because they were considered good looking or had charishma....now how those characterstics are percieved has changed....that is only differenc
The thing is I have heard very bad reviews for JTHJ. Generally I like movies that have a good plot, but I can also watch movies that have very good action or comedy, even if they don't have a great plot.
Romance without a good plot - I can't bear it.
So any suggestions?![]()
^^^^ I won't right her of as of yet....Her next movie "Ek di Thayan" with Emraan Hashmi (Vishal Bhawardwaj production) will be an important film for her !!
I saw this interview yesterday..Masand picked her as best newcomers this year along with Ayushman Khurana and Arjun Kapoor...fun interview
