Yesterday I watched Kabali.
I am absolutely blown away.
Whattay movie.
I just couldn't sit on my seat.
The movie simply SUCKED.
Big time.
Super duper hyper duper SUCKED.
Story.....pathetic.
Screenplay....pathetic.
Dialogue......pathetic.
Drama.......pathetic.
Acting of others.....pathetic.
Acting of Rajni.......at times really good but other times, not his usual charismatic self (the flashback old Rajni sucked)
Coherance.....NONE.
Cringeworthiness......Its over 9000
This is like buying a ticket expecting to see Godly Sachin of 90s and then getting to see scratchy Sachin of 2013.
While a lot of views about Rajni are wrong, I can see where others are coming from. If all you saw were movies like Sivaji, Enthiran and this crap...then of course, its hard to respect Rajini.
The levels he reached in movies like Mannan, Padayappa, Thalapathi, Arunachalam, Annamalai, etc were INSANE.
Its sad to see him in this movie.
Even I could have made a better structured movie than this. Seriously. Would have hired some director to direct the scenes (cos I don't have experience) and coordinated the rest (screenplay, structure, flow, okaying a scene) and the movie would have been 100X better.
I hope Kabali flops (it won't sadly) so that better movies are made.
I can understand your pain, I endured it on Friday evening.
Gave seruppadi (verbal) to my friends who wasted so much money (including mine despite my apprehensions of watching this on FDES) on this pathetic excuse for a film.
Can never understand the hype around South Indian superstars.. I find all of them so overrated and crap tbh.. So OTT acting..
Prediction : In about 2-3 years time Fawad khan will be the most popular star in India in one way or another.
Nope,He will continue to get supporting roles and not main roles

He was excellent in Kapoor n sons.Don't know what your talking aboutThe excitement regarding Fawad has gone down now. Sure he is a good actor but not the best to become the most popular star in India. Tbh his dramas and Khuda ke liye was much better than the nonsense he is doing now in hindi films.

Here's the thing .
The fan following he enjoys amongst people within the film and media industry in India is unprecedented and i am not talking about general public but people who run the show and that will ensure he keeps getting great opportunities and good reviews.
You are naiive if you think that being a good actor is a requirement for becoming a big star in India , far from it.
His pakistani dramas may have been stronger in content but films are what would really propell him to superstardom . Indians are obsessed with two things . Cricket and Bollywood. He overshadowed his coactors in his last movie and got the best reviews and now has films with the best production houses in India . The magazine shoots he does in Inda end up being best sellers.
Fawad khan hair style and beard is an actual thing in Delhi and a rage at that too lol and this was when he was just one film old.about an year and a half ago. I dont know about rest of India because i havent been there but they even play his dramas at the airport and people watch .
Anyways its just a prediction . Lets see in a couple of years . India / pakistan relations might be a hurdle though.
Ontopic : i have seen rajnikanth a couple of times in facebook videos people share for a laugh . This hero worship is really a thing in India isn't it .
He has only had two supporting roles till now and was more than decent in the second one.Too small sample size.Nobody said that he is a bad actor. But his Pakistani works are much better than the Indian ones.

Of course bollywood is bending backwards for him. He brings a huge market with him. In india unless you are A list actor like Khans,kapoor,roshan,akhshay and now ranveer, ranbir and varun etc you will not get a good opening or returns. There are other movies which are made specifically for foreign film festivals and there are others which are made for the niche select audiences in india itself with Irfan,Nawaz nasir directors like aunrag kashyap and others Even In pakistan it is usually big banners and big bollywood stars whose movies run in theatres and even overseas like UK Usa it will a single theatre playing movie only from the A list bollywood actors.For anyone( barring Chopra House or dharma productions) making a commercial film with a rank new comer unless a star kid it will be a flop show. Giving Pakistani TV actors a role is a jackpot now especially someone like fawad khan he will bring the pakistani market as well the overseas market where plently of Non resident pakistanis will flock. Hence the people who run the show are taking an interest in the pakistani Tv artistes.

The requirement is both decent looks and decent acting. The acting may not be liked by posters here who are from europe/USa etc and have different standards but most actors in bollywood have to act atleast to a level that is accpetable to the indian audience. He overshadowed whom?? Siddharth! Anyone can overshadow him He is a good actor and yes unless something happens to India pak relations he will do well.

I rate Thalapathi highly due to Mammootty more than due to Rajni, but nowadays he has become the Sunny Deol of Tamil Cinema.

I am a malayali and have been following this guy since the Shoaib Mansoor movie with Shaan and Imaan Ali. Watched his drama dastaan, humsafar etc before it reached in Indian television. And I was eagerly waiting for his bollywood debut since then. But then that Sonam kapoor movie came and it was a tragedy tbh. And what's up with his dance.
I am happy to see him in the movies with big production houses but this was not what i was expecting from him.

You are right but personally i disagree with a couple of things .
1 i dont think salman khan is a great actor but he is a superstar in India.
Looks ofcourse are subjective but rajnikanth/ ajay devgan would not be considered goodlooking by any conventional definition yet they are stars in India.
I am not very well versed in the subject but i think India is still the major market for the Indian film industry and that is where the major dough comes from .
Overseas and pakistani markets are still minor contributors in the grand scheme of things ??
Indians are REALLY into personality worshipping in pretty much every field tbh
Pretty much this.
Worshipping mediocrity is the real issue. mediocre people are hyped as icons, like that apj abdul kalam, and pretty much every bollywood or madrasi clown.

You are talking about Fawad Khan dance? Have you ever seen that joker Rajni dance or many other South Indians like Mohan Das or something? They are so bad at dancing and it used to give people bad image of how South Indians look but it's good to see that current crop of South Indian actors are at least average looking but even in that most of them are born in Northern or Central India

We South Indians have mostly South Heroes. We only import women from North and Western parts of India.
Older generation heroes were poor dancers. The younger generation are all excellent dancers. They may be average looking, but their bodies are very flexible and almost all of them have six packs these days. Its a basic requirement now. No Rice bag looking bodies are appreciated.
Of course, most heroes these days come from filmy families. New comers will find it hard to establish without proper pedigree or caste based fan support. I am talking about Telugu Film Industry.
I appreciate Tamil Industry. Most of their heroes are not proper Tamil except for Kaml Hasan (oldie now) and Ajit.
Jiva is also not proper Tamil no?Ajith is not proper tamil. Vijay, Surya, Vikram, Siddharth, Vijay Sethupathi, Jiiva, etc. are tamil.

It was inevitable though.
Indian film industry is different from hollywood in that song and dance is a major requirement in the indian industry. Pakistani dramas have totally different requirements.
Knowing him it is completely against his nature and makes him uncomfortable but he will have to learn .
He is a pretty decent singer though and i expect him to sing in one of his movies in the future.
Personally i have only really seen a few episodes courtesy a female friend but humsafar wasnt his best work Zindagi gulzaar hai was (much more realistic) ended up watching most of it on youtube and if he lands a similar role in India watch out.
The only good actor I have found from the land of idli n dosa is R Madhavan.Been a huge fan since his RHTDM was released.Though was quite young at that time but the songs and his innocent boyish looks made me a fan.Also he can speak good Hindi something which Madrasis should seriously consider giving attention to.
He was born and brought up in jharkhand ( then bihar) which explains his well groomed personality.
Got to appreciate the courage of this guy for not using hair dye, I think he is the first superstar in entire Indian film industry who started appearing regularly on screen like this

[MENTION=141520]troodon[/MENTION] when did u become south indian? Average looking my foot.! The current crop of telugu and tamil actors are handsome and fit and better looking that many bollywood actors who are highly overrated in terms of looks. Ranveer, varun arjun and so many more even ranbir kapoor who is hyped as a heatthrob is average in looks pitt all of them against surya, vikram, mahesh prabhu sid etc and southern stars are better looking and better physique. This whole 6 pack trend started in tamil industry first with surya and then vikram . Aamir khan followed surya's example for ghajini and started the trend in bollywood.Who exactly in south cinema has ever been ugly apart from rajni? Nobody I have seen SRK mammotty and mohanlal on stage they are better looking than srk in looks who looks like a weasel and being clean shaven does not mean good looking and both are older than SRK too. These posters will give examples of yester years actors who did not bother with physique but then even in bollwyood it used to be the same govinda was fat so was shammi kapoor and rishi kapoor u can find his video with madhuri dancing and his shirt struggling not to burst. And what about anil kapoor and jackie shroff with thier moustache?? They were top actors of their time. Did'nt even salman khan sport a moustache for sultan now. ? Most of these posters know the truth but still are so petty and mean that they use false stereotypes to abuse. It just shows their low class.We South Indians have mostly South Heroes. We only import women from North and Western parts of India.

lol at south Indians actors are good looking.Such a low standards.
Expected and typical response. Please read this article
South is the new sexy.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/South-the-new-sexy/articleshow/12610357.cms
Gone are the South stereotypes in which the hero was a moustache-twirling, middle-aged man. The current crop of stylish and goodlooking South heroes are making the right noises nationally now. From landing lead roles in big ticket movies to being linked to Bollywood heroines, South Indian heroes have become the flavor of the season.
The young actors, who are chiseled, suave and a lot more 'with it' and can give their Bollywood counterparts a run for their money as far as good looks go. Just like their films, the actors have also become acceptable to national audiences," he says.
Thanks to the changing times, South heroes have become more dapper than ever and now appeal to a pan-Indian audience, says Nandi Award-winning costume designer and character stylist Deepa Chande. "With rapid urbanization you can't tell where somebody comes from by just looking at them. Be it Siddharth or Allu Arjun, they all have reasonably neutral features. A Ram Charan Tej could easily pass off as a Mumbaiite or a Calcutta-born just as easily as a Rana who could be a Punjabi or a Haryanvi jat. Add to that the fact that these guys are well-travelled and exposed to what's happening around in the world of fashion and styling and are also incredibly talented, no wonder, Bollywood is finally opening its doors," says Deepa.
Times of India lol.
South Indians should stick to making sambhar and satellites for ISRO and leave other stuff to their more skilled compatriots across vindhyas

You are enjoying reading those riled up replies..aren't you?![]()
If anything Salman bhai improvised those original versions and made them viewable.I have seen the original wanted and it's nothing in front of the legendary bollywood one which revived Bhai's career.The only decent actor to come out of the Dravidian land is Madhavan and even he has been born and brought up in north.You people have ruined set max for me as now a days they 24/7 play rubbish south movies with cheesy dialogues and awful story lines.I'd rather watch suryavansham again than sit 5 minutes in front of tv to watch the trash you people call cinema.Other stuff like what movies even there ur salman bhai has been remaking south indian movies left right and center from judwaa to kick even bajrangi bhaijan would not have been possible if bahubali's dicrector's father had not given the script to kabir khan.
Just educating our brethren from down south about ground realities.You are enjoying reading those riled up replies..aren't you?![]()

lmao.I have nothing else to say further.It is ur opinion and nothing else. The reason set max shows those movies is because there is a market for them in north. On youtube u have north indians begging uploaders please upload this movie in hindi or where can i find the hindi version. But i understand ur pain the dubbed versions are very very bad. I have seen the original Wanted too and Mahesh Babu rocks it.

That Gautham Menon movie with Dia mirza was really beautiful with some good songs. Brought back some old memories..![]()
[MENTION=133135]kaayal[/MENTION] Watch UDTA punjab you will change your opinion.)
More skilled in producing babies like rabbits, spitting pawn on streets and in general adding nothing but junk to the country.
Surely, South Indians cannot compete with those skilled Northies. Barring Punjab, there is nothing that part of India can be proud of.

Even in Telugu, the song is awesome.
Did not like it particularly in Hindi.
I don't know telugu either.
Doesn't Allu Arjun have a huge female following?
Such keh raha hai dewaana > Venmathi venmathi for me. Because i heard the hindi one first and i can understand hindi more than tamil.![]()
He has following among all people in South. His dance moves are something that people are enchanted.
Have anyone watched Fawad Khan's Pakistani dramas? The way he is being described here is atrocious.Maybe you people need some research before worshiping
Which is why I couldn't get the hate from you guys for him. He dances spectacular, is fit, acts well I think (haven't watched his movies personally), and I consider his looks a bit robotic but certainly not ugly.
Sundar Sundar Voh Haseena Badi Sundar Sundar Main To Khone Laga Uske Nashe Mein Bin Piye Baheka Ek Din Usse Bhoola Doonga Main Uske Nishaan Mita Doonga Main Chaahoonga Na Main Us Patthar Ko Jaa Usse Bata De
Hindi lyrics were nice too
I'm sure it's easy for you to understand lyrics of this song. It was favourite song of...........
