Read this. They are all praise for some South Indian movie - "Kannathil Muthamittal". South Indian eh!
Rob Chester says, "Shame on India for not sending this movie as their official Oscar entry. I have seen this movie and it has clearly revealed to me the maturity Tamil cinema has in its screenplay and narrative which bollywood better catch up with. By the way to all we westerners, Tamil Cinema is more qualitative and very different from Bollywood which is all about good looks, glamour and promotion."
Looks, glamour and promotion! That's all isn't? Mr Rob, do you have any idea how deeply John Abraham is rooted to his middle-class background? If you don't, please shut up. You know nothing about Bollywood. Go see his girl-friend and you'll know that - how deeply he is rooted to his middle-class background. Now leave us alone. We have enough problems to deal with.
For all of us Bollywood lovers, watching Bachchan Jr. and family at Cannes was a tragi-c**** experience. We were so sorry to see the newly-wed star couple being ignored by the very people they so eagerly wanted to talk to, and pose with.
Ignored! How rude of you! When you come to us, we pose with you. But when we came to you, you ignored us! How unfair! Were you being funny? Let me tell you that it was not funny. Didn't you know how much effort and headache had gone into all that - selection of costume designers, press release etc etc. Didn't you know how excited he was - Beta B? He was playing more pranks than he ever did, so happy he was all the time. "Marriage is a sacred institution" he said to us, and the twinkle in his eyes whispered, "especially when it gives you a passport to Riviera." Oh who could have expected such an anti-climax! If only Papa B would be there! But he couldn't go as the organisers wouldn't permit Amar Uncle for some crazy reason.
But what the hell was our media doing then? Why did they leave Beta B alone in an alien land, amid hostile people? How could media allow Beta and Bahu B to be snubbed by all those inward-looking racists? Why didnt they rush and tell others how adorable a son Beta B is, who always makes shooting such a cool fun! The whole unit feel like a family, more than usual, when he is around! Especially in movies like Umraojaan and Guru. Never heard of them!! Jhoom Barabar Jhoom? No? His old classics? No! Never mind. It doesnt matter. We bollywood lovers don't care for your opinion. Why should we?
At last, after the damage was done, media approached Papa B to know his reaction. But he avoided the question with his characteristic humility and said, "I feel fortunate to work with actors like Himesh Reshamiya and Mallika Sheravat." After we pressed him to corner, he only said that he was just an ordinary farmer and what could he say about these matters.
