Non-Acceptance of disabled boy in UC social circles 2. communal riots showing one-sided anti-minority views 3. wars with politicians and higher officials causing soldier deaths 4. society against women of certain kind Left has so much material in India to show atrocities For my money, I am happy this is still continuing. It further galvanizes the majority. I remember during lunch meeting at the time of release of PK, the banker said to me how good PK was and he enjoyed, then proceeded to ask me. I said I would have enjoyed it if it wasn’t so selective. He said it was not selective and poked all sides. I said I hope that the he doesn’t apply same level of discretion with his choice of clients. Silence on the table.

Texan Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 To think that he didn't have a movie releasing in the last 4 years and all he was working on was this cartoonish performance of rehashing some of his peculiar (hammed) expressions. Seriously, this guy has lost credibility. He used to be one of the better actors in the late 90s to early 2000s, but now he has gone complete nuts. rkt.india 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why should this one movie (PK) not be selective? Broader question, must he have to address all evils in each of his creative undertakings to "balance" internet outrage. Is that what will dictate creativity now? Ensconced in a cocoon of 'balanced' viewpoints so that no one is outraged any more than the other? Why should he have to poke all sides? Have you seen Secret Superstar? You have to be consistent here. If PK was AK (surely he had directorial inputs, no?) being selective, would you think its fair if the side that was rubbed poked the wrong way in Secret Superstar also accuses him of being selective?

Think of it as an OS upgrade and not as a cheap knock off of a Gucci belt you get opposite National College. I'm looking forward to this one. Prima facie , AK has outdone Tom Hanks.

I would call it OS localization, in any case Windows XP Punjabi in 2022 isn't gonna be any good an experience.

Please rewatch the trailer. Dialog delivery of Amir khan seems as bad as KRK in deshdrohi. His Punjabi accent is unintentionally funny. Where is Mr perfectionist?

You want him to rattle off Punjabi like Navjot SIngh Siddhu? AK the perfectionist has done a perfect job of playing a dyslexic Punjabi war veteran.

sensible-indian Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 On 5/30/2022 at 1:09 AM, maniac said: One word embarrassing. box of chocolates replaced by gol gappa Actually the gol gappa analogy was a good one. They made it relatable for our audience. Box of chocolates would have looked stupid in the desi context. Aamir's acting looks really bad and I am not sure about this movie working. But with that being said... There is a big problem with remakes. Even if someone adapts a scene well, we compare it with the original and trash it. Human nature.

coffee_rules Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Big campaign in SM to boycott this movie because he seems anti-Hindu and anti- India. Actor pleads not to boycott. Aamir Khan's 2015 comment comes back to haunt Laal Singh Chaddha, actor says 'please don't boycott my film' I don’t support the boycott. I will not watch it because it is a badly made remake . Just like I didn’t watch his previous one Thugs of Hindustan Edited August 1, 2022 by coffee_rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
