Won’t watch it just because he has nothing new to offer from the acting dept. he had the same expressions from Andaz Apna Apna. Very limited actor. Dangal was an aberration. Probably he listened to the director. Lord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find various posts ( including those you've appreciated) which call Aamir Khan as a Jihadi. An Islamist who hates India/Hinduism. A Chinese spy. A money launderer etc. Wonder why? Aside from allegations by the seemingly jobless Twitteratti, there is nothing against Aamir Khan in the courts. That comparison with Azhar is wrong at every level. So what if he didn't meet Nethanyahu? I didn't know that attending a dinner event hosted by Nethanyahu was an affirmation of Indian nationalism. That is a very poor barometer for judging 'deshprem'. You stay in a country that has shielded some of those responsible for the Bhopal Gas tragedy for ~30 years. Giving scant compensation. Why should your 'transgression' be any lesser than Aamir Khan not attending some dinner? You keep bringing up meeting the Turkish first lady. What has that to do with anything. Our PM met the Turkish PM a few days before that on the sidelines of a G20? meet. This is weeks after Erdogan made comments on Kashmir. For someone who hasn't seen the movie, or intends to, you sure do have a lot to speak about it. Lord, EnterTheVoid and coffee_rules 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah nothing wrong if he doesn't want to associate himself with someone who HE thinks is killing his Muslim brothers in Palestine.. and in the same way an Indian also has the right to not watch his film because THEY feel that his agenda is to disrespect Hinduism in every film in some way and portray Pakistan as some sort of peace loving nation. Unlike the left no one is asking Aamir Khan to be banned or his films to be taken down. An economic boycott is a fundamental right and its a way to make peoples opinions heard by higher powers to be that IF they want to keep making money from the Indian audience by whose grace these Khans has become superstars in a Hindu majority country, then they need to know what sort of films they should make. Same goes for Karan Johar or Akshay Kumar or any single one of the Bollywood fraternity. Karthikey 2 will be the next blockbuster this year- small budget film with no promotion, focusing on Lord Krishna and the dharmic culture of our country. We dont want ghatiya remakes or sequels with hidden agendas. No thank you. HamHindustani 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Very pertinent question. I missed this one. So let me address it. I have no problems addressing or mocking the orthodoxy in Hindus. This something that annoys and even angers me. So I am perfectly okay if it's done. And I am not asking for monkey balancing here. Hinduism has reformed with persistent attacks by its own over the years. So I don't want this to be stopped. Of course on PK, the subject matter is what made lopsided attack on Hindu belief system look creatively odd. It's a story of an alien being landing up in this country and trying to find God that can help him. So nothing in the premise suggests that it should be lop sided mockery of Hindu symbols and gods. In fact he briefly tries Christianity and almost no mention of Islamic practices or beliefs. Creators hedging their bets. So creative decision taken obviously to keep the 'heads intact" of all involved. And I understand that. If I had to make a movie on this subject, i would also like my head in place after the project. But then don't blame me if I see compromised piece of work where the makers wanted to address the issue but did not have the gurda to go all the way through. As an die hard AK fan, i was in minority at the time when I expressed this view. Now the winds have shifted. It hasn't aged well. I have seen the other film. So cannot comment.

What has transpired since then . It can’t be that they all suddenly realized that his last name is Khan! The comparison with Azharuddin is mainly about playing the victim card. To become a superstar or generate box-office hits, him being a Muslim is not a hindrance. But on any setback, suddenly he is targeted because of his religion.

mishra Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Ravan is symbol evil for he abducted Sita and later gave her a deadline of a month to change her mind and marry him that too as a revenge for his sister Shapornakha. Hindus and even a lot of others are educated enough to understand above and burn the effiggy of Ravan as tradition instead Funny bit is, Coke fuelled Bollywoodians will make 100 movies on how tradition of effigy burning is bad to envornment while will either follow or have nothing to say about people following their Pagambars path. As a Hindu I am never surprised that "Sar Tan se Juda" is OK no problem for them, as moral standards exhibitted and historically recorded about Pagambars and revered leaders of these so called secular leftist libtards is 100 times worse then evil Ravan, but I have right to not to agree with them or call out hippocracy ravishingravi and diga 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the country changed and these guys remained out if touch with what's happened. AK was to a large extent also insulated and perhaps influenced by commie wife. Either ways, he has made a series of blunders and to some extent he is being shot down in cross fire. But he has to take the blame for series of PR disasters. To meet the Turkish President when tensions are high between countries and you know the optics look bad. They are just out of touch and they will be hammered economically. mishra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 To be a little fair to Amir in Secret Superstar he showed the extreme side of patriarchy and regressiveness in Muslims towards female. Also showed how a Hindu music director helped the Muslim girl who sang well. That said he still didn't link that to fundamentals of the religion which he sort of tried in PK.

dial_100 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 We are talking about my money that I spend on my entertainment, right? So whether it is Dev or Khan, or Kumar or Kapoor, it is still my money right? Do #hutiya bollywood ask me before investing, where they are investing and what movie are they making? If not, then get out of here. If someone thinks, that RW are biased then so be it. LW does the exact same thing for the movies they dont like. Hindus are doing it openly. Bollywood should stop preaching. Go sell your movie in China or anywhere else. mishra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Wolf Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Forrest Gump is considered one of the greatest conservative movies of all time, you find it in pretty much every such list and it's depiction of every side in the movie from the American Exceptionalist adhering patriots to the acid smoking flower children hippie/ pacifist commie/black supremacist civil rights movement is quite balanced and neutral. The main character despite being a half wit is always shown as staunchly religious due to his upbringing with Christian themes being enshrined in it throught and finds redemption while his opposite number who is also his childhood sweetheart turns into an off-the-rails nihilist who suffers throught the movie. If you wanted to do a 1:1 remake why not consider that instead of this vacuous and outdated Ganga jamuni ******ry with a cookie cutter uninspiring atheist protagonist that even these guys cannot be so out of touch to think will wash with the general public any longer.

G_B_ Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Politics aside i think Bollywood just needs fresh mass content in the era of ott. Aamir khan has the same expressions as he had in dhoom 3. People just wait for films to come onto ott before watching. South films are big brash and a feel good action packed ride. dial_100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
