Your arguments are all over the place. For one your commenting on the movie without actually watching it. :confused: Or if you have, you haven't at least mentioned it in this thread. I've seen the movie and found Irfan to be absolutely over bearing. You may have a different opinion, which is fair enough. However its difficult to take your opinion of the movie seriously when you haven't even watched it. FYI, the current trend in Bollywood is that the bulk of your revenues are from the 1st week. Even a crappy movie like SIngham made 47.70 crs (budget 15 crs) in the opening weekend. Ra.1 made nearly a 100 crs. Going by your 'logic' truer cinemagoers appreciated the content and quality of the aforementioned two movies. As a movie PST is definitely better than Singham and Ra.1. Since when are BO returns over the opening weekend any criteria for cinematic excellence? Once again, what does SRK/Congress/Hilsa/grinch have to do with PST? :confused: Meh. You really are clueless. The primary objective of having a brand ambassador is not foreign investment/tourists, but to attract domestic tourists and domestic investment. Amitabh Bachchan does the same for Gujarat. Haven't you seen his 'welcome to Gujarat' ad with the back drop of the Somnath mandir. Milind Soman and Nasseruddin Shah have represented Rajasthan etc. Basically it is an attempt to undo the damage to brand West Bengal caused by the whole Nano and Cognizant ( or was it some other IT company?) fiasco. So while it may not make any sense to you, it apparently made a lot of sense to Ms.Mamta Banerjee and her cabinet. I don't think they'd be that stupid to part with rokra unless there is some substantial RoI.
Signgham saaru movie atu :agree:

I watched the film. Excellent film. Great story, wonderful acting by Irrfan, who is very convincing with his portrayal. Mahie Gill also did a good job as did the guy who was Paan's senior, as was the played Major Randhava. 5/5. Must watch. Especially for the message with which it ends. :isalute:

I would pay to watch that....:haha:

I did see the movie. As someone said...rare gem from Bollywood. The scene where he was punished by the Major and he asked "should I run w/ my bag or w/o" had me rolling on the floor. Every scene captured my attention even the ones that could've been edited out. Irfan's performance is simply outstanding. His eyes expressed his emotion, pride & remorse at the same time. Outstanding performance to say the least. 9/10 from me FYI, small budgeted movies with good content usually gets swept under the rug in Indian box office. This movie released without any fanfare or media glare or bombardment of trailers and yet it captured attention of the mass...now that by itself is a self praise for the direction, script and the performances. Usually big budget movies with incredible marketing, self proclaimed 'badshahs' lures general public into bringing their whole families and invest a small fortune on scripts scrapped together from several trash cans. However, this movie proved that solid performance & well directed movies do get appreciated by the niche audience and in this rare case even with the masala pop corn loving public.
