Give us s...But Abhigyan, isnt that the whole point. Give us something credible to watch or fool us well with the caricatures and in my view Johar has consistently failed to fool us. And David Dhawan does so much of a better job at that. This is in reference to the Rangeela bit.<BR/><BR/>I think this whole big thing is well big talk. Anything in the past 30 years in Mumbai which has been big has actually been trash. Roop Ki Raani Choron ka Raja, Trimurti, Mangal Pandey...and some names I cannot recall.<BR/><BR/>The point remains that money can be out to much better use than getting huge stars, shooting in NY, and the designer sets and clothes. Money is very important and so are stars, but what does stop the ones who can wield both to make better use of it.<BR/><BR/>The flaw I keep pointing out is that these guys are playing within the genre of hindi films in terms of characterization. Characters are heroic, untarnished, they look for love, they are not lonley, they are not horny.....its a very simple twick that our writers need to inject in...as simple as that and so many of the unexplained of our movies can become so much more palatable.<BR/><BR/>And I agree that my review goes on an extreme there where I demand reality or a film study of the country's problems but in simple terms what I mean is films are meaningful cause they capture some portion of our lives in them or atleast that is how character empathy begins and my problem with KANK remains that even yuppie types in NY city will not have such whimsical reasons to opt out of a marriage.<BR/><BR/>In the end films are stories, all i seek is a good story teller who maybe incredulous if he can carry it off but hello tell me a good story even if it is the story of Mittal's son's love life.<BR/><BR/>I if you remember clearly loved Dil Chahta hai, saw it like five times in the theatres alone. Where was aam junta in that film, nowhere, it was as elitist if not more than Johar's films but the point was not elitism but a good story teller. I think DCH carries the point more clearly.itineranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764520998085530843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9390214.post-1155966819615942312006-08-19T11:23:00.000+05:302006-08-19T11:23:00.000+05:30Afterthought, to have active links, just copy the ...Afterthought, to have active links, just copy the url from the browser window (use IE for blogspot), paste it, and voila it becomes active.Agyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503056769448425400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9390214.post-1155965798388164972006-08-19T11:06:00.000+05:302006-08-19T11:06:00.000+05:30Satya-san, am flattered..As always, you expect peo...Satya-san, am flattered..<BR/><BR/>As always, you expect people to be all-rounders...I agree with your point on the continued regression or lack of adventure of Karan Johar, and in this movie it comes across again as a perceived happy ending. And if you want to be ultra-real, it would have been doubtful whether SRK's character in this movie could ever have a happy ending..I have always felt the same about 'Rangeela' too (and we both liked it), but if I can suspend my belief there, I am ready to do the same for KJ too...He has no pretences to being realist too.<BR/><BR/>KJ is not capable of making small films, period. Not comparing them, but Spielberg also isn't. Even his most critically acclaimed movie, Schindler's List, is not small by any imagination. It is possibly more rooted in reality than his ET/futuristic fantasies.<BR/><BR/>Ramu once upon a time was relatively versatile, though his only good movie outside the action/thriller/hard-hitting genre was Rangeela possibly. Daud would have been there, but suffered from too many loopholes. Farhan Akhtar still might turn out to be, but he also does not look like making a small movie. Govind Nihalani has made a semi crossover (loved Takshak, liked Dev), Prakash Jha even in a more mixed manner.<BR/><BR/>What I am fine with in Johar's case is his relative honesty, in terms of beliefs and convictions. He would have never seen the seamier side of lives possibly, so he is happy exploring rich people's emotions. The problem was when a capitalist like Manmohan Desai made Amitabh mouth socialist dialogues in 'Coolie', disgusting! At least we are living in a more honest era today.Agyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503056769448425400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9390214.post-1155965387051689832006-08-19T10:59:00.000+05:302006-08-19T10:59:00.000+05:30yeah...this film can attract NRI and many wanna-be...yeah...this film can attract NRI and many wanna-be-NRI type of middle class Indians. <BR/><BR/>I think his fiml could be enjoyable in many sense (like laughing at SRK wearing "cool" neckless in KKHH..haha) but they are not "good" films which can somehow get place in my mind for long. For me, Johar's film is fake. The film can never drag me emotionally. <BR/><BR/>KKHH...where is such a school in India? (Maybe..American school in Chanakyapuri) KKKG...driving fancy car to school and everyone welcomes you?<BR/><BR/>Most of Johar's film is about something to laugh at its pathetic features. <BR/><BR/>Yes..it may be enjoyable (it's song was good) but it is due to actors and actress...we should not call it as good film. never!ayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925769902529863479noreply@blogger.com
