Certainly if satyam did so I am hardly responsible!<BR/><BR/>I did say that Hritik is not as good as Abhishek in the dialog-oriented scenes, and I stand by that. I also said that Abhishek couldn't compete with Hritik on the high octane stunts, and I stand by that too.Qalandarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822440676942755461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1164445634376492902006-11-25T04:07:00.000-05:002006-11-25T04:07:00.000-05:00Hi,Sorry qualanderBut i am really disappointed abo...Hi,<BR/><BR/>Sorry qualander<BR/>But i am really disappointed about ur and satyam views in NG forum.<BR/>Look at latest views on Dhoom2.<BR/>You and particulary Satyam behaves like they are going to kill Hrithik for getting such a review from all others and AB jr getting not only nothing but the bad reviews.<BR/>See the Satyam line: Hrithik is a joker in the movie. What one can say about that.Only tells that how frustrated the person is.<BR/>But one thing proves again:<BR/>In 2000 Hrithik was the star and AB jr was none.<BR/>In 2006,after seven years,Hrithik now a Super Star and AB jr is ....<BR/>I am agreed with Taran on Amitabh and Sashi Kapoor analogy.<BR/>Shashi Kapoor was not bad but he was not amitabh.<BR/>Ab jr not bad(he even not equal to sashi when comes to career hits) but not Hrithik<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>AkshatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1164181033915905192006-11-22T02:37:00.000-05:002006-11-22T02:37:00.000-05:00Thanks guys!

One wouldn't find the latter's success so problematic were it not for the fact that true to his history the director after offering the most sacharine film for about 90% of the narrative (and one which at least has the virtue of representing small town Indian life) resorts to a somewhat sick twist in the final segment of the film. This twist relies on some rather offensive tropes on the one hand and is on the other a part of the film's moral fabric in the most perverse sense."Qalandarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822440676942755461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1163903784059656752006-11-18T21:36:00.000-05:002006-11-18T21:36:00.000-05:00Nice review.

I liked <I>Barso Re</I> and <I>Baazi Laga</I> more than you did.<BR/>I guess <I>Baazi Laga</I> will be a background track (Recall the visuals of Abhishek standing still in a stock market with other traders around him in fast forward mode).<BR/><BR/>I think <I>Guru</I> soundtrack works more in the context of the film. Incidentally, I had same feelings when I heard Alai Payuthey soundtrack for the first time :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1163868350239159952006-11-18T11:45:00.000-05:002006-11-18T11:45:00.000-05:00akshat: to be fair satyam's point might be that he...akshat: to be fair satyam's point might be that he has never claimed to be merely reporting news and is giving his opinion like anyone else, whereas the so called trade pundits and BO gurus claim to be unbiased and merely reporting. i.e. satyam has never denied his support for AB Jr..., whereas those who do plug other stars by means of their BO columns pretend that merely news is involved...Qalandarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822440676942755461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1163842274993897942006-11-18T04:31:00.000-05:002006-11-18T04:31:00.000-05:00Hi Qualander,Akshat Here.Hope you remember.I alway...Hi Qualander,<BR/>Akshat Here.Hope you remember.<BR/>I always wished I can post comment on naachgaana, but Rohit have some issue I think (may be I had told Him that I am not Shahrukh Fan)<BR/><BR/>Ok its very genral observation.Few guys have issue related to Shahrukh Fans.I was agreed.<BR/>But I now found that same members are behaving even worse.just read satyam boxoffice this week.<BR/>Even abid does not has gone to such a lenth to support Shahrukh as he has gone to support AB.<BR/>I found it hard to beleive.Shahrukh is atleast a star whether one like him or not.But AB he is not a star and thats what UJ BoxOffice shows.He was the Hero of movie.<BR/>Same time these guys always try to shows Hrithik some what lesser than what he is.<BR/>Other thing why satyam puts up his views in his boxoffice report when he objects abid to do so.<BR/>Boxoffice is meant to show boxoffice results not reasons and if you have some views regarding certain movie put it in review of the movie.He has objection regarding so called mediocare movies ASMM and vivah.Movie is accepting by the people and thats why its HIT.All other logics not hold for vivah.<BR/><BR/>You remember, In my last post to you I said I wish LRM will be big hit than Krissh.<BR/>I was right .<BR/>This time Its not vene wish, I am sure,Vivah will be Bigger Hit than LRM.I had seen the movie and no movie ,I have seen this year,has such strong second half.Beleive me I have seen it in multiplex at noida and in the hall I can listen the sound of my chair when i was shifting(except ofcourse movie sound).I hope you understand what i wnat to say.<BR/>I had spend most of my life in small towns of country and I know why its going to be universal Blockbuster in India<BR/>LRM may be different, strickes at different cord but no where in movie you think yourself as munna or circuit or even any character of movie.In vivah you can relate.<BR/>I am not as old as aloknath,even I am not married but can relate to him. As I have two sister who got married and I know how it feels after your sis/daughter got married.If I can relate to him then I have no doubt how many others will relate.Not only Alok you can relate to other characters very easily.<BR/><BR/>Its individuals choice what one like or not.If Satyam finds the movie's end not good or some other crtic has an objection ,say it as simply as that we have this objection and did not liked it.But to say that medicore film is earning and so called his/her high quality film is not,its total bullshit. <BR/>I am unable to understand why so called critics think that movie goers are fool and they are the intelligent one.And what is standard of our critics,people knows.Thats why they donot go on watching the movie based upon critics rating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1163827609180884852006-11-18T00:26:00.000-05:002006-11-18T00:26:00.000-05:00Thanks anonymous I did, but I can't see it on indi...Thanks anonymous I did, but I can't see it on indiafm...does it take some time to show up?Qalandarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822440676942755461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1163826909414834442006-11-18T00:15:00.000-05:002006-11-18T00:15:00.000-05:00post this complete music review of guru on indiafm...post this complete music review of guru on indiafm.com along with your link to this blog on<BR/>http://www.indiafm.com/movies/usermusicreviews/12838/index.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1163826231298277232006-11-18T00:03:00.000-05:002006-11-18T00:03:00.000-05:00Siva: it's hard to get more stylish than the song ...Siva: it's hard to get more stylish than the song "Mayya" in this album in my opinion...Qalandarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822440676942755461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1163822203051222082006-11-17T22:56:00.000-05:002006-11-17T22:56:00.000-05:00SivaRahman please skip period films we need stylis...<B>Siva</B><BR/>Rahman please skip period films we need stylish rahman songs when r u going to stop this period filmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1163817793923672062006-11-17T21:43:00.000-05:002006-11-17T21:43:00.000-05:00No subhendu, the more I listen to this album the m...No subhendu, the more I listen to this album the more I like it.Qalandarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822440676942755461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1163817101957519362006-11-17T21:31:00.000-05:002006-11-17T21:31:00.000-05:00Aren't u just overtly generous to Rahman?http://yo...Aren't u just overtly generous to Rahman?<BR/><BR/>http://yourscandidly-subhendu.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1163786320934183632006-11-17T12:58:00.000-05:002006-11-17T12:58:00.000-05:00Mayya Mayya will be all over the Discos after Fana...Mayya Mayya will be all over the Discos after Fanaa<BR/><BR/>Great Album!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15324170.post-1163781002828263312006-11-17T11:30:00.000-05:002006-11-17T11:30:00.000-05:00Wonderful review.
