If one thinsk the media will ALWAYS overhype films of certain actors but one still goes to see them, then there are many names for such people, but we are not supposed to indulge in name calling!!!! As for diluting the main topic with peripheral content, it might be worth starting a new topic when one is talking of stuff not relevant to the one at hand.<br /><br />The relevance of MNIK and its Box Office is being dismissed AFTER the films has become the second biggest grosser EVER. I guess by that same token Ace Khan will become irrelevant UNLESS he tops his 3 Idiots feat. <br /><br />Obituaries have been written before for SRK, and I think they will be written again and again by the naysayers.

It has nothing to do with Bombay but with straight out plagiarism. Shilpa character stays within the bounds of her marriage so in the unique bit the director dares to show us nothing new.<br /><br />Dangerous Liaisons has nothing to do with KANK per se, but it is about how infidelity is treated among the rich and the poor. It is more about what setting suits such films.<br /><br />Not only Johar but entire Bollywood needs grounded script writers who are given their due and not treated like trash, and discarded after their stories are stolen by big producers! There are enough grounded stories in BW but where si the audience for these films? Are Ghajini and 3 Idiots (chosen only as examples of three of the biggest films recently along with MNIK) GROUNDED stories? That is laughable!<br /><br />Thank god K Jo did not butcher Forrest GUMP! At least his protagonist did not carry an entire battalion on his shoulders and run them to safety, win a football match, become a ping pong champ, all the while being a man with a leg brace and low IQ!<br /><br />About Dharma productions and remakes, even Scorsese remade Infernal Affairs into Departed.

Its another matter shetty’s character feels guilty and does not / could not cross her limit. The theme is similar to Kank but treatment is different.<br /><br />I thought KANK’s initial inspiration was a movie named Closer with Julia Roberts , though agree both are different movies altogether. <br /><br />Have not seen Dangerous Liaisons, but the way these movies are ‘bollydiwise” it would have been better if johar came up with an original idea and believe me a metro like bombay is full of these faith and betrayal stories.ApexHeightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293241494420558569noreply@blogger.com
