Pakistan proposes lifting ban on Indian films

Just read this news.
Yeah I know, it's good for Indian economy, good for building up friendship between India and Pakistan, yada yada yada..

But I wonder how a Hindi movie will shape up with this new revenue avenue. Imagine a movie opening in Pakistan on the same Friday it's hitting screens in India and elsewhere. Already Yash Raj movies and Karan Johar movies are made for NRIs (read south Asian diaspora aka muslims).

Seriously, Hindi Film heroes might be named as Salim/ali/hussein..instead of eternal prem/rahul/rohit... Throw in a Hindu villain and ahhh..a Hindu heroine name wouldn't hurt either.

Before the readers come into a conclusion that I'm a racist, please recall this movie. main hoon na Here is the plot in nutshell. A army major rescues another major's daughter from a hindu extremist ...WTF. Director Farah Khan intelligently establishes the Hindu Extremist Raghavan's charecter with this scene. Raghavan (played by sunil shetty) kills a innocent Pakistani kid in Point Blank range just for crossing the border. And the intelligence continues in character names also. Sharukh and Zayed characters are named as Ram and Lakshman.

If my memory is not wrong, Kamal Hasan rejected this hindu extremist's role coz of the characterization. Any sensible actor would do the same thing. Now I'm not the only one complaining. Please follow this link.


....there are increasingly large numbers who charge there is undercurrent of pro-Islamist and subtle anti-Hindu messaging in Khan's brand of cinema planted within the rest of the entertainment. An industry observer points out that while Shahrukh Khan has never made a film targetting Islamic terrorists, the villain in Khan's previous high profile production, Main Hoon Na also was instead a 'Hindu terrorist' of none other than the Indian army itself.

Hope the Hindi movies remain close to Indian/Hindu tastes and sentiments.

Jai Hind.

Mega fanatics!

2007 was one of the worst years in Chiru's career. Not only did he not have a successful movie, but personally he suffered the loss of his father and also his younger daughter. Anyone that believes in Karma relate his youger daughter's episode to that of Uday Kiran's. An upcoming hero and a hard core fan of chiru almost became his idol's son-in-law and a mega-alludu; Uday Kiran's career would have been very different had things gone his way. Chiru's political aspirations made Uday an instant star, an inter-caste marriage would have fetched chiru good support, however it is believed that due to the force from his community, chiru had to call off the wedding. Unfortunately, Uday was made a scapegoat. Coming back to Karma, chiru got back his dues in the form of Srija. It's hard to blame chiru in this episode, there probably is nothing he could have done, but, nobody knows what exactly happened behind those closed doors when Srija was locked up. 

During that whole episode, there was nothing chiru could have done better. He handled himself well and fast forwarding to the current episode, between Chiru and Rajasekhar, there is nothing he could have done here either. Like Srija said, it is not just about Chiru. It's his fans that she was afraid of. Chiru's fans are probably the worst anyone can have. Some of them love chiru so much that they hate everything about others. They view all others as chiru's enemies. I could hardly find fault with Rajasekhar's statement. When asked if he would join Chiru's party, RS said he would not and when asked for the reason he said, Chiru does not have political experience. An ordinary person would see that as a true statement. However, chiru's so called fans who cannot think straight are hurt by that statement and decide to prove a point and attack Rajasekhar and his family. They also shoot this entire episode and send it to TV9 so they can get their point across? What exactly is their point??? Anyone who speak against chiru, even if it is the truth will not be spared and will be attacked?! Is that what they were trying to say?

I am pretty sure, Mohan Babu is next on their list. If there is a list that mega fans maintain it would definitely be incomplete without his name. It's time for chiru to make up his mind. He exactly might not be responsible directly to any of this, but the way he treats his fans and the way he interacts with his various fans associations, he is sending them wrong messages. He is probably misled by his brothers and brother-in-law. He is getting carried away and is blinded by the people behind him. Unfortunately, he will never be able to realize this. But if he really wants to help people and enter into politics he should look beyond his fans and family. He should start ignoring those fans who expect to be noticed by doing stupid things like this. Democracy and dictatorship cannot coexist. Unfortunately, for Chiru, he has to choose his path before he enters politics. If he truly believes in democracy, he should stop encouraging his stupid fans. Chiru's brother Nagababu issued a statement saying these fans that attacked Rajasekhar and his family are not registered Chiru fans. I wonder what he exactly meant. Something definitely is fishy the way things are. I cannot mention this enough, but Chiru should wake up!!!
