Black, Bollycat and others...

Imagine a situation where you own a 1986 Bajaj whereas your neighbour has a Honda City, you live in a tattered house, your neighour who already has a bigger house is adding two more floors (although more ppl too), you are a social outcaste whereas your neighbour socializes with the cream. Your neighbour's income and stature keeps rising whereas its a struggle for you to make ends meet. You keep bickering over the back porch fence whereas your neighbour is busy building new businesses. Give yourself a moment and imagine how would you feel in such a situation???

Maybe this is exactly how a Pakistani feels vis-a-vis India. Haydur Agha is one such disgruntled and envious Pakistani. (BTW, what kind of name is that? Probably his parents spelt Haider deliberately this way so as to make him realize all along that he was a mistake.) So this guy Agha is ranting about how Movies from 'bollywood' are copies of western flicks and shameless ones at that (http://www.bollycat.com/). Of all people, how on earth could someone be so brazen. Pakistanis made 'Raja Pakistani' out of 'Raja Hindustani' (Thanks Gurdish!). And this shameless Paki thinks living in US, he can hold a moral high-ground, judging ppl as shameless or otherwise. There wouldn't had been a problem had he made a plain catalogue, but this guy thinks he is too smart and is farting his opinions all over making the most incredulous generalizations. He confesses not seeing hindi films but sees no problem in being judgemental about them, He'd do anything to discount Hindi films. If this is the kind of mindset that Paki's generally have, then I don't think relations can ever improve.
But surprisingly enough for me at least, Chidananda Rajghatta, ToI's US correspondent was stupid enough to do a piece on Agha's farts. One more reason that I'm beginning to dislike ToI!

All that apart, one thing that I got to know this morning is that Black is a lift-off from 'The Miracle Worker'. Expected better from Bhansali but anyway!!!

P.S. I'd like to request all those who read this not to use the word 'Bollywood'. Its a shame that we use it altogether. We have our own identity, lets stick to the "Bombay film industry".

I am in total agreement with you , about these pakistani's , they dont have there own identity , hence they always feel like being sick and deprived .
Just few days back i was coming back from melbourne city to my home using a cab , the cabi was paki , and as usual i started discussing with him about the pakistani cricket team which was touring australia at that point of time , he was in total pain when talking about paki's team performance in australia , but he said one thing very proudly which was when indian team toured pakistan in yr 2001 then as per the instructions of musharaf, the pakistani team lost test match and one day series to india( i dont remember ke india hara tha ya jeeta tha) , hence pakistan lost to india in that series reaon being india se rishte sudharne ke liye otherwise as per him paki team is undefeatable , but he was totally shame less because unki team ki lagi hui thei idhar ,
ON this point ,i told him that problem with him is that he wants to justify some thing which is completely unjustifiable if we think normally keeping our eyes and brain open , and said when paki team will visit india and if india loose to pakistan then i will give him this same bullshit " agar hum agli baar mile to" but when i was leaving his taxi , i fucked him and said" shayad hum near future main nahi mil paayenge , aur india main shayad hi pakistan kabhi jeet paaye "aur pakistani team ki halat abhi aaise hai ki, abhi to vo kenya se bhi haar jaayegi tab yeh kah kar ki rishte sudharlena ke liye haare the kenya se, apne ko khushi dete rahna . itna sunte hi , that cabi put his car in directly II gear aur aaise bhaga ki jaise uski gand main maine petrol laga diya ho.
chal vaise maine is paki ki site kholi hai aur soch raha hu ki iski kaise maaro.

Well Tarun,
"i told him that problem with him is that he wants to justify some thing which is completely unjustifiable if we think normally keeping our eyes and brain open"
How about for once you keep the same mindset towards the fact that yes bollywood does copy hollywood.

"Anonymous"
Who is that ???
If any one don't like to watch copied movies it's his or her wish ,no body is forcing any body here to watch any thing which he or she don't like , but it also doesn't mean that the person should try to burden others mind by pushing his views or thinking on them.
